Whew, 30 DS L1 D3 - done. My quads still feel like they've been made into ground meat! The weird thing is that since it only lasts 20 minutes, I don't feel like I've "paid my dues" time wise. So today I did another 40 minutes on the TM in addition. That got in my one hour of exercise.

I'm totally OP calorie wise today. No little splurges today. That's big for me on a Sunday!

Mkyice: Have fun whith your hubby while he's home! What did he say about your amazing weight loss while he was gone?

Farn: You go girl on getting the 30DS and staying home on Sat night looking forward to exercise! You're building a new you! I hope your younger, stronger legs aren't as sore as mine LOL. It's going to be worth it though!

Jiggle: Happy Birthday to your baby girl! I can't wait to see pix of you in those TSP's!!

Sugar: I'll bet you'll do just fine if you were OP all during the day and then the supper at your parents. Just plan ahead that while you're there, take less onto your plate than you normally would, then eat only about 2/3 of that. Do they know you're trying to lose weight?

Ok, more personals later. My baby boy is screaming through the monitor - he's done playing and is ready to get up! Gotta get back into Mommy mode.

I gained another pound like i thought. Still from that binge 2 days ago. Hopefully I'll start losing now! 4 lbs to go!

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!! I have to admit I would be having a better one if I wasn't so dang sore from my first day of 30DS. OH MY GOD. I am in soooo much pain!!!! I went to church this morning with my mom and the whole up down up down kneel thing was killing me! haha but i'm going to do it tonight too. I want to do it every single day, just to see if I can do it. so who else is doing the 30DS on here? Susieyarb, jiggle, KDM? Are you guys doing it every single day or just fitting it into your other exercise?

sugarrox: thanks! good job on getting back on track right away after those dinners! that's always a difficult task!!!


susieyarb: haha the first day was so rough i'm terrified about doing the second day when i get home!!!! hahaha and i dont think my age helped me out at all on this one! I basically crawled up the steps after doing it. hahha

well i'm at work for another hour and then home to eat dinner and then do L1D2 of 30DS. excited and scared at the same time! I might just lay there and pass out on the mat for the night after I'm done! haha

Had a crazy weekend of food. My mom fixxed dinner last night which included one of my fave (noodle salad) and went to my friends house where they were making smores with marshmallows the size of your fist! It was fun thou.:D

Susie~ hubby was impressed and very complimentary. He has seen me at a healthy weight, and fit and active and at my highest. He has always been very loving and supportive, but I can tell he is liking my lower weight and higher energy levels :~)

Well, today is Monday, so I stepped on the scale -0.8lbs. I new I wasn't going to be happy with it before I stepped on. I am retaining water (my hands and feet are puffy). I am not sure why. TOM should be next week. I guess I need to start tracking when I am retaining water and see if it is related to my cycle or something. I am getting plenty of water and I try and watch my sodium intake. We'll see!
I hope everyone has had a good weekend and is recharged and ready for this week.

Good evening everyone. I missed you all. It was a very busy weekend but I got my workout in and ate on plan. Even today...not a single piece of cake or icing. Took lots of pics of me but can't load them because the file is too big. So I changed my avatar to show me in the TSPs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY I DID IT :carrot::carrot: I'm really proud of myself. I was trying to attach a before picture and after picture but maybe someone can tell me how to do that. My daughter had a great birthday. She didn't like everyone singing the birthday song together. It was ok for me to sing it to her but to include eveyone else did not get a hand clap.

Susie - Thank you so much for sending the jeans. I wish you had written your name and the date you sent them and we could see how far they travel. Anywho, keep doing 30Ds and it will get easier...at least level 1!!!
Farn - HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :rofl:30DS will get easier. I have yet to master level 2 but someday!!
Mkyice - Enjoy your husband. We understand. I can't imagine being away from my husband.

Well time to get the little one to bed and get ready for the week. Talk to you all tomorrow.

Jiggle~ you look great!

Jiggle you are looking good girl!! So cute about your daughter hehe

Good weekend here ladies, let's have a good week. 2 weeks to go for the challenge!!

Excited about the lung doc tommorrow & scared...Hope all goes well...Been into it with the hubby all day was to chilly for me to be outside so I got snappy with him & we have sort been at it slightly all day~DANG WEATHER & LUNGS!

HUGS TO ALL

Lori - :hug::hug::hug:Tomorrow will be fine. Don't be scared. Do like I did. While I was waiting on the dr the other day, I pulled 3FC up on my iPod touch and was able to remain calm. Cause heart trouble is not what I needed to hear when I'm doing so well on my weight. I'll be praying for you and that you get a good report.

