I can't believe I didn't get to watch TBL this week, I am having bad TBL withdrawal!

I fully intend to get in at least 75 minutes tomorrow!

But didn't you put a daily limit of 60 minutes that we can count towards our weekly challenge? I missed monday's workouts - but luckily i can still average them out for the remaining tues-sat (since i dont workout on sundays) for under the max daily limit.

Ms Perception 11-04-2009 08:48 AM

AW-I took the limit as for the week. So, you don't need to go over 420 for the week, which averages to 60 min a day. If you don't workout daily, you can still go over 60 min on certain days, but stay under 420 for the week.

MonteCristo-Do you workout everyday? I take a planned rest day once a week just to rest my muscles (legs especially). Don't beat yourself up over it, you can surely get in your minutes still!

Today has started well. I got in my healthy breakfast, water, vitamin, and exercise. Now, I'm about to head out for a day with my mom. We're getting haircuts and hopefully doing a little shopping. I could use some nice casual pants in my size. Well, I hope all you fine ladies have a fantastic, healthy day!

Well I did, sort of. The limit was that you didn't have to add the 10% once you got up to 420 minutes for the week (average 60 minutes per day), but you could still do more. I knew I didn't make that clear enough. See the challenge is to increase your previous week's exercise by 10%, but I didn't want to kill anyone (lol), so you don't have to go over 420 minutes per week, but you still can if you want. Sorry for the confusion.

I don't have a planned rest day, because unplanned ones seem to pop up, so I'd end up "resting" way too much. ;) I don't do much intense exercise, usually just walking, or stepping, so I don't usually have problems with sore muscles. I'm sure I can still get my minutes in, I just hate having to put a big fat 0 down on all my progress charts. :mad: I'm also kind of nervous about my impending birthday (Saturday). We are having cake at work on Friday, then the family is gong to have cake on Saturday, plus a special birthday meal.............I'm already hanging on to extra water weight since I started back to running, and I don't want to totally throw off my weight loss.

That is good to know. I've never seen an episode of BL (don't have tv) and I was thinking it was about time I watched some. :D

Cape Breton Chick 11-04-2009 11:34 AM

Hey everyone... I want to apologize for not being too active the last few days.. i have been in alot of well i wont say pain, but discomfort. II have had bowel problems... severe bloating and last night I woke at 3am after having a horrible time getting to sleep and when I went to the washroom,.. what I thought was diaherrea turned out to be blood... so I spent the remainder of the night etheir in the tub filed with hot water to ease the pain in my tummy, or curled up on the floor mat int he bathroom. I went to the doctor this morning and he ran a whole bunch of xrays and blood work. He is testing me for Didiverticulitis, Crohnes, and Celiacs Diseases. He is sure it is one of them. So I am now on two differant types of antibiotics, and then I have to go back to see him and have a colonoscopy scheduled to narrow it down to which inflammatory bowel disease it is. I am so good with my diet too because i know that white flour and lot of sugar bloat me badly. But with Halloween (cheesies) in the house on Saturday, and then left overs from a bake sale on Sunday... I did not eat MUCH of those things but ate too much for how my body reacts to it i guess... aghhhh today I am sticking to water and mild food.. broth, jello.. type things.. as I am even having a hard time eating those things. I am heading to work now as even though I am so exhausted laying down increases my discomfort so I may as well get paid to stand .. I also am going to take myself out of the Week 8 Challenge as I know I will not be able to meet my exercise goal at this rate... Hopefully by the weekend I will be back to normal and will hit it hard next week.. thanks for understanding guys!! lol Sorry again for being MIA.. be back this evening :grouphug:

Hope your dr is able to find out exactly what the problem is with you Angela and can get you feeling better soon. Being sick and uncomfortable is never fun.
Good luck with everything. (((Hugs)))

I'm almost totally converted to a vegan diet now. The last two weeks have been busy for me. I got sick of course at the end of October and ended up in the er, then that weekend (which was not this weekend but the previous one), my car had trouble. So, ended up getting new tires and an alignment on the car. Then, last Friday, I got sick again! This time, it was a fluish bug that lasted until about Saturday. I got my flu shot, but I guess it was something not in the shot. Anyway, I'm finally doing and feeling better. And, trying to get back into my workouts again since I've been slacking.


THATS GREAT!!! a vegan diet can be challenging but if you need any help let me know!! im glad you are feeling better now, that sounds like a rough few weeks!

Hello all! i havent been here in a little while, ive been so busy with work, i do most of the swing shift it either 10 to 7 or 11 to 8, so no time for anything but the gym! i think that i am retaining a lot of water, im not sure if its number one or number two lol but either way its one of them and it always gets me down! :?: i believe i have IBS but never been tested for it but it has made last week and this week a little difficult. i hope this week gets better for everyone! well this is my chatter for the day i will be back though tomorrow since i am getting my wisdom teeth pulled YAYAAAA lol maybe that will help my weight this week lol jeee anywho, have a great day!

