Great job resisting the chocolate cake, Carol!

I hope you're having a great day!

 

[toystoryduo]

Way to go Carol! Keep up the good work!

By the way... what Kathy Smith video(s) do you have? I have both of her Timesaver workouts and they are awesome!

Have a great Tuesday!

Hi I am back!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I was out of town and had very little internet access.
I did slip a little, but I am back on track today! One of the reasons I chose SB was that you can go back to Phase I when you slip to get back on track and I found Phase I easier that Atkins induction! So I am back on Phase I.

I did wear a pedometer while I was away and averaged around 10,000 steps a day! It is COLD today so I will probably do a workout video!

I am off to see how you guys are doing to inspire me!

 

[sarahsmom73]

Welcome Back!

 

[Princess Michelle]

Glad to see you back, Carol!

I love the phase 1 option on SB too, I've gone back to it a couple of times since I've been on this plan, it's great!

Way to go with the 10,000 steps!

 

[toystoryduo]

Welcome back Carol!! :jumping4:

 

[CarolA]

Thanks for all your support.

I didn't do the video last night. (Motivational issues) I am going to try and go to the local ice rink at lunch today and skate. (I read someplace that skating burns like 600 calories an hour, who knows if that is right, but I did it a few years ago and really liked it. It does tone your backside!)

Meals went well yesterday so things are going OK.

I love reading all the journals even if I don't post often. Everyone is so inspiring!

See you later!

Hi Carol! Thanks for stopping by my journal!

Ice skating sounds like fun! I've also read that it is such good exercise and burns a lot of calories.

Keep up the great work!

Well today was good. I think I had a few too many nuts, but I did ice skate! I think I am going to be sore tomorrow. I forgot that it uses muscles I don't normally use.

The neat thing was that the public session was EMPTY. For most of the time I was the only one in the rink (that way the little kids don't fly by me as they laugh at the old lady!)

I am heading out of town tomorrow for two days. Got to do better then I did last week!

 

[Princess Michelle]

Hey Carol, I bet you had a great time ice skating! It looks like so much fun. I'd probably get the most exercise getting off my butt 500 times while attempting to skate. LOL I hope you aren't too sore tomorrow but I bet it really is a good workout!

Sending lots of your way while you're out of town!

 

[CarolA]

It's confession time.

I fell completly off the wagon yesterday! I think it was a combination of TOM and just not having any good choices avaialbe. I was going to get Breakfast delivered from the hotel, but the only thing they had that was SB friendly on either thier room service or dining room menu was $23!!! While I could have done it, that is more than a Character Breakfast at Disney.

So... I wound up eating a danish at the training class. THen I had a sandwich and a cookie at lunch. And Dinner was.....beer and Trail Mix at the airport.

So... back on track today. I have to weigh Saturday! I am going to do some excerise today. Haven't decided if I will walk or ice skate. (watching the weather for my decision!)

Hope all of you do better then me!

 

[geetey]

Ice Skating in Nashville! Who would have thought that was even possible? I hope you decide to ice skate again! It does sound like lots of fun!! But like Michelle, I would get my exercise getting up off the ice over and over and over again.

Let us know how your weigh in goes!

 

[sarahsmom73]

Go for the Ice skating! It's a nice change!!! I too fell off the wagon this week... TOM etc... Let's boost each other back up! We can do this!

 

[CarolA]

Hey!

I wound up not doing either skating or walking yesterday. I was just flat out tired. I had late flights both Wed and Thursday and between that and TOM I felt like I had been hit by a truck LOL!

However, stayed OP (Phase I again!) for food!

And I got on the scale this morning. 176! Another pound and a half gone! YEAH!!!! Since my goal is to average 1 pound a week and so far in January I have done 6 pounds I am on track (I know there will be slow downs so getting a head start now would be good) That also means I met my January Challange.

Not sure what I am going to do today. The weather is an issue. It may "snow" here. Now for those of you who shovel daily (HI BETH!) this may sound funny, but here in Nashville we don't do snow here. First as soon as they mention snow we all to the grocery to stock up..... for the next year LOL! Then at snowflake one we all drive into each other. We are pathetic! I would like to walk so I might just need to get off the PC and start hiking before it gets cold and starts raining (which would proceed any snow!)

I would like to join a gym, but since I will list the house this week and hopefully move soon, it doesn't seem worth it.

 

[toystoryduo]

Way to go Carol! Another pound gone! Woohoo!

Please be careful this weekend with the snow. We're used to it here in Ohio, but it certainly makes us dream of living in Florida some day!

Take care!

 

[swilphil]

Congrats on losing 6 lbs since the beginning of the month. You give me hope! It sounds like you jumped right back on track with your eating. I think ice skating is great exercise. Go if you get the chance.

 

[DisneyEnthusiastic]

Way to go Carol!! We all have our little slip ups..it's just making sure to get back on plan. You are doing awesome!

We are getting that snowstorm right now! Stay warm!

[CarolA]

Well is snowed. Now you folks from up north would be rolling on the floor with laughter. It kind of covered the streets and the media is out in full force yelling about us staying off the roads. I will until much later since I live on the side of small mountain (and we don't get any snow/ice removal here!)

Yesterday I wound up doing the Kathy Smith video. Not sure what my excerise will be today. I don't like to ice skate on the weekends. The rink does a lousy job of maintaining control and there are always kids doing stupid stuff like sliding thier body on the ice to stop. If it warms up to above freezing I might walk. (NOTE: I don't really own clothes for walking/running in the bitter cold! LOL)

Stayed OP with food yesterday, but I didn't count my waters and don't think I drank enough. Will have to mointor that today.

 

[Desiree]

Snow, what's that?! heh heh

Hope it will warm up a bit for you to get some exercise in today! I did bad with my water intake over the weekend too. So today is a new day. Heading for my 64 oz jug now.

Have a great day!
