Am I the only one here talking about food! You know we all love it too much or else we would not be here! :tongue: How many calories do you allot yourself for the day?? I have mine set at 1800.

Today is a run day for me C25K week 7 day 1! Boy though am I ever sore from my workout yesterday!! Definitely feeling my bum bum after doing the Bum Bum workout yesterday!

Well discovered either I don't like perch or this particular brand of frozen is not good... nothing like looking forward to dinner and then not even wanting it.

Was not a great food weekend but I have come a long way with making better choices, watching portions, etc... and no food binging in a while... Progress! Today loading up on fresh fruits and veges! I tend to not get as many veges in as a should... I don't know what, I do like them... but when I am hungry, vegetables don't…

Today starts my lower body transformation! Brazil Butt Lift!!! Bum Bum is the first workout... Going to try and do some upper body exercises too..

Today is a bit of a rest day meaning no structured workout... but planning on taking the dog for a good hike and maybe some stretching.

Today is Week 6 Day 3 of C25K plus dog walk, minimal stretching before after run... Working a 9 hour shift today but that just involves sitting on my *kitten*! :ohwell:

TGIF! Today is my last Jillian Ripped in 30 workout!!! My 30 days took about 45 or so as I alternated it with running days! Looking forward to starting something new. Also will be getting in my mile or so dog walk! It does not really count towards exercise but I am doing the winter to summer clothes transition and getting…

Good luck with quitting smoking! You can do it... being a former smoker, I will tell you that you will feel so much better!!!

Good luck on your half!!! What is the name of your half?? I hope to be able to run halves again but not sure if my knee will cooperate... just hoping to get through a 5K at this point and will see in 2 weeks how that goes!

Number of things you can do... planks, hold for duration of one commercial, rest next commercial do another one... triceps dips off edge of couch, squats, lunges, jumping jacks...

Today is a run day for me.... Week 6 Day 2 of C25K... Since I have to go into the office for a bit (normally work at home), I am going to go run by the Susquehanna River! It will be a beautiful day.. Will be throwing in some planks today too and maybe some stretching!

On the more serious side, here is a sanskrit mantra I got from an email from a local yoga studio: Lokaha Samastaha Sukino Bhavantu: "May all beings everywhere be happy and free and may the thoughts, words and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all."

This is more funny than inspirational... but I love it (especially since it came from my favorite artist, Kid Rock!) "Everything in moderation including moderation!" :bigsmile:

Me too! I sit all day for work (medical transcription). I find myself slouching constantly!

Thanks for sharing your story Sierra... and if that is you in the pic, you neither fat nor ugly... you are gorgeous! We all must remember that real beauty comes from within. We must all stop calling ourselves bad names, fat, ulgy, lazy.... If you have a beautiful heart you are a beautiful person and that is what others…

Yeah Another PA person!!

I am good at the fitness part, just not so good on the food part but I am getting better at it!

Oh crap! Just realized I am the old lady here! :laugh:

Hi, I am Josie, just posted my stats/goals in the other section. I am 47, married, only 4-legged kids, live in Central PA.
