Thanks so much, I need a hot bath!!!! I came home and passed out into the DEEPEST sleep...but I had fun!

today, 1 mile...I needed a break from yesterday!

Well the weekend was disasterous in terms of eating. Really over-indulged... and hadn't even planned on it. Quite dissapointed with myself, really. Today, I'm just trying to get back OP. Really going to work hard at that this week... eating only stuff I'm allowed to eat. We'll see how that goes.

Walked 4mi yesterday on the indoor track and did it in just shy of an hour, and today I managed another 3mi, this time outside. I have decided to aim for 15 miles this week alone, which shouldn't be too hard if I stay motivated.

Nothing too exciting going on for Valentine's Day, DH has to work until 5pm and then has to work on my cousin's truck. I will be making us dinner though... probably won't eat until 8:30 or so, after Meleigha is in bed. It's nice just having some adult-alone time, you know?

You all sound like you're kickin' some butt... walkin' all those miles! FAB-U-LOUS! That's killer, ladies! Keep it up!


Lottie, you're doing amazing, girl! I'm truly impressed! Good on ya for treating yourself to a nice relaxing hot bath, you certainly earned it!

Selina, yeah, I don't particularly like weighing in three times a week, but don't really have a choice since it's how they monitor my progress (I'm on LA Wtlss). I'm thinking that I might just face away from the scale so I don't know when I'm up or down... but rather I can tell by how my clothes are fitting. Oh, speaking of which, congrats on the purchase of your new size 18 jeans! I bet you're just tickled pink, hey?! That's great work... and all those miles, wowzahs! Crazy-awesome! Keep it up!

Cathy, how'd your day of house-cleaning go? It's such a great way of getting in exercise... kill two birds with one stone, hey?! Indeed! Well, keep up the phenom work, lady!

And to all the rest of you, I hope you're all doing well! Keep on truckin' ladies! We're half way through February... and so close to reaching our monthly goals!

I should be off, but I hope you all have a lovely Valentine's Day! Take care of yourselves! Best wishes!

hey gang!

I took the day off from work yesterday to spend with hubby! We had a great day together!

So basically - I took the day off from everything - exercise, counting calories, food journal - everything.

I hope to get some exercise in during lunch today and will post it when I do.

Did anyone happen to see Oprah yesterday? I taped it and watched it late last night. It was a show about how she lost the weight. I knew it was bec she had literally been exercising her buns off - but the 4 people on her staff that committed to her and Bob Greene's program for 12 weeks exercised like crazy - 8 times a week - and they exercised HARD when they exercised - ate nothing white (potatoes, rice, bread) and ate nothing after 7:30 at night - no matter what - and drank water water water! After all of that, one girl lost 12 lbs in 12 weeks - most people would have a fit losing that small amount of weight after all that hard work (but I certainly could relate to a small loss) - dang 12 lbs in 12 weeks would be a world record for me! The heaviest guy did lose 30 lbs, but of course, he had more to lose. They really worked hard!

anybody else see it?

hope everybody has a great day!

hugs,
cathy

ok - during lunch I did 2 miles on the walking track

Feb Miles = 18.5

Can I join you ladies? I am doing the WATP dvd's -- I love them. I just started back using them last week. I have gotten rid of my pregnancy weight but now I need to get the rest of this fat off of me!! I am also trying to get in my 10,000 steps a day -- I have my pedometer strapped to me at all times. Good luck to you all!

Welcome Kendrea!
I love all the WATP stuff too!

I did 2 miles on the treadmill after work today.

Feb Miles = 20.5

Welcome Kendrea! Cute, cute baby!

I got in 1 mile at the park last night. Felt gooood. Don't know if I will get more in. I'm feeling a sickness of some kind coming on.

Hope you're all doing well. Take care - Amy

How are you all? I'm sorry I haven't been in.. so swamped lately!

Mel, Thanks! Yes, even tho the 18s are snug, it's been 9 years since I've been in that size.

Cathy, I didn't see it but I wish I had! I love Oprah. Good going on your miles!

Kendrea, Welcome! I wanna try WATP too! ^5 on using a pedometer. I love mine. I haven't gone under 10,000 a day all of February so far. I am moving my goal up to 15,000 a day for a couple of weeks to jumpstart my metabolism for a while.

Amy, hiya! Sorry u feel bad, hope your better soon!

Hi Sunny! And everyone here! Hey Lottie, Lk and Sarah!

My Easter goal is 1 1/4 inches off my chest, waist and hips. Date of goal is from 2-13-05 to 3-28-05. (7-8 lbs. off, altho I hardly ever weigh.. )

We can do this!

Hugsssssssssss!!!!!

I did 2 miles on the walking track during lunch.

Feb Miles = 22.5

Heyyy.. I added up my miles from my America On The Move program. From Feb 1st til yesterday the 16th, I'm at 89.5 miles. Yay! Over 160,000 steps. Seems like so much! Anyway, just wanted to post it, since I haven't yet. Hugs! Tty soon!

Well I got in my 4 mile WATP dvd last night but tonight is a no go. My son isn't feeling well -- I think he may already be teething. So it was a quick dinner of asparagus (lots of it) and a glass of wine. I am wearing my pedometer to work tomorrow and I'm going to try my best to get in those 10,000 steps!

Selina -- Way to go on the 89 miles! That's wonderful.

Hi ya'll. I managed to get in 1 mile last night. My boyfriend actually wanted to walk! Yeah! I'm feeling better today although I do have a sore throat. Later.

good morning gang!

Even tho I did not "feel" like it - I just did a 45 minute 3 mile WATP w/2lb weights
and then situps and double leg lifts

does it count double when you don't "feel" like it!

Hope everyone has a good day!

hugs,
cathy

Feb Miles = 25.5
