I'll just post what I put up on my wall, mainly out of sheer exhaustion :-) Sorry all that I have not been on this week to support everyone. I've been home sick fighting a sprained neck, 103 fever, and some mystery infection the doctor's still haven't identified but now think I might have Lyme's Disease after being bitten…
-
Morning all. I've been stuck in bed now on day two. I have a fever that keeps going above 102, a UTI, and I sprained my neck muscles so bad my spine is a little out of whack according to the medimerge doctor yesterday. :-( I swear if it's not one thing it's another. On a plus, I still managed to track everything I ate…
-
If it's not one thing it's another...pulled my neck out. So I was real careful about my food choices and grateful it was a rest day on abs. Tomorrow I'll do abs and probably my bike to keep away from upper body. For now I'm medicated and off to bed. Ugh. On a plus, my determination is strong and I'm feeling great about…

Happy Day 70! I started today with the Ab Challenge (which my 5 year old did side by side with me) and followed that with a one mile walk (would have been more but the need for chicken nuggets was too strong for my wee-one!). After swim class I'm hoping to get at least another mile in before it gets dark! If I can't talk…
-
Morning all! Completed day 2 of the ab challenge, and also did the first circuit of the 30 Day Shred. I'm going to just do that circuit until my x-rays on the 12th to see how my knee does. Super excited! Nervous about weigh in tomorrow, this week was terrible! But here's hoping not too much damage!
-
Woohoo! Eased myself back into the 30 day shred tonight. I just did the warm up and the first of three circuits. I think I'll stick with just one circuit for a couple of days then add another. My x-rays are in a week and a half so I'm hoping for full clearance, but I need to do something and I feel like I've got something…
-
Just did Day 1 of the Ab Challenge. It was a short one but made me feel good about jumpstarting back into it. What a crappy day outside today! Looks like I'll be on the bike inside tonight when I get home! :-) Happy Friday, and I am BACK in it!
-
Ok, so I fell off the wagon and fell hard this week. It's been rough with not feeling well and just laying in bed for days. Today was terrible food wise and I can't even track all the crap I put in my mouth. So I'm calling it a loss for today (and the last several). However tomorrow is my first day back at work, and I know…
-
Happy Day 62! I just reset my profile to show Lightly Active (previously sedentary which is not the case anymore). However my calorie goal stayed the same. So I guess I'll keep trucking along. My goal was to get in a couple hours of walking today but I still have so much cleaning to do before little man comes home…
-
Good luck on your exam! I'm sure you'll do great! Work from home day so I got a workout in early this morning. Plus I have been slacking on the abs so I squished in that this morning too. Hoping to get in a quick workout at lunch and if it's not too freezing walking outside later!
-
LOL, yes killing people was exactly how I felt today! I got my workout in, feel a little less stressed, and now ready to crawl into bed where my son has so generously left me 6 inches to sleep lol. Tomorrow is a work at home day, so I'm super excited that I can get an extra workout in!
