Hi Chickies
 

Great day so far - still gotta work on water and get a workout in before I sit down for the rest of the evening. I just got finished eating and is before 7 :carrot:

Donna - I am with you - sometimes it is impossible to get home and get dinner in before 7. But I do agree that when that happens it should not be Pizza Papalas or White Castle! The other day we ate out after 7 and I had a bowl of soup and coffee. I didn't beat myself up about that! :drill:

Wish me :goodluck: on getting that workout in!

mscat

great job ...supper before 7... WTG...Hope you got that workout in....

As for me..only weights today..I never made it back to do cardio but I did cut the grass today so that burned alot of calories....I will make it to the gym tomorrow after work...

hope everyone has a great Sunday and good luck at weigh-in on Monday...

Hi Yall!
 

Reporting in now because I have a busy day ahead and may not get back till much later or till the morning! Donna - I got my workout in late last night :carrot: A 15 minute stair climber! Counting on getting another workout in before the day is out and I will be 7 for 7 this week!

Donna - cutting grass counts for a lot of calories so consider yourself in action. Better than sitting in front of the boob tube. You go! :cheer:

Have a great day! :wave:

Monday Mornin'
 

Ladies - I did it! 7 of 7 days of movement :carrot: I got a 15 WATP last night before dinner. I ate dinner a little late - 8:00 - oh well. I also got up this a.m. and did a 20 minute Tae Bo workout. Exercise is not only more fun with the varied workouts but also easier to do consistently. I woke up this a.m. at 6:00 and was eager to do something instead of staying in bed and it was great to know I had choices between Tae Bo, WATP, :tread: and the stairclimber!

I will report in later after I weigh in. Good luck to everyone! :wave:

mscat

mscat-WTG-I'm proud of you 7 for 7...glad you found a mix that is working for you..

Well I'm down 1 whole lb from last week that puts me at 171.8 which is down .6 from the week before after my .4 increase from last week...I'm glad to see it going back in the right direction..

Bonnie & carla where are you?

good luck today ladies...

Tuesday Greetings
 

Worked out again last night! We hosted a physical excitement workshop for the leadership seminar we are taking. As it turns out, I expended more energy than my Tae Bo, :tread:, stairclimber and WATP put together! 2 hours worth!

Boy was I sore this morning. But I am still glad I took on working out yesterday morning. My weight is toddling around 235 but that is down 5 lbs from last week :cheer: I will have to work out late this evening after my hair appointment to stay on track (9 days straight). I am determined to make it happen. Didn't make my 7 pm deadline for eating - we didn't finish the workshop until 9:30 and I did not resist the chili I had made. I will eat before 7 this evening :drill:

Donna - congrats on the loss! :cheer: :cheer:

Bonnie and carla - missing you :grouphug:

Have a great day! mscat

How funny..I also made chili on monday...I made it with ground turkey and also had brown rice with it....it was yummy...I've ate it for two days now and will take it to work again tomorrow...I love chili..

mscat--wow your doing such a great job...I still haven't got up the energy to try my tae bo yet cause I know it will kick my butt...

Late Night Report!
 

Hey Donna - it looks like it is just you and me :?: Oh well, I am willing to keep posting as long as you are. Although I am going on vacation for a week on Friday and I am not sure what my internet access will be.

Well, even though it was 11:30 p.m. when I finished with hair appointment and all that jazz on Tuesday, I squeezed in a 15 minute stair climber session! I was supersore this morning since I have not yet recovered from the 2 hour workshop on Monday. DH promised to work out with me tonight so I skipped my morning workout. Bad idea! When I got home DH was headed for the bed and was not going to fulfill his commitment. After picking and dropping off DD for her hair appointment, shopping, washing, and packing I squeezed in 15 minute WATP workout, again at 11:30 :cheer:

I am 10 for 10 :cb: I am packing my WATP video for for the days we don't go to the theme parks. Have a great day!

mscat

Sure I'll keep posting...I don't know what happened to bonnie and carla but I sure they will come back...WTG on getting in those late night workouts...and wow 10 days straight..I'm proud of you...keep it up...your going to have a good weight in this next week..

I missed working out for the last two days...I've worked over and have been too tired...I know thats not a good excise but I didn't want to push too hard and figured my body could use the break after all I've been doing...

Where are you going to for your vacation?

Hello Ladies :) :grouphug:

I'm back and just caught up on the thread... :) Great to hear that nearly all of you have all had many days of success while I was gone! Anc our Carla needs some more spanking, I think... ;)

My trip was great, great, great, great, great. We didn't do much hiking or walking in the end - there was just too much too do, too many places to see and too little time. I wasn't too bad with food, but wasn't that good either, especially towards the end (more and more ice cream).
My challenge for the trip was supposed to be to get the water in and to floss regularly (that's the one I couldn't remember, and it's something I'm very bad with even though I do brush nearly compulsively!). Anyhow... I forgot the floss, and didn't want to buy any since it takes me YEARS to get through even a small pack. So that went out of the window.
And so did water - a lot of the time there were no toilets available and I didn't want any trips/adventures to get ruined by the persistent need to pee (I can't describe how much I suffered during a 4-hour white rafting trip a few years ago, when we were in wetsuits and I had to go nearly from the start...).

