[Mykelogan]

Wow sheila, great job! I definitely see a big difference in your pics!!

No real exercise to speak of here this weekend, I have been on duty on campus all weekend, which is no fun!

Wow, Sheila, you look great!

I got my halloween candy out tonight and put it in a basket so it will be ready for my husband to give out tomorrow night. I have to work until 6:30 so hopefully by the time I get home it will be all gone. I did put a few pieces in a box of stuff I'm mailing to my daughter in college.

I wanted to walk outside today but opted to go over to vist my brother and his wife and my nephew. My brother put me to work helping picking up nuts out his lawn...I'm such a sucker.
I did walk an hour on the treadmill this evening though

Happy Halloween! or should I say Happy HalloWishes? (I loved the MNSSHP!) Great job on staying away from the candy everyone! After today the candy in our house is going back to stuff DD only likes - in other words no more chocolate.

I have three goals for the day - drink my water (which I just remembered as I'm sitting here!), get my workout in, and 1 piece of Halloween candy. The rest of my day will be an always eventful trip to Wal-Mart and finishing up this project and getting it out of my house!

Big weigh-in tomorrow...how about we just update the weight loss on the week 8 thread?

Jen - glad your stomach is better!

Hi, Purple Team! I have to update everything today because I am leaving for Indiana tonight after work. Although I took a break from exercise to rest my bad knee, here are my totals:
125 minutes exercise
2 lbs weight loss.
I'm not entirely sure how that happened, except I did increase my water intake this week.
Hope you all have a good week!

Hi everyone! Thanks for the compliments. Y'all are so sweet! I still have a good way to go, but I feel so much better now. I used to be so miserable (physically and emotionally).

Congrats to everyone who has resisted the Halloween candy. I had one piece on Friday night. It was sooo sweet! LOL Tonight is really going to be a challenge for me. We have a huge Halloween party every year.

I know we have our weigh-in tomorrow night. Oh boy!

How about everyone posting some "Before" and "During" pictures? I want to see how good-looking you all are!

Jana ~ Great job on losing 2 lbs!!!! You go, girl! Also, good job on the exercise. You are doing fantastic!

How do we post pictures?

 

[MinnieMouseMom]

Hi everyone! I did the 2 mile WATP this morning for 30 mins.

How do we post pictures?

Hi All!

Hope everyone is doing well! I am looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in, so we'll what happens! I did 90min of water aerobics today.

So here is my before picture, hopefully you won't spit your coffee out when you see it! I think you'll recognize the gentleman to my right too!

Have a great day all!
Mike

Okay I'll post some pics tomorrow or Wednesday when I have some time to play around. I'm not sure you can notice the difference, I'm just starting to get some comments on my weight loss.

Mike - I thought you had shaggy light brown hair that almost covered your eyes and a soul patch - must be because you're associated with the college kids. 90 minutes of water aerobics - WTG!!!

Jana - awesome job 2 pounds down! Fantastic! Are you coming to the Hoosier State for business or pleasure?

MinnieMouseMom - great job on the exercise - you are great at being consistent with it! I looked for a WATP dvd at Wal-Mart but didn't see it so I got Leslie Sansone instead.

I did 40 minutes of exercise today. I had to force myself to take the time because I've once again overcomitted myself...sigh. And here I sit in front of the computer - I don't know which way to turn!

 

[Mykelogan]

Hahaha! Thanks Jennifer! Nope, shaved head here! And sunburn at times as you can see in the pic! LOL

Hey Mike, I bet you look like a different person already. You can do so many things now that you couldn't a few months ago, right?

I think you look pretty Sheila.

I did a Firm DVD for 55 minutes this morning. Tried to get the truck inspected but we need new tires first. Did boring grocery shopping. I bought candy to give out, no chocolate of any kind. What's left over I am sending to DH's work. Who needs that much sugar anyway??

So many things!!! Thanks Marty!!!

Forgot to add earlier that I actually wore my new jeans out today. I posted a few weeks ago that I bought them in TN in August. I bought them at the Gap outlet and didn't try them on. They were too tight. I could barely button them. A couple of weeks ago I was finally able to button them with no problems but they were still too tight in the butt. So I was very happy when I tried them on this morning and they were loose enough to wear without embarassing myself. I've only lost 4 lbs but I've lost about 2 1/2" in the waist. I'm trying to look at those numbers more. The Firm is kicking my butt!! In more ways than one!!

[K and K's Mommy]

Marty - That is terrific about the jeans!! Way to go!

Jana - You are going to be my inspiration for drinking more water! I can't seem to do!

Jennifer - I think Leslie Sansone is WATP. Maybe she has something else out besides the WATP tapes. I got some WATP tapes two years ago at the Super Target in Fishers.

I also have no idea how to show pictures. My husband did the one in my sig. Although there is supposed to be one from the next year too I'm not sure what happened to that one.

Today I exercised for a half hour. I was hoping to get in a 20 minute Pilates tape also, but my baby is showing no signs of taking his afternoon nap!

Happy Halloween and stay away from the candy!!

 

[jennz]

Marty - big congratulations to you!!

K&K's Mommy - where did you end up this weekend? zoo or CM? We have a field trip to the CM 11/17 and I'll be going...

Mike - I looked for you at Publix but you must have been gone already!

 

[MinnieMouseMom]

Jennz, Leslie Sansone is the one who does WATP

Today was my get back in gear day..i. worked out for 45 minutes!

Hello everyone...
It's your wayward sportschick checking in for the first time on the new thread. Sorry I've been MIA all week, but work's been nuts. Fall in the sports department is generally bad, but when county/district/state playoffs get hopping... Very, very bad.
At any rate I celebrated my 35th birthday this fine Halloween day. My present to myself this year was to renew my long-lapsed gym membership. Now hopefully I can find time to use it.
Seriously, I figured that the weather getting colder/ickier was the perfect excuse to do it. Now I have no reason, barring 34 inches of snow, not to go someplace to exercise.
As an added bonus, I got on the scale today (a day early, I know, but I needed to wrap up the October challenges) and found it had budged another 2.4 pounds south! That brings me to 11.4 down since I began taking this weight loss thing more seriously Sept. 1. I have a long way to go, but hopefully I'm headed in the right direction.
I guess you all have been reintroducing yourselves, too? Laura in a nutshell: Sportswriter/editor who likes cheesesteaks, bar food and beer far too much. Married (1 year Oct. 30) to the inimitable SkipperBubba . No small people skulking about the house. For the first time, we have two WDW trips on the table: first full week in December at AKL and end of April at the Beach Club. My fave ride's the Haunted Mansion, his is Pirates of the Carribean. Rock-n-Roller Coaster a close second for both. Gee, I can't think of anything else at the moment. Guess I'm pretty boring.
Well, the Skipper is calling, so I will sign off for now. Hope everyone else is having a good week!
Cheers,
Laura
