Disneyland Divas working out, getting healthy, and looking fine in '09!!

And for the QUOTE OF THE DAY:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
-Theodore Roosevelt

I love these quotes! Thank you. And congrats on the loss!!!

Happy Saturday!

Made it to the gym today for 1hour exercise class. Then was with the boys for the last soccer game of the season. Not planning much for this weekend, other than resting and catching up on chores. And maybe a trip to the lego store.

Hope everyone is doing well! Keep up the good work!

And the QUOTE OF THE WEEKEND:
The secret to productive goal setting is in establishing clearly defined goals, writing them down and then focusing on them several times a day with words, pictures and emotions as if we've already achieved them.
Denis Waitley

I finally weighed in today and I'm up 5.5lbs in three weeks. During these past three weeks I only really exercised two days. I'm back on track now! Hopefully I can shed those 5.5lbs in two weeks.

So I adjusted my weight loss ticker because I need to be honest with you guys and myself.

Congrats on stepping on the scale! And good job getting back on track. You did it before and you can do it again!!!

Happy Monday Ladies!

I'm feeling so overwhelmed lately. I think I need a trip to Disneyland! Fortunately, our APs remain expired, so there will be no foolish trips down South. But I am so ready for a little escape.

Ate pretty bad this weekend. I did exercise, though. So hopefully that helped. I hope the rest of you are feeling a little more on top of your game than I am.

And for the QUOTE OF THE DAY:
There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.
George Matthew Adams

Have a great day and a GREAT week!

Hi everyone!!!

It's been a busy day. My kids are off today and tomorrow for the Veteran's Day holiday. Noelle and I went out grocery shopping and $380 later, I am broke and tired and stressed and ready for something bad for me!!! LOL

I hope everyone is doing ok. Cristabel you can lose those in no time, I know it!!! Jen, sorry you've been feeling overwhelmed. Hang in there!!


Talk to ya'll later.

How come I'm sensing that people aren't feeling too jazzed about their "lose weight and get healthy" programs lately? Maybe because no one is ever on this board? Ladies...where are you? Are you all plugging along, doing very well, but just not able to post? I hope so! The most challenging part of the season is approaching, when dark days and fattening foods beckon' us to snack and lie the couch for comfort and relaxation. The new year will be here before we know it and it's up to us where we will be in meeting our goals.

Ladies...let us know how you are doing!

So here's my QUOTE OF THE DAY:

AND IMAGINE
Recall the things that have held you back. And imagine how you now
can get beyond them.
Think of the problems that have frustrated you so. And imagine how
you can now rise above them.
Look at how far you've come. And imagine how far you can now go.
Think of all that you've learned. And imagine what you can now do
with that knowledge.
Consider all you've done in the past year. And imagine what you'll
now be able to do.
You're now in a better position than ever to imagine the very best.
And what you can imagine will lead to what you can be.
-- Ralph Marston

I haven't lost any more weight. Last week I ate huge mess of junk food and I felt guilty joining in on this board, because of it. The weather is getting cooler and it's making the pig in me come out and play. Oink Oink!

Hopefully I can get back on track soon!

Bad piggy!

 

[mommaU4]

Hi ladies, I'm here!

Wendy, I think you are right. When people have been doing "bad" they tend to stay away from this thread or anything to do with weight loss.

But ladies, that's when we need this the most!!!! That's what we are here for is support!! No one here is perfect, no one is expected to be. It's a battle for me every single day, and it always will be. Sometimes I can resist temptation, sometimes not. But I love knowing I can come here and no matter what, I won't be alone.

Hang in there ladies!!! We can SO do this!!

 

[daisy_77]

I am not being bad...I just have been neglecting this thread. You all are doing awesome. I have not weighed myself in about a week. I am the same. I need to get busy on the exercise. Now that I am on ChaCha every spare moment I have, I have not been exercising. I do like to take a 30 minute walk at lunch...I don't really count that though since I try not to get sweaty.

