Hello everyone!
I would really like to join you. I just gave birth to my second child a month ago. I gained lots of weight while I was pregnant. The day I delivered weighted 215 now I'm 186. My short term goal is to be down to 175 by may and my long term goal is 130. I don't always have lots of time to workout so I like to do smaller amounts of exsercise more often during the day. As for food I like to try different healthy recipes and I don't eat things that are advertised for weightloss. I beleive they are full chemicals. I'm looking forward to share my experiences with all of you.

Well, good night everyone! Way to bring it again! I was in a short-lived funk the past day and a half, and I didn't like it AT ALL!:noway: :noway:
Alas, I am out of it and ready to bring it yet again! I figured out my problem. I missed Tony Horton. Chalene was making it fun for a few days, but I'm in a more serious mood, and P90X is where it's at. I could only make it through 25 minutes of TurboJam tonight, but once I popped in Core Synergistics, I was back!
Thanks for the cheering on! I needed it...and tomorrow will be another great day.

Welcome! Welcome!
Glad to have you back at it, M!
:glasses:
I gave away our old (20 year old!:laugh: ) treadmill yesterday to one of the young girls who works at the gym. She was going to buy a used one, the deal fell through, so she hauled off our old one that hasn't been touched in 7 months. It was state of the art back before cordless phones!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
4 rounds of elliptical today! :bigsmile: I also did some weight lifting at home tonight.
The dinner casserole was soooo yummy! =] It was a veggie casserole, but it tasted better than most chicken casseroles I've prepared.
Great job today everyone. M, I'm glad to see you back in full force! :flowerforyou:
Georg- That was really generous of you! I think we might buy a treadmill next if we can get a great deal on one too.
Good night all =]0 -
sweet-
Tell us about your Chilaquiles Casserole. It sounds good to me.0 -
TGIF! I've had such a crazy couple days, but still bringin' it! I got in my 5 mile run y'day and this morning was ChaLean Extreme Lean Circuit #3. I LOVE this workout, I think it's my fav lean. It's a chest & shoulder workout. I LOVE working the chest and shoulders!
Have a super day!!! :drinker:0 -
Hi everyone. I've been sick!
I have the flu or something, which I caught from my boyfriend and his family. I almost never get sick so I hate this. I don't have much of a fever like he does, but I'm tired, achy, bad cough, runny nose, etc. For the last two days I've been too sick to work out which is really rare and which I'm hating!
So I just wanted to check in and let everyone know that I'm still alive but not active on the forum because of being sick. Hopefully this weekend I'll be recovered, I still want to post pics!
Good luck everyone.0 -
i am so sorry you're sick - i have the exact same symptoms!
i am bummed that i can't workout, but i'll keep eating right - pumping the fluids and fresh fruit into me - and just give my body the rest it demands...
the upside? my commute to school apparently burns 300 calories! (but that is all i could manage in terms of exercise today!)
hang in there and i'm sure we'll both be healthy and jumping around real soon!0 -
Morning everyone!
It's a great day out. 60 degrees and sunny! I'll be headed outside for a jog today. Too bad so many of you are sick. My sister is too...rest up and I'm sure you'll make a full recovery. TGIF!0 -
Get Well Soon to all of our sickies
It's sunny and goegeous here too. I will definitely be spending lots of time outside today! :happy:0 -
Hey team! Im back home woot woot...cant wait to get back to my normal routine I stuck to my calories and excercise but there is nothing like doing it at home....I hope everyone had a good week and I look forward to bringing it over the weekend!!:drinker:0

Everyone feel better soon
I had my usual for breakfast today and then my hubby and I went out to lunch at a really cool bar and grill downtown. This place has both Low Calorie meals and Low Carb meals, so I was very impressed, I ended up getting a Turkey Breast sandwich on wheat bread with a side of salad. It was sooo yummy!
I plan to have 3 rounds with the elliptical machine today, as well as some weight lifting. My weight is up .6 pounds, do I'm a little confused why, but oh well I'm going to keep going at this.
Have a great day everyone!0 -
Hey Sweet,
I wouldn't worry too much about being up .6 pounds. I've heard some people say that when they start working out they initially gain a little bit due to some water retention in their muscles. However, it's only temporary and goes away after awhile. Also, daily fluctuations are nothing to be too concerned about.
Getting ready to bring it tonight! Hope everyone has a good weekend.0 -
Wow.
What a day.
It wasn't THAT bad, as I look back on it....:grumble:
But I'm very proud of not indulging in the pizza at work this afternoon. :bigsmile:
Getting ready now to hit the track!
wahoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Let the weekend begin!
:glasses:0 -
Aww why the bad day Georg? I kind of had a bit of a trying day again as well...some things. Well, stupid people just make me work out harder, so I guess they're good in the long run
.
Totally KILLED KenpoX tonight, weighted gloves and everything. It was awesome. Hopefully I'll get to run tomorrow. Or not, it's looking like it's going to thunderstorm. Way to say no to office horrors! It seems like there is something every day....
Bring IT!
Have a good weekend everyone.

May I brag about my clean eating soapbox????
I've been busy tonight (not working out) preparing for a swim meet tomorrow. There will be 15 swim teams with 2-3 coaches each competing at the local high school. Since my kids were swimmers years ago I've prepared lunch for all the coaches, officials & volunteer timers. I bring sliced turkey, ham & roast beef, cheeses, whole grain bread, homemade pasta salad, green salad & raw veggies.
If they weren't served a quick lunch onsite between events, they would have to send out for fast food down the street. They have practiced those students all week, will be traveling on the buses before daybreak to get here & sit out in the sun/weather all day ...the least I can do is donate a little healthy lunch. I always tell them I'd rather make their lunch than do what they do!
I have the salads made now, the veggies cut up. In the morning I'll arrange the meats & cheeses.
The coaches all appreciate it so - they hug me each year as they leave & tell me they come just for the lunch!:blushing:
I think it's important to promote clean eating wherever you can.
So maybe I took a day off working out, but it's important to me & I'll be sure to make up for it tomorrow.

Way to go Georg! :flowerforyou: It's def ok to brag about that.
I completed my 3 rounds on the elliptical machine, took a long walk with my hubby and our dogs, and I'm about to lift some weights after I post. =]
My casserole had zucchini, black beans, corn, reduced fat cheese, corn tortillas, diced tomatoes and enchilada sauce. I think I found the recipe here also. I had that for dinner tonight as well.
It was around 60 degrees here, but it was still a little chilly for me. I love the sun :laugh: I hope it warms up early for everyone.
G'nite all! :yawn:0 -
