Thanks for the heads up VIJA- I can't wait to go home and see it.

Things are going good for me today food wise. I didn't work out at lunch, I ended up getting busy and had a meeting at 2pm so I didn't want to be late. I'll try to do that tomorrow. For tonight, I'm going to go home and do a video!!

thanks to whoever mentioned 'last chance workout' -- i know we are not that intense but it did encourage me to just change and i ended up doing a 15 min WATP and then about 40 mins strength training!

good thing too b/c my DD brought me an iced coffee after school and she spiked it with Frangelico!! oh dear......what kind of influence does she live with!

Good Evening Blue Team! I have enjoyed reading what everyone has to say and the goings on throughout the week! I wish I could respond to each person but my toddler keeps me pretty busy during the day and my husband (a teacher) does all his work on the computer at night.

I haven’t posted much on here, being shy even comes through online! My week has been a tough one. I have made good food choices but haven’t been able to walk as much due to it being that time of month (which may be TMI, if so sorry). I missed three days of doing any type of workout because of pain. And I missed it (so that’s a good thing!) I was so happy that I was able to walk my two miles this morning and will be able to walk my one maybe two miles after dinner. I haven’t checked the scale but I am not looking forward to weighing in tomorrow.

I wanted to start using our clubhouse gym so we checked it out on Sunday, I knew it was small but wasn’t sure of anything else. It turns outs that it is all cardio things, a treadmill (which the belt sticks) and a few other outdated items that don’t work like they should. So that was a bit of a let down and I won‘t be using it. I have thought about looking into a gym in the area but I wouldn’t be comfortable going. So I am keeping my eye out for a treadmill on Craigslist! My parents are visiting in a month and they are going to bring out hand weights and a step thing, so I am looking forward to getting that, change things up a bit.

Do any of you ever worry that with everything you do (eat better and workout) that the weight won’t come off? That is my biggest fear!

Well I think that I have gone on long enough, sorry for the rambling. I wish everyone a Happy weigh in tomorrow no matter what the scale reads! See you all tomorrow on Week number 3 thread ​

kitkat324! WE LOVE hearing from you! sometimes it is tough to just jump right in. I used to be more shy, and then decided to try and be more outgoing, and I love it! I am still shy on the inside and at times it takes me a while to open up, but I can totally understand!

Sounds like you are getting some good walks in, and the fact that your body missed it speaks volumes that your body wants it! Way to go!

I used to have that fear about weight not coming off, but I once saw a tv show (like Oprah or Dr. Phil or something like that) that basicly said "what makes you so special that natural laws won't work". Calories in and calories out, if you balance it right you will loose weight. I thought about that a lot and realized that although I AM SPECIAL , I am just like everyone else and if I work my program then it will work for me. I just need faith!

I go by "faith, trust, and pixie dust" Faith in myself that I can do it, trust in the program that I am following and pixie dust to visualize my goals and have fun during this journey!

Hey everyone,
I'm sending pixie dust and best wishes for tomorrow's WI. I didn't get a workout in. Still not feeling right. I do have plans to get up tomorrow for a walk though. I'm going to bed now (I hope to be asleep by 9pm) and then I'll get up and walk in the morning. That should also help me sweat out some water weight in the morning. I have a very good feeling about WI tomorrow. I am so happy that we started this challenge.

Good luck everyone!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for not posting lately. Both of the computers in my house have been out of commission this weekend. Don't have much to report. Keeping up with my exercise commitment, not doing so great with the eating so the pounds keep hanging on. Eventually that will change

I got my last chance work outs in tonight. I did 40 minutes of fairly slow walking earlier today and then I did a 40 minute work out tonight on the treadmill including my Couch to 5K workout. I actually didn't check the training schedule and I kind of did a week 2.5 workout. I was supposed to jog for 90 seconds and walk for 2 minutes alternating for 20 minutes but I actually jogged for 90 seconds and walked for 1 minute alternating for 20 minutes. Oh well I guess I might be ready for week 3 later this week. That should be more of a challenge.

Good luck tomorrow on the weigh in everyone. I know that Blue can be #1 tomorrow!!!!!!

Hope everyone had a good day. for the first time in a lONG time I actually stayed OP today. I actually have points left tonight so I might have a small snack, but more likely not.

I also got DD out & we did a 4 min walk. Then it got too dark & since we had my pups with me (Yorkies, Oh Mom!) I began worryint that it was coyote hunting time & didn't want problems.

But, OP & exercise in the same day is much more like the old me!

My thought today has been : Yesterday's History, Tomorrow's a Mystery....Today's the day!!!

See y'all in the week 3 thread tomorrow!