I know I gained some pounds because one pair of trausers which I have not worn during the trip feels tighter. Hopefullay not much though. I'll wait with stepping on the scale until our weigh-in day. Need to decide on my new weekly challenge. :)

That's it for now. :) Take care! :)

shshi-welcome back..Glad to hear you had a great time...I cant wait till june when I go on vacation....Right now Bonnie and mcsat are gone on vacation too and I don't know what happened to Carla...Hopefully your only retain fluid from the lack of water in take and I hope the scale is good to you...

As for me...I'm doing great...I'm still eating really good..I had one cheat day this week but I still stayed under my caories...I was really tired yesterday but I forced myself to gget moving and went to the gym..I did 30 min elliptical and 60 mins weights...today I'm going at 10am to have my BMR take...It cost $20..all you do is sit still for 15mins and them you breath onto this machine for 5 mins and it will tell you 99.9% acturate what your BMR is...you just cant eat, drink or move around much when you get up till you take the test and right now I'm starving but I only have 45 more mins to go..

Happy easter to everyone

:( Scary weigh-in this morning: up to 199. Now I know that's probably a little inflated, what with the aftermath of easter chocolate and salty ham and all, but it was enough to make me break out the raisin bran. Maybe a fridge clearout later, and of course the rest of the easter trash to ditch. (You may be surprised that there's any junk left, but there was a lot, and I really DID try to finish it last night... )

So there's still a lot of insanity around here :crazy: , and a lot of blubber too. The dreaded return to WW is getting closer and closer. Mscat, I'll let you know once I've signed up. But there's not much excuse right now: troubling Easter visit home is over, the weather is nice enough to bike, the constant blues are feeling increasingly self-indulgent...

Donna, how did the BMR test turn out? You've been doing so well, I have a good feeling about it.

Sushi, it's great to see you back! It sounds like you had a great time, and I rather expect the ice cream was worth it. Are you still in Aus? Thanks for the spanking, you know I always enjoy a little public flagellation. :)

Bonnie, my BB Buddy, where are you? By now we're probably at the same weight; let's stop going THE WRONG WAY, and let's do it TOGETHER! (Of course all my fellow insanity stoppers are welcome to jump on board...)

Mscat, my fingers will be crossed :crossed: that your holiday doesn't interfere with your exercise streak. You've been doing so well!

My posts may continue to be a little sporadic: on top of my already bad habits, I seem to have developed a pinched nerve in my right wrist. At first I thought it was from playing laser pointer with the cats, and that may have started it , but now I fear using the laptop may be a factor too. I see the doc tomorrow, and do NOT want to be told it's carpal tunnel. But I may be trying to stay off the puter.

Ta for now. :wave:

The Voice Of Larger Pants Sizes To Come....
 

Slap, Slap, Slap.....:devil:

I have no tolerance for ANYTHING today:coach:

myself is doing double workouts, AM about 20 mins. of interval training at home and after work I am hitting the gym (literally)....I have a standing *date* with the body-bag....my hands aren't used to punching, but at least I channel my rage in a safe manner.....and no one can indict me!

Hmmmmm.... Typical weigh-in Monday here, regular posters hiding beneath rocks... Except for slap-happy skinny Marble and infrequent flyer yours truly...

Tsk, tsk!!

:kickbutt:
:frypan:

;)

Hello Ladies :)

Mscat, hope you're enjoying your holiday and managing to stick with your willingness to exercise (because we all know that we always want to do something - like exercise - while on holiday, but a lot of time it doesn't happen for whaterver reason. :)

Donna, the BMR test sounds great, I'd love to do something like that to really know what my BMR is! Hope you didn't starve before the appointment. :)

Carla, hope your wrist will be ok. Good luck for the checkup. :)

Marble, sound good: exercise AND getting emotions out! :)

Bonnie, waves to you too. :)

And no, I'm not hiding, just didn't get on the computer until now (the laptop has to come home from work before I can use it :p ). I still haven't decided on my challenges for this week, or on what the action plan should be for the next month. Weigh in today 62 kgs, which is 137.7 lbs, which isn't good, yet I'm not unhappy with it, as I was the same before leaving for New Zealand. So I didn't go up despite the ice cream, crackers and chocolate. Must get back to work though, I haven't lost in ages, and have a long way to go.

Take care everyone, I'll be in touch as often as possible. :)
