Hi there bethanyhadden81. I am a little older than you and I am on my last 7-9lbs but I can relate to your journey. I started in 2009 at about 215-220lbs and over the years have whittled it down to about 184lbs. It has taken FOREVER but I am doing it at a pace that is doable for me. I have stumbled and fallen many times…

You totally sound like my man to a tee for realz. I truly commend you for even attempting to try and exercise and eat right because I know you pretty much have like negative 2 hours ME time. Being pulled in so many directions at once is exhausting and depressing isn't it. :devil: LOL I smirk but it's the truth. I as his…

Evening peeps, I lost my TOM weight however I am back to where I was on April 11th (4 weeks ago). :grumble: However, I am really looking forward to these next few weeks. I just finished my online class so my evenings and weekends will be more freed up to focus on these last 7-9lbs. I spent 2 hours this evening cleaning off…

Thanks for posting this Dani!! :drinker: I will be combining Sunday and Monday's exercise since I was not able to get started yesterday. Always an adventure here oh and I have my final opening up today. O.o Jo

I have managed to squeeze in about a mile these past two days. Manning the ship solo since Thursday so "ME" time has been a little scarce. Mid-week next week will be better as I will be done with school and my man will be back in town. Looking forward to the no school as that will free up some evenings for me. :happy: Good…

Nice work Dani!! :drinker:

I am up a few pounds this week (thanks TOM). I'll log it in and move on. I am doing good so we'll see what next week reflects. Jo

Ugh you had to mention the dreaded b word!! The s word makes me cringe a bit too.:sad: lol I like the idea of working it out for Sun - Sat. Dani I am totally down with you running with this one girlie. :happy: I listed a few more we can add for the month - planks, calf raises, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, leg raises.…

Awesome!! So stoked and the weather is getting better each week! Jo

I went to the nutritionist again today so I will go through my handouts and post some info in the next couple of days. Grains, sweet veggies, and circle of life is the focus. Oh and Dani I tried the kale steamed with coconut oil and a bit of garlic then sprinkled some red wine vinegar prior to serving. It was pretty good.…

FYI - I made this challenge a sticky since this one will lead us through June. I want it front and center for us for easy access. :0) Jo

Already done Dani! I posted the May miles thread a few minutes ago. I was sooooo close to meeting my goal for this month. These last few rainy days did it for me. I will for sure meet it in May. See you next month. :wink: xo, Jo

Alright so I have the May miles spreadsheet completed and will post it shortly. As for the daily exercise challenges Dani, I am down for that. We just need to decide how we are going to post, whether it's a weekly thread with a list of strength training exercises - I say we can go with or without dumbbells or kettlebells…

Redefine simply means - give new meaning to. I believe as humans we all go through several redefining phases in our lives. I think our 30's are such a monumental phase as most of us are coming into our own - establishing a firm career, getting married (or divorced), starting families; you know, growing up. :wink: These…

A big part of my success thus far is having a good support system and things to keep me motivated. I love having the company. :0) Jo

I just logged in my walks for today and happen to notice all of our remaining miles for the month and I squealed with excitement. We are totally so close to our goals! I am really proud of us ladies for sticking it out this month and warming our bodies up for some new challenges. :wink: Let me know if you would like me to…

We have a few challenges going on at the moment if you care to join us. Good luck on your journey!! :drinker: xo, Jo

Turning 36 last year was not so bad (I'll be 37 come June) however from 30 to about 34 I was feeling pretty out of my element. For a woman I think the late 20's, early 30's can be rough but now that I am on the other side of mid 30's I am feeling pretty confident in myself. Jo

What is Elemental Kingdoms? Is it similar to like Kingdoms of Camelot or Hobbit (for Droid)? Jo

I try to stay out of game chats since those said jerks can be brutal and they ALWAYS seem to make you stoop down to their level. lol

Hi peeps! As noted in the weigh in thread, things have been a bit hectic at mi casa since Thursday. I will add in my little bit of walking from this weekend and will finish strong. I am so close to meeting April's goal that it has me motivated to get er dun!! hee hee We got three days to wrap this challenge up, we got…

Hi peeps! :smile: Between my dog poisoning herself with an insane amount of chocolate and dealing with my youngest having a stomach bug (which ultimately I caught a touch of) Thursday - Friday I did not weigh myself this past week. I spent most of the weekend working on the yard and burned an enormous amount of cals so I…

Below is the link to the first doc - it's called Glorious Greens. My nutritionist asked me to try something on the list I have not tried before so I purchased Kale today, scary. :indifferent: I will continue to post links as I get new handouts, etc. I am also required to read chapters 5 and 6 of Integrative Nutrition by…

I wish I could do it in the mornings before work but my schedule is too busy and frankly I cannot get myself up in the 5 o'clock hour unless my place is on fire. Good luck Dani girl! Jo

Weigh in tomorrow babes - let's finish strong this week! Jo
