Amiee - I forgot to tell you. You know that boy, who was trading dnner for work, is interested. You know that, right?

I was going to say this, too. Good catch, Lisa. There's a theme here, folks...hmmkay? Stick with it.

You really think so?

Yes, we really think so. AMiee.

Lisa, I didn't take the alcohol thing wrong. You just don't want us to set unrealistic goals or give up stuff we love, which I understand, and totally agree with for the long-term. This is just a jumpstart.

Btw, I am emotionally needy too. I just bury it, which is likely bad.

You? Bury things emotionally? No way!

Seriously. Here's the theme. Listen to Lisa. Amiee, Kat, me. She's spot on. Listen to her.

OMG, I am so sorry! I am wicked dyslexic and so I expect to see it spelled the other way and thus my eyes see what is expected.

But "double e" -- cute! We could just start calling Liz and Lyz..."I" and "Y" .

OMG, I LOVE IT. Because Lyz asks the why questions and I am all about me!!!

Love,

I

Good morning everyone. Checking in as promised. Thanks for all your kind words of support. I do count on you all for that. And Erika, thanks for the Goddess Crown although it will probably fall off in transition between here and there. I cherish that I earned it though.

So here is my confessional:
1. I was going to blow off today's workout entirely and go snowmobiling with my FIL this afternoon.
2. I ate a slice of pizza and a half bag of salt and vinegar chips yesterday.

There I feel better. Now the good news that goes along with the confessional:
1. My SIL cannot pick up David so I cannot go snowmobiling, hence forcing me to take Shelby and her friend to the gym today.
2. I still managed to lose 2 pounds this week bringing my grand total to -5.5!!! My miles, in case you missed it were 25.13.

Alcohol in moderation, I am either all or nothing so I guess I am not much help here. I guess in my favor is that when I decide to really drink, I drink beer, which fills me up so I don't eat much. Sad but true.....

Love the confessional. You're indulgence is totally my style. Yum.

Also, beer stops you from eating? I want to drink your beer!!!

And way to go!!!! Weight loss!!!! Awesome!!!

This week I am -1.5lbs This brings my total to 5.5lbs so far in January

Wow, that is awesome!!! Go Kelly!!!

I want to see the weight loss totals, from the beginning of Jan until today! Erika?


I'm thinking about the gym today. Argh. I really don't want to go. I've got a cold which has made me super tired so I'm in bed by 10pm every night and sleeping like a log! I could walk, or take the Skinny Women Yoga Class.

Don't. Want. To. Go. To. Gym.

Morning all!
I've been busy at work! One of the girls her husband is in ICU. So she is out till who know when! SO I am trying to pick up some hours!
I am off to look at pellet stoves this morning with Steph. The wood stove isn't heating enough. Stephen doesn't want to heat the house with fuel just use it for the water! SO Pellet stove is it........ I guess!

I hope everyone is doing OK! I haven't caught up but I will hopefully this afternoon!

Erika hope your feeling better! I did catch that you pulled or strained something!

 

[hcb0883]

Umm, what happened here last night?? I was on until almost 11 last night??

Heather-- I am about ready to start C25K for the 3rd time (not because it didn't work the first 2 times, I just like the structure of the programs!), so feel free to ask any questions.

Amiee--So sorry that I have misspelled your name 5 million times.

What is the C25k? also 3disney kidsthanks for the link I am definetly going to try this

 

[adsrtw]

Oh a quick post since I am going to work on time ~ not early (borrowing my friend's computer at the coffee shop). All of you crack me up. I have started the nickname epidemic and I love it.

I didn't get to post my exercise ~ yes, I made it 2 1/2 hours this week. Only weighed in once (the 2nd time doesn't count since it was seconds later). Well, ok I weighed an additional time on a different scale. I have lost 1 lb!!! That is more than I expected because I am very puffy (PMS maybe?!?).

I'll jump back tonight and catch up the comments that I wanted to make this AM.

Oh no! I hope he is ok!

Good for you though getting extra $$$.

Don't. Want. To. Go. To. Gym.

Loss totals will come once everyone has chimed in for the week. Likely not till tonight.

I'll make a deal with you, Liz. I don't want to go to the gym today either. (Yes, it happens. Pick yourself up off the floor Lyz. I mean Y. ) But let's BOTH go, k? Right now...get dressed in fun gym clothes and go.

Glad to see you around, stranger! Remember when Steph used to like us?!?!

Good luck with the pellet stove...but when you buy one, buy one from someone who also supplies pellets and will guarantee you pellets for the season. Since so many people have switched to pellet stoves this year, there is a shortage of pellets to put in all of these new stoves.

What is the C25k? also 3disney kidsthanks for the link I am definetly going to try this

C25K is Couch to 5 K. Which is the link I gave you. So you are all set.

WOO HOO! Another Loser! LOVE IT! Great job, EE!

 

[amykab]

Congrats to ALL the losers this week! And add me to the list! I am down 1 pound, which I think totals 6 for the month. And it was a BIG pound, since it put me into the 180's!! (189.5)!! I too felt puffy/bloaty so I wasn't expecting much. And exercise for the week, 3/5. No reason other than being lazy.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Ok, I am in pain today. Crap! The hip thing that I mentioned yesterday has blossomed since doing my long run. Not really sure what to do about it. It is not truly painful in that I don't need ibuprofen or anything like that. It's just that every time I take a step, I get this little stab. Sometimes localized just deep, deep in the hip/glute and sometimes it radiates down my leg more.

So, what to do for a work-out? Planned for the day was non-impact cardio (either bike or elliptical) and strength, both upper body and legs (and core, of course). But...should I just rest? Should I only do upper body strength and core?

Nancy/Lisa/Lisa/Others....HELP!

