Nessa! We've got plenty 'o room here. Hey, I'm the same one who loved your "I can't I'm allergic; I break out in fat" quote from another thread. This is a great thread. Lots of support and funny ladies here.
Kim- the 28 day makeover is basically a weight/cardio program plus really, really clean eating. It's kind of what I've been doing and I mostly bought the book because it had a ton of different weight exercises. I only got the interval cardio (which I had been doing anyway) in once so far this week. When I'm done w/this post I'm going down for 1/2 hr. I've had a crazy, busy week; not home
at all. Did do all the weight stuff; the eating has been very good although I can't seem to follow the book's diet plan too well. I improvise and eat what fits into my day. I'm mostly a calorie counter and I try to limit starchy carbs. I need to pick a day and weigh in. I was doing Fridays then stopped and now get on the scale when I think I've lost some weight. No rhyme or reason!
Congrats on the one lb. loss!! I'm itching to get into the 150's right now. I'm right on the edge. The weather has
finally, finally gotten nice. Just today. I've had the heat on the past 2 weeks. Crazy!! Now that the weather is co-operating I can finally get regular dog walks in the afternoon. If I can manage 3-4 days a week, in addition to the other stuff, I know the scale will move down.
How is everyone else doing? We've been looking (on-line) at colleges this past week.
Too much information overload is going in my brain right now. We're trying to plan visits over the next few months. My daughter, Julie, needs to figure out which college is best for her. There's one that's a good school but it 2.5 hrs. (one way) away. I just
can't stand the thought of her being that far away. (Aren't I selfish?) There are others closer by (1 to 1 1/2 hrs. away). The parental units will be pushing for these schools!
Hope you guys are doing well. Talk to ya soon!
Jo
