Just thought I would drop in to say HI!!!!
I do have a question though is anyone out there doing transFIRMation or Slimn6 I was thinking about ordering one of them but not sure which one would be better? Any feedback would be great. Thanks

I just redeemed myself somewhat for not getting in any morning exercise. I walked 40 minutes at lunch. I'm still headed to the fitness center after work.

I've not started off today very good; I woke up at 5:30am and had to do schoolwork until just now, and now I have to get ready and go to school! I will atleast walk to school and back (30mins), and hopefully can find time this afternoon for some cardio...if not, then maybe tonight after dinner. Have a good day everyone!

just doing a quick check in..will try to get back to read the thread soon (as in over the weekend most likely)

i've been OP for 3 days and busting my hump in the gym the last 2 days... heading to the gym in about 45 mins when i get off work

I did 50 min of turbo jam today
for breakfast I had 2 eggs with 1% milk scrambled
lunch I had 1 can of tuna and 1 tbs of fat free miracle whip with a slice of fat free cheese

Cold rainy day! So I will have to to a DVD since I dont like gettign cold and I refuse to get out winter coats out!

Julia~
Great job choosing to do the DVD instead of giving up on exercise because of the weather!

Girly! I am so glad you busted out of that plateau!

Quick HELLO to the Black Team from me!

I logged my first week's WI on the team thread...down 1 lb. TOM hit this week (grrr) so I'm going to assume that next week will be better!!! Working on getting all my water in today and thru the weekend to combat bloat!

Stay OP everybody and have a great weekend!

Julz-loved your blog! You are one brave lady and very inspiring! I relate to many things you said. You are really making GREAT progress, thank you for sharing your honesty with yourself!

I am in such a good mood this afternoon! I am sure it has something to do with the BEAUTIFUL spring day we are having. That and my baby seems to be feeling better today and I have been able to tolerate outside without my allergies flaring up (there is no wind/dust today) YIPEE

I did 60 min. rigorous house/yard work and a 30 min. walk to the elem. school pulling 2 kids in the wagon. I have been able to eat healthy foods today and I am not dreading the 7 hour road trip we will start tonight, nor am I dreading the infamous munchies that will be around because I CAN AND WILL take control! I will not be around this weekend, but still plan to get on and update my info for the exercise challenge.

HAPPY FRIDAY TO YOU ALL!! (she sings as she dances around the front room on her way outside to enjoy the sun)

Yuck, it's raining here again today. What was supposed to be a drizzle became a downpour about 2pm (but only for a few minutes). I finished up my exercises for the week... and I made the beach in NC. Next week I have two strength training special sessions (AMRAPs - as many reps as possible) as the end to Stage 1. I'll do those Mon/Wed, and then I'm likely going to take the week off as the book recommends. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the cardio, as 90 mins 5 times a week is getting hard to maintain (as the outside work starts). I suspect I might cut it back a bit. I'll have to see how I feel. In the meantime someone should be able to pass me on the weekend. By Sunday night I'll be at $495 unless I swim....

Other than that there's nothing going on today. I've got some bread to bake in the morning and I'll have to do the housework I've been avoiding all week. I might try doing some laundry tonight so I'm not doing it as well tomorrow. It's hard to be upbeat with such lousy weather. Hope everyone else is having a much better day!

Sucks, doesn't it? The only thing I remind myself is that if it were just a few degrees colder it could be snow! They say (but who believes them) that it will at least be sunny by Sunday.

Every pound helps, and who knows, next week might be a stellar week for you.

hey one lb is one lb my first weigh in was a measly 1/2 lb, but next week is going to be better for both of us

Anne: you are amazing-curious what workout plan you are following

What's for dinner tonight??

I believe I'm going to make some baked garlic tilapia with fresh green beans (meaning the non-canned kind... I LOVE when the green beans have just a little crunch to them...YUM) and a salad with balsalmic vinegarette. Yes, I must go get started on it, just talking about it makes me hungry.


On a side note, I watched Tom Cruise on Oprah today and I must say.... I don't feel as weirded out about him as I did 3 years ago when he was on her show. I say whichever publicist told him to do that show today should be given a raise. I think he may have redeemed himself a bit. I even found myself saying "awww" when he spoke about Kate and Suri. Go Tom!
