polies- Hope you made it to zumba tonight. Glad the stress is lightening up. Drbork- yay for hitting. What is the new goal? sheila- I was scared to weigh in too. Sorry about the bladder infection.

You are doing really well on your cals today. Is the stress laying off? I was almost within cals today, had a little overdose on frosting my my teremisu (Sp?)…

Brenda- Cheese is my thing too! I was WAY over on cheese. 1oz is not a lot at all!!

I was just 150 over my calories today. At this point I consider that a good accomplishment. Yesterday I bought a food scale, wow what an eye opener that is! When I measured with cups and spoons I was over by 1.5-2 x!!! EEEK, that adds up!!!! Anyway, so now I have to adjust to actually eating less because I am measuring…

Hello everyone! I am back on track! Yesterday I was within my calories and also got a good workout in! Feels good to be back in the game! amc- thanks for the encouragement.

Iris you are so restrained! Good job resisting all the other good food!!! Thanks for the suggestion on the tea. Can you find that anywhere or just health food stores? I need something because it happens a lot and doesn't feel good and doesn't work too well with the scale!! Polliesgirl- good for you for getting a workout in…

doubleloop- Congrats on being down 20 pounds! Yippie! Can I just say that I am so tired of dieting? Seriously, I just want to eat what I want when I want. Today was a challenging day. I was over on cals but did do some good exercise- 20 minutes intervals and p90x chest, tri and shoulders. Better luck tomorrow!

polliesgirl- So sorry. I feel for you. It is so hard to get back on the wagon! I really hope that the steps you have taken today get you there. Really it only takes a day or two to get back on track. I hope that it works for you! iris- nice to see you! Yeah sure seems like things have thinned out huh? So glad you are on…

I did p90x plyo and ab ripper yesterday and 20 min of hills on the treadmill and back and biceps this morning. Feeling good!! Hope everyone elise is doing well!…

Hey everyone, I was within calories today. I was a bit over what I wanted (wanted 1500 but ended up at 1600) but that is okay still within the range including exercise. I did 20 minutes of intervals on the treadmill and then p90x chest, shoulders and tri. It was the first time doing this workout and it was challenging!! I…

Hello everyone! Well today was more successful than the weekend! I ended up within 1500 cals today, which was my goal. I did 4 miles of a run this morning and a 20 minute walk at lunch. yippie! Polliesgirl- Glad you got things figured out for the week. Hope your workouts happen. I really hope that you stay on track this…

Polliesgirl and fitshart- I hear you! I had a very off weekend too! My hubby took me for a week end get away to Mt. Rushmore. It was a great time! However, we ate out all meals on Saturday and Sunday. And let's just say I didn't try to make healthy choices!! Oh, and I didn't exercise at all. I am not even going to log it…

Hello everyone! Things are going well here. I ran 5 miles this morning and walked .8 miles. It felt great. I was within my cals today although I really did eat a long of junk! I made choc chip cookies and ate two and then had ice cream. I didn't eat breakfast because I got up late and then ran so I wasn't over on the cals…

Hey everyone! Today was another good day! I was within calories again. I feel like I maybe shouldn't count all of my exercise calories because I am eating a lot when I include them (1600-1800 total). I guess I will wait until Monday and see if the scale continues to move downward and then reevaluate in necessary. We'll…

Hi everyone! I was within my calories today. I did 20 minutes of intervals on the treadmill this morning and core synergistics (p90x) for the first time. That was an interesting dvd. I had a hard time keeping up but I am sure I will get it after a few more times. I did sneak a weight in today, I am down 2.5 pounds from the…

Hey everyone! I did well today. I was within my calories. I did 90 minutes of yoga this morning. I actually enjoyed it rather than loathed it the whole time! Sorry I don't have time for personals today but I promise to do that tomorrow!

Everyone seems like they are doing great! Keep up the good work! I had a wonderful weekend. So many fun events! Back to the grind now! Today was my "rest day". I actually don't like rest days but know they are necessary so I take them. I was way over on calories today (600!!!) I cannot just eat 1200 calories and I didn't…

pg- glad you got out for a walk. Are you having the stew for lunches this week? Jessica- So glad you are liking your body! That is key accepting your body. I am doing p90x right now and really like it. I am on week 4. I generally follow the exercise plan but haven't really done the yoga and also do running (20 min of…

Smley- Yay!!! So happy for you and your 3 pounds! That is awesome!!!! Stick with it and the scale will continue to go down. Bethe- sounds like a great workout. Hope you are over your cold fast, they are never any fun and always are a pain to workout with. Fitshark- tracking can be challenging. I have found tracking what…

Smiley- I have been running for over 5 years now. I love it! I started with shorter distances. I have run 2 marathons and 2 1/2 marathons. I like the 1/2 better the marathon is just insane, yet I would like to do another one! You could totally run! There was a time when I wasn't running and built up to a marathon. Just…

Smiley- Doesn't it feel good to out work others during the same workout! That is why it is so great to workout with other people, a little friendly competition! You sure are cooking some yummy things! I wish I had the time/motivation to actually follow a recipe now and then :) Keep up the good work! Pollies- Sorry, I must…

Amc and iris - welcome! Smily- you are doing well! Great job getting in two workouts and it sounds like you are eating some yummy meals. I don't think it is bad to indulge in "unhealthy" things as long as it is not too often and you do so in moderation. Keep it up!
