Under the weather today so I could only do 125. 1 rep of 50 and 3 of 25.

over on both water and exercise for today.

All challenges met today

My cold doesn't seem too bad so far so I will pledge 2 miles. Being conservative just in case. If we do more than we pledge does it count towards the total?

I found this recently in an older (1998) Cook Healthy, Cook Quick cookbook from Sunset Magazine. This also freezes well. Jamaican Chili Ingredients Vegetable cooking spray 1 tsp olive oil 1 1/2 c chopped onion 2 cloves garlic, crushed 2 1/2 c chopped sweet yellow pepper 1 Tb ground cumin 1 Tb hot hungarian paprika (I only…

Giving up sodas makes a big difference for me. Anytime I go back to drinking them then quit, I will lose a few pounds the first week. I will still have one on occassion, but they taste really strange now. Like drinking sugar water, which it is. A strange side effect for me is that my teeth cleaning takes longer when I'm…

I want to apologize to the team ahead of time. Not sure how things will go for me this week. My husband gave me his cold. I will do the best I can. I do get a temporary burst of energy when I take the cold medication so I may at least get something done. Until I know how I am feeling over the next couple of days I don't…

I find keeping an eye on my heart rate keeps me where I need to be not to trigger an ashma attack. If I keep it no higher than 140-145, with a few occassional slow downs to 130 I can get through a 30 minute elliptical session. My goal is to keep myself breathing well enough that I don't have to stop. I have been working on…

I have 2 friends who live in Houston, does that count? :wink: I told one about this site but I don't think she has checked it out yet.

The only pain I'm still feeling is under the arm pits. Must be from all those push-ups followed by a yoga class the next day when she said, "we are going to work the triceps!". Boy I wanted to walk out I hurt so bad already. But I pushed through. Will do an easier yoga routine today for some general stretching. Sounds nice…

Worried by how i'm feeling this morning that I caught my husband's bad cold. I sure don't want to let up now. I haven't even lost a pound yet and want to get there! And more.

May I be the first to say...ouch!!!! I sounds like a complainer, but that is just my teasing/sarcastic nature. I was raised by a father who physically pushed his three daughters passed their physical limitation on a regular basis so I am used to it. We all ended of up incredible stamina and will stupidly push ourselves too…

Just added another 200. Now I really am going to bed.

Yay! 200 done in twenty minutes. Had to rest a few times though.

squat lunges completed 8 glasses of water consumed Under calories for today Nighty Night

burned over 700 calories today. that helps to make up for the less than 300 yesterday.

If squat lunges are what I think they are, got those done before leaving the house for the day. Probably should have done them before instead of after breakfast. Urp.

Only burned 279 today. Too sore from the rest of the week. Will do better over the weekend.

pushups done water done calories over- margaritas and mexican food on Friday nights Going shopping in Beverly Hills with stepmom and sister tomorrow. Hoping step-mom takes us to lunch, but will have to be careful. Easy to be careful shopping. No money to spend. But will keep track of how much time walking.

Good advice. Will you whisper than in my ear every morning?

Don't give up. I have been going through injury after injury and other physical ailments (asthma, vertigo) over the last few years. The scale doesn't budge. But damn it I'm not going to let my aging (49 yr) body beat me! If I am hurting in one place I work out another. The good news is I have worked so much with my knees…

Didn't lose any weight after all that hard work :grumble: But I did lose 1/2 inch in my waist which makes 1 inch total in 2 weeks. And that is really the most important thing. I could actually zip up my jeans. Still tight but at least wearable....standing up :tongue:

How did it go for you? I did it right before my yoga class and burned 116 calories in 15 min so that was nice. But that thing moves too darn slow for me. I couldn't figure out if there was a way to speed it up.

Those push-ups hurt this morning after that crazy 52 card push-up mini-challenge yesterday. Weighed in today, gained 1/2 lb. BUT lost 1/2 inch in my waist which is the most important thing right? Please agree because I'm doing my best not to feel down. I have been hovering at this 144 for a couple of years and it just…

This will give me the opportunity to try out the new stairsteppers at the gym. Those things are tall and scary looking!

over drank my water finished today's challenge, among a few others and will be under my calories.

Whew! Finally! 50 regular 29 girlie the rest a combo of wall and bannister. Ouch! But it's a good ouch.

I've been working on this off and on all day. Only 12 cards to go! I hope this is where all the small cards have been hiding.

Woohoo! Did it!

I wish I could lose 2, but am struggling with just 1,
