2 miles
I just jogged for 2 miles on my treadmill! I usually do a mile and then one lap of a cool down walk. But yesterday I did it and it seemed a little too easy. So today I decided I would keep going once I hit that mile mark. I thought I'd do a mile and a half but when that came I was determined to make it to two miles...and I…

Old life was wasting away
Does anyone else feel like their old life was just wasting away? I mean, I am so active now. I haven't been outside this much and walking/running/playing and pretty much just enjoying life since I was a kid. I find that I don't watch as much tv anymore. I clean a lot more. I think that's just because I feel like I need to…

OT--heart murmurs and abnormal cells
Hey guys. I'm coming to you because I don't know who else I can really talk to right now. I just got off the phone with my sister Ally. She's a 19 year old college basketball player. She recently had a pap smear that came back with highly abnormal cells. The doc told her it's not cancer yet but it could turn into cancer if…

I showed will power!
Today is my brother's 21st birthday and I'm making him a cake. I'm like a baking queen. Love to bake but I also love to eat what I bake :ohwell: So I haven't baked anything in a while because I was sure I'd chow down. But today I made my bro a cake and afterwards I usually have what's left in the bowl...the whole bowl.…

Multivitamins
I'm gonna start taking one because I know I don't get enough good stuff in me. I was just wondering which one is a good one to take. Does it matter? Are they all the same? I have no clue! Can someone help me out? Thanks :happy: :heart: Kels

I wore shorts today
Wanted to share some excitment...Today was the first day in over a year...probably closer to 2 years...that I put on shorts and went out into the world lol. And we're talking real shorts. Not the ones that go down to your knees, not basketball shorts, real jean shorts! And I felt like my legs looked good :happy: Now I just…

Stand
I was listening to my encouraging songs this morning and when this one came on, I thought it'd be great to share. It gets me moving and feeling like I can do it. So maybe it'll motivate some of you who are struggling. Rascal Flatts Stand You feel like a candle in a hurricane Just like a picture with a broken frame Alone…

Went way off track
I was doing so good. Then I got really sick for about 2 weeks. I lost all motivation. I gained 5 pounds. I feel like giving up. I find myself getting mad at 2 of my friends who have lost over 20 pounds. I guess it's jealousy. I feel like I can't do it. I need motivation. That's all I guess. :heart: Kels

A little reminder
I've been in a little bit of a funk lately. I cannot get past this 15 pound mark. I go back and forth between 188 and 185 like crazy. But with that being said, my body is changing. I can feel that I've lost inches in places. I can even look at myself in the mirror and see a difference. And my clothes fit differently. I…

Another non scale success
So I was doing my yoga today and there were about 3 poses that I used to have to modify. Today I could do them completely! One of the reasons is because my belly fat isn't as big so it's not blocking my way of twisting and stuff :happy: I have a much stronger core and I'm way more flexible! Just another step to being a…

There goes today
Oh crap my day is already shot lol. Tonight is the last basketball game of the season and my girls don't have school today so we're going to Denny's for lunch. I just looked at their nutritional info and it's not looking too good :ohwell: But that's not it...my boyfriend worked last night and I had practice so we're…

Getting back into it
So I've been kinda out of the loop for a couple weeks. My back has put me out physically but also mentally. I haven't done much in terms of workouts just because it hurt. That got to me so of course I ate worse. But today I'm back. I went to the doctor yesterday and he's making me go to physical therapy. It's not a…

The back is getting to me
Ok I'm either going to the doctor today or tomorrow, depending on when they can get me in. I'm going to demand tests because it's getting worse every day. The thing is it's killing me to not work out. I can't even do yoga anymore because it hurts so bad. So of course I'm starting to feel down and gain some weight back.…

back pain
I'm only 23 but I've had a bad back since I was a sophomore in high school. Yoga was really helping with it, but last week I slept on a soft mattress, which really sucks for my back. It hasn't got back to feeling right yet. I'm still doing yoga almost every day but taking it slower and I'm sleeping with a pillow under my…

Met my first goal!
I have reached my first weight loss goal of 15 pounds! 15 more and I'll be in the range I'm hoping for, 160s. Ya know, it really isn't as hard as you think it'll be when you first start. Working out becomes fun and eating right actually seems right. Fast food doesn't seem as yummy anymore. I'm amazed with myself because I…

Sick girl here
So yesterday one of my girls from my basketball team came up to me and told me she had the flu...she looked so horrible. Another girl then told me she was sick too. So on my bench at the game I have 2 girls coughing all over the place. So of course I wake up today and I am sick :sad: I had to call into work, which I hate…

Made a good decision!
So I'm a high school girls basketball coach and my dad's a hs boys varsity coach. He's been coaching since before I was born. As I grew up going to basketball games, I also grew up associating fast food with basketball :tongue: It'd get so busy during bball season that we were out eating almost every night. It kinda became…

A Chin
As in only 1 lol. That's what I now have! All together I've lost a total of 11 pounds and it's showing. And yesterday I went to do a stretch that was always uncomfortable because I had so much arm fat and I could do it! I stretched and was like "dude some of my arm is gone!" It was an amazing feeling :happy: So my new pic…

Carpal Tunnel
Anyone else have it? Is so what has helped you with it? I've had it for about 4 months, only have problems when I sleep for the most part, so I got the brace, which worked pretty well. I read that yoga helps so I started that and it helped so much. But now I've lost some weight and I think I need a small brace because it's…

Didn't want to do it
I did not want to do my yoga workout today. Yesterday I helped my brother move some heavy furniture and my muscles are so sore today. I went on a bike ride with my dog and came home to do yoga and really really did not want to do it. So I came on here instead and got motivated so I did it anyway. I'm glad I did because I…

Organic anyone?
I was just wondering if anyone has gone organic? My dad tries to eat mostly organic and when he does he loses weight. I'd love to be able to do it, but the foods seem to be so expensive. Just wondering if anyone else has tried it :smile:
