I hope nobody minds me starting the October thread!
Just relaxing a little today, just got home from McDonalds playland and I'm frazzled, those kiddies drive me nuts with their screaming! I'm glad RJ is basically a quiet kid!
Have a great day!

October already ... UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Today was a good day, a few groceries done, gym done, now I'm going to make a nice vegetable soup...

Wide I was just reading in the Fat Smash forum and something was different than the book I am presently reading, it just so happens that the book I am reading is the Fat Flush Plan silly me... I still am going to try this plan...

Is there much difference?

Good morning everyone. I'm afraid I have nothing good to report for September. Oh I have a cute little house and some of it is painted and I've got some nice decorating done but ... I'm starting October at 131 lbs.
I guess I should consider that a victory considering all the take out meals, quick snacks and um beverages we've been consuming.
October should be better. This is the last week I'm booked for five shifts and I should be able to get back into a bit of a groove with walking and so on.
Speaking of that sort of thing ... I should pack my lunch.

Since I haven't read Fat Smash, I'm not 100% sure, but from what I read on the Forum Fat Flush allows meats for the first 2 weeks... LOTS of water with cranberry juice, psyllium (sp?), drinking hot water with the juice of half a lemon before breakfast... Actually even Fat Flush will be difficult to follow for me, because they don't have a lot of protein and carbs in the first 2 weeks... I'll tweak things for me... Oh and NO COFFEE, ain't gonna happen in my lifetime, I don't drink that much anyways only 1 or 2 cups/day...

I think I really am "almost there" I've changed my weight tracker thingy in my profile and I'm not really bothered about the exact weight anyway, but THE DRESS FITS! So that's all that matters! I now have to resist complacency and keep eating right and working out. 5 WEEKS! Just 5 weeks to go!

Way to go 2f! All that kickboxing is showing!

WTG Frus on fitting into the dress! Keep focused on good food and your exceptional exercise program, and enjoy.

Since starting my w/t program I have bounced between 121 and 124. Gonna keep watching the intake and continue the running & w/t programs. Need to work my head on how I look/feel instead of a scale number.

Softballmom, have you measured,taken pics, or used the pant-o-meter?... That for me is a better gauge of progressthan that dang scale, although I do like to see the numbers go down ..

2F, keep up the great work!!

Today I did a killer leg workout , did 4 variables of squats, wide stance squats, front squats, split squats, squats, I did the sumo squats on 2 bosu balls... I didn't have time for some cardio though ... I'll make up for it tomorrow...

Today was poopy. I'm freakin sick again(must be all that healthy food I'm consuming LOL!)
Tomorrow is my night to pig out AND have a couple of drinks then Wednesday I'm starting the Fat Smash Diet.
Chat tomorrow!

Well, after a fantastic September (down 9 pounds - best month since February) I put on 2 lbs overnight from Sunday to Monday.

But AF is due to arrive next Sunday so it's probably water weight. I need to drink more water - I'm really bad at that!

My parents have a big party on the 14th October for their Ruby Wedding and it's in the day so I had to find an outfit suitable to a glam daytime 'do'. Had loads of sparkly stuff for evening but all I had for daytime is my work suits and that's boring.

So I went out shopping on Saturday and found the most gorgeous cream trouser suit in a size 12!! (That's 10 in the US!) I would never have been seen dead in a cream trouser suit before. Now my thighs are still a bit wobbly but these pants are wide leg so they skim over the wibbly bits. The jacket is really unusual - it looks normal from the front, but, below the collar, the back is open at the top and buttons down the back too.

I'm hoping I don't look like a big cream elephant - it looked really nice in the shop. And I still have almost 2 weeks to lose a few more pounds by then.

Robsia ... That suit sounds lovely, size 10 is awesome ...

I didn't do cardio today, bad girl me ... But I did have a great shoulder workout, I loved it... I did all the standing shoulder workout standing on two bosu balls, on the flat side... Totally awesome... The men always comment on my techniques it's all in good fun we laugh a lot, specially when they try to do it and fall off the bosu ...

Food was so-so...

Robsia, your suit sounds fabulous! Why don't you get a friendly person to snap a pic and post it for us to see?

Ilene - you and your Bosu!!! My new gym's got one and I could barely stand on it (getting the second foot on was the problem!) although once I was on I tried some squats, which was pretty kewl!

Oh been working out so good this week. Ate very well on Monday but yesterday was food tasting day for the wedding So I ate lots, and once I eat lots, I find it hard to not eat lots until the next day, so I ended up eating some PB cups and a bowl of cereal and some gingerbread men once I got home (for a description of the food, see LWL #275!!!)
