sum, such is life. The important thing is to just pick up where you left off, which I know you will do! Thought of you and zumba when I was at WHBM today. Nice stuff there!
Nah... I really liked a couple of things but didn't want to spend the money since I'm still hoping to shrink my butt & thighs a bit. But I really liked their jeans and will keep them in mind come Fall.
Hi all quick note no time for personals. Yard sale weekend. Friday we went to block island. I keep undoing my hard work. Went back up to 218.4. Back down to 217 today but really want to be under 210 by end of July.
My husband left for China for 2 whole weeks so I really should be able to focus.
fingers crossed. Hope you all have a good day.
Plateaus stink! I loathe the 150s. I will be breaking through the stall very soon! Woke to 150.8. Just keep hovering at 150 point something.
Yesterday I was able to somewhat stick closer to only doing 10,000 steps, went 14,777 steps. Changed things up a bit. Today I have not decided if I will do the same or go right back to my normal days. Today is a weight training day. I'm going to push that a bit harder. I am also going to, whether I walk 6 miles or 12 miles, throw in some more different exercises. Maybe I will try to jump rope with laundry rope. Maybe do some intervals of jumping jacks and jump rope with speed walking. Something to get this body losing again.
I think I am getting my mojo back. Yesterday was 90% OP and so far today I am 100% OP.
It is hotter than h3ll here (ironically a few summers ago on a day like this I was in H3ll, MI ). -- DS had a baseball game and I kept drinking loads of water. Trying to keep myself hydrated for the heat and weightloss. -- I am usually really careful with sun, but I missed a little spot on my chest and now have a sunburn
I took a walk later on last night and thinking about doing the same today.
I had to give up on my lunges; my darn broken ankle could not stand it. I could feel the plate I have..... That ankle has quite upsetted me since the break. It has limited a lot of my life.
Off to water my tomatoes.
I hope everyone is having a healthy and happy day!!
Thanks Zumba, I appreciate you saying that. I have overate to the point of misery for a long time. Not good. It took me to get to the age of 47 to learn to listen and for you to say don't eat if I'm not hungry. Thanks
Aspen I applaud you for taking care of your parents what a wonderful person you are
Ladies I enjoy reading and talking with you but I am going to drop out of the ochallenge. I can't even make it out of the low 190's. I feel like there is something more I could be doing and I do know what it is. I just don't feel like it most days. When I get home after being on my feet most of the day, I just want to talk with my family, eat dinner while on 3FC, shower and go to bed. I get home close to 7 most days and I need to be in bed by 9:30-10 to get proper rest. I'm sure you ALL will meet your goals because you have that needed focus and you're doing quite well . I'll look you up when I get that focus ... oh I'm not giving up or leaving 3FC I post on an accountability thread daily but I'm just not near ready for a challenge.
Aspen-I know this doesn't make your plateau any easier, but I would love to be hovering at 150 instead of trying like heck to not hit 170.
my keyboard quit again, so annoying, using the mouse and onscreen keyboard....
TOM showed up today, so I probably don't need to tell you how much I just want to smash that keyboard. I did give it a little love tap.
Anyway, just wanted to say I was neither as good or bad as I could have been yesterday, but am very proud of myself for staying OP today and getting in cardio and exercises.
Big , love!! I am so sorry you are feeling down right now.
keli: Augh to TOM and the keyboard. Hopefully you will feel better today.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that I have broken through my stall and now back to weight loss. This morning I weighed in at 150.2.
This morning for breakfast I tried something new, Kashi's Cinnamon Harvest. It was very good. I am going to have a serving of dark sweet cherries also.
I did weight training yesterday but will be doing it again today. I am starting a new schedule. I will be weight training on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I plan to keep walking every day, throwing in some other exercises on Tuesday, Thursday, and the weekend.
Visiting nurse will be coming this morning. Off to get in as much walking as I can before her arrival.
Rennie, so sad to see you leave the challenge! -- Even tho we use the word "challenge" on our title it is more an accountability and chat thread. And you can always change your personal goals...it does not have to be weight, it can be anything... My goal for our last challenge was to eat better and move more, nothing fancy. So pop in time to time and give us updates.
Talking about my original goal... I need to revamp this challenge of mine. I will not meet my weight goal for sure, atleast not in a healthy way... I need to challenge myself to eat better and less. I am out of control and scale is up 4 pounds in 10 days. Hoping for a better day. I did so well yesterday until evening came and I ate everything in sight (I liked Zumba's raccoon theory ), and this morning I feel bloated, yucky and guilty.
Off to my morning walk with a girlfriend and from there off to a better and healthier day.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one struggling to stay on plan. My scale is a rollercoaster. Stop the ride...I want off! I'm bouncing around between 180-184. Not fun. My challenge goal is 179. I'm doubtful I'll make that. I have something going on every night this week that will prevent me from working out. I'm bummed about that. It always sets me back and I hate having to regain fitness ground.
Anyway, another busy day at work, so once again, no time for personals. I'm sorry...I really am reading, I just don't have time to formulate responses. I do want to say to love2b150: Change your "challenge" and keep coming here. It's all about being accountable. Maybe your challenge to post in the challenge thread every day. We'd miss you!
I'm in the probably not going to make my challenge goal as well, still have hope because I'm in denial that August is getting so close, even though back to school stuff is all over...
Trying to kick it up a notch, not easy with TOM, but if I don't try now next week I'll have something else I'm sure.
