Hi Jen!!

I had a pretty good day here! Your new stepper sounds like a fun exercise toy! Especially if the nasty heat keeps up.

Have a great night!
Mike

 

[Jane E.]

Jen, I hear ya about the heat. Its just awful lately. How do you like your stepper. I got one years ago from HSN. The great thing is that you can adapt any video to the step. I used to add the step when I was doing Richard Simmons' Dancin' to the Oldies video. Also, I love just putting on music and doing my own workouts incorporating the step. You'll feel it by the next day! Its awesome for working on those upper legs & buns. You're doing great!

 

[Cruise04]

You're doing great Jen. Good job on the totals for the day!!!! I'm curious how you like the stepper - we do some great upper leg/thigh and butt moves in Jazzercise and sometimes they kill me, but when I'm done they feel great. And even the skinny people tell me how they kill them too so I know it's not just big ole fat me!!!!! LOL

Keep on
Chris

 

[joelyfaithsmommy]

well didn't do my stepper last night as planned, instead, since it had cooled down some, we walked 1.5 miles (gator and I)...could have walked longer easily, however it was pretty late when we started, (due to the heat) and so we had to get home and get the kiddos to bed

Going to do 3 miles tonight, and going to try that stepper out too!! I'll keep you posted on it!

food today:

BREAKFAST: cantalaupe

LUNCH: will be HC french bread pizza + lf cottage cheese

DINNER: some kind of chicken

i'm so ready for this plateau to be OVER WITH!!! i'm going to work very hard the next week so that I get a big loss!!! SWIM SWIM SWIM

hugs,
Jen

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Good luck getting in your 3 miles tonight and I hope you get past the plateau soon!

Hi Jen!

Way to go getting that walk in last night!

I so hear you about plateaus! I've been at a weight loss plateau for months now. If we both "Just keep swimming", the plateaus will go and a loss on our scales will show!

Just keep swimming Jen! Have a great day!

 

[Mykelogan]

Hi Jen!!!

Let's load up those plateau busting cannons and get shooting! I know you will bust pass it soon. Sometimes our bodies need to take a rest to adjust to all the goodness going on! You'll be back in it in no time!

Have a great day!
Mike

Hi Jen,

Good luck on getting the 3 miles in. I know it sucks when you want to do things outdoors and the weathe stops you! Very hard...I have been wanting to go for a bike ride and the weather is stopping me!

I hope you get past this plateau too!

Hope you are having a great day!

Keep up the good work!

 

[Cruise04]

You are doing a great staying on task with your food, even if you have hit a plateau. I'm sure that some of it has to be because you haven't been able to get your regular exercise in but with the heat - you don't want to push it and hurt yourself!!!!

Keep on
Chris
