Ok I would like to make an annoucement - I exercised last night like I told everyone. I did Walk away the pounds dvd. They have a 3 mile "walk" and a 4 mile "walk" and I was only able to do 2 miles but I felt so good afterwards. Now I plan to do this every other day and then try to put some weight training in there too. I am on sparkpeople and I know they did you some exercises to do so that's what I am going to do.

Ohhh!! Could you tell me about the Walk Away the Pounds DVD??? That might be right up my alley! Where did you get it?

 

[MA pigletfan]

So DH and I had a de-stressing night and went to the mall for awhile. Well, we ended up at a restaurant called "The Melting Pot" which is a fondue restaurant. I am stuffed but it didn't seem like I ate that much after a 2 1/2 hr dinner and finishing with a chocolate fondue! We had a fabulous time!

BTW Wendy.........BUSTED!!!!!!!

YUMMMMM I am a sucker for fondue..there is a melting pot about 35 min. from us that i have not gone too yet..oh but i will on a 'cheat' night..yum!

YAY Laura!! Do you like the workout!? I jsut love Leslie Sansone..she's very motivating and fun to work out with. i need to bust my tapes out again too..i have been stuck on Turbo Jam lately...and i def. want more of those..talk about a workout!

Ok Peeps! Its a Monday and the first of the month! I feel like I am starting fresh today because it is the first day I woke up where I did not have a coughing fit. Bronchitis was no fun and really hindered my health!

Going to brush the dust off my Jillian Michaels 30 day shred today

Glad you are feeling better!!! I think my mom is gettng me one of the Jillian DVDs for Christmas..yay!!!

SO..i discovered the most amazing food ever. I am convinced of it..No fat Greek Yogurt!!! talk about protein bonanza..the kind i get has 23 grams of protein in a serving.no fat and 140 calories!! I throw some barenaked granola in there and bam very very filling breakfast with a ton of protein ( granted teh granola has fat and about 130 cals itself..but it stays with me..i am not even hungry for lunch yet which i usually am by now!)...Anyway that was my find!

I went to a bridal show yesterday with my mom ..so fun, i loved seeing all the dresses. i still have not even tried any one! But now i am getting the fever!
Have a great day all...drink that H20 to flush away the turkey..and the pie..and the stuffing..and, you get the point

I love Greek Yogurt! I sweeten it with Splenda or Stevia and throw some blueberries in it and eat that several times a week. Greek yogurt is really thick and tasty!!! I want to adapt it into dips for fruit or veggies or as a topping for my daily sweet potato.

I honestly thought Yoplait (custard style) was the best, but Greek surpasses it, big time. The only challenge is having other things to add to it, like peaches, berries, or bananas.

YES! i imagine with fruit it is amazing!! I think i have frozen raspberries that would ROCK in it..it really is a great treat.

So my husband got me a Wii Fit about 3 weeks ago it is still sitting in the box? I have not bothered to even try it because I feel like it will not be challenging enough for me. Does anyone have it?? do you really get a workout from it?

I finally was able to work out yesterday without wheezing or coughing. Hallelujah I almost feel 100% better

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hey Peeps

Hope everyones having a good day!
I resisted the cream bun urge today . A regular customer came into the office, and he'd bought everyone an Apple Turnover filled with creamy gorgeousness - I gave mine to a co-worker to take home for her DH (when the customer had gone!) Very proud of me

Anyhoo, last night I was clearing some things out and I came across a brand new pair of Minnie Ears from when I went to Disneyland Paris - they are brand new, still with the tags on and in the bag - If anyone wants them for their kiddo or themselves, please PM me and I'll send them onto you - spreading the joy!

Have a great day everyone

I have to say we sold our Wii Fit after a couple of weeks. I think if you got it and it was the only form of exercise you were doing, after not exercising for a while / ever, it would be OK. Because I exercise a lot though I found the level less that I am used to, and so didn't feel it was doing me any good. DH felt the same, so we sold it and went back to running / aerobics. It was certainly adequate, just not as full on as we are used to working out.

I know a lot of people love it though, so maybe it just wasn't for us?

 

[MA pigletfan]

i have a wii fit..and honestly it is collecting dust. i should use it because its definitely fun..but i never really used it for a full workout.

Happy Tuesday. nothing too exciting to report on my end..i think tonight will consist of me going home, taking care of the animals, turbo jamming and getting some shopping done!!

 

[UtahMama]

Yayyyy! I'm all perked up today! Despite the gloomy pre-snow weather today in this fine state, I got a NICE sneak peek at my weight (heh,heh smack-downers!) AND I got some serious hair color going on ! I went from fading BLAH-medium blonde to a FABULOUS light golden brown with honey and caramel hi-lights. I feel like a million bucks.

I'm all stocked up with healthy foods too. I forgot the greek yogurt at the store but got the berries I wanted to add to said yogurt.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Hey everybody, figured I'd stop in real quick. Figured 2nd day back to school would be nice and slow, back to normal, then our science teacher threw a science fair project to be due with our data and graphs in 16 days on us. When he did say that we just had to have had it all completed with a board until March, he didn't set a date in the beginning for when the project was to be completed. I'm very frustrated, because my project involves plants, and plants won't grow in my room in 16 days. If he would have explained this to us at the beginning of the year when he was talking about the project I would have had it done. Nobody in almost every class from what I hear hasn't even started. Vent over.

