Oooh, very cool about SCUBA! I think if we didn't live in the frigid north we would do that. Well, I would -- DH is already certified. And, well, I don't have a lot of issues with a bouncy chest!!! ;) I have something to confess: I didn't go to crossfit last night. Too tired, too grumpy, and...

Thanks for the congrats -- I'm still feeling really pleased. It's not often I'm thrilled with kitty litter! :) Here's what I throw in the blender for two 16-ounce kale smoothies: 2 cups kale. I'm lazy and buy the pre washed and chopped kind. I don't worry too much about the stem pieces...

Hi! What a cool idea! How far would it be? I feel as if I've been doing too much -- it's been hard to fit in all of my workouts and have a real life. Thank heavens DH is so supportive! On Saturday DH and I ran our second-fastest half marathon ever. I felt great at mile 5, really good at...

Hi everyone! First and foremost: CC, Sue & Janis, thank you for everything you have done! I haven't been very active on the board, but you have definitely helped keep me on track. I just wanted to share something nice... on Saturday I ran my second-fastest half marathon ever. I felt...

Last week was crazy -- every day at work we had some new ridiculous "fire" to put out. And working out for 6 days straight -- which I know a lot of you do, but I'm usually too lazy! -- really beat me up. I can't tell you how thrilled I was to have a total rest day on Sunday! But to sum up...

Hi! Glad to see that things are going well! It may be sacrilege, but I try not to weigh myself every day. My DH weighs every morning, but I limit myself to Tuedays and Fridays. Why those days? Well, Tuesday was my weigh-in day when I was on WW a decade ago, and old habits die hard. And Friday is...

Hi Carolynn! I feel like I've been super absent from the boards -- just getting caught up on your journal. Glad you're going Goofy in 2013! And I'm sorry that things didn't work out with your coach -- but glad the "break up" went well. Have a great weekend! Sunny

Thanks Terapin! I should point out that I felt great on Wednesday... but started feeling stiff in my shoulders that night. But the weather was so gorgeous this morning that -- though I was feeling a bit stiff and sore -- I wanted to get up and run. So after making today's delicious smoothies...

Went to CrossFit for the first time today... yeah, it's another "groupon" (well, in this case, an AmazonLocal voucher...). For 2 weeks of onboarding plus 2 weeks unlimited CrossFit. After a little introduction about what CrossFit is, we did a group "Elements" warmup -- some stretches, some...

I'd love to go to India, Thailand, and Japan -- really, anywhere I haven't been! I love exploring and learning about history. Oh, and, well, in Japan, I could go to Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea...

Was so happy to get up a bit early today to go to Boot Camp! We had a week off before this session and I really missed it. So going back to the track and seeing my new friends was a real treat. Today we tested -- the mile run, pushups, sit-ups, planks, and squats -- and I was a bit better in...

Wow!!! I can't believe it! To be frank, I suspect the larger loss is due to my pal TOM leaving town.... I feel like a fraud because I haven't been able to get on the boards very often, but I try to check in at night for a few minutes to see how everyone is doing. Great work so far! I will...

Got through the holiday week pretty well. I have been journaling faithfully with MyFitnessPal, staying within my calorie goals most days, and always hitting my FuelPoints goals. And I am thrilled to report that this morning I weighed in at 186.3 -- which puts me down 19.7 pounds!! I also got...

Hi everyone!! Sorry to have been so absent from the forum lately!! Buffy, your question made me think back to the brave young woman I was... and feel sad for the frightened woman I became in my 30s. I would tell teenage Sunny to stay true to herself, to continue to trust her instincts, and to...

Hi Lisa - Congratulations on making the commitment to start! Carolynn has great advice. I have found that tracking my food intake has been a huge help -- the free MyFitnessPal app is easy to use. Sometimes I have found myself deciding against a snack because I just didn't want to track it...

Hi everyone! Sorry for having been A.W.O.L. for the last couple of weeks. Work has been seasonally hectic (our Fall apparel all launches today), which is just enough to keep me from getting online at home. I'm happy to report, however, that things are going well -- even if my weight loss has...

Congratulations everyone! Great work!!! Quickly answering QOTD for 6/19: Do you have a physical object that you keep in a prominent place to serve as your inspiration to keep on your journey? I bought this necklace a few months ago from I Declare Charms. It took me a while to decide what...

Hi everyone - Great to see everyone so busy! I've had two more boot camp sessions (F, M) for 120 minutes, a 30-minute run on Th, plus 80 minutes for six miles of brisk walking on Sat. New total: 740/1200. Glad to be over halfway, and almost at the 2/3s mark!

Hi there! Congratulations on getting started -- looking forward to following your successes!!! Best, Sunny

Hi Carolynn - Welcome back! Your trip sounds wonderful. DH's parents are coming for a visit from the UK in September and we're taking them down to do a "canyon lands" road trip. I don't think we'll be able to get much hiking in (they're a little frail) but I should be able to at least get my...