Personally - I would rest (as in no impact, nothing that aggrevates)..., advil/aleeve for swelling, ice, gentle stretching...it's quite possible that you are feeling pain there due to a tight muscle somewhere else. I had what I *thought* was a hip issue, and a massage therapist was all "wth?" when she worked on my ANKLE. Yes. My ankle.

and probably more important....listen to Lisa. I am the world's WORST patient. When I was in PT last winter/spring...they yelled at me all.the.time. Take care of it.

And...shoes. When's the last time you got new running shoes?



Nancy is on track across the board!

yes, I am.

5 1/2 miles today...

Wig Wag?!
The caramel rope covered with chocolate sounds like a Curly Wurly.

"wig wag" "curly wurly" What is this? Some kind of secret code???


This week I am -1.5lbs This brings my total to 5.5lbs so far in January

YAY!!! All that dancin' and avoiding the t-o-s has totally paid off!!

No i don't have a training plan yet any thoughts or advice?

Ahhh...training plans

Do you currently exercise? (You may have said, sorry, if I missed it)...if so, what do you love to do? Or hate to do?

I couldn't weigh in this morning. Looks like my scale is broke. Even I can't gain 20 lbs in one week and then be back to normal in about 30 seconds.

DOH! Sounds like time for a new scale!

OMG, I LOVE IT. Because Lyz asks the why questions and I am all about me!!!

Love,

I

GO. Be like Nike and "just do it". You know you'll feel better if you do...

Go. Now. No excuses. You know what they say about excuses? They are like armpits. Everyone has 'em, and they all STINK.

Morning all!

Hi Steph! Missin' you around here! Good luck with the pellet stove...

What is the C25k? also 3disney kidsthanks for the link I am definetly going to try this

ah - Erika has your back already...

Well, ok I weighed an additional time on a different scale. I have lost 1 lb!!! That is more than I expected because I am very puffy (PMS maybe?!?).

LOSERS....I am surrounded by LOSERS (was a time, back in high school, where that would be totally NOT a cool thing )


Much to do today. Gotta start bangin' things off my list!!!

 

[lisaviolet]

Hi Heather!!!! Good to see this morning.

Lyz - thinking about you. Missing you. Hope your sister's pain has disappated.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Lisa! Hi!

Yeah. So I told my husband "you are a lucky man, you know that?" and in a very patronizing voice he replied "yeah. I am". With kinda like a "wth are you up to?" look on his face. Funny to see him try and figure out what I'm up to. Even funnier that I'm not up to ANYTHING. Just sayin' was all

 

[hcb0883]

Hi Heather!!!! Good to see this morning.

Lyz - thinking about you. Missing you. Hope your sister's pain has disappated.

Good Morning Nice to see you too!

 

[lisaviolet]

Kelly - no guff. 3 AM I wake up saying in my head, "Curly Wurly" and Cadbury's "Flake" - the log? We used to have CW here (calling them Wig Wags) when I was little but of course they were twice the size of Curly Wurlys cause this is North America!!!!

And you told the boy - the hubby. Yeah! Good for you. Too funny.

Erika - I say rest. Easier said then done. eh?

Big news!

I am down. Yes, I am down. I am down .8 and I'm thrilled. So that's four for the challenge I think. So eating you can say "back on". Exercise - bang on.

I said to Jean, "I'm down. I feel like such an a$$ to post a loss after venting so much."

She says, "You're so ridiculous. What's wrong with you?"

But you know what. I'm lucky, yes. But I posted earlier that I thought what can you control right now (last weekend).

So eating was off for emotional reasons. So I said, "exercise and water". And I did both through all the eating. And I hopped back on with eating by Monday.

And I have a big hint for some of you. Listen, I don't know if you remember but at the end of the last BL the last two weeks I lost nearly 3 pounds each of those weeks after being 1, 1.5 etc. etc.

So when I started eating I thought Lisa try that specific exercise rotation. I rotate different workouts from week to week (6 on, 2 off).

So it means something. It obviously is a good combination. I won't do it every rotation cause I feel like it wears me down instead of pumps me up. But here it is:

These two workouts were for the week:

1) My interval program which is full body weight moves intertwined with 3 minute hard, intense cardio. For 50 minutes to an hour. My HR is very high the entire time.

Next day:

2) An hour long cardio but I make sure I don't push it. I don't wear my HR monitor on purpose. I'm very competitive so I couldn't look at the low 120s and not start pushing it. I think of it as a long slow run kind of workout.

Next day #1 and so on and so on.

So obviously because of the loss this week and those two other weeks - it works miracles for me.

I'm a tad upset with myself because I said if I was on my heavy interval rotation that I wouldn't do anything in between. But I thought I would experiment this week.

So I'm thrilled. Thank you for all your support.

Congrats to everyoone.

Lisa - another two - you are on such a roll. Yeah.

 

[lisaviolet]

Lisa! Hi!

Yeah. So I told my husband "you are a lucky man, you know that?" and in a very patronizing voice he replied "yeah. I am". With kinda like a "wth are you up to?" look on his face. Funny to see him try and figure out what I'm up to. Even funnier that I'm not up to ANYTHING. Just sayin' was all

Woo Hoo. I love when we confuse the boys!!!! I mean men.

 

[lisaviolet]

Good Morning Nice to see you too!

Hey Heather. Are you doing okay on here? It moves fast sometimes. Make a cheat sheet for yourself. It helps. I started here in August and did that right away. There is a list of all of us on the first page or so.

Good to have you here.

 

[lisaviolet]

Okay,

Got to run.

Did I mention my parents (Heather I'm staying at my parents while they are in Florida while I sell my home)have a bird clock. Yes, it is exactly as you imagine. Exactly.

A different bird every flippin' hour. And especially for the midnight hour - an owl.

Can we say - sometimes?
