Thanks Diva! I've alway had a rather large backside when I was growing up but then my stomach started catching up! When I gained weight I gained in my breasts as well. But now that I'm losing weight I can tell I'm getting ready to lose a cup size.
Hope gravity is kind to me after all this! I think my biggest fear is extra skin... I'm too broke to have surgery to take it off! :( |
I walked to town today to get some fruit and milk again I also did my leg and abs workout. I always seem to go on my long walks om leg day I tell ya my legs were burning after going up the hill. so far I have done 8.5 miles but I will update the thread tonight i hope to break 10.......:crossed:

Cathy...I see you are a wildlife woman. We live on a little over an acre right in the middle of the Dallas/Ft Worth metroplex...I mean 3/10 mile to the major highway between the two cities. But the yard and neighborhood have lots of big old trees. We have a Coopers' Hawk pair nesting here for the last 4 years, and the neighbor has nesting Yellow-crowned Night Herons. One of the immatures started hanging around in our yard, sits on the end of our above ground Wal Mart pool...he came back this year in adult plumage, just hangs around in the front or backyard like he owns the place! We have to be careful not to leave the dogs out when he's eating bugs out back.
I had a nap today! Oh, I love naps. I'm going up to the gym soon to hop on that exer bike to add to our miles....that nap did me a world of good. Now, how is everyone doing?? :wave: Wrongway...2 weeks holiday of doing nothing special sounds wonderful and restful. Any plans around the house? Reading? Painting? Drinking water and making healthy meals? OK, I'm outta here. I better put on my gym duds ...that will give me real miles to add to the challenge tonight. Later! |
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!
I'm only a dog mom, but the proud auntie to five little personalities courtesy of my sibs. After spending a weekend with all of them, my hat is off to Real Moms...day in and day out it's gotta be one of the most strenuous jobs in the world. Rewarding, I'm sure, too. Good news from my summer clothes this morning...for the first time since forever I took out a pair of last summer's shorts and they FIT comfortably! Still a size that most 20 Women wouldn't admit to, but they are loose enough to wear today, and I'm in 'em. jennylou and lottalisa, this will be your best week yet...work it! choosie. |
Sorry i've been quiet everyone. I have a big dementia exam on Tuesday that i'm trying so hard to study for but with the beautiful weather I was having a horrible time concentrating. Woke up today and it is pouring rain, so hopefully today when my kids are at a birthday party I'll be able to study!
|
Don't worry... I've been kind of MIA this weekend.
I haven't really gotten all of my water through out the weekend so I'll need to step that up through tonight and the rest of the week. I haven't exercised but I may go walking if I don't work on my business plan project in a few minutes. Hope everyones having a great weekend. Make sure you weigh in by Monday! :hug: |
Have been sooo busy the last few days. Eating hasn't been great and I've only gotten a couple walks in...nothing that is going to burn fat. But tomorrow is a new week and I'm ready for it!
Hope everyone is doing great! |
babygrant, I loved that "I have a big dementia exam..." :D
Busy weekend for me, too...it was quiet here this weekend so everyone must have been tending to things. I cooked a great dinner tonight of fish, broiled tomatoes and yellow squash, fresh asparagus, and rice (for hub). He is suddenly interested in eating a little more healthily (?) healthy? you know what I mean, so I'm very hopeful. I got some good walks with the girls, too, and even though today was hot hot hot and humid (for Dallas) we were out for 90 minutes total. OK. I'll weigh in tomorrow. I hope you all are doing well. OH! I checked in on our stats thread...candlemaker you are really kicking it, girl! Wow. nite-nite. choosewell. |
Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend!
I finally have the house to myself again. The kid has 2 weeks left of school and the man started his first day @ the new job. He was so silly and excited this morning! hehe...Anywho, gonna enjoy my last 2 weeks of peacefulness and calm before school let's out for the summer. Since my knees are bothering me a bit, I am going to change things up this week. I have decided since my bike is STILL broke, I am going to walk 2 miles to the Community Center, Swim laps for 30 minutes, and then walk back home another 2 miles, Mon, Wed, and Friday, on Tuesday and Thurday, I'll do about 40 minutes of cardio or Dancing, and then lift weights(Full body). I may toss in a Weight lifting session over the weekend or after a Walk/swim day. I'll rest over the weekend, but we usually have yard work or something going on to keep me moving. Wish me luck in keeping myself motivated. I am hoping I can do this all summer and make it a habbit. Once I get the bike working, or just get a new one, I'll Ride the 4 miles instead of walk. Also we went looking for land to buy this weekend. We found some and fell totally in love with it. It's wooded and hilly, with just enough leveled out room for a house, pool, drive way and Basket-ball hoop, OMG! We SOOOO loved it. It has maple and oak trees, shaded in places and sunny in others...I WANT it!!!! It's a new development, so the lots surrounding it are empty as well so if all works out we can get 2 lots and if we are REALLY lucky, buy ALL 3 because I LOVE them. Anywho, pray for us and cross your fingers for me! If not, then it wasn't meant to be right? If I've learned anything these past few months is everything happens for a reason....If one thing doesn't work out the way ya want it to, it simply means there is a better thing lurking around the corner... Has anyone seen the Lastest Rocky flick, 'Rocky Balboa"? I love the Rocky movies, LOL! I'm silly, but this latest one, Rocky gives his son a speech/lecture, and OMG, the message in it was awesome! I told my man we need to Youtube it so I can share it with y'all. It was awesome. Basically, he was saying that when we get knocked down to keep getting up. It's not how hard or how often we get hit, but how we take these hits, and that we have to keep getting back up! I thought it was a great message and can be applied to this losing weight thing, because YES, we are all going to fall from time to time, but the important thing is, we get back up and get back on track! If we allow ourselves to fall and stay down then we'll lose this fight and that is NOT an option!!! So, even if ya mess up, don't beat yourself up, just dust yourself off and get back on track. :D Drink your water ladies!!!! Gulp gulp gulp!!!! |
Morning ladies!
Well its Monday and normally I would post my super long message, but this morning I'm afraid I don't have the time! I have a huge project due on Wednesday and I really need to get to working on it so I have some material to share with my slacker partner tonight. So anyway. There's still some people that haven't weighed in this week and I need these people to weigh in by 10 pm EST tonight. This will be your reminder cause I doubt I'll have time to send out my pm's like I normally do. Don't know how I did this week. I barely ate my 25 points all weekend and I think thats going to hurt me tomorrow at weigh in. I also didn't drink much water this weekend either so I'm drinking a lot today and tomorrow to clean out my system. Don't worry.... I stayed on plan and that's a good thing. Still have to see where I can fit in exercise, or where I can pull the motivation to do it. I'll try to be back later to post the weekly topic and motto. If it's not today it will definately be tomorrow! :wave: |
Well I am still stuck at 134. It could be from upping my weights again with a few exercise I do. i hope to get out of this rut soon

