Way to Go everyone!!!!!!

I heard on the news today, the number 3 job in demand is accounting. Top 3: Business, computer science, accounting. Now if I can just get my son to figure something out! B) The last time I was at chiro, he told me it wasn't muscular skeletal for my hip pain... but treatment for Pereformus syndrome has suggested a sports…

What are you doing with the acupuncture sessions? A friend of mine suggested I try it for my back. I have always been too afraid but always curious. :-)

Whoo HOoo! Congrats everyone! Keep on moving!!!

OMGawsh! What in the world is a black tunnel? I sometimes get so frustrated with trying to get to a "live" spin class. They always seem to be full and I can never get in! I am still a newbie to the world of spinning and self taught myself with the use of an interactive trainer on the fancy new spin bikes in the gym. They…

i didn't hit my goal weight, but I did see some progress! I learned to eat better and really pay attention to logging my foods and getting more workouts in. I'm 8 pounds away from my goal for this challenge and have many more to go after that. I learned that when I really put forth the effort the weight will come off. I…

You can do this!!!! Detox, Detox, Detox!

Good Luck on the detox!!!!

I love it! Studying while burning calories! WTG! 23,000???? YIKES! Good Job! Well I figured out that the standing runs are firing up the o' pereformus. UGH! I think I have to go back to level 3 and I'm just not real happy about it,,, but it is better than not being able to walk! I am going to go home and do body weight…

Hey everyone!!! How are we doing so far???? I did lose one pound this week. UGH, but since I gained 2 it's not really okay. i hear you on eating like the world is coming to an end! I need to really stick to my food plan! My weekends are just the hardest. I did read an article, somewhere, that said basically she allows…

Today is all about Interval Spinning! (groan) I love it once I start doing it, but I dread it all too! lol I am going to try and get to the gym in an hour, hammer it out, then get back to work. If I don't do it then it won't happen because i am supposed to meet a friend for dinner after work. I feel like blowing that off…

Hey everyone!! i have been so slammed at work it is not funny! I have been thinking about all of you! I hope everyone is getting those work outs in! I bombed last week's weigh in. *face palm* I knew my eating was full of bad choices and the scale definitely showed it. Grrrr! I'm back to it this week and I have been getting…

I feel like I have been a total eating slug this week. I have succumbed to peer pressure and have been going out to lunch rather than eating the sensible lunch I have! I am very afraid of the scale this week. Very. Afraid. I think I might just go bonkers if I have gained a pound... I am trying to get back to it today! I am…

Ha! I hear you on the 90s closet! I seriously had to go through things and do the same. It was craziness! I pulled out 2 full trash bags of my stuff, including "power" suits in periwinkle!!! Periwinkle? What was I thinking? LOL Why am I afraid of doing my angry birds strength tonight? I just know it is going to hurt. But…

Got another spin class in today! Kind of stunk since I really wanted to repeat the crazy class. lol But I am super proud to start the work week off with a workout! Seems to keep me focused for the week. Or at least I think it does. lol

Yikes! I will try to get in 3... normally after 1 I can't feel my muscles for a week! :D

I am SO over winter! We actually had snow coming down at lunch! Snow! Really? UGH! I did a crazy spin class last night... I learn a new trick... Jumps. Holy Heart Attack Batman! It was brutal... the first thing I suffered through was the 3 minutes of a standing climb. My legs were screaming at me! So needless to say, I…

Thanks! I was super excited when I saw 164 flash across the screen, but on our official weigh in day I had to log 165. *sigh* But! I saw 164 flash across the screen twice! I stepped on, saw 164, stepped off, stepped back on and saw 164. YAY! I keep telling myself go for 1 pound a week. 1 pound a week. I have been uber…

I eat 1 T of peanut butter with my apples. I never knew how good PB was until I had with an apple. lol I have never been a big believer in eating back your calories... but there are days that I am right on the cusp of it. I like to burn the calories and keep them off. It is so hard for me some weeks to clock a one pound…

Way to go everyone!!!!!! Congrats on the weight loss!

I am doing the Angry Bird Workout. LOL I love Nerd Fitness ... I basically just read his blogs, but I like the Angry Bird Workout. It is basically 4 moves. Push ups, Planks, Lunges, and squats. It is a tough work out. I am doing level 1. Some days are better than others. I'm not into the forums on the site. Too confusing…

Hey everyone! Started my Monday out with an 8:30 meeting. Ugh! We all gave the guy that called that meeting grief. lol I lost another pound! Toot Toot!! I have had brutal long days at work... I almost blew off spinning today, but I basically forced myself to do it... and I'm glad I did! Tomorrow I am going to make it a…

Hamstring injuries are the worse! I have a real tight hammie and I feel like I still baby it after all these years. *sigh* I do make sure I do a good warm up before I stretch that area... I keep telling myself, If I keep up with the stretching some day I might just be flexible again! lol As I have gotten older I can't read…

Hey everyone! I am so uber excited! It is spin day! Toot toot! I know crazy right? lol I am soooo pushing for a 2 pound loss this sunday! But since I am a shortie at 5' it is like a freaking miracle for me to lose 2 pounds consistently every week. UGH! ( she whined ) B) I had a great body resistance work out last night.…

Morning everyone! I did pretty good yesterday with getting in some spinning and staying in my calories. I am trying SO hard not to get frustrated! UGH! I am at that weight where my body will not budge. I meant will not budge. I tend to go right back up to 173... sometimes it seems like overnight too! I just keep telling…

Last week should be easy for me to beat... I was such a total slacker! :o 1. I had 60 minutes last week 2. I will get 3 spinning classes in this week and 2 strength 3. target minutes: 95 minutes My new mantra: Spin to be Slim! B) Let's do this everyone!!!!
