I'm thinking about joining a Jazzercise class. I went for my free trial class yesterday. It was fun and the hour went very fast. I thought I would be stuck in bed all day today because I wouldn't be able to move, but I'm not too sore. I'm going to go on Monday and officially join. That will get in my 3 days of cardio. Eventually I might even get all 6 days in. They don't teach on Sunday.

It's been in the 90s here all week and is suppose to get there again today. If I get a walk in it has to be early in the day. I'm off to get ready so I can get outside before it gets so hot I melt.

Now I just have to really work on the diet more and getting the water in. Maybe I should make a trip to the store and get some fresh fruit and veggies so I have stuff here that I can eat. Maybe the roadside markets would even be better. OK I'm off to the bank to get cash since they don't take charges. I guess I'll be walking in the banks direction today.

Hey gals - the new month started and I didn't even realize that it was time for a new thread! So, here it is, and I'll move the two August posts from the July thread.

Cindy- Thanks for starting the new thread.
I got my walking in today. Had lots of water. It's so hot I needed it. Eating was OK.

Wow.....I went to the ortho clinic on Thursday and I have to wear the walking boot for another 6 weeks. No weight on the right heel until after my appointment on Sept. 13th. I turned in my final project at school and I have one more night. All I have to do is study for the final and I am free!!!! Oh my gosh.....want am I going to do with no studying or projects???? For the past 2 years it has been school, school and more school. I guess I will need to concentrate on myself and losing this weight! Just wanted you all to know that I am still here. Patti.....how are you doing? How is the face?

Well I am back and starting full swing on Monday. I just need to pick up a few more things and I already have YOAD approved chili made for those ravenous evening where I can't be bothered to cook!

I have been toning so much from the running but not losing much weight, so here's hoping the two combined knock it right out of the park!

Hey guys - happy Friday!

Sorry I've not been around much - I'm letting all the wedding stuff take precedence, and I should not - otherwise I'm going to end up gaining weight before the wedding!

My eating has been bad - very sloppy, and way too much sugar. Today, while working out (yeah!), I decided this has to stop NOW! I'm going to stay home from camp this weekend so that I can get some things in order and actually grocery shop, purge my house again from the nasties that have crept in, and make some food for the week ahead.

The good news is that I exercised 3 days this week - not perfect, but at least I'm back in there for the second week in a row. This can only get better!

How are you gals doing? Kim, how's the foot? Patti - are you healed yet? Paula, you still with us? Cakses - have you done your YOU: turn yet? Anyone else around?

Let's keep chatting, despite busy summer schedules, to help keep ourselves accountable and on track. I think next week I'll restart the weekly food thread, ok? You guys in?

Have a great weekend everyone!
Cindy

I just finished my last class of the masters program.....I can now add MBA after my name. Yah!!!! Cindy....I am in. Now is the time for me to become the incredible shrinking woman!!!! I won't know what to do without having homework to do and I can read something besides a text book!!!! I am still in a walking cast for at least 5 more weeks so I have to do something besides walk. I want to get a BEAN to do some stretching and core activities on since it is more stable than the exercise ball that I keep falling off of. No weight allowed on the heel yet so I am at a bit of disadvantage. I too am re-committing to a new lifestyle.

I followed YOU when it first came out (ages ago is seems!) and I can't find the file on my computer where I saved all the 'rules'

How much of each food group are you guys eating? grains, fruits, veggies, ect?

Thank you!
