    WOOHOO!!! Finished my first 2 mile race walk. I did the same race last year and finished 3rd to last! This year there were more racers and the course was a mess due to rain! I finished firmly in the middle of the pack! AND I RAN OVER HALF OF IT!!!! I am bouncing on air! The best part was when my 10 year old came to me at the finish line and said "I wasn't expecting you til the end. Guess that working out crap is working". High praise from a 10 year old!

    Came home and did an hour of yoga to stretch everything out!

    817 calories burned so far and it's not even noon!

    JR I'm so sorry to here about this. But I'm sure by now you are out of surgery and that it all went well. Big hugs are heading your way as well as positive thoughts for a quick recovery.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Yesterday I didn't get to the pool but I did do a homemade bootcamp style workout which made me burn over 500 cals. Also I tried something different for dinner. I had made a big batch of tomato based pasta sauce that had to be used up but didn't have the cals to eat pasta. So I used a trick I had seen on MFP, I used zucchini instead! It worked really well. I just used very long thin slices of zucchini cooked for a few mins in a pan and then topped it with turkey, pasta sauce, and parmesan cheese YUMMY!!!! My DH was also very impressed. I will totally be cooking it again.

    OK Team let's go strong for JR this week and stay on top of our goal, 200 mins, under cals, and at least 8 cups of water!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!

    I find it hard to drink all my water--any suggestions to make it easier??

    You can get flavors to add to your water. I get the Great Value Grape and I have no problem getting in water then.

    Hey everyone, I should be able post today. On minimal pain killers. Everything went good, they did it via endoscopic. Should get out tomorrow if no problems today. Dr said in about a week I should be able to do light walking then in about 2 weeks I can do most of my normally things but would wait three weeks before heavy weight lifting especially square and anything putting trama on lower body. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers and I'm still here to kick your rears!!!!

    Yes you need min of 8 glasses or you lose a point. :-) also for those hating water there is things like : mio, propel, and true orange that add flavor to water without adding calories. Walmart carries all of them.

    sorry i missed the thread yesterday, spent most of the afternoon at urgent care for my stomach issues...turns out i brought a lovely parasite home from my honeymoon in Mexico! i've been struggling with EVERYTHING (water, eating, exercise) so i am hoping the medicine they gave me makes me feel better soon. i am feeling better today (managed to have some homemade french toast for breakfast) and have been able to keep water down. i am hoping to go on a walk around the neighborhood later as well. i am going to do my best to get to the gym this week!

    Jr glad everything went great. I guess the stomach bug is going around. I didn't hold anything down yesterday. I feel lots better today, but not eating yet. Hoping I'll be back to eating and working out tomorrow.

    Jr,calliope and sherrisloan I hope you all get to feeling 100% soon!!!!

    To everyone else- You are all doing a great job on the workouts!!!! Keep it up!!!

    I have been so crazy busy the last two days getting my sons birthday party together, cleaning and yard work. I got my workouts in on top of it all. Sadly just the 30day shred and I like to workout longer then the 25 minutes. But I am sure I got some crazy burn doing all that work. Today is my rest day (my sundays are my rest days usually).

    MAKE it a GREAT day!!!!

    Well, I'm going to do something either incredibly stupid or very courageous! My hubs and I attend a Bible study at a friend's house across the highway. I just mapped it and it's 2.5 miles from house to house. Yes, I'm going to walk it. I'm going to leave an hour early and hopefully get there right on time. It's cool out today, unlike Thursday when I walked part of the way and had to call for a ride home. So, hopefully I'll make it and I know I'll feel incredibly proud of myself if I do. My hubs said to just call him if I feel I can't continue for whatever reason. Most of the way includes nice shady streets. I think I'll do fine.

    On another note, several people at church today mentioned that I'm "looking good". Even my pastor commented. Love those NSV's!!

    Hope you all have a great week and feel great!