So you've just been neglecting us????





I hear ya on the exercise and ChaCha thing. I spend way too much time on my booty. Not a good thing. I never did like exercise though. That's my hardest struggle right now, getting motivated to get moving!!

 

[disney-inspired]

I'm not exercising today because I'm SO tired from yesterday and I don't like working out two days in a row. I think I'll work out MWF. That way I don't burn out.

My eating has been splendid today and I have drunk 4/8 cups of water.

That's all for now, I have chores to do.

 

[grizbuzz]

Hi Ladies! Thanks for checking in!
And where are the others??

I hope no one feels there are weight loss requirements to be active on the board. There are no requirements! Just that you are looking to get and give support and encouragement on our road to getting and staying healthy. No judgements. No prerequisites. No needing to avoid us just because you aren't doing as well as you'd like. We're all here to help each other along on our individual journeys!

Well, I talked to my trainer yesterday. I wasn't able to go to the session because my son was sick. But I guess I have a running training schedule again, so I'm going to be kicking up my running a few notches! Time for me to get back on the exercise bandwagon. Let's get moving ladies!!

And for the QUOTE OF THE DAY:
If you've invested enough effort and energy to get discouraged, you're well on your way to success. Discouragement is a certain weigh station on the road to any worthwhile achievement.
If you know and care enough to be discouraged, you've made considerable progress. Learn what the discouragement has to teach you and then continue moving forward. It may seem as though you'll never make it, but in reality you're already there. Discouragement tempers and hardens you; it does not stop you.
Reflect on your discouragement and you'll discover that it is a result of your commitment. You've already invested your time, your effort, your life. Soon, you'll reap the full reward of that investment. Let discouragement spur you on.
Motivation is born of desire. The stronger the desire for something, the stronger the motivation.
Endeaver to keep the promises we make to ourselves... We deserve to be treated with the same love and respect that we would give to others..... By CW on bootcamp buddies

Stay Positive!
Get Moving!
Drink Your Water! (where is our water cheerleader, btw?)
And Take Care of Yourself!

Is tomorrow really weigh in day!?

Ugh, I did SO bad this week. The boss brought in a box of full size candy bars from Costco, and I couldn't resist. Oh well, lesson learned, I need to start work on resisting a whole candy bar and move on down to the mini size ones and eventually I hope to kick the habit of eating sweet chocolaty goodness so frequently.

 

[disney-inspired]

I have eaten pretty well so far this week. I need to go to the gym today and tomorrow to make sure I have exercised at least 3x this week. I brought my lunch again It's really hard for me to get up and make lunch instead of buying food so I'm really proud of myself.

Today I have a half sandwhich on wheat bread and light, beef pot roast stew (only 160 calories for the whole can!). I might buy a diet coke or diet energy drink cause I'm starting to feel shleepy. I stayed up late to watch 300 online (for free ).

Hopefully I will see a loss this week.

Did you know that a brisk walk a day can cut chocolate cravings? That's what the experts say. Give it try!

I got my new training program today. Party is OVER and workouts are starting up in full force. I'm scheduled to run 6 days a week, with speed workouts and long runs, weight lifting twice a week and I can do cross training like pilates and yoga on top of that if I want. No break on Thanksgiving. No break on Christmas. Time to kick it up a notch!!!

Now the QUOTE OF THE DAY:
Every day of our lives we are on the verge of making those slight changes that would make all the difference.

[mommaU4]

Jen, your workouts sounds intense!

Good luck to everyone tomorrow! I hope the scale brings us all some nice numbers.

 

[daisy_77]

Cristabel...good luck on getting a loss this week!

Jen, just reading your workout is making me feel like I worked out.I wish I could have the will to workout as hard as you.

Cristabel...good luck on getting a loss this week!

Thank you! Today I took my dog walking for half an hour as opposed to going to the gym.