Shyla & Mkyice - Thanks. I've been in shock all day because I couldn't believe how I looked compared to my before pictures. My husband told me to get myself together before the guest arrived because it's my daughter's birthday. LOL!!:D:D:D

Hello everyone. Well, I'm only down 4lbs right now of the 10 I wanted to lose for this challenge. But considering I have been out of the gym for two weeks, I know thats why I have such a slow loss. Plus being sick with pneamonia didn't help either. Anyways, feeling better now. Have another check up with the doctor tomorrow. Hoping to get back into the gym Wednesday night this week!!!

Just a small fyi for anyone looking for extra accountability. The Biggest Loser Summer Challenge is starting soon. Sign up deadline is in two days on May 18th by 11:59pm (AST). Its my first time leading a team after being apart of 3 challenges so I am really excited. Love all my calorie counting chicks!!

Good Morning ladies, still riding the high of fitting in those jeans and being able to go out in public with them on.

Lori - Please let us know how the Dr visit went today. :hug:

:cheers::cheers: Here's to everyone having a great week pushing towards goal. I so want to fit in all size 16 clothes by then.

Morning all!!! So I was not able to work out this morning, do my regular cardio because L1D2 of 30DS kicked my butt yet again...it is definitely a love/hate relationship! but i'm going to do my cardio after work today and 30DS before bed tonight. I'm down 6.5 pounds so far towards my goal, so I have 8.5 left!! I really hope I can make it, pretty confident that I will be able to.

lori: hope everything goes well lady!! let us know!! :)

jiggle: you look great!!!!!!!!

shan: hey that's still a great loss considering everything that has gone on!! plus we still have 2 weeks left!!! :)

well i'm off for the day, everyone have a good day and stay OP!!!! :)

I DID IT ~Weighed my 155.2 exactly today YIPPIE! Now working on the other stuff.:D

Today my daughter is 17 ~Happy Birthday to My Camila(Pronounced like pamela but with a "C"~We call her Cami)


Just got back to the Lung doctor~he ordered a bunch of tests~A cat scan of chest (lungs) For the 20th Of May~Echo ~something or the other(heart) For June 1st then an appointment back with him on June 25th o 28th I will have to recheck(the date of that one) anyways that one to discuss the results of everything~although if something Really bad shows up in either I will be called before the last appointment I was told.~So Not exactly the results I wanted today But I will figure it all out soon enough ~HOPEFULLY! Only thing he really said is after he heard me breathe well if ya have asthma u can always move to Florida~HAHAHA~Ughhhhhhhhh ~Please God Let this doctor figure me out~i know he was just trying to put me at ease but I was in no mood for jokes I wanted answers~Next month I should have answers>~FINGERS CROSSED!
Off to lay down a bit I am worn out~the cold air here today has done a number on me & I gotta go to the library soon.....UGHHHHH~Gotta be nice all day too cause my daughter stayed home for a free no day of school for her birthday~& Yes ~I called to tell my hubby everything they said & did before I got home ~DARN ME FOR LOVING HIM LIKE CRAZY~LOL
I hope we do not fight today ~it was minimal yesterday but I hate anything to do with fighting.HUGS!:hug:

JIGGLE! You look awesome in those TSP's!! I got tears in my eyes seeing you wearing them so well! You look great girl!! You've got such a tiny waist, I don't think I ever looked that good in them LOL.

Farn: I'm committing to myself to do the 30DS for 30 consecutive days. I'm going to do level one until I can do it absolutely continuously so I may do it more than 10 days before moving on to level 2. Today was day 4 for me and it was soooooo much better. I'm going to believe Jillian when she says day 5, 6, or 7 I'll be amazed at my endurance. When I woke up this morning, my quads weren't nearly as sore - they were markedly better. It didn't kill me to sit on toilet LOL.

Krista: Did you ever take the pg test?? Wondering about you!


Lori: I'm glad to hear you did well at the doctor, but sorry to hear it's going to take so long to get answers. Isn't that the way it always goes? Hooray for you making your goal of 155.2!! Happy birthday Cami!

Shan: That's great about your hubby, mine is like that too. He loves me no matter what which is one reason I think I let myself go for so long. But like your's I think he's liking this new me a lot too ;o)

I'm dying to know if JDonato has gotten engaged yet! Has anyone heard from her?

So, for me, like I said above, I did my 30DS L1D4 this morning and it was alot better. Not easy by any means and I'm still way sore. But it's getting better. I see a big difference in my ability to do the push ups and I'm doing better on the butt kicks too. Nearly kickiing my own butt, but still pretty much with Anita on those.

Calorie wise, I'm keeping it w/in my 1400-1600 this week and being able to stick with it pretty well. I'm not weighing again until Friday.

For our Mem. Day goal - since I already met my goal, I'll most likely weigh in on the 25th or 26th because I'm going to be on about day 2 of TOM on Mem. Day and who wants to weigh in on TOM!?!

Ok, gotta run get my makeup on and dry my hair before picking up DD from school and heading to the grocery store! Y'all have a great afternoon!
