  • Morning ladies! :flowerforyou: (Almost afternoon I suppose) Yesterday's workout took me to 8 days out of the 17. I did a step aerobics class for an hour and then did some ab work. Tonight I think I'm going to try another ZUMBA class. I've only taken 2 different classes before but it's been a while and I'm just not…

  • 1. I broke my tailbone on a 'date' in HS....at a Huddle House....at 2 am....:noway: because my brothers were there and wanted to dance to whatever song was on the Juke Box. While trying to get away from their horrendous dancing, I tripped over one's foot and fell FLAT on my butt! :sad: VERY painful! 2. I used to quad…

  • :flowerforyou: Thanks for such a great greeting this morning Theresa!! Happy Friday to you too! :bigsmile: Megan - No worries dear...bad news makes us all do silly things. Just take it one step at a time, one breath at a time, and one MEAL at a time. You can do it :drinker: and we all have our moments of indiscretion!…
  • Ohh I'll take the green one in the Brandy Glass! Looks like a Midori Sour! YUMM! haha HAPPY FRIDAY!:drinker:
  • Just an idea if the stability ball isn't available. From singing in choir for many years - it's best to sit on the edge of the chair with one foot forward and the other slightly tucked under you, or both feet shoulder width apart. I know this wont work for everything, but it may help if you try to sit as far forward in a…
  • The day has finally come - I'm in the 230s!!!!! :bigsmile: :blushing: :drinker: :bigsmile: It wasn't even 239.9 or 239.8 - but 239.4!!!

  • WAY TO GO THERESA!!! :flowerforyou: You get it girl! Yesterday wasn't as bad as it could have been, but it wasn't as good either. Went to dinner at my dad's before going to see TOPOL in Fiddler on the Roof (It was a GREAT performance!!!). Needless to say, dad cooked a lot of yummy homemade stuff and made me a HUGE plate! I…
  • :flowerforyou: Good morning ladies! :flowerforyou: Had a pretty intense workout last night and brought me to day 5 of 17. I did a step areobics class for about 55 minutes then did upper body weights. 2 sets for each exercise and I increased some of the weights. :drinker: :bigsmile: I'm definitely feeling it today,…

  • :drinker: Doing a great job ladies!!! Keep up the wonderful work! Well, my day started off needing a SERIOUS pick me up. Was out WAY too late last night so I ended up not being prepared for meals today. :grumble: My own fault - C'est la vie. Wasn't too great a breakfast - as I needed strong coffee (but I like it with…
  • No sure if you have a problem with sodium - but I know that I certainly do. I've learned to stay away from cheeses (which makes me so sad because I love it :heart: !!) such as Feta, Cheddar, etc. Even the reduced-fat Feta was LOADED with Sodium. :sad: BUT, I just found the Alouette brand spreadable cheese in Sundried…

  • :frown: :grumble: :angry: OOPS! So after work I went to the hospital to visit and when I got home after 7pm, I was starving and my muscles are VERY sore from my lower body workout last night. I also had to chat with a GF for a looooong time because she's dealing with some emotional stuff right now and needed me. By the…
  • Oh music...my weakness. Seems odd, but sometimes classical music is fun to work out to, but mainly for me because I just practice arias and such while on the elliptical. And I know it can be an aquired taste! :noway: :laugh: ANYWAY...I generally like to listen to rock/alternative music. Lately I've been listening to a rock…
  • :drinker: What's everyone's plan for Exercise today? :drinker: Day 2 of 17 Exercise Days: Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD - as much as possible as I've not opened it yet! ~If that doesn't satisfy my workout needs for tonight, then I'll probably do some weights at the house along with Tae Bo and my stair stepper. :bigsmile:…
  • Tahmed - Same thing happened to me. I started my journey in October 2008 but by mid November I had lost about 8lbs and completely lost my motivation as well. I blamed it on being out of town and the holidays that were soon to come. I'd have a really good week of like a 3# loss, then gain it back the next two weeks. My best…
  • Depending on what I need to get done in the evenings - I'll do some of the following: -GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! If I'm just hanging out at the house, I know i'll snack out of boredom...wasting valuable calories on food I don't even need. So, I'll end up meeting a friend at Barnes and Noble, Read a book outside, go play with…
