Well as far as working out I find that I can stick to things and don't get burnt out if it is fun and I don't feel like I am forcing myself to workout all the time. I love Zumba and classes so I get pushed but I can't always catch a class The thing I love most is Hooping!!! Yep with a hula hoop.. hooping... and no they are not the same hoops we had when we were kids. These are big girl hoops and you can purchase them online in a thousand different locations but you can also make your own it's pretty simple and FUN! You can be any size and hoop, it's a FULL workout believe me. I love that I can hoop inside or outside and to music or just bymyself at night in front of the TV! woo woo I have never taken a video of me (never want to see what I look like on film) but I will shortly and post it up. BUt here's someone doing it so well.
*** ugg sorry.. it won't let me post a link.. till i have made more posts.. I will try and post it later down the line*

There's so much you can do with this and I promise you will be dripping when you are done and use muscles you have long since forgotten about. I love teaching new people to hoop!

Tingle: hooping huh? Too bad I'm not coordinated enough! That sounds like so much fun.

I got the man to buy me a biggest loser game for Wii since he was buying games from the kids. I want to test it out tonight. When I get back from vacation next week (a weekend at Hershey Park with the fam), I am going to start 30 day shred. I want to be consistant.

Last night I binged out. Like big time. I'm still ashamed of it. Today I went out to eat for dinner (didn't have time to really eat much all day). At least I got some protein and veggies in, though I could have done without the strawberry daiquiri and french onion soup. They were really good. I'm not going to lie. Tomorrow is back to the grind.

Hooping sounds like a blast! I'm pretty uncoordinated too Tingle, but I have a theory that the more you practice, the more your coordination can improve. I'll definitely have to check it out!

Sorry I've been MIA ladies, I've had a rough end of the week, with 4 migraines in as many days, so I have not done well on my goals either. This week I gained 2 pounds, so I'm at 236. Boo

Hoping you ladies did much better than I did, stay with me, I need the support!

I weighed yesterday at 247 AGAIN.

After 4 days of calorie confusion (and thankfully not gaining any weight from it), I ate cleanly yesterday and my weight finally decreased this morning. WHOO HOOO!

I hope everyone is doing well and trying their hardest

lagordita: Hope your migraines have disappeared and you're doing fantastically with the dieting...

Same for everyone else.

I'll be away Sun, so I will be weighing in Mon

Hey guys!! WOW sorry I have been MIA. We went on vacation and then this past week.. well the week from **** I tell you. I won't ***** and moan and go on about it but I didn't workout and I didn't eat right. So as of right now I am getting back on the wagon that i just fell off of. It might have to circle back and pick me up but I am a gettin' back on!!!
