And I just accidently posted that before finishing it! LOL!

I WAS off to a great start but now it looks like I'm maintaining a whole bunch of water. I started weight training yesterday (Chalean Extreme) and this morning my weight was UP 2 lbs. I know it's just a water retention thing. I did NOT gain 2 lbs. overnight, but it's still a little discouraging to see the numbers move UP even if it isn't real.

How long does it take for the fluid to go back down? I did a banana smoothie for breakfast and I'm on my 3rd 32 oz. bottle of water trying to flush out the salt etc. (I ate OP yesterday but had too much salt at dinner).

Hi bluesers!
I have stepped up the exercise this week and I feel really good about it. I have been sort of stalled for weeks now, so I am really really hoping my body will get the memo and start losing weight again. Now I just have to be in control all weekend since my WI is Monday.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Oh...I know exactly how you feel, my weight was up today as well and I am certain is all because of the extra exercise I have done.
I don't know the answer to your question, but I was asking myself the same thing this morning. I hope somebody else does!
In the meantime, I will keep drinking tons of water and maybe that'll help.

your muscles need the water to help heal. usually, they need a couple days to heal, you'll probably see it going down some by tommorrow

HEY BLUE TEAM,
I just did my 40 min workout today. My arms and butt are killing me I totally felt the burn. Well tomorrow is weigh in and I'm scaried cuz the eat hasn't been OP that much this week. I only worked out 4xs this week instead of 5. I guess we'll see what happens. Hope everybody else is doing good. Good luck with your weigh ins.

Well I really didn't want to do anything, but I got up and did my walk anyway, I feel better for it. The weekend is here, which for me means less motivation to get moving and eat right. We might go out to the movies and do a nice rounds around the mall while there using the movie as a reward for doing what I need to.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hi everyone!!!

I'm POP today and doing well. I did my 30 mins on tmill and got all sweaty before taking my son to swim team. How do you all deal with having to get sweaty before leaving to go somewhere? My hair is wet and I had to just twist it up and spray it. Plus I feel gross but there is no time to shower right after I find time to exercise which is why I usually want to exercise at night before I shower. I lost lots of weight doing that. But I have found I like to do it in mid afternoon and when Pre k starts for my daughter she'll be gone to school and I'll just be with the baby from 8-11 or 12-4 or so whichever one she gets put in. I MUST use that time to exercise. So if she has morning I may could do it once they both go to school then shower before starting my day. That might work. Hafta see.

Well, enough rambling, I'm off to finish computer work for now

Bbl, Selina

I hate that feeling too!!! It's hard when you don't have time to shower...I hate to say it but when that happens, I take a bag to the gym with deodorant, hair spray and a bottle of spray water, a little makeup and a brush. It's quick and easy and at least I feel a little better then feeling like a gym rat!!!

scarahjs and institches

What part of PA are you in?

Good evening all. Yesterday was a very tiring day for me. I took my mom to the clinic for a blood test and then we went to town. We left the house at 10:30 am and never got home until 6:10 pm. I was so tired I could have slept standing on my feet like a horse. I'm not sure how well I ate calorie wise as I was too tired to put anything into fitday but I don't think I did anything too drastic. Today I ate pretty good but did have a handful of French fries that the rest of the family was eating.

Tomorrow I weigh in so I'm hoping I'll see something positive on the scales tomorrow.

Great reading everyone's posts. So encouraging.

Clean house, yard work done for now, babysitting grandaughter overnight, life is great!!!
EXercies was really good today!! 120 min walking pushing a stroller.
Just praying this little lady sleeps so i can...

Clean house here too! 8 hours on my feet. And I still have two rooms to do. I am gonna count some time as exercise. I was sweating, for sure.

Got some other errands done too that were long over due. I'm pooped. Did Okay with food, but missing some OZ of water. Will make up for it tomorrow.

Be good to yourselves so we can have a great weigh in on Monday!

Nighters.

Wow, I really wish one of my boys still lived at home, after trying for 3hrs to download a podcast--Success!! I'm so bad at all this techno stuff, I also bought two new songs from itunes, but for some reason they are on my playlist, but not on my ipod, so strange, will have ask my youngest son tomorrow-well actually today, for some help.

I will be back later, just a quick pop in, have a great saturday, and I hope to enjoy some sunshine this weekend, 5days straight of rain, is enough.

Jacque9999-I live just outside of Allentown. How about you?

Hey Jacque, I'm another computer geek,too. I dont work in the IT field, but I'm basically the go-to person at my job...it's like, ask Ellie first before we call the technician.

Anyway...I'm curious if you might know the answer to this. My sister (who is technically challenged) had me download songs for her new iPod shuffle. So I put over 100 songs on the thing and mailed it to her (I'm in NY, she's in FL). I told her the account I had created for her on iTunes. Now, I don't know if she's using that one or she created one of her own, but she says she has been unable to add any more songs because it tells her it will delete everything that's already on the iPod. Meanwhile, I have added songs to my iPod shuffle and never got that message. Do you think she might be doing something wrong or is the problem that her playlist was created on my computer? Like, if I were to plug my iPod into your computer and try to download, would I have the same problem she has, do you think? I also think she might be trying to download stuff outside of iTunes, as she told me about a lyrics site she loves.

Did a preview weigh-in this am (official one will be Sun am)...I'm happy.

I tried to do one of my old Sweatin To The Oldies tapes last night and really didn't enjoy it. He switches moves quickly and doesn't tell you what he's changing to. As much as I've always admired the work he does, I felt like I was watching a well-rehearsed choreographed routine and I was the un-coordinated newbie with two left feet. It's hard enough for me to workout watching a tv but to have to keep my eyes on it all the time while trying to keep up just wasn't doing it for me.
