Sizzlin summer slimdown 4-24-09

Great job on the elliptical Smadag!

Didn't make it to the gym, but did manage to do some big time yard work, and I got to be outside rather in the gym:bigsmile:

I haven't had a lot of time to look at the Couch to 5K, but I do remember reading somthing a while back. You do not need to pay the $19.95. Somewhere out there is a free version.

Have a great day ladies. And enjoy the weekend. The weather is finally supposed to break here, and they are saying it might hit 80!!!

:flowerforyou: Morning ladies! :flowerforyou: It's Fabulous Friday!! (THANK GOODNESS!)

Well I hit the gym again last night which brings me up to 6/30 days of exercise. And even though I ate out for lunch yesterday - I still stayed under my calories with my exercise cals figured in! LOL

Anyway...wont be hitting the gym tonight as my brother gradutes from college this afternoon, then it's family dinner, and my best friend is passing through tonight so we'll get to be giddy girls and catch up on life. I haven't seen her since the end of January! Can't wait for her to see how much my body has changed since then! :blushing:

Speaking of changes - I changed my AV again because I'll be wearing the same dress today for the graduation. I'm sure we'll be taking lots of photos and I hope to get a couple good ones to post next to this one, taken almost exactly a year ago. (I can't believe it's been a year since my month in Italy and my own college graduation. Wow - time surely flies by quickly!! :noway:)

Alrighty ladies, back to work....:grumble: Is it 12:45 yet?? I'm excited to get off work early! And looking forward to a nice relaxing and productive weekend. Supposed to be SUNNY, 87 degrees, and very low humidity this weekend. Ahhh, I love Florida!

happy fricken' friday!!

i've had a good week foodwise, but not excellent w/ exercise. i'm planning on getting a good one in tonight, and tomorrow...before i go back down to indiana sunday and monday. not sure if my mac will pick up internet so you may or may not be hearing from me :huh:

i'm hoping to make good choices while i'm gone (hopefully the nerves don't take over and down some fast food! :embarassed: ) wish me luck w/ my monday interview!!

enjoy the weekend girls! the weather here is supposed to be gorgeous!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Toi toi toi (It's a music 'good luck' saying!) on your interview and trip!! :flowerforyou: You'll be fabulous - because you already are! :happy:



Oh yeah, I forgot to mention in my last post that I'm down 1 lb this week. :bigsmile: That was quite surprising and I'm VERY happy it wasn't a gain! I'm only down 1.4lbs for this challenge, but I FULLY intend on kicking up my exercise and making MUCH healthier food choices in the coming weeks. I'm taking this challenge all the way to June 5th so I can stay motivated for my best friend's wedding!

THANKS! i'm super excited :bigsmile: :bigsmile: , but a tad nervous....:ohwell:

and i also forgot to mention that i've done 8/30 for exercise, but am still only down 1 lb for the challenge. but not giving up!

Yay for not giving up! And I think you've gotten in the most exercise days that I've seen so far! I'm only at 6...so no worries! :bigsmile: Nerves are good sometimes - keeps ya on your toes. Deep breaths and confidence that you CAN DO IT! :flowerforyou:

I am slow posting this morning...been busy. I finished day 7/30 - today will be day 8....yesterday I went to the track and walked/jogged - it was a beautiful 80 breezey day - got a tad pink on my shoulders - it was amazing to enjoy the fresh air! Probably going to do the same thing today since it's so nice outside. Tomorrow afternoon I'll go to the gym and Sunday will be a day off----or so I say....

scale not moving for me either - but that means it's not going up either....so that's good.

Hi Ladies and Happy Friday :flowerforyou:

Been busy so thanks for keeping us going!!! :drinker:

My week has been good and ready to enjoy the nice weather this weekend!!!

Have a great one everybody and see you all on Monday...:flowerforyou:

I've done ok this week. My calories have kind of been all over the bored, and I am SO darn tired today. Today is a day I could actually go to the gym, and i'm going to try, but I think I might go home and sleep after work! Keep up the good work ladies. Stay positive!!! We can do this!!!

could tired be from not eating the right foods??? We've got to feed our bodies ladies.

I find when I eat junk I feel like it too.....

shannah - sorry I didn't say it sooner - good luck - you'll do great!

T glad to see you!!!

PSM those outdoor games sound really fun!

Yes and no. I know that is probably part of it, but yesterday I was up at 5am and wasn't able to go to bed til 11:00pm. I think thats part of it too.

hiya guys! sorry i don't post very often, it's been a stressful time lately, lotsa trouble in the family... i haven't fallen off the wagon or anything (don't think there's anything in the world that will ever make that happen!:happy:), just not too excited in general... on the other hand, i wish this was just a single thread... i am in Europe so lotsa hours ahead, when i come to MFP in the morning the daily thread isn't started and there is generally nothing going on so I am so bored but nothing to do here... then later in the day i forget to search for the thread and that's how i miss to post all the time... :grumble: can u make it weekly instead of daily, this way i think more people will be posting when they see it bumped up in their "my topics"

on a happier note i am doing pretty good on the SSS challenge and about 1/3rd lost to my goal of losing 16 pounds, so I have good hope I will make it by the 22nd next month :happy: i won't update the ticker before Wednesday, which is my official weigh-in day... I am guilty enough of stepping too much on the scale, so at least trying to stick to updating it once a week on MFP... ugh!

would anyone be against changing to one thread that just continues each day rather than starting a new one? I know when you are gone for a day or so its hard to go back and see what's been going on....


I am all for one thread til the end of the challenge-whatcha' think??
