    Anyone watching this baseball!

    I didn't go run last night because baseball got over with late (it started at 3 and we are not on the east coast our games are usually 2.5 hours long, Plenty of daylight left to run) It wen until almost 8 last night and it was dark.

    The last time I went running and it was dark I fell and skinned my knee. So looks like I will be doing some overtime today! However I am pretty sure the game got my heart rate to a crazy level because well if you watched the Rangers game you know!

    Anyway happy Tuesday yall! Have great day!

    Well I wouldn't run if the last time was a disaster :wink: and I don't watch baseball... I hate baseball... the long boring games are almost as bad as basketball to me with their squeaky shoes! :flowerforyou:

    Hi all :)

    So this week I only lost 0.2 kilos (0.4 pounds) but I haven't really had much time to do anything as I'm going on holidays next week then back to work after being on maternity leave *sigh*

    This week I plan on losing a kilo before leaving for holiday.. Will get to gym at least 4 times before I go. I'm lucky they have a great crèche!

    I went back through the threads and added your personal goal to the spreadsheet... I thought as you are viewing your weigh ins it would remind us that where we want to be this month - I KNOW I need this right now!

    I gained one pound I cannot shake this slide I am in, I have been traveling a lot late and I have such a hard time when I cannot plan my meals.

    No changes in w eight yet! (sorry this is so late!) But yesterday I became a licensed zumba instructor, so did zumba for nearly 7 hours. My body is beat, and my muscles need a day or so to hardcore rest. But I will stay under my calories and definitely drink the 8 glasses of water everyday! And as soon as I am feeling stronger, I will for sure do hard work outs 5 days in a row!

    Ahhh, the months almost a third over already!

    WOW!!!!! that's like a week or 2 of exercise in 1 day...you are amazing!!!!!

    A high school aquaintance asked me to post new pictures since I lost almost 50 pounds... I don't have a photo from my highest weight but here's the best body shot I have and I weighed around 240 at the time the final shot is from today... This dress was part of the reason I got on track.... I wore it at my highest weight with SPANX for an hour and I couldn't breath and thought I was going to pass out. the dress was pulled sooooo tight I'm surprised I was even able to zip it that day. Today the dress is baggy in the chest and then falls straight down and really doesn't touch my body again.

    So awesome and inspirational!!!!! Congrats to you!!!!

    Well, I only lost 0.6lbs last week. But.....I'm not going to get down about that because I joined a gym last week, my eating was right on the money...lots of water...met all my goals I set, and my muscles are extremely sore today from the workouts so I know I am temporarily retaining water to repair my muscles. Plus... the best news of all---just this week alone...total body I lost 5 inches!!! And 17 inches total body in the last 4 weeks!! So what the heck have I got to complain about??? Not a damn thing! Have a great week everyone!!

    So so great!!!!! No one knows your weight, but they can tell by your clothes and apprearance that you are losing weight so I think that's what's more motivating!!!

    I know how that is! I now keep nutritional info for all the restuarant I would normally eat at in my smart phone so I can make the best decisions possible...and a key phrase is SPECIAL ORDER... for preakfast I have special ordered a banana and slice of country ham. The waitress thought I was nuts since it was a country cooking breakfast where pancakes and grits cooked with tons of butter is always on the menu!

    Every day is new day so just do the best you can until life settles down a little

    I'm down 2.2lbs this week! Already posted it on the spreadsheet for ya Shalimarmandy :)

    Had one bad day eating... even went to McDonald's :O !! but maybe I should just call it one of these spike days I keep hearing about and not feel so damn guilty because it did not seem to do any harm on the scale at all :) Was afraid for half of the next day because I felt myself still craving some of those not so good foods from the day before, but pulled it back together quickly instead of going totally off the rails. That's a small victory in itself considering past experience.... :)

    I think there has only been one day this month where I have missed my water goals....some days I almost double it :)

    Gym has remained consistent have not missed more than 2 days in one week yet, and if I have let myself miss two one was always on a Tuesday where I walk dogs for two hours anyways so still got in my exercise.....dare I say I am becoming addicted to the gym????? OMG!!! Tonight I had my first ever workout with a personal trainer. I thought I might die during the (felt like) 12 million mountain climbers she made me do!! But it was awesome to have someone pushing me beyond what I thought my limits were. Learned a few things and excited to keep going!

    So, I may or may not make my 10lb goal this month....time will tell....however, regardless, I would call this month a success. Thanks to all of you for your continued support and you all have mine in return! Whatever our collective goals may be...we will all get there together :)

    Here's to a great finish for October !! Let's go get it this week!!!
