2/12 10,111 steps!
2/13 6,454 steps.. stomach was hurting, so I didn't force myself to do more.
I think when I get to 199 I will lower what I require of myself each day to maybe 7500 steps. I just want under 200 badly. I still want to lose down to 177, but I don't care if it doesn't go as fast as it is now.. I won't change my food plan but I feel like I'm on the treadmill so much I have no life. LOL. Probably has a lot to do with being couped up inside in the winter too though. I guess when it's warmer I'll be outside more and will hit it lots easier. Ah well, we'll see.
Hello again, hope you all had a super day. Soon2bfit, I think you are doing amazing, I really do I notice you had a cheering goal each 10 lbs, but I think a cheer is in order right here and now! Your doing great!
I couldn't agree more about what you said about nice weather and getting outdoors! We are in the middle of a blizzard right now and although I am forever thankful for my treadmill, it does get or feel monotonous sometimes. When I can get outdoors and walk or hike it is so enjoyable , it doesn't feel like exercise at all, it's just so nice! It's just a matter of hanging in there now while the weather is cold, and I too truly beleive once the weather is better and we move it outdoors , it will make a world of difference! The way I am looking at it, at least we are getting primed up for t hose outdoor activities! Usually in spring (after a long sedentary winter for me) I hit the park with hubby! He takes me up some intense trails, and as much as I love being outdoors and the rush I get from it, I find myself huffing and puffing in the beginning! Who knows! maybe this time, I will lead him up those trails this spring Anyhow, just wanted to say I think your doing great and to keep it up! Some days, I do my workout with ease somewhat, other days I have to push through the whole way through! I guess that's natural, but one thing is for sure........this winter working out sure is a good primer for the spring around the corner so let's keep it up!

I'm bummed about the stall in my exercise, but it is probably wise to rest a sore tailbone for a few days. I'm afraid I'll lose momentum which usually leads to giving up....but I seem to be healing, and had some motivation from my clothing being looser. Today was much less painful to roll down the weight bench, but I'm doing mostly cardio and standing when I use my dumbbells except for chest work and push-ups.
1/2 of a session is better than no session at all, tomorrow I'll feel even better.
Everyone else's workouts are QUITE IMPRESSIVE!!!! I'm cheering for all of us too. BBL thanks for all the good wishes, I truly appreciate it.
Friday; I'm determined to work out...but it's mostly lighter cardio this week, the sweat is not running off my nose.

Hi all HOpe everyone had a nice valentines day yesterday.
Marble, so happy to hear that your feeling better : ). Try not to worry about the stall in your ex. , it was beyond your control and wise of you to rest and get better and to recover first. I understand how you feel though, I felt like that last week when I wasn't feeling well, worried if I didn't do it I would lose my momentum, etc. I'm sure that wont happen, your doing quite impressive yourself! You even managed to do some of your workout even while not fully recovered, that's great as long as you feel well enough do it and it isn't slowing down your recovery in any way. SOunds to me like your well on your way and im sure tomorrow you will be feeling even better, as mentioned

Ladies, I am sorry I missed so much recently. Marble, I am sorry you fell, but let your injury heal or you may risk doing further damage. Don't feel guilty, take care of yourself!!!
My kids have been sick (luckily I got over mine quickly), Makenna has Pnemonia and an ear infection/ Tommy is just getting over a cough and I think he may have an ear infection too (I think we went to the doctor too early for Tommy). We are going on week #2 of illnesses. I have been sterilizing and sanitizing like CRAZY. Washing linens every night, Lysoling Toys and furniture, Bleaching all hard surfaces including door knobs. I have tried to keep up with my workouts,I am not doing to terrible, I am about halfway to my goal. I hope to get in an extra long workout tonight.
jcatron, sounds like you have had your hands full over there! Glad that your feeling well now and hope the kids are feeling better too. You had all that going on and you still managed to get to about halfway to your goals? That's great : )
soon2b, my workout felt like that yesterday too! I was so tired and felt no energy to begin with as I hadn't slept while the night before and had a hangover to boot! lol I didnt know if I could get to the 20 min. mark, I had to fight like the dickens the whole way through! Anyhow, you are doing super and now it's the weekend I think everyone is doing terrific, let's keep it going and have a super weekend all.

jmc that is where I update also, on page 1. I am lucky enough to have my husband. He is able to take care of the kids while I work out. I would prefer to go workout in the morning but after we joined I got a new job I have to be there at 7 am through training and 4am once training is over. I just have to get used to working out in the evenings. I got up this morning and worked out though. Today is my first day off since Feb 2. so I am going to do some deep cleaning and sorting so I can get rid of stuff we don't need (Toys and such). HAPPY HEALTY DAY EVERYONE
Oh and an update on Tommy, I ended up taking him to the doctor yesterday and he did have infections in both ears, so with the help of antibiotics my children are on the mend!
Jeni, good to hear the kids are getting better now. I know exactly how hard it is to maintain normalcy when kids are ill. You really did do great considering!
jmc, hope ur feeling better too! I was sick but it's almost gone. Can't wait for springtime!!!
fullsteam, thanks! I feel better since I have lost back down. I am just focusing on consistency. I want to make sure I never slip up again and gain any back.
marble and dust, hiya! You are both doing great this month too!!
I want to get to 199 then I won't expect so much of myself, and I won't mind losing more slowly then. But til then I have to stay with this to lose at least 2 lbs a week.
As for me..

hi there, I'm worried! : ( My ankle started buckling a few days ago (due to old injury, a break, long story) . I felt a little kink in my ankle past few days but thank god the injury has not resurfaced! I took today off! Must follow my own advice, to get better first! im just praying!!!!!!! if it kicks up again, I can t walk (cant wear shoes, go out nothing!) and can only manage to limp along in the house barefoot due to the pain! TOmorrow if I am okay, im going for it! If I am not , I wont! ohhhhhhhhhh, I was so upset this morning! anyways, as long as I am well I will fight like the dickens! I think that the exercise is helping me in the long run and my old injury! Sorry to ramble, I have a tendency to do that! lol take care and see you soon! anddddddddddddddddd keep up the awesome awesome work so glad to be part of this team!
