  • Its true. I am already in bed (very early for me) signed up for a new class tomorrow. And will make it come hell or high water. I just felt drained today. but tomorrow is a new day!
  • I quit kinda cold turkey (after many tries). Contrary to popular belief I actually LOST weight when I quit. I also took a month off from drinking to reduce the temptation so that might have had something to do with it. ;)
  • I have been eating on a TIGHT budget too! I make a lot of stews and veggie dishes that I freeze. I just made this awesome stew: http://www.theppk.com/2008/11/chipotle-chili-with-sweet-potatoes-and-brussel-sprouts/ BUT I added some ground Turkey that was on sale (sorry vegan recipe writer) and some zucchini/peppers that…
  • Uh, I totally cried at my bootcamp class the other week. It was so hard! And the worst part was it happened both times I went to the class last week. BUUTT.... This week I made it through tear free.

  • It's definitely not for me. I went a couple times and the last time I went I totally puked during class! If given the chance I prefer to do something with a bit more cardio intensity. But I have a few friends that swear by it. And despite the vomit fest, I did go back and finish the class and did feel good endorphin wise…
  • My only caveat would be that most gym machine calorie counters and tables of calories burned by exercise tend to over estimate how many calories you are actually burning. Do you ever wear a heart rate monitor? I think wearing it can give you a little more insight as to how much you are actually burning.
  • Parkour?!! That is freaking awesome. I have terrible balance and would probably break bones/lose teeth if I tried that!
  • I also just moved from North to South. NJ to GA. I am hoping to keep losing while I am down here. Add me as a friend if you want!
