Pin-up Girls - Last Week

I also totally understand .We all get busy and life takes over.Well my day was fine. With going to beauty school I don't have a lot of time to work out so I mostly just get as much walking in as i can.I think i ate pretty well resisted having too much pizza for dinner,even though i was starving when i got home.Drinking some water helped.:) These are the days i wish i had Saturday and Sunday off and not Sunday and Monday.Saturday can you come sooner?lol.I figured I would start hitting the gym hard on the days i have off and Saturday nights.:) I wish i had a gym buddy cause then i would have more motivation to want to go.It would also be nice if i wasn't the only one in my house making this life style change.Its like they're dangling the bad foods in my face.

I've walked 4.5 miles a day for the past two days by combining two of Leslie Sansone's 30 minute videos... 30 Minute Walk and Walk & Jog. The time goes by really quickly and I feel refreshed after doing them... even though I work up a really good sweat. I think I'm going to do these two videos every morning since they almost get me to my 10,000 steps (or 5 miles) per day that we're supposed to be aiming for and my normal daily activities should take care of the rest. I'm also going to continue with my strength training 2-3 times per week but I've decided to kick it up a notch as I'm not satisfied with the results or lack thereof. :indifferent: The program I'm following seems a bit too slow with the basics so I'm moving on to the next level.

Hope everyone is well and remembering to take care of themselves. :bigsmile:

light1980 - I feel for you. DH's family has a crazy history. The issues between his dad and his wife and his mother were horrible for a long time. His little brothers played them off of each other. The "new wife" was a psycho ***** and would fabricate problems. It was a nasty situation. The best thing you can do is what you're doing. Be there and be supportive of him and his decisions. Sometimes it's hard to hold your tongue, and sometimes you're better off not holding your tongue.

Thanks! Neil does tell me everything that she says to him...good and bad...and it hurts me not the things she says, but the things she says to him that make him hurt...grrr!! But I just have to deal with it because I know him and I will get married one day :-)

I did so awful eating yesterday...grr....I was doing so good all week too...I had to make that beer bread yesterday morning...and I won't be able to make it to the gym today..but I will so be there tomorrow morning, plus I have a wedding reception tomorrow night to, so hopefully I can burn some calories dancing!! I did take burn like over 1000 calories yesterday, so that did help, but knowing what I ate and drank (you don't want to know :grumble: ), I should have burned 2000 calories. I'm just hoping that being good 6 days out of seven will be enough to at least lose something instead of gain!! Have a great weekend!! :-)

My period started today with a vengeance. Complete with horrible cramps, boosting and the desire to cry every 5 minutes. I have acquired 6 lbs of water (and maybe some actual weight due to my pig out session of pizza and wine on Friday night) since Thursday! Oh boy. I can say with 100% certainty that I am not looking forward to the number on the scale tomorrow!!

My final weight for the challenge is 172.4. Thanks for posting this, and I wish everyone good luck on their weight loss.

TOM came for me this week too On top of being sick and losing someone on my team at work which is more work unloaed on my shoulders. Yee-freakin-haw...

232.2 is my final weigh in man it's been a rough 10 weeks but will work better next time!

Sorry I missed yesterday! Holiday here and I didn't log on the computer once. I stayed the same this week I felt like a truck ran me over all weekend and just can't shake it, even today. Fighting it tooth and nail though. It's funny how Mommy can feel like crap but she still has to get everything done and taken care of (including riding lessons, giving the pony a bath and cleaning tack - argh!)

Rachel, thank you for handling this for so many weeks. You've been wonderful and I really do appreciate it. The progress that you have made on your journey is amazing. Keep up the great work!
