@azulvioleta6 - I am sorry to hear about your car:( I am glad you were not hurt seriously. You usually are killing your steps per day when you have a car!!!! I cannot wait to hear how many you get in now that you will have some extra walking the next couple of days :) Way to find the positives!

@kwfitgal - awesome, I did not know we lived so close to each other! Ashland is a beautiful area, I went there last summer for the 1st time in Bayfield and we sea kayaked on Lake Superior. It was incredible. I love it up there:)

Alf - you should join me on another round of Chalene! I started on Saturday. Let me know if you decide to start this week and we can support each other. I had a great workout Saturday with Burn 1, tonight will be Burn 2:) The compound body moves are worth it, I was shaking when I got done. Calves are feeling a little…

I also have the bowflex adjustable dumbbells 552. I love them! They are pricey but worth it and do not take up much space. I ordered on Amazon Prime and they were shipped to me no cost. They are really great.

Joan - I know what you mean about the snacks. That seems to be the hardest for me. I am working on trying to do better shopping. I told my teen he needs to put the bad snacks up in the highest cupboard and not in sight starting this week. He is so active he can eat the junk and he is still losing weight. I have a hard time…

Thanks Azulviolet for the food ideas, that 90% of the battle for me. Congratulations on your loss. I love your new picture by the way:) you look great!

LittleNell- Awesome run, that is quite the speed per mile. When you said you were going to ease back into it I was not expecting 2.44 miles right off the bat. I look forward to hearing what you do once you are back in full swing:) Lori - welcome, great job picking up the dumbbells Gam- Great photos, that is inspiring. I…

Started Chalene Extreme Series again today. It kicked my butt. Then I did 20 minutes of step aerobics. Weighed myself and I was up 3 lbs. I am going to start doing morning Chalene Extreme program before work and then a workout at gym in the afternoons. This insanity of gain cannot continue. My eating has to change! I saw a…

Beeps - BOOOOOMMMM! you continue to inspire me. I wish I had 1/2 of your willpower but I will keep trying to get better! Congrats on you loss.

I love the baby squash, keep posting the pics, It is uplifting to us who are coming into the next season soon. It is supposed to be nice here next week, in the 60's Kellysue - good luck with your husband coming home this weekend, I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Good Morning to All of you, I do not have time…

great job! You are on a roll. I know that program is very intense. Any luck we will get before & after photos?

I had the best day yesterday. Went on my son's confirmation trip. We went to Luther Seminary and had an awesome tour guide. He is 25 and about to graduate and had so much positive energy and very intelligent! Learned and was able to take in some really cool art pieces they have there. We also went to Feed My Starving…

JFT Wednesday 1.) Get up early to work out before starting day 2.) enjoy chaperoning my son's confirmation field trip, we are going to Feed My Starving Children to pack meals. enjoy the laughter and goofiness with the kids. Embrace the moment and be thankful I have paid vacation time at work. <3

Kelly Sue - YEAH, I am so happy for you. I know Saturday will not come soon enough for you. That will be so great to have your family back together again. Caramel - Prayers to you and you coworker. That is horrible news. Alisha - thanks for the beautiful photos of the blooms. It was snowing here today, Yes, snowing!!!!…

cucumbers and King Arthur Pepper Plants started from seeds 5 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, started from seeds also. I am about 5 weeks out from being able to put in the ground. I wish it was sooner.

Beeps - thanks for the tip on the supplement to take for the DOMS. Maybe I just need to adjust my thinking and realize I am making progress. It has been so long since I have been in a gym it is like starting all over again and hard to know what weight/reps to do. I appreciate your feedback as your body is a result of…

yesterday went pretty good. I am starting to feel motivated again. I cleaned out my closet because clothes were too small. It actually motivated me to try to get back to where I was before but for now I had to purge them. I will set them aside for now and see if I can hopefully get back into them. JFT 4/21/15 1.) go to gym…

I have been getting back into a lifting routine at gym. I thought for sure my legs would be the most painful but I am feeling my arms more than my legs. I was already doing some lifting with upper body at home so that is strange. I guess I need to vamp up the amount I am doing with my legs. I do not feel like I…

I am so sorry to hear this:( I am an animal lover, my heart goes out to you <3

just for today Monday 20th 1.) work on making veggies a large portion of my plate 2.) get to the gym after work for cardio and weights 3.) do not judge myself for being 25lbs over weight. just keep trying.

@kwfitgal - so sad to hear your son has been so sick.take care and be easy on yourself, that is a lot to deal with:) ((((hugs))))

Went to the gym had a great work out. Felt really fat in my workout clothes. I just rejoined a gym it has been about 2 years since a membership... this is the 1st time ever I have felt self conscious about how I look in my gym clothes in public. That really kind of sucked. Today 4/16/15 1.) do cardio at lunch 2.) do not…

@1efcahill -I love this! Great job for cheering yourself on too. You are awesome:)

I have not heard of Percy Sledge either.... sorry :( I joined the gym in town and trying to get back in the routine of getting there now. I am going tonight to do weights and cardio. It is so awesome to have leg machines AGAIN! I had a tough weekend as my dad has been ill and ended up in the hospital. A terrible…

Just for today Wednesday April 15th 1.) go to the gym after work and do cardio and weights 2.) put away laundry when I get home tonight 3.) appreciate my health and realize today what I already have, stop wishing for more all the time. I am truly blessed and having your health is worth a million dollars. Too often I let…

Bill, BRI, Joan, thank you for your well wishes & prayers. My dad is back home tonight & he is doing better. The last week has been really emotional with this illness he came down with. I am hoping tomorrow will not be so heavy with worry. I plan on getting in a good workout tomorrow for sure :)

@ofmonstersandmeat - I just saved this as a favorite and bookmarked it with the star at top of page. We are here to support each other, good & bad days both. I love this thread because it has such amazing real people that inspire each other daily. I have actually learned to be less hard on myself my posting & reading out…

Just for today 1.) try to keep my emotions under control, I spent yesterday in the emergency room with my dad and they kept him in the hospital. He is still there today. 2.) get to the grocery store to pick up fruits, veggies and some other healthy food for the week.

Feistyjojo - great job! you are on a streak. I have been trying to focus on the feel good motivation also!!!!!
