I rode my exercise bike for 18 miles this morning (78 mintues) and am about to go back and do more...deciding whether to bike, do a DVD or demand workout, or both.

So, could feeling lightheaded when I exercised be from the sugar detox? I am a sugar addict I kept going with it until I lost my balance and fell over and couldn't see clearly from being so dizzy one day, scared me. What I do now is almost exactly what SB phase 1 was, except for the fruit and some limited whole grain carbs....okay, so kind of like SB phase 2 maybe.

hope she feels better soon.

WOW!!! that's totally awesome!

Congrats. 78 mins is awesome. I'll be spending a lot of time on the indoor bike this winter too (either trainer or spin bike) My backside isn't going to be too happy for some reason riding indoors is always harder.

Hi all!!! I've been a little busy packing and getting stuff b/c I'm moving supposedly 11/1 so I'm trying to be ahead of everything....

I hope everyone is doing well and staying on track. I'm trying...but stress makes it me eat...NOT GOOD!!!

Hello everyone,

well I am not starting off the challenge on a good foot. My knees were bothering me today so I didn't workout today. I am hoping I have a better day tomorrow.

Bev

Ahhh! Don't tell me that. Know I'm going to want to try it the next time I go to the mall. I guess it's better than wanting the seven layer bar from one of the coffee shops that I used to get.

Hi Blue Team. I'm very excited to do this challenge. I am doing the Ideal Protein diet. I have lost almost 40 lbs. and have about 50 more to go. I am also doing the C25K. I just finished week 2 day 1.

Good luck to everybody!

Hi all!

So I've started watching my carb intake per the instructions of my nutritionist. So far so good. I'm suprised by how many things have carbs in them! I really feel good about this and I'm glad to be a part of this challenge again.

Hope you all have a great day!

Starting out backwards and riding the coattails of DIVA! Gonna throw out a "ditto" on the shout outs! Add your name if its not listed. I gotta limit my time here and get some sleep or I'll be the fat chick at the end of the challenge!

Right back at ya!


Bev - our knees must be on the same plan. I just listened to my groan and creak for all 45 minutes of my exercise. Reminded me that this is not the weight my body likes! We can do it! Knees or no knees!

You make Lance Armstrong look like a sissy! You go girl!

amouse ~ hope the little one is better soon!

Certifiably insane woman! But what a great thing to take on! Can't wait for the report back on how much you .

I am off to post my exercise and food. I did well today considering I had an ice cream cake I had to take to work and watch my coworkers eat.
(I love broccoli. Just keep telling yourself that Kris... You love broccoli.)

Off to bed chicas! Tomorrow is another chance to get healthy!

How many a day Jen? I'm trying to find a good number. Apparently 150 isn't doing so great with my blood sugar. *sigh*

I have to ask for Prayers for Jesse's (my FH) Mom Carol and keep'em coming. She was air-lifted to the Hospital tonight up in PA. She has 2 artery blockages in her neck and was scheduled for surgery in 2 weeks and now this. We don't know if it was a stroke or a seizure...We just don't know. Jess and his Dad are both a mess. Jess threw away his smokes tonight and vowed never again. Thanks. ♥

hi bluebies

the last few days havnt gone too well with the food part of this for me.. not that i have over eaten, quite the opposite.. i have two abcessed teeth, and am getting em yanked out on wed.. so i havnt been able to eat too much really, nor exercise. i did go for a walk today tho. wed im sure i wont be eating or exercising, but hopefully by thurs ill be feeling better. i have a great dentist so we shall see.

hope everyone is doing well

Diva-Hugs and Prayers to your FH and his Mom

*******
Hope Everyone is having a wonderful First Week/OP and Exercise Wise!!

Great Start For Me-was spot on everything today.

The weather here has turned and it's cold enough in the am for my favorite breakfast - stone cut oatmeal. Yay!

I'm doing the 30 day JM rotation that is on Exercise TV, so am scheduled for 30DS Lvl 1 today and will also do some add'l cardio.

I'm trying to follow the diet / exercise guidelines from the book that the Dr. on Biggest Loser wrote in which he recommends 1 hr of cardio in the am and weight lifting in the pm. Since I am at home all day, should be doable, especially since our DSL line is down at the moment and I have to use a dial-in connection. Sigh. I miss my speedy, always ready connection!!

Have a great day, everyone!

I must limit my intact of sodium. I had Vegetable Paradise without the rice... I substituted quinoa instead and gave my egg roll to someone else....scales wasn't a good to me as I have come to expect so ......

Diva.....prayers and good thoughts comining your way for FH and his momma. Sorry if I missed anyone but I don't real well with names....maybe as we progress I can do better.

Morning Blue Team

Just dropping in to say HI. Hope everyone is doing well. I did ok yesterday. Had a fight with a small bag of frito's and it won but got right back on plan after that. I know it was only 160 cals but if I let myself start eating junk that is all I will want to eat.

Have a good one!
