Hey all!
Yesterdays walk was less than enjoyable. This is a first. I took the baby in the jogging stroller @ about 5pm. It was supposed to be 80ish, AHH NO! It was 90 ish. My water was gone before we were 1/2 done and I was nauseus by then. Sweating like the devil! I'm cool with sweating but I could not breath! 4.5 miles done and I had to lie down before my shower. Ended up with a migrane all night into late this evening. I was nauseus all day. And TOM came over this morning, thats prolly the culprit of it all. I managed to keep our photo appt and got the babies 6 month portraits done, see signature. I'll be back at it tomorrow, today was another mis-predicted temps, weather man says mid 80's its mid 90's. I'm still not 100% but I wanted to check in.

Sorry to hear you walk wasn't fun yesterday Stevi. I have those days as well. It gets really hot here and humid. I have to leave early if I don't want to have a headache all day and get sick : (.
Just think fall is just around the corner! Perfect walking weather!!!
I just got back from my walk... 6 laps and it took 65 mins. I had to talk myself into it but once i got there it was ok. I still have those days where I could easily give this all up and go back to bed in the morning. heh i'm not a morning person.
Also down a pound. I went up 5 pounds a few days before my TOM but now I'm down a lb then a was before my TOM gain!!! Thank goodness. I can't wait to see the 220's! I was able to get my size 18 jeans on and button them!!! BUT I couldn't sit lol my legs wouldn't bend lmao. So i laughed instead of getting frustrated. I remember a month ago i couldn't even get them to my waist so i'm happy.

Well i'm off time for some yoga <ouch> hehe.

oh! I almost forgot, I love those pictures Stevi, your little boy is adorable!!! he looks like he is very very happy.

Everyone ok?
Did my 6 laps this morning. I counted my steps manually with my brain! lol it was 1,322 Catrina steps around the track. I do that 6 times at the least and lately only 6 laps <sigh>. Not sure how many steps are in a mile, seems the estimation varies on the net. I went with 4.0 miles an hour, 1,996 steps equals a mile. They say that faster that you go, the less steps you take, due to longer strides, so the steps per mile goes down after 4.0 miles an hour. 6 laps equals 7992 steps making 4.0 miles walked in 6 laps. I didn't realize i'd be dead on with my guessing. I am so happy to know how far i go. It was hard counting them while my 12 year old was talking in my ear.
I am whooped today though. I walked fast becuase we got out 15 mins late so i was behind on everything this morning.

Hope you all are doing well. Been kinda quiet in here for a couple of days..

Hey there Catrina, Glad to see youare religiously posting here!!! I am very sorry I haven't had the time to post lately, this is my busiest week of the summer, for the next 10 days I am going to be struggling to handle life in the "real" world, and probably won't be on here much, if at all, Thanks Woman, for keeping our accountability, and motivation alive!!!! I am really stressed out right now, and haven't walked for a couple of days, I was on call last night and ended up working most of the night... Lacking sleep makes me want to eat!!!! Dang it!!! I am too tired right now to walk even!! I haven't lost my motivation, I will get back at this, I just need a little break to "handle" the other stuff in my life. Keep posting ladies!!! Love to hear what your lives are like! I will update you when my life calms down to a dull roar again!!

Hey gals!
I'm here, just really busy weekend. Haven't exercised since Tue....BAH! Thats the longest I have gone in MONTHS!! See you all Mon.

I did my four-mile library walk today before going to a bridal shower and eating a reasonable amount of pasta but a full piece of cheesecake.

I walked a mile with a friend after dinner on Thursday night, then did some Billy (Tae Bo) yesterday. I'm on a mission to get in a good hour's worth of cardio exercise every day for the next two to four weeks!

good morning. Walked this morning and boosted myself up to 7 laps now. I then did some weight training. Now I want a nap. : P I can't have one though. Not with a 3 year old around here. Lmao last time i took a nap with 3 year old on the loose (nap was an accident) there was black magic marker on her head to toe, and the carpet, and her bed..... Nope gotta stay awake.

Catrina, haha, yes it's more worth it to suffer through a tired day than to get a much-desired nap and have to de-marker a 3-y-o and surrounding area.

I did 40 min on my stationary cycle yesterday morning, then I did a 60-minute pilates/cardio video (ouch) last night. Tonight I may walk to the library again, or if I have to I'll do exercise in the house. I have an insanely busy week.

I made it out yesterday and did my 4.5 miles....After running about half a mile my side was killing me! OMG what a wuss! I had to run and walk multiple times as the pain was killer. Teach me to slack off. Today I'm prolly gonna lay off the running. The diet is leaving alot to be desired. Well, I'm not ON plan but I haven't lost my mind either. TOM has been here since Wed. and he is not letting up. This is the worst I have had since giving birth to DS#2. I'm also finda in a funk about being at the half way point. I keep trying to see it as a good thing but my mind always goes back to " I just have to do it AGAIN." No gain, but no loss. Geuss I can't complain. We where out to dinner Thur, Fri, AND Sat!!! I knew it was gonna be bad, but it wasn't that bad at all!
Phantastica~ You are so tearin' it up !! Great job!
Catrina~ WTG on increasing your distance. I remember buying a pair of 18's right after DS#2 birth and I couldn't get them past my knees!! I don't know what I was thinkin'. Pretty cool your back in them now!
Where's Ducky?

Did 4 miles to the library this evening! Nice night out.

I also went bra shopping and bought a bra in a D cup instead of DD. Yay!

Ducky is trying to reall all this and stay awake!!! I am not gonna have the opportunity to post til next week sometime ladies!!! SORRY, super stressfull show season right now til Next MON!!!!! Wish me luck, motivation, and accountability!!!! I am right there with ya ladies, sweatin ma buns off in the mental form!!!!! Thanks for thinking of me and for keeping the faith here!!!!!Keep up the good work, and keep on truckin!!!!!!

Good morning. Did only 6 laps today. My legs decided they didn't want to go with my idea of things this morning. But I crawled my way through. I walked 7 laps yesterday but didn't post anything. I'm catching myself starting to slack... : / Hopefully i'll get out of it soon. Even fit day has been neglected... I really hope days like these are less and less as the pounds drop and the muscles bulge. Glad to see everyone is doing good though!!
Ducky~cant' wait to see you back in the groove!!! Darn life for getting in the way eh?

Yeah me too.
I'm doing fine exercising its the food log and logging the exercise I'm struggling with....Today is a new day.

Yesterday, I did 40 minutes on the stationary bike, but only after I had a frustrating experience with a job interview, and then a binge involving barbecue-beef sandwiches and cheese. Where is my resilience? The job interview problem solved itself the following day and is now water over the dam. Meanwhile, I'm 800 calories overboard for yesterday. Oh yes, I totally thought of how convenient it would be to NOT log yesterday's food.

Today I'm back 'on plan', and tonight I plan to do something, maybe that Pilates vid.

Did you get a pedometer yet, Catrina?

Had a really good walk/jog today. Jogged 1 full mile out of the 4 and only walked it twice! Thats somethin' for me. Did our 4 miles in 58 minutes which is a personal best with the stroller as it slows me down. I 'm gonna hit the gym tomorrow and get some strenghth training in. And I logged everything! I'm incorporating alot of new foods so it was a pain but it gets easier as you go.

Phantastica~ Shawn Cassidy is STILL Hot! Grrrarrr! I barely remember the Hardy boys on in prime time but my older sister loved it! YAY on the DD!! Mine a deflating sooo bad. Still wearing the 34F but I've hiked the straps up a bunch.