-
I hate the weather. I want to be with Tanya on her cruise! :-) Today was a crazy stressful day at work. I wanted to hit the gym but I couldn't get away from my desk and calls. After my son gets home and settled I'm going to pull out the bike and get pumping for about a half hour though that tired, just wanting to stay in…
-
Nice job everyone! Tanya have a blast! Today was our work's 5K run 3K walk. As much as I WANTED to do the run...they all looked so pumped!...I was sensible and did the walk. It was funny though because the path was narrow and I got stuck towards the back...all I kept thinking was "you people are slowing me down!" lol so I…
-
Considering it is FREEZING here in Jersey I am now super jealous of your vacation! lol After the little one got on the bus this morning I hopped myself right on my bike with the trainer on it this morning and pedaled my way through another catch up episode of Revenge. Until we can fix it to have resistance the calorie burn…
-
So the trainer didn't quite hook up to my bike right. However we swapped out my bf's back tire for mine, made a small adjustment (so there is no extra resistance) but at least it's something! Did it for about an hour tonight while I caught up on some Revenge! This will be great for my inside workout once I swap out that…
-
Lost exactly one pound this week. Wished for more, BUT my bike trainer is finally here so I am super excited to get on and try that out tonight! Tonight I am trying a new recipe out of my Weight Watcher's cookbook. 229 calories for Southern Oven Fried Chicken. Yummy! I've been flagging recipes to try little at a time,…
-
Evening folks! What a busy day! We held our garage sale this morning and I was on my feet the whole 6 hours! After that went on a train ride to a pumpkin patch and corn maze. I wound up walking for a total of 60 minutes at least today outside of normal activity and about 10,000 steps so I'm good for my work challenge too!…
-
Congrats Tanya! What a great feeling, right?! Happy Friday all! Finally a day I can work at home this week has been crazy!!! I had an insane schedule yesterday followed by a photography class, topped off with cramps lol. So No, I did not get my workout in! I do plan on going for a walk today, and I've already been up and…
-
Hello everyone! So work got out of control and my friend and I couldn't go at lunch...but I changed in the bathroom on the way home and stopped at the trail on the way, got a good 3.5 miles in tonight! Good night all!
-
Wow Rhenee that sounds awesome! :-) We had our Employee Appreciation Fall Festival today. Bring on the Apple Cider Donut! I used my lunch voucher for that yummy wrap in the cafeteria instead of the mega hoagies they were handing out outside. I planned it smart and broke dead even on my calories. It got crazy at work so I…

50 DAYS! Holy cow! Today I went to the gym with a friend from work (who is on my team for the work challenge). She went into the step class (man that looked like fun) and I power walked on the treadmill. I never go with anyone, so I was so self conscious that I told her I had to finish up something so she'd be already in…
-
I took a rest day today, first one since starting the challenge I think. However I have been cleaning, doing laundry and schlepping what felt like a million grocery bags up to my second floor condo (it took at least 8 trips). Super excited about my loss this morning, so now I am down a total of 21 pounds woohoo!
-
Hope you enjoyed the Tball game! It is GORGEOUS in New Jersey today. I just got back from another over two mile walk, today on that trail I love so much. I went with a friend and we were both childless for the day so we got very far! It's still daylight and I'm contemplating going out again for a while!
-
I just walked 7 miles! 7 MILES! around my complex. I am beyond excited...of course both of my legs want to fall off - but I'm not huffing and puffing...I really feel like I'm getting stronger! Tomorrow I'm planning for a really nice solo walk along the canal. There is a path that stretches across New Jersey and runs 68…
-
Wow what a day. Woke up with a blazing migraine, running late to get my little one on the bus and then to work! However, despite the rain I still walked for my telepresence meeting (impressing my co-workers) and got a few others moving today too. Finally home now at 7:15 and about to get my ab work in before going for a…
-
Great way to turn that mindframe around Tanya! I got up this morning with the start of a migraine (rain just came in) but still drove myself to the park and did my 2-1/2 miles in the rain. It's supposed to get worse later but my neighbor said I can use her treadmill at lunch if I want. :-) Have a great day all!
-
LOL, I was thinking - Valentine's day will be just shy of 90 days from our last day of this challenge if I did my math right. Might be another good motivator!
-
I know we still have 45 days left of the challenge, but all last night I kept thinking to myself "I can't believe it is half over. What am I going to do then??!" This challenge has been so great for me, I hope those of us who still have a ways to go can keep it running even after those 90 days are over! :-) So my son had a…
-
Morning ladies! Squished in my ab workout this morning since little man is still sleeping. Gym bag is packed and I'm excited to get in there at lunch time! Have a great day all!
-
Happy Day 43! Well my plans to go to the gym at work today were foiled by a sick child. I'm going to have to figure out how to be creative in my workout today. My county is currently under a tornado watch (we never get tornados) until 5pm then we are supposed to get hit with some heavy rains. So I think walking outside is…
