Amy's Shred report Day 2 - I got a little further today! :bigsmile: Still didn't finish circuit 1, but I'm getting closer! I'm worn out! I think every muscle in my body is tired and sore. I went over my cals today by 236, but I didn't have as much sodium today as yesterday. I was over by 800 yesterday and only 400 today.…

Pam - Whoo hoo!!! You go girl!! You're doing great!:flowerforyou:

Stacey - That's a great idea to take digi pics of kids artwork. I have a little artist in my family and she want to keep EVERYTHING! I've had to throw away so many pics (when she wasn't watching & luckily hasn't missed them) it's unreal! I have taken pics of some things, but I need to do that with a lot more of them. And I…

Good morning! Kristin - Kadence is beautiful!!!! I am so excited! I know I'm not supposed to weigh myself every day, but I can't help myself. I try not to let what it tells me mid week get me down, it's what it says on Tuesday mornings that really counts. But I weighed in at 156.3 this morning! I'm not updating any MFP…

Good morning! I'm so excited because I weighed in this morning at 156.3! I haven't logged it here because my normal weigh-in day is Tuesday. I know I'm not supposed to weigh myself every day, but it's hard not too. I try not to let it get me down if it weighs me heavier one day, as long as it's lower on Tuesday than it was…

Whew!! I found 30 Day Shred on Netflix. Thought I'd check it out before buying another exercise DVD. It looks like it might be better for me right now than the Banish Fat Boost Metabolism since it has 3 levels. I tried it tonight. I am sad to say that I am so completely out of shape that I couldn't get through most of…

Cathy & Lauryn - I hope your injuries get better soon! :flowerforyou:

Trish - Ugh! Good luck with your bathroom! Welcome Mel! This is a wonderful group of ladies who really understand how hard it can be to manage a healthy lifestyle while raising a family. Katie - I can relate to the older dog problem. I have a 13 yr 2 month old Great Pyrenees with horrible arthritis in her back right hip.…

Whoo hoo!!! I got my walking in, was only 102 cals over, and when I clicked the finished logging button, it told me if every day were like today, I'd weigh 153.2 lbs in 5 weeks! 153 lbs is actually my goal for the next 5 weeks, so this shows me what I need to do to get there. Although, I'd prefer lower sodium each day than…

Wow! Slow day for posting. Katie, how did you get the pics in your post? I tried to do that once and couldn't get it to work.

Hello ladies! Sorry I was MIA the last 4 days. It was a beautiful and warmer weekend, so we were out enjoying it! :happy: I'm starting to get the redecorating bug myself. I love the new bathrooms ladies!! Since we replaced the floor in the living room, I've been ready to tackle other things. The first one (after dh changes…

Hello! I didn't make my goals yesterday because I just didn't have time. I was afraid that would happen. Until I can figure out how to fit in exercise on Wednesdays, I may need to use it as a rest day each week. At least I ate well! I was only over by about 200 cals! :happy: What I didn't do yesterday, I seem to be making…

Hello Sixers! I didn't make my goals yesterday because I just didn't have time. I was afraid that would happen. Until I can figure out how to squeeze in exercise on Wednesdays, I may need to use that as a rest day each week. At least I ate well! I was only over by about 200 cals! :happy: What I didn't do yesterday, I seem…

Whoo hoo!!!!! I did it!!!! I made my goals yesterday. Well, OK, I was a little short on the walking (1.8 miles instead of 2) and short on my water (8 cups instead of 9), but I did my exercise dvd warm up, circuit 1 and started circuit 3. Circuit 2 is just way too hard right now, so I passed it for the moment. I didn't get…

Hello! I didn't quite make my exercise goals yesterday. I was helping Tony move an old extremely heavy nonworking tv in our garage so he could fix the breaks on the truck. The side I was trying to lift slipped and hit right above my kneecap. I've got a beautiful and tender bruise and a knot there now. Tony said I shouldn't…

Good morning! I had a good weekend family wise, but not health wise. The kids had their first piano recital yesterday afternoon. If it weren't for the kindness and good heart of their teacher to give us a major discount, I couldn't afford to give them piano lessons. She sees how much they love music. Will has been playing…

Good morning! Well, they're calling for more snow tomorrow night! :noway: I'm SOOOO ready for Spring!!!! Even with the amount of snow we've had this season, living most of my life in the Piedmont of NC (especially down here closer to Charlotte), I still have this "I'll believe it when I see it" attitude towards snow…

Val - Have you tried Crystal Light? They have several different flavors you can mix in with your water. My personal favorite is the raspberry green tea. Glad to hear your youngest is doing better with the rice cereal. :smile:

Hello! I think my new approach to weight loss & fitness is actually working! I've been concentrating on my exercise and water intake to increase my energy level. It's been a week now, and I'm starting to notice how much better I'm feeling. I have more energy and am more alert than I used to be. I'm getting up to the point…

Hello! I didn't make my goals yesterday. I got my walking in, but I only drank 7 cups of water. Doing better today. I've had 8 cups of water, and I walked 2 miles today. Can't wait for my muscles to catch up with my willpower! :laugh: My legs are stiff! Doing a little better each day though. :smile: I think my new approach…

Val - lol Your taco salads sound very similar to mine! I quite often use boca ground instead of ground beef. But I put the meat or meat substitute over tostitos, shredded cheddar, salsa and a little sour cream. Since the kids are doing better about trying veggies, I need to start adding some sort of lettuce to them. We do…

I made my goals again today! I'm so excited! This makes 6 days in a row. I think that may be a record for me. :laugh: Ended up walking 2.2 miles this afternoon, I just finished my 9th cup of water, and I did the warm-up section of my DVD. I even logged my breakfast. Unfortunately, that's all the food Iogged, but that's a…

Great job on the workout, Cathy! I got a 1.4 mile walk picking up the kids today. Looks like I'll be getting a good walk in every day this week since the breaks are going on my truck. DH said the last time they were changed was right after we got married, which was 11 years ago, so it's time. It's safe enough for me to get…

Melissa, don't feel too discouraged about the scale. TOM just around the corner is more than likely the culprit. Most women can normally gain 2-5 lbs just before TOM. This is usually due to water retention. Just keep drinking more water, and I'm sure you'll see a significant loss at the end of TOM, if not sooner!…

Busy - Welcome! I understand the problem with food left on the plates too. It's getting to be less of a problem as they're getting older (my son can out-eat me now at 7!). Wow! Your kids must be really close in age! I only have 2 children (son 7 & daughter 6) who are 16 months apart. As hard as my daughter is to handle at…

I'm not sure which is worse, putting wallpaper up or taking it down. We wallpapered one small room in our old house with MIL's help (and lots of it!). Never again! I ended up getting tired of the wallpaper after a while anyway. Good luck!! :flowerforyou:
