Weight?
 

Forgiven: I lost about 9 lbs in bodyweight and about 15 lbs in fat from memory during my first challenge - nothing to write home about I guess. I am not very hooked up on the scale so it didn't bother me and I knew that I had a long way to go.

Over my first year I lost about 52lbs of bodyweight and about 60lbs fat from memory - I would have to check my journals. It's been a slow process but a very rewarding one for me.

Hey everyone! It's been a long time since I've been able to get to a computer to check out this site -- but I've been thinking of everyone I meet here prior to Thanksgiving (which is about the time I started having limited computer access), and hoping everyone had a good holiday season.

Hello to all of the new folks!

Just for a brief (re) introduction, I've completed one BFL challenge and was pretty happy with the results. I lost 20 pounds and about 26 (or 27) inches. I then did a mini-challange between Thanksgiving and Christmas that didn't really take off -- I had a hard time balancing my travels with the plan. But, I was able to survive the holidays without re-gaining too much. I'm now gearing up for another challenge beginning on Monday, 1/20. So, I look forward to progressing down this path with all ya'll.

JEC: A while ago, you mentioned that your husband has done quite a bit of travel in South East Asia . . . does he have any thoughts about Burma? I'm finalizing my April visit to a friend who lives in Malasia, and am interested in traveling to a neighboring country. Thanks for any information you might be able to provide.

Hope everyone has a good rest of the week -- I'm not sure what my computer access will be for the rest of this week, but I hope to be able to check in daily again soon (and figure out who's who!) Peace, Mox ;)

Mox: I am not sure if he has been to Burma but will ask him tonight for ya ;)

RE: BodyRX - I've never heard of it myself, but thought I'd drop in my two cents about cardio -- I've come to really hate cardio myself, but doing these 20 minutes on BFL I find that it's not so bad! My mind keeps pretty busy concentrating on the routine of it and it's over in no time.

Can't keep up with you guys!

Mel thanks for the compliment! I can't wait to see my new body. It's slowly revealing itself....:lol:

Jenelle I am sure it's hard to eat 4-5 times during the day if you're a teacher. Sheesh, when I go to my kid's school (5th grd) that teacher is running around like mad! As all the other teachers are as well! Bless you.

Lana I LUV nuts too. Man O man! My mom makes these great pecans for Christmas and I can eat them til I get a headache - and have!

About that birthday.... I think it was Karen's - no? Just a guess. I may have missed it in an earlier post - there's a lot of them.

Well, I have been eating clean and haven't missed a workout in 2 weeks. I feel great. No pain when I wake (car wreck in '98, rear-ended while head was turned to the left). More energy and sugar free too! Blood sugars are normal. JEC Speaking of BS, have you had that blood work done yet?

In other news - Mike (the Mr.) has now joined the gym and begun workingout and eating clean! Now I can hardly keep food in the house the boy eats like a teenager! :lol: He's even eating cottage cheese! Whipped, of course. He was stunned that it has so much protein.

Susie

greetings everyone !!
 

Susie - you have fantastic news for us today !! congrats on the two weeks of clean eating. that's just great. and i'm really happy that the Mr. has joined you on the program. the more the merrier ;)

i was in the cardio room at the gym when our israeli astronaut was launched into space this evening. it was really exciting !! reminded me of the whole space program excitement in my childhood.

i had a great legs workout this afternoon, followed by 40 minutes of incline intervals. phew !! that was intense. :yes: 5 minutes at a 6% incline at 3.4 mph, 5 minutes 0% incline at 4mph.

eating has been wonderful these past few days too. i feel so good with all the healthy clean food running in my system.

i hope you're all having a good thursday. where did this week go to? :dizzy: tomorrow is already our weekend :p

take care,

adriana

Niffer: I will make the appointment today!!! Thanks for holding me accountable....

Adriana: it's Friday here already so tomorrow is my weekend also!