Monte~ Thank you for posting the results! Did you get your workout in today?

Ms Perception~ I’m excited for you because I really think you will reach your maintenance weight before the end of the challenge. Thank you for the encouragement! I feel you on wishing I could undo a couple days. I got the best sweats at Walmart last week.

ArmyWife02~ The everlast step kit sounds really cool! Awesome job with your workouts!

Cape Breton Chick~ :hug: I hope you feel better!

MrsVegan00~ yikes! Good luck with your wisdom teeth!

Mommyofsix~ I’m going to use a lot of WW strategies as I do very little of the holiday cooking. Things like smaller plates, making sure to ask at family dinners that the food be covered when it’s on the table, and drinking lots of water before, during and after dinner. The 100 cal popcorn with light caramel sounds super yummy!

RangerChic~ Yikes! I hope you’re feeling better!

Igetfit~ Thank you! How is your retreat so far?

dcapulet~ How do you think you did on your midterms?

shan84~ How did your yoga classes go?

Sunnigummi~ Congrats on your loss!

I feel like I’m breathing fire right now as I’m quickly relapsing, but unfortunately in the form of fever, aches… did I mention that I work in a school that is currently starting to have issues with the swine flu? I couldn’t get vaccinated because there were no vaccines when I finally felt better… so… I’m a little annoyed right now as I have a feeling I know what’s coming, but am crossing my fingers that I have been boosting my immune system enough over the past few months to fight it off. So on that note… I’m going home and taking a nap!

JasonsLea 11-04-2009 05:31 PM

:wave: girls!

Angela ~ I hope the doctor pinpoints something soon and you get better! :hug:

Sorry I've been MIA. My body is rebelling against the hour change and schedule change. I am so not a morning person! The new job is a mind challenge for sure. TOM finally decided to show his face (2 weeks late!) which is good and bad: good because it means I'm ok, bad because...well, it's TOM! :lol: My WI for this week is out the window for sure. :dz:

just got back from a good walk. it's in the 70s here in central TX - so perfect weather to be out walking. I put my DS in the stroller and pushed him up the school to get my DD from school, then we walked to the community center so i could use the 2 machines that were on my workouts list for today (arm extension and chest press) which only took 2 minutes. lol and let the kids play at the playground when i was finished. then headed home.
was a definite workout considering i was walking up and down hills pushing my son in a stroller (probably about 50 lbs together)....total walking time was 45 minutes in 2 miles (my daughter jogged to keep up with me - but had to stop for traffic a few times, plus the stroller doesnt hop the curbs well). so i'm pleased about getting some miles in today :) and my arm workouts. still need to do my recovery workouts, and might do some wii pit plus before dinner. will be nice to get outta my shoes to relax :) lol

shan84 11-04-2009 05:40 PM

I taught 8 yoga classes between Mon-Wed this week. They all went really well. I'm trying really hard not to get sick right now. South Korea's government has raised their H1N1 alert to red, the highest level they have. I was supposed to teach kindergarden yoga today and tomorrow but the schools backed out. So now I have only 4 classes to teach over the next 2 days. They are all music classes. I've made plans to go to the gym tonight again to work out, and I have a 2 hour session with a personal trainer on Saturday morning for my last chance workout.

Hope everyone is doing well.

IgetfitNStrongforme 11-04-2009 06:58 PM

Mercy03: Thanks.

Monte (Antonia): You don't have a TV, WHAT???!!! Wow I couldn't survive I am just making it now... LOL

KimL: I am having TV withdrawals big time, I never realized how much TV I much watch, but it's all good.

JasinLea: But next week your weigh will be great Just think about that!

Cape Breton Chick: Did they check for a bacterial infection because that sounds like food poisoning (e coli). I will pray God heals you and that you feel better soon. :hug:

Ms Perception: How does it feel to be a SIZE 8? I hope you are shouting that from the roof tops, congrats!

ArmyWife02: You are a workout machine!

MrsVegan00:Do you have any vegan recipes you can share with us. I have stopped eat beef and pork. I can't eat unfermented soy because of the estrogen thing but if I could love me some morning star patties.

Mommyofsix:What are the ages and sexes of your kids. I have been meaning to ask for a while. My hat is off to you for having six kids!

RangerChic:I hope you’re feeling better soon. The flu this years seems to be very strong even without the H1N1 strain!

Dcapulet: Yes, how do you think you did on your midterms?

Shan84:H1N1 wow, are they freaking out over there? I hear China is super worried.

Sunnigummi: Congrats on your loss! :woohoo:


I had a jelly donut today! I am not bad but my food choices were bad! LOL
