Hey all... It's been VERY busy, and things have been super-stressful this morning... I'm going to the gym for a class later on today and then I have volleyball tonight. I hope it'll relieve some of this stress and make weigh-in a HAPPY moment. Hope all are doing well!

Hey all... I decided to wear my heart rate monitor today while bumping the volleyball around with my husband... I had no clue how many calories I could burn! Over 500!!! I wish I wore it yesterday, because we passed the ball around once in the early afternoon and once in the early evening, so there's no telling how many I…

Hey all... I bumped around a volleyball today with my husband and now I'm getting ready to work out with him... It's almost 10:00 here, and we're doing our P90X workout late tonight. Drank more than my quota of water, and am feeling full(ugh) because of it! Hope everyone had a great day!

Since a lot of us are still keeping up with our water intake, how about we try to continue on with it and just add another challenge on top of it? Maybe one that has to do with minutes exercised per week, or not eating anything after a certain time at night? Fruit and veggie quota per day? Just a couple suggestions!

Great job everyone!!! Down one pound... I'll post more later!

You're not crazy at all... And good luck with your daughter! I cried my head off last year... And now my youngest is in kindergarten, and my oldest is in 4th grade! I'm kid free all day, and it's been really hard! I got done with volleyball, and then I managed to drink enough water to make me feel like a water cistern... I…

The sugar demon? That's a great first for me! I've never heard it that way, but it's very fitting!:laugh: As long as you were under your calories, I think you should be okay. Just keep in mind that where your calories consistently come from will effect you in the long run-as long as it's not a habit, you should be okay!…

Hee-hee... Way too cute of a post to say no! I'm pretty sure we're an open thread and anyone can join! Went swimming this morning, and now I'm off to lunch with my mom! We don't get to do it very often... Salad bar for me! I have kickboxing and 2 hours of volleyball tonight, so I'm really looking forward to a yummy dinner…

I'm still awake! It's only 8:17 here in Alaska...:wink:

Way to go, tammie! I finished with my workout... And burned over 600 calories! Definitely a "good day" for me! So far I'm WELL within my calorie limits, and am half way there with my water quota!

Yay! I'm so glad to see you on here, sudzie!!! I started off the day with a yummy breakfast, now off to work out. Hope everyone has a great morning!

I'm heading off to the gym for another class... I managed to make it to my water quota, but I know that I'll be drinking more before my day is over! I made a chicken tamale casserole from Cooking Light in advance, so all I have to do when I get home is be a BUM!:wink:

Good morning-or should I say afternoon?- everybody! I went to the gym today and took a kickboxing class... I burned 637 calories!!! I have a new favorite for breakfast, too... Organic granola cereal, mixed with yogurt and green grapes! Yummy and very filling... I drank almost half of my water already, but have a feeling…

It really helps if you dip your hands in water before touching the rice; it keeps it from sticking to your fingers when trying to spread the rice out. As for what I put in them... I do not do anything raw! I'm too much of a chicken to try! I make California rolls or Alaska rolls(I live in Alaska). Pretty much for the…

Good morning, all... I got up at 4:00 this morning to make sushi for my husband to take in to work... :sick: Obviously, I'm not functioning very well right now!:laugh: I'm making it my goal to run later today, and get some laughs by doing a cardio video with my daughters... They always make things interesting!

Once a month is MUCH more manageable than once a week!!! I second that suggestion...

I almost forgot... I DO think we should keep the thread the same... Finding the new thread every week was kind of a pain when we did this before!!!

Christine-I am still doing P90X, but I also added some Couch 2 5K, volleyball, and classes at the gym... Mainly to add more cardio to my workouts. As for your husband ordering P90X-I'm not sure if I would order it when I had free access at the gym on post. It's worth the money to me, because I can do my workouts at home,…

I'm so glad to see you back, Christine!!! We missed you! I wanted to bookmark this thread-and I'm joining up, too!!! My kids started school; it's the first time BOTH have been in full-time, so I have no reason to fail at losing the rest of my weight! I'd like to drop a total of 30 pounds by Thanksgiving... Counting…

Good evening, all!!! I went to a kickboxing class this morning, step class this evening, and maybe I'll fit in P90X tonight if I can finish painting the rest of my house later on before it gets too late!!! Good to hear your toe is getting better, Ari!

Hey all! I've been catching up on the thread, and just wanted to pop in and say hi! Things have been really busy lately, but I'm still working out and trying to keep on track! Hope everyone is doing well...

Hello all! I'm stuck at the same, but feeling really good right now... As for a strength training challenge, how about doing lunges and squats twice this week, and then doing push-ups, on knees, twice this week? We could shoot for 3 sets of 12 of each exercise... Or as many as possible... Just throwing it out…

I feel like such a bum for not getting on here more often!!! I hope everyone is doing well today-it's been pretty crazy over here lately... Alaskan summers are just so short, and we crazy people try to cram as much as we possibly can in just 3-4 months! I'm off to do a step aerobics class with my mom... Pretty…

Sorry I have been MIA... I finished taking my antibiotics, and then broke out in hives!!! I don't know if the "old regulars" remember, but my daughter had a really bad reaction a few months ago... I guess it was my turn! I've been itching like crazy, and am covered with calamine lotion... I didn't lose anything, but had a…

Today was my 29th birthday!!! I am sooo happy to say that I was able to go to my eldest daughter's very first dance recital... She ROCKED! I was approached by the dance studio's owner, and she wants Shaylynn to be in her Pre-Company, the younger kid's group that goes around and competes in state-wide competitions, and also…

Good morning, everyone! Yesteday I braved out Couch 2 5K for the first time since getting really, really sick. I felt sooooo good, and pushed myself pretty hard. I was so happy because I felt like I could have done it over again another 2 times. Then, I looked to the side of the treadmill's monitor, and realized that I had…

Kaycee-there's a bike path that runs behind our high school and ends up behind the elementary school... It's pretty secluded, other than the people who might get it into their heads to go for a run... I was thinking about taking my little one in a jogging stroller and letting my older daughter ride her bike, and trying out…

Whoooo-hooooo!!! Go, Kaycee, go!!! I know it feels soooo good to be able to do more than a minute at a time... It makes you feel like you can start running marathons, right?!!:bigsmile: I need to start getting back on the C25K again-since I got sick, I quit, and need to start over. The weather is beautiful here, and I…

I would never have thought of adding spinach to a fruit smoothie!!! Can you taste the spinach at all? It actually sounded yummy! I have had only one piece of fruit today so far-an apple. I also had some baby carrots. But I bought a watermelon and some nectarines today, and am having some later. We have some cherries in the…

Hey all! I maintained again this week, but I am happy, because it's been a crazy one for me! I managed to go to step class and play racquetball with my husband, and then tried to do P90X with him later on in the evening... My body just crashed on me. I am still on antibiotics, and am trying to kick this junk out of my…