I didn't get ANY exercise in today as I've been working away on homework. I feel very unhappy even though I exercised yesterday! Tomorrow is a very crowded day so I probably won't get to exercise tomorrow either. Let's hope! And my eating healthy hasn't been so great, I ate out today for a school trip and I will tomorrow for another trip and Thursday we're going to pizza hut. Ah!

I hope everyone had a wonderful day and hope it continues to tomorrow!

I did like the workout. I was just pleased that I got up to 1 mile and then I was able to do up to 2 mile. I probably could have went to 3 mile but I'm not feeling well still so I decided to stop. I liked that she showed you how to modify things. Some of the stuff I can't do because I'm just starting out but then others I can. I would love to get Jillian's dvd but I don't think I'm up to that level yet,

I love the Greek yogurt too. I get the one's with fruit in them already and add bear naked granola like Gina. Do you just get the plain?

AND I got some serious hair color going on ! I went from fading BLAH-medium blonde to a FABULOUS light golden brown with honey and caramel hi-lights. I feel like a million bucks.

Any pictures for us. U just got my hair highlighted as well but just half a head (that costs me with a haircut $120 can't imagine what a full head would be). I like but don't love it. I think i want to go darker. Let me try to find a picture of my new do.

I'm all stocked up with healthy foods too. I forgot the greek yogurt at the store but got the berries I wanted to add to said yogurt.

Don't you hate that when you forget something at the store, I do that more often than I want to admit.


Ok peeps I am still sick with my head cold. I really think it's a sinus infection. I should just go to the doctor's. I should see what they have open today. I was trying to save my $40 copay (that's for speciality doctors) but I don't think that's going to happen.

Ok I just called 11:45 am I'm going. My right side of head hurts again.

Hope everyones having a great day

Ugh! I hope you feel better soon. Just so you know my DD had a horrible head cold for about 2 weeks, but she woke up this morning, happy as could be because she can breathe through her nose again!

I hear you on the co-pay. We also have $40.00 on specialists. DD is going to physical therapy 3 times a week for her knee...yup $120.00 a week in co-pays. I don't want to even think about what it would cost if we didn't have insurance!

My insurance is so yucky that I end up paying more than my premiun every month. We actually buy our own insurance because my DH is self employed so we picked something that wouldn't cost us so much per month. Well every year it goes up and things that they don't cover is making me broke. But I actually found a sitter for the kids (a friend of mine that watches kids at her home) so I can actually go to work now and feel that the kids are well cared for. Now I just need more hours at my current job (I only work one day and I need 24 hours for benefits) and I'll be all set. Hopefully after the new year I'll be able to add on at least one more full day 16 hours a week. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Other than the high co-pay for specialists our insurance is pretty good. Dh works for a hospital. DD has had 2 surgeries this year, plus a broken wrist....Thank goodness all these injuries have happened away from home or social services would be knocking on my door I'm sure. I've paid $100.00 copays to the hospital for the surgeries and the copays for the specialists and PT, but her xrays and MRI's have all been covered. Our bills would have been well in excess of $20,000.00 if we were paying ourselves. SO this year we did get more in benefits then we pay in premiums.

 

[LMO429]

So mad at myself! This morning I did Jillian Michaels 30 day shred vol 2 and I was winded through the whole thing, I had to stop here and there and I was so mad at myself because three weeks and a half weeks ago I thought vol 2 was easy!!!!! So mad that I stopped working out 3 plus weeks I feel like I am not in shape right now an it making me super mad!

Health insurance is my best friend. My chemo treatments were $7500 each and I asked the nurse what happens to people who do not have insurance and she said if they can't pay cash, they don't get chemo. Yikes! My surgery, chemo and radiation treatments were over $250,000 so without my best friend, ms. health insurance, I would have been dipping into my 401k.

This made me LOL. I couldn't even get through the opening credits. Just standing there waiting for it to start wore me out.

I was very bad in Las Vegas for Thanksgiving and put on 3 lbs. I ate so much at Red Square that I couldn't sleep that night. I'm back on the wagon again. Thank goodness I don't have another vacation for 6 more weeks.

Don't you hate that?!! It takes so long to build up the stamina and so little time to lose it!!

I have been trying to build mine back up... did hockey Mon night, kickboxing class yesterday at lunch, and hit the cross-ramp-thingy (no idea what this thing is but it hurt) for 30 min at lunch.


Headed to Disney on Friday, can't wait!!

Ok I just called 11:45 am I'm going. My right side of head hurts again.

Hope your appt. helped. I always remember going to La Brea tar pits and hearing that they found a prehistoric murder victim in the pits. She had been suffering from a sinus infection, and someone had bashed her on the head and tossed her into the pit. I wondered if they were putting her out of her misery, or if they'd just had enough of her crankiness.

Headed to Disney on Friday, can't wait!!

WOOT!

OK, I lapsed a bit today. Before I started Nutrisystem, I had ordered 5 cans of chocolate caramel popcorn from our Boy Scout nephew. It's my crack! I have a plan to bring a can to each potluck party I have coming up, but that still leaves me with one can, and I got into it today. It was , and I stopped after one handful, but I think I'm going to have to ask DH to hide it. I'm weak!
