Excellent, Beth! Now, log that exercise in our exercise thread!!!

OMG i love this thread. . you all are such an inspiration.

my small victory. i worked out for 10 minutes on my stair stepper.. i may have to stop every two minutes for a 1 minute break but i did it! 10 minutes. and boy am i light headed... wobbly... LOL I LOVE IT! (BTW i havent worked out in about 2 years...)

i love hearing all of your victories. i can realate to all of you in a way.

keep it up all!

today my victory was stepping up to 40 minutes on the treadmill instead of the usual 30! woohoo

wikky, i'm just curious, how do you burn off 2488 calories?

I'm guessing that includes your basal calories for the day?

My mam offered me the last bit of her Coke and I said NO. She seemed gobsmacked too

Heather, I logged my exercise minutes in the exercise thread!

Beth -- Yay for logging your minutes! You did great!! Keep it up-- exercising AND logging!

And it looks like there are others who are exercising and could help us out. What do you say ladies??

I am sorry I took so long to get back to you!

the 2488 includes my basal calories for the day. I am using the BodyBugg system which I love (except for today-ugh!)

Mine Victory is an extra workout today. I did an hour on the trainer bike which was my planned exercise and hour and 9 mins on the treadmill extra (3.5mph on incline) I just about hit my calories target burned for the day (2850 also bodybugg tracked) but my treadmill workout was after midnight, so really I topped that off pretty good.

Are all the exercisers posting on the exercise thread?! That's a victory too -- we really need everyone's help to make our goal (over 205,000 minutes for the year!)

Today my house is cool and its super cold outside for KY. I Know its nothing compared to many of yall are dealing with . I love to bake on cold day but I am not baking today so thats my VICTORY!!!

Heather - I'll post mine at the end of the month on the exercise thread. I know its not as much fun watching it go up daily, but I'll forget to post it otherwise.

I forgot to eat before I left for work today around 2pm and had to stop somewhere and get something I could eat on the road. I was tempted to go to McDonald's and get a burger (or two) but instead went to taco bell and got a bean burrito, and that was all. I would usually eat a burrito, a few tacos, and some other stuff. Not this time! It was filling and only 350 calories

I would have to say that my victory of the day would be joining 3fc. Thanks everyone for your support!!!!

I have a couple I guess...

1) i'm back , been lurking a lil off and on last few weeks.
2) bought an exercise bike today ( and plan on using it tomorrow once I find something to make seat a lil more comfy- gonna try a pillow..)
3) bought Special K cereal and snacks as well as 1% milk ( I rarely eat cereal or drink milk)
4) bought celery and a bunch of fruits and told kids which ones was theirs and to keep their hands off mine! ( they usually eat it all before I have a chance to)

I already drink 100 Ozs of water a day and eat a low cholesterol diet (hubby has high cholesterol), But i am thinking of seeing if I can drink a lil more water as well.

Hopefully I will be back tomorrow to say I exercised and started the new Special K thing..

Stormie -- Welcome Back!!!

And I hope we can persuade you to log your exercise minutes on the 300+ exercise thread!!!!!! We need everyone's help to pass our 2007 goal of 205,000 minutes exercised! We can DO it, but need all participation!!

Today Ive made apple muffins with drizzle icing and Ive not had a crumb or licked any spoon! Usually I would have eaten a muffin straight from the oven!
