I'm giving myself a huge pat on the back tonight. I did not indulge in any sweets or soda today. I drank sugar free drink mix, the Walmart brand knock off of crystal light. The grape and cherry is really good. However what I am most proud of is the fact that I went out after it stopped raining to walk. We have a loop mapped out that is 3/4 mile. I walked it once, ran it the second time and walked it a third time. That is 2 1/4 miles. It was a comfortable temp after the rain and amazingly there were no bugs. So I ate right and exercised.

WTG Deb!!!! That is awesome. Keep up the great work!

Great job, Deb! All it takes is one day to get started. Keep taking one day at a time, and before you know it you'll be on day 43! (We're getting close to that half-way point, Anne Marie!)

Today was weigh-in day. I lost 1 pound this week for a total of 21 pounds. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't more, but a loss is better than a gain! I think I may be retaining a little water, too.

Another pound lost this week, so the total gone is now 45 pounds. Next goal is 50 pounds lost. Hope to do that in the next two weeks!

Good work everyone... keep it up!

 

[bethbuchall]

Yipee, Elin!!!! 45 pounds is terrific!

Great job everyone. I think you all passed your lbs to me this week. I have gained a few (could it be the wild week I have had?) but I am not mad. I will get this back off.


Keep up the good work all.

Hey everybody! It's been a while since I posted here! Sorry. It's been hectic around here since before the holiday. The good news is that even though I travelled over the holiday and celebrated my anniversary, my parent's anniversary and my grandmother's 93rd birthday, I didn't gain any weight!!!! In fact, I'm down another 2 pounds. That makes me 11 pounds away from my goal!!! How exciting is that?!? I was really careful about what I ate, but I didn't deprive myself of anything. I even ate a bite of the birthday cake. At this point of my progress, portion control is everything!!! The doctor wants me to start adding some carbs back into my diet, so I'm doing it with whole grains. I just do it carefully!

Anyway, it gives me hope for this trip to Disneyland! I'll be able to sample some of my favorite treats, and know that I won't go overboard!

Way to go, Deb!!! You are back on track. Good for you!!!!!

Congratulations for all the weight loss. It's great to track your progress!

I'll check in again before we leave on Sunday, but things are getting hectic again with school ending, packing the kids up to stay at my sister's, and then getting Alan and me ready to travel this weekend. Keep up the good work, people! We are shrinking rapidly!!!

 

[bethbuchall]

Way to go, Glynis!!! You are sooooo close to goal. What a fabulous feeling!

I am so glad I came here tonight. I haven't exercised today, but I'm going to log off now and do some situps and pushups. I woke up this morning with a sore foot. To my amazement I somehow punctured the bottom of my foot and I have no idea when or how I did it. Needless to say, no long walks or running for me today. I do not however need my feet for situps so no excuse. I'll see how the pushups feel on my feet, maybe I'll have to do girl ones

Deb

 

[my3princes]

Thanks for the motivation. I only did 25 situps and 10 pushups, but that is more than I've done in a while. You guys rock. Make sure you push me to exercise tomorrow. I need to do it early as I have to work tomorrow night.

Ok, I have not been so good lately. My pepsi intake is slowly increasing day by day and I'm almost back to 2 a day! I also haven't started an exercise program. Tomorrow is another day! I'm posting here to say that I will only have one pepsi tomorrow and I will exercise for 1/2 hour. Please ask me for how it went tomorrow evening! Thanks.

You can do it, Vicki!!! You've done it before. You know you can do it. I'll check in tomorrow!

 

[bethbuchall]

Vicki, I need to get in more exercise, too. I'll make sure that I get mine done, and you do the same. I didn't exercise yesterday, but I did spend 2 hours mowing the lawn. Our yard is on a small hill and we don't have a self-propelled mower. Today I am going to do at least a half hour of cardio plus my upper body strength training. I need to get more regular with the exercise! Being busy is not enough of an excuse.

Just looking around for a new look. I can't seem to make my own (I have tried, but can't get the size correct), so for the next few days I have this one because Bethie loves Cinderella.
