  • Come on Dale you have been doing so well

    I've just walked/jogged another 3mls and i'm about to make myself a nice healthy lunch things are going good i just need to cut back a bit at the weekends or at least keep it to just one day
  • healthy is good...keep it up..

    I am so busy changing the direction of my life that I failed to notice that is the beginning fo the new month...I am still at 230...but I have lost another few inches so I am happy with that

    Spring into spring and enjoy what weather we can have...a balmy 15 today and a forecast of snow for tomorrow...love these prairie springs...and flooding expected over easter...

  • I have lost 3.5" although the weight has stayed the same......but that is a great thing....

    I am busy looking at changes. I realized that, for the first time in more than 20 years, I have really no one but myself to consider. So I am applying for writing jobs all over the country...I have always said I want to write...so now I can ...reporter jobs...I have even appied for a marketing job on a cruise ship. Imagine cruising the Caribbean inciting people to shop...all the dancing I can do and free room and board....

    But I have decided that regardless, I am out of day care. The housing market here is hot and I will move downtownm if I am working in the city, and e close to thegym...I have already found a great apartment...so life is moving along...

    On the plus side, I am not eating nearly as much as I am just too busy to chow down...hopefully there will be a scale change this month....

    New goal for April.... at least 5 pounds...to 225... and another 3 inches....
  • Well Done with the inches lost Deborah with the marketing job!

    I'm having a really lazy day after a really productive one yesterday but i had a few drinks with hubby last night so i think thats why I have'nt exercised for 2 days i'm busy spring cleaning and doing stuff around the house but I'll definitely be back on track in the morning
  • Happy Friday all!!!! Though the last two weeks I have slipped quite a bit there were days that I was OP. I had a weigh-in this morning and really expected a gain of about five pounds....I was down two! I am so happy and now feel really motivated to get back on track again! I have lost 24 pounds so far and I will loose the rest!

    Thanks for the support and I too am really into the spring cleaning at this time of the year. I plan to do alot of cleaning today and I am sure that counts as exercise especially last weeks. Still a little sore from it....so I must have worked out!

    Have a great holiday weekend everyone.

  • @ hard to make a goal when you're eating like a hockey player

    Still not doing too good here between the easter eggs and working around the property (so i have no time to treadmill) i'm pretty much off the program right now weight is stable so thats a good thing at least this is a temporary gliche and i will get back on track once i've caught up with everything
  • I woke up this morning got on the scale and it told me that I had loss all the Easter weight and anonther pound! I also spent most of the last night reading posts that we all did at the beginning of the thread and CAT I have to say thank you for keeping it up.....you are the reason this thread stays alive and I am thankful you here!!!! I know you will get back on track it's already been proven that you are in it for the long haul and I am going to do my best to be there right beside you as well.


    Thanks for alll the kind words, the motivation and pretty much just for being you!!!

  • Well,

    I started a new program last week. One day butt/legs/abs and of course 30 minutes cardio and the next day all upper body and of course 30 minutes cardio...with a day off to do nothing, or of course 30 minutes cardio, ..and I am already feeling an improvement.

    My legs and arms ached, in a good way, he first few times, but they are fast becoming accustomed to the new routine...it takes longer though...almost 2 hours in total, what with waiting a minute between each of the sets of repetitions...and there are 10 exercises that I am doing...

    Fortunately, the scale has me down a pound...and that is with the ful slab of ribs I had at dinner with my X's mom last night...so I am definitely doing something right.... YEAH!!!!!!

    I hope spring is in everyone's step... and you are all doing well...and that is the reason there are so few posts these days...

  • Good Evening!!! It's been so busy at work and at home I barely have time to do any exercise because I have been trying to get it in in the eveings. But it's just not happening. I get home at 7 and still have to cook dinner....then it's really late and I am pooped. So I have set my alarm extra early and going to attempt it in the morning. Wish me Luck!!!

    Hope everyone is doing really well!!!!!
