Happy Friday! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. My short day yesterday turned in to a long day and as a result it turned into a rest day. I have a 3 day weekend and I can't wait to enjoy it after working for 100 hours in 7 days straight :happy: I even got my rear out of bed this morning and went for a 15 minute run…

bump- thanks:)

Good morning!:flowerforyou: I weighed myself today and those lbs are still not moving. I'm going to take it in stride- realizing I've been dieting for 7 weeks so losing 8 lbs is still ahead of the gain- still a bit frustrated because "11" sounds better than "8"! :grumble: Do you think it's muscle or water weight? Hope you…

Boca Burgers Natural Peanut butter on salt free rice cakes Krinkle Stix guiltfree french fries (hehe) Pretzel Crisps Popcorn Those are my go to- good luck!:drinker:

Hello! Just checking in before I hit the hay- I did 10 minutes of circuit training (10 minute solutions boot camp) and then cardio party- burned off my extra 400 calories:smile: Jules- I heard that couch to 5k is amazing! let me know how you like it! I decided next week (on Monday) I'm going to start the advanced month of…

Hi Everyone- and welcome all the newcomers!:wink: Had a crazy day at work, didn't get to eat lunch. I wound up eating quite a bit when I got home so I need to work off those extra 400 calories tonight. I normally don't like working out so late, but I didn't have a choice today. Thanks for the suggestions about trying to…

Good morning everyone- Didn't sleep well so waking up for a run was out of the questions since I have to work for at least 10 hours today. I will do 20 TJ or go for a run when I come home though. I weighed myself this morning and I gained 3 lbs:sad: I didn't work out or watch my calories on Sunday- do you think this is…

Happy Monday Everyone:smile: It was too hot for me this morning to run, I'm going to try to wake up earlier tomorrow and try again. Instead I did my Hot Body Boot Camp video (10 minute cardio, 10 minute weight circuit training) and then TurboAbs. I wanted to come home and run but I got stuck at work until late again.…

Hi Everyone- Sounds like we all had a great day! I'll have to try CE in the future when I'm more fit. Don't worry spiralgirl you're not alone. Went for a stroll this evening after work. Angel have fun with your weight:wink: Have a happy night! ~Erica

Good morning and happy Saturday:smile: Yesterday my shoulder was a bit sore and I was not in a good mood after work. Really didn't have the energy or motivation to work out :grumble: I had a great idea- I decided to celebrate! I got my first paycheck, I survived my first month of work and I've kept 10 lbs off I would…

Hi Everyone- Thanks for the words of support and encouragement:flowerforyou: I was so happy doing 20 min TJ last night, but my shoulder is a little sore today. I think I may wait a few more days before I try again. It really was the best 20 minutes of my day- is that good or bad? I'm going to try to walk/run tonight. My…

Hi Everyone, I had a minor meltdown about work today- they didn't see- did it in the bathroom:explode: I think the stress from work has been getting to me because of my injury- I can't sweat out their *kitten* (sorry for the swear word!) Today I walked for 20 minutes and now I'm going to do 20 minute TJ. I'm going to go…

Hi Everyone! I walked 4 miles today and biked on a stationary bike for 30 minutes, feels good to start being active again:smile: Wish I didn't have to work tomorrow. Hope you all had a healthy day!:drinker: ~Erica

thanks for posting all that information!

Hi Everyone! Sounds like you all have had a busy few days:laugh: Casey and FitzFour I hope you're feeling better! The last two days I have worked about 30 hours- yesterday before work my shoulder was almost completely better and then I mopped the floors because one of the nurses is pregnant and didn't feel well. I was all…

Hi Everyone! My shoulder is finally starting to feel better, I'm going to try to do TJ 20 min tomorrow after work. Since my injury I've gained about 2 lbs:grumble: I'm hoping to burn it right off as soon as I can really get moving again. Casey- hope you're feeling better. Have a great night everyone! ~Erica

Hi All- Happy Saturday! My shoulder/neck is giving me a lot of problems. I wasn't able to work out at all yesterday because of that and the added stress from using it at work.:grumble: Today I am going to try to do some thigh master work this morning before I go to work. I went a bit over on calories yesterday- by 200:mad:…

Hey Megan- Be careful not to have too much soy protein. Soy contains A LOT of estrogen--> which studies have shown can cause breast cancer. Sloan Kettering recommends no more than 1 cup a day of soy milk for the average adult woman. Hope this helps! ~Erica

Hi Everyone- Sounds like we all had a great day yesterday:smile: Yesterday I did CardioParty and went for a stroll with my husband for an hour. Stayed under sodium for the first time:) I pulled something in my right shoulder/neck so I think today maybe a rest day as well. Didn't sleep well because I kept rolling the wrong…

Hi Everyone, Yesterday I came home from work, put on my workout clothes and passed out :grumble: I guess it just became my rest day. Unfortunately I had eaten about 300 extra calories because I anticipated on working out. I think it's OK because I listed I have a sedentary lifestyle and yesterday I was running around for…

thanks for posting this- sounds awesome!:bigsmile: google the "hungry girl" and it'll bring up the website!

What great motivation:drinker:

Hi Everyone, Today went OK- we went out for lunch and I am not quite sure what I ate from the mediterrian buffet--> but I only had about 1/2 plate and I didn't get dessert. Couldn't avoid it because talked with all of the other doctors at lunch- we came up with a plan to make sure we can work together effectively. It just…

Hi Everyone, Sounds like we had a productive Monday:bigsmile: Today I had a long talk with the head doctor at my clinic and I think things will start to go better now. The higher ups from corporate put their foot down hard because they don't want me to walk out. I've decided to give it about a month and if it doesn't meet…

Hi Everyone! Sounds like we should end the month with a bang! :smile: Yesterday evening after our miserable office party I managed to do 40 minutes of Power Yoga to center myself. I'm going to try to do Yoga more often to help me stay centered from work. This morning I woke up and did 20 minute TJ. Tonight I'm going to try…

Way to go! Thanks for being a great inspiration to us all!:drinker:

I can't even image how difficult it is for you right now. It's ok that you got off track, now just come back and make your son proud!:flowerforyou: I recommend finding a message board group to keep yourself accountable for your actions. For me, I joined a group that exercises in a similar way. Accounting to them everyday…

Happy Sunday Everyone! Last night I got in a 4 mile walk on top of Cardio Party and Ab Jam. Felt great to be so active and stay within my calories. :smile: Having a hard time staying in my sugar and sodium calories- any suggestions? Having 1 apple and 1 kiwi basically puts me over for the day in sugar! Today I am going to…

Try yoga and toning band workouts. Also make sure you stretch often! You can do it!:smile:

Congrats on your weight loss:drinker: I'm sorry about the coat though, maybe you can find the same one in a smaller size on ebay! And maybe your boyfriend will buy it for you!:wink:
