Forgiveness is the key! Forgive yourself and move on! There's no sense in dwelling on the past. You've done it already and you can keep doing it!

I LOVE GLEE! Best show ever, great characters, great music, etc. So, after your post I will "think" skinny thoughts lol...............I hope it works

@ Shoupfamily- Today is a new day, just start over.Don't forget of all of the progress that you have made so far.

@ Selena-

@ Soon2BFitChick-

@ Bigmid It's the thought that counts, keep on with the skinny!

@ Babygrant- You whoosh too soon

@ Weebleswooble-

@dayoneagain

@ Ms. Retire- Glad you are back on your feet again!

@ Mageorge- Don't let the weight gain get you down.

To everybody that I missed have a great today!

Oops, and to my girls Nella and Echo, you are missed by me

Afternoon ladies!!!

Welcome Tiffany!! Glad to have you here!

Mercy - How's the workouts going?? I've been working on building up my running. I think I'm going to take a different route from the calorie obsessing. I have too much else to stress over right now. When DH is allowed to work out again, it's back to weight lifting for me!

Bigmid - If you are feeling skinner, than I bet you are and the scale is just being a butthead from water weight.

Shoupfamily - Glad you are back on the wagon!!

Weebles - WAHOO!!! good for you!!!

Selina - Girl, you are the busiest lady I have ever seen! You should definitely win an award for most dedicated mommy!



OK, so like I said to Mercy, I'm going to try a different approach to this thing. I know how to eat right, so I'm going to focus on upping my activity instead of obsessing over calories. I am going to start training for a 5k. I've always wanted to be a runner, so what better time to start than the present? I did a whole mile straight last night, then walked, then .25 mile, then walked, then another .25 mile. Total was 3 miles, so half run, half walk. My asthma flared up at the end, so I had to slow it down in between. I'm going to see my Dr. about getting me a new inhaler, mines expired because I never used it. I always just avoided the activities that flared up my asthma. Not anymore!

So, let's make it a great day everyone!!!

Nella, I'm going to wait until the temps are above frizzering, then I'm going to start too.

Hi Blue Team!
Sorry I've been MIA. Well, after going through the heavier grieving in January, the flu in early February, now my L knee is hurting badly, sheesh, enough already. I've been wanting to get onto the elliptical, and I will, as soon as the swelling goes down. Man, I'm so tired of being "down" with something!!! My spirits are up though, getting better in my grief. Along with all your support, I'm sure the nice weather here and there has helped too.

Welcome, Tiffany, you seem like a real sweetheart so you'll fit right in with all these dear, dear ladies. I forgot to weigh in this past week, so one freebie down, though I do have a loss to report so it will help this next week. That's it for me for now, I'm still here.

Dora

Good evening ladies!

Welcome Tiffany!

Dora, I hope your knee feels better soon.

We are getting hit with that northeast snow storm right now. I got to leave work about an hour early...they never close early, so you know it's bad out! I am hoping the winds they predicted don't actually happen. It's only 63 in the house as it is, if the power goes out...I don't even want to think about it! I'm glad we're actually getting snow with this one (love snow), the other two storms this month totally missed us.

I need to catch Glee in reruns or on DVD. I only saw a few episodes, but I really liked it. I have 2 songs from Glee on my iPod workout playlist!

I am OP this week, hoping to get to my first mini-goal by Sunday morning!

Angela - Glad to have you back with us!! I will keep your BF in my thoughts.

Welcome back Angela!


I'm not taking a freebie this week after all as I couldn't resist a step on the scales and my efforts in the last two days have made up for my bad behaviour earlier in the week and I have stayed the same. So, 195.5 - Lowest weight of 2010.

I was back in the gym at 7:30am today and feel great. I am hoping to be out of the 190s in two weeks time. But that will only happen if I don't mess up this weekend. I'm off visiting friends and there's usually a LOT of booze around. I'm ok avoiding food, but when the wine comes out and everyone's partying that's a different matter. I am going to need some serious willpower!!

Angela-Your BF is in my prayers.....don't give up on hope!!!!

Angela. I'll keep your boyfriend in my thoughts. Are you able to get down to see him anytime soon? x 1000

Looks like I'll be taking a freebie this week unless something drastic changes.

I've been slacking lately,personal stuff going on but........... I agree with you on the calories, focus on the workouts and the rest will come, more IMPORTANTLY YOUR FITNESS.

Keep up the "good attitude" Doragone, yes things will get better with time.

Welcome back

babygrant, I could cough in a bag and send it to you, I've lost 4 pounds since Sunday...ugh. ch ach hack. it could be the blue team secret weapon.
