Isn't that the funnest bestest Jamie Jo? I secretly love kicking my trainer's, friends' or husband's booty. Of course, I'd never tell them that - but I can gloat a little.

Congrats on graduating from basement to gym!

Do you take measurements? I don't, but wish I did for when the scale was stuck.

[StNessa79]

Great going JamieJo! I have to ask though what is this C25K thing that every keeps talking about. Someone please fill me in.

I'm right there with everyone being in a rut. I didn't work out yesterday, had to squeeze grocery shopping in with watching CNN's election coverage. Then to celebrate I had some ice cream... naughty, I know. But can I say I'm still sore from working out on Monday! My husband is off 3 days this week & when he's here I don't get the ME time I need to work out but I'll see if I can fit something in tonight. I should get my dogs out for a walk. Although my neighbor just told me last night that when she took her dogs to the park we all walk at sometimes, they were attacked by a bigger dog. Poor things! I don't worry about my dogs too much, the big one looks intimidating and my two little ones are crazy so I'm sure they could handle themselves! Wow, that went off the subject...

But anyway, I hope everyone is having a better day. No more injuries, no more being in the dumps, what we need ladies is a vacation. When we all reach our goals we should all go on a cruise or to a resort and have fun wearing our swim suits & sun dresses I look for any reason to plan a vacation!
And for everyone...

Hey FB! I did take measurments about two weeks before I found 3FC. I had just bought Barry's Boot Camp and wanted to get my before measurements. I actually dug them out on Monday because I was feeling so crummy about not loosing. BUT, I didn't go down ANYWHERE! So that is frustrating too but whatever. If all I get out of this is becomming a fit person who can actually run, that's FINE BY ME. I'll keep trucking to see 139, but I am done beating myself up over this 160 number!

Hey Nessa! C25K is Couch to 5K. There are some threads on this site about it. Basically it takes a person who can not run at all and makes them a runner in 9 weeks. Well...I consider myself a runner now because 7 weeks ago there would have been NO WAY WHATSOEVER that I would be running for 25 mins without stopping. And today the 25 mins was easy! I even pumped up the threadmill to 6 for the last 5 mins! Try it out. I love it!

Hi Everyone~Gym went well. I like the pool aqua class it rocks. The new fitness class will be great once I get a few things figured out. Let me tell ya just because this class is designed for more mature folks doesn't mean it is sissy stuff. The teacher busted our bootay. I fit in just fine. These are the classes until Christmas. By then I might want to step it up, we will see how the muscles develop and how well my hip holds up. I am happy. I should reach the party this week. I have to run. Pat

Hello everyone!

I guess its a good way to get the exercising in though.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Hey all...just checkin' in really quick. I am on my way to Biology class. I will log on later and catch up on the posts.

Why do I feel like eating a pack of almond M&Ms right now? TOM was last week and it's over now. I'm so confused. Anyway...I don't think I'm going to be able to complete this challenge.

[Enygirl]

Sass - why can't you complete it? You have just over #4 to lose, and there's still time! Don't give up on yourself! Even if you don't make goal, we can at least get close!!!

My leg is still really sore today. If it doesn't improve over the weekend I may go to the Dr. THIS HURTS!!! I'm going to do a lot of upper body work and crunches the next few days to at least burn some calories!!! I gotta get to it!!!

Hi All~~My sister has an infected ulcer inside the hernia. The infection reached the blood vessel causing it to rupture. I don't understand all the details, but that is the jist of what caused the bleeding. They said it could happen again at any time. They took out the packing and swabbed it out good. took blood work, called the ER to make sure they had everything correct. She has an appointment to see a specialist surgeon next week. Then back to her regular doctor. They kept her back in the exam room for 3 hours. They wouldn't let me go back there with her. I was getting worried about her! I got home at 5:15 I AM HUNGRY!!!! Give me the chair with catchup!! Catch ya later Pat

Almonds are very good for you. Just buy a small single pack, eat it to satisfy your craving, and move on. Walk an extra 30 minutes or so a couple days in a row and work it out. If you constantly tell your sell that you are not allowed to have certain foods then you will eventually cave in and binge on them. Don't let it get to that. YOU ARE STRONG! You have control over the food not the other way around!
