Week 5 here we go!

Lets get moving, and keep our food under control!!!


I got myself a treadmill on Saturday. This way DH can workout before or after work, and it will take some of the challenges I feel facing myself after work.

I've been home sick now two days in a row. I hate having my blood sugar all whacked out. Eating carbs at night is helping my Blood sugar, but not my weight loss. As long as I am healthy I okay with it.

W 80 oz
E 2 sets of 35 minutes on my tread. I cant go to the gym since I am home sick, but I can walk on the treadmill!
E 1500 cals. 15-30 carbs per meal
D taking it easy.

Hey ladies -

Ugh they've forecasted more snow and freezing rain for tomorrow - I'm so done with it! Doing good, we go for our official 20 week ultrasound on Thursday morning. Foods been decent, I have my good days and not so good ones, still holding around 172 so hopefully we'll stay there for a bit.

Jeni - hope you're feeling better soon! Enjoy the new treadmill

Hope everyone has a great start to their week!

emily & mother mavis. i will be thinking of you the next time i walk on the beach. lol its so sunny today but i dont have the time to go to the beach. so much to be done..

Hello All!!

Finally got back to Zumba class last night after being sick for so long. it was a really good workout and I got my weights in. we had freezing rain today so my boss told me to go ahead and stay home! YAY! But the gym is open so I may just bundle up and go ahead and go work out - it will be deserted so all the machines will be for me!! i am holding steady at 246!!! I think I need to increase the amount of calories I am eating, I find I drop a bit more weight when I think I am eating badly - very weird.

JC - i wish i could fit a treadmill in my apartment, but it is the size of a postage stamp, I hope you feel better, and yes being healthy is much more important.

Tiara - hang in there!! you have come sooo far! you can do it!! When I have bad days when I feel like I am doing horrible, I put on a piece of clothing that I wore when I first started, and when I see it hanging off of me I feel better and my motivation goes back up. *hugs*

W - 64oz+

D Focus on the good

Hi ladies.

So the good thing about having a treadmill is that I can workout whenever I want. The bad thing, I get easily distracted. Yesterday was my normal gym day, but I skipped the gym because I was working on my house. I got on my treadmill, but It took me 3 times to make it to 30 minutes. I just have to remember it is still me time.

W 64 oz
E 35 minutes
E 1400 cals
D find a balance at night with carbs.

jeni.. im like that too.. i love the treadmill because i can log everything down to the calories i burned. But i must admit i take more breaks then i would on a outside mile..

Where is everyone i miss the chatter...

Well i did good to day . i stuck to my plan and got my exercise in before 11pm. it helps too when you you have the day off of work..lol

Fly by.. . .Weights ok, blood sugar okay. Tommy really sick. Taking care of him. I will post after he is asleep.

Hi guys.

So since I added in more carbs, my sugar levels have steadied out. And I have even lost about a pound so I feel good about that too. I love my treadmill, but it is not replacing my gym. But it has eased up my after work stress a bit. Tuesday and again today I wont make it to the gym because Tommy has such a bad cold I cant take him to the childcare room. Next week when he is back in school I will get back to my old routine at the gym!

Makenna's first basketball game is tomorrow, it will be interesting to say the least, they have only had 2 practices.

I'm in full disneyland planning mode, got my tickets and hotels reserved. We are driving so I am getting plenty of entertainment stuff for the kids. We will spend 2 days driving down and 2 days driving back. I have side of the road scavenger hunts, bingo, portable DVD players, color books, nintendo DS's, Ipod touches (yes gifts from my father, they love them!) Mak will have 5 days worth of homework to do, plus writing in a journal every day. I also have workbook sheets for My Tommy.

I should be able to post when I am there, but only briefly. Of course its 5 weeks away so we will be in a memorial day challenge then!

W 80 oz
E at least 3 miles on the treadmill!
E 1500 cals

JC OMG how FUN!!!!! Road Trips have come such a long way since I was little, all I had were books, mad libs and the eye spy game!!
I have serious cabin fever - roads are horrid so I have been in the house, Sam has been home from school all week but he is outside today in the snow.
