Size 12 and feelin' fine!
Today was a milestone for me... I finally wore the SIZE 12 slacks that I bought a couple of weeks ago to work. And these are not stretch! They look good, they fit, and I am feeling fantastic. I was still wearing size 16 and 18 at the beginning of the year. I don't even remember the last time I was wearing 12s. So there!…

SBF2 Reboot Boogaloo... May 28th
Hello, pebbles. Today is race day! I have to decide if I can tolerate running in a rain coat, or if I should just plan to get wet and try to stash a towel somewhere. Other than that, nothing planned! Running boogaloo! :flowerforyou:

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! ... May 26
Good morning, pebbles! I am up early to see my parents off. We had a really nice visit, although I'm afraid I did a little damage - ice cream twice (kiddie size, though), 2 glasses wine one night, 2 margaritas another night. :embarassed: It looks like I'm up 3 pounds but I'm not going to count it unless it stays around for…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo - Earth Day 4/22
Good morning, pebbles! It looks to be a rainy one here again. Minimal success with leaving food yesterday - I managed to eat just half a Clif bar before yoga, and then not eat the rest of it until an hour after dinner. And it was wrapped up and sitting on the table mocking me that whole time! :tongue: I got my pushups in…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! - April 21st
Hi all - I have an early (well, early for me) meeting today so this will be just be a quick one to get things started. I managed to get to bed on time, and get up in time to do my strength routine. Forgot to do pushups last night (well, I remembered once I was in bed) so I will do them when I get home. Tonight is yoga. My…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! - April 10th
Hello all! Sorry I forgot to post yesterday. I didn't get my weights done yesterday morning (or this morning, for that matter), but I made them up last night and plan to do the same tonight. Clearly, I still to work on getting to bed on time! I also went to Zumba last night, which was fun. Last week, I averaged around…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! - April 7th
Let's see, April snow brings May... what?!? Yep, you read that right, Texans - we've got snow. Only a couple inches, but still. :noway: Nice to see you back, Nicole. Good luck on your exam! MM, glad you are feeling better (even if you are eating more - I am sure getting back into your routine will help). V, sorry you…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! - April 6th
Hello, pebbles! Sorry I went a little MIA over the weekend - just never got around to posting. My big news is that I've decided to start logging my calories again... so I'm going to go do that, and then come back to finish my post. I just wanted to get things started here. :smile: Alright... just plugged everything in... I…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo - April 2
Good morning, pebbles. Steel-cut oatmeal and blueberries has become possibly my favorite breakfast - yum. :love: Though I still love yogurt and muesli. I managed to do my pushups last night, though I was a little disappointed in my last set. Today is strength routine (done), walk after lunch, and Zumba. Oh, and 5 cups…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! - April Fools edition
So I'm gearing up for my half marathon today, followed by a swim across Lake Ontario... Just kidding. :bigsmile: Strength routine, aerobics tonight, and pushups. I gave myself permission not to lose any weight in March, and with the exception of the 2 pounds I put on in the week before getting back to exercising and then…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! - March 31
Good morning, all - just getting things started while I eat breakfast. OK - I did my strength routine this morning, and am trying to decide if I am going to go running today or do yoga. I might save running for the weekend so I'm not doing cardio four days in a row... on the other hand, they finally added a yoga class at…
-
SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo - March 27th
I seem to be the one getting things started lately... :smile: Today is my day off from cardio. In fact, since I've done cardio for the last 4 days straight, I don't need to do any more this week - just yoga sometime over the weekend and a couple more strength routines. I did my strength workout this morning, and will do my…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! ... March 26th
I just can't help myself! :tongue: I got up and did my strength routine, and am planning to go to Zumba tonight. That will be 4 days in a row of cardio! :noway: But Zumba is fun so I don't want to miss it. I might get a walk in after lunch, but it will probably be raining. My main goal for today, again, is avoiding junk…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo...March 25th
Good morning, everyone. I did my strength workout this morning, and am heading to aerobics after work. Then I will do pushups once I get home. My big goal for today is to not eat any junk (see last night's post)! We are going out for Indian for lunch (buffet) for a co-worker's birthday, so that will be a challenge as well.…

SBF 2: Reboot! ... March 24th
Good morning everyone! I am going to start the post and then come back to edit it so we don't have multiple threads going. :wink: Today is going to be a long day for me, and I may not get to work out much. I got up and did my strength workout. Can I just vent for a minute? I've had this book since I was in college, but was…

SBF2: Reboot! ... March 20
Getting an early start today - hopefully I'm the only one starting a post right now. :wink: Today is a light day - I did my strength training this morning, and I'll probably have a walk after lunch. I should do pushups tonight as well, but we are heading to Syracuse for a concert so I hope I have time to get them in before…

SBF challenge - March 12
Hello, SBFers! Even though there's snow on the ground, I'm feeling a little more chipper this morning. Maybe because I seem to be down half a pound. My goals for the day: - drink my water - do my pushups - either go to Zumba or do a cardio DVD at home And then I need to spend some time thinking about what my routine should…

Stronger, Better, Faster - March 10
I'm going to go ahead and start the thread up this morning - I've been told that Big Brother may be watching at work, so I maybe shouldn't log in much there. :grumble: Well, it's official - I have gained a few pounds (2 since I took a break, 4.5 since my last optimistic weigh-in at the end of January). Not too much in the…

SBF Challenge - December 29
Hello SBFers! I hope you all had a great holiday. MM - SO glad to hear that you are doing better. :happy: I am still alive. My parents were visiting for the past week, so I pretty much took the week off. It was nice. My mom bought me a fancy new workout outfit to help keep me motivated, which I thought was really cool of…

Stronger, Better, Faster challenge - Dec 18
Hello everyone. I am still here - if I have time to post, it is usually at the end of the day and nobody sees them. Oh well! Today I managed to get here early, so I will start things up. In case you haven't seen, I wasn't too affected by the ice storm personally... but since I work for a power company that had over 200,000…

SBF October 26
Hi everyone - I don't have a whole lot to say, but it's 3pm and no one's started up the post yet! So I will get things going. I did my pushups yesterday - successfully completing week 6. I don't know how they think I'm suddenly supposed to be able to do 100 now, though, considering the most I've done consecutively is 53...…

SBF Sept 23
Well, it's Tuesday, so that means I am :mad: :angry: :explode: :grumble: :sad: 5 weeks in a row I have been at the same weight. Arrggh! I don't know if I should reduce my calories again or what. I ate a little bit more last night to make up some exercise calories, so I am going to weigh again tomorrow in hopes that it was…

Hunger is a good thing!
I want to post a little of what I have learned and observed about my own metabolism and weight loss over the past few months, in the hopes that it might help some people: When I was gaining weight, it was for the two obvious reasons - I was eating too much, and not exercising. But the thing is, I wasn't usually eating out…

Stronger, Better, Faster Sept 6
I didn't see a topic yet this morning, so I'll get things started. I'm beginning to get a bit frustrated at not losing. I know it's only been a month or so, but I feel like I've been stuck forever. I guess I'm in that "last 10 pounds" (or 15, in my case) stage where my body just doesn't want to give anything else up. I…

SBF Sept 4
Wow, starting my first thread! I guess today is a (mostly) rest day for me - I overslept so I didn't have time to do Shred, and I have a massage after work, so... I'm not gonna screw it up by exercising right after. :bigsmile: I'll try to squeeze in a walk at lunch, and I'll do my pushups late this evening. My weight on…