Good morning ladies! How is everyone doing this Monday? I feel like I could sleep for a whole day. This weekend was so busy...fun, but busy and I am feeling it now! Eating and exercise were awful this weekend! I am sooo feeling it this morning. My stomach is killing me and I just feel BLAH!!!! I am eating clean this week though and pushing water water water! I don't know I had a whole dang Mother's Day weekend celebration going on and thought I could eat whatever the heck I wanted to. UHHH back on it today though and looking forward to getting back to normal over here. This week is super busy for me with running the kids around so I am going to be working out alot at home this week. I tell you with these nice days I find it so hard to get to the gym in the evening! I just want to sit out with my family and enjoy the 2 hours we have all together! Well I am off to workout, shower, and pick up my little man! Have a great day ladies!

OMG! I am HURTING!!!!
My arms, chest and back are killing me!!! I think next time I'll only do half the laps I did today til I get used to this....sniff sniff....:dizzy: |
Well, I'm back on track today. Had a great day food and water-wise. For exercise I've decided to get back into my t-tapp dvds ( www.t-tapp.com )- my sisters and I all joined a 60 day challenge. So I am going to do a "bootcamp" where I do a full body workout every day for 10-14 days and then go to every other day. Took my measurements Saturday night so I'm hoping to shrink shrink shrink! lol
Let's make it a great week 4!! |