I went out shopping last night (food) and then to a movie with hubby. We saw 8 Mile which was released over here last night. I thought it was a bit slow - have any of you seen it? BUT I was very impressed with Eminen. He should do acting full time - a very intense individual it's hard to take your eyes off him!

Anyway clean eats packed in the fridge at work and a weeks worth of food ready to cook tomorrow in the fridge at home - I'm set :D :D

How is everyone?

JC

JEC Great to hear! Any time I can bug ya, let me know! :lol: I know you'll let us know the results.

Adriana You did legs and then did incline cardio? I am not worthy to be on the same board as you! Can you walk?

I go for a massage tonight (aahhhhhh). I won it on the radio. I called into a show called "Get off the Couch" :lol: it's about health and wellness. I love listening to those shows. Some of the info is right on, and then some is not. Anyway, he's going to try to sell me his services, I'm sure. But rest asured gals, I shall not cave!

OOOOOOOO! I have some news too! Yesterday I had lunch with a lender (I'm a REALTOR) and we met to talk about his business and mine and how we can help each other out. WEEELLLLL he just happens to be opening a new gym and wants me to put together a package to show his partners! During our conversation I was telling him what kinds of things to include from a woman's point of view, and he said "Why don't you put it together and we'll sit down with my partners!" YOWZA! I am pumped! This could lead to........I dunno, but this gym is going to be the hottest place in town!

Hope all is well with everyone! :D :D :D

LOVE the avatar JC!!!
 

How's it going everyone? Just got back from the dentist :( I need to floss more...so Jim is on the Flossing Nagging Committee - I don't get to go to bed until I've throughly flossed each nite - better that than going to the periodontist I guess :lol:

JC - I heard of 8 Mile but I am soooo out of touch with today's music...we still listen to Van Halen, Zeppelin and Metallica at home!

Susie - SOOO Jealous! Wish Jim would join me. He goes to the gym...er...infrequently...then he wonders why he can't get a decent night's sleep! Well, part of that could be the nightly Feline Follies that we've been having lately...Megan is trying to suck up to Sparky but he's one tough nut. Monday evening the Sparkster was all stretched out on top of the sofa basking in the warmth of the heater...and Little Miss Meg jumped up there and snuggled up behind him, put her head on his hind leg and went to sleep. Jim and I saw Sparky's ears go back a bit but then he just closed his eyes and kept on snoozin'. So I guess that's progress! (of course they are still batting at each other, but she gives as good as she gets).

Nope, that wasn't my birthday - mine was way back in November.

Mox! Nice to see ya back. Don't be a stranger :lol:

Boss just got back so gotta fly :df:

The birthday girl hasn't checked in yet :s: maybe she is HIDING!!

JC

Hey Susie - just a thought (re-reading your post regarding the gym).

You live in Colorado - well so does Pam Brown - maybe you could ask her to be at the grand opening of your friend's new gym? Would that be cool or what???

Hey what does it mean you you are eating the same food but you start to get more hungry than usual again?? I have forgotten.....

JC :D

Hi everyone!

I have been lurking, but I haven't been able to post. Crazy work keeping me from my internet habit!

This has been a good week for me. But, today I want to eat everything in sight! I haven't been having any kind of problems following the diet but today I just want BAD food. Oh well. I printed out some recipes to help with the boredom. It was very hard to be good at the grocery store tonight!

This weekend I am going to my parents house (about hours away) and doing more wedding poo. So I am going to try to do as well as I can. Plus, I am packing food. Luckily I have very health concious parents! My Mom lost about 30 lbs. about 10 years ago. And she is way skinnier than me :o

I have almost done 3 weeks! I am seeing a difference in the pants-o-meter, but I have only lost 4 lbs in scale weight. That is a little disappointing. I know...THROW OUT THE SCALE. I just can't :devil:

I have been doing ok on my workouts, but haven't been as sore as I expected. I don't know if that is a good thing or bad :dizzy:

Have a great weekend!
