WAY TO GO on the 2 LB loss!!!!!!

Keep up the good work!

How was your DS bonspiel and your friday night curling this weekend??

Thanks Laurie, he did great. This is his first year playing and is already the Skip. He appears to be a natural curler, it is fun to watch him.

Great reading about your training and your weight losses. Way to go.
I'de love to do the 1/2 next year. Have you any idea of the costs involved? How much is registration etc.
My usual Jan and Feb thing is to hibernate as much as possible. Not this year!!!! Its been great training.

 

[Hockeychic]

Hi Carole, Sorry I haven't posted here in a while. Thank you for the kind words.

The 1/2 marathon I think was $95.00, pop over to the events portion of this thread, there are so many people there doing different races, it is a great motivator.

Feb 17th check in

B: 41.75

Well I am back and gainned 7 pds!!!! This isn't good in a month and a 1/2 I gained 7 pds. I know why though so no blaming anyone but myself.

I am back with some new determination and I know what worked for me earlier in the year so I will just rededicate to myself and Get rrrrr done.

I am now in training for a 1/2 marathon on Sept 30th with another 1/2 on Jan 12....the big one .... Disneys 1/2 marathon.

I will do a weight and measure tomorrow morning and get back at er.

[Hockeychic]

I am getting back at it again.....life just gets in my way sometimes....lol

I have one planned cheat day....Aug 18th is my family reunion, first one ever and there will be about 70 people there so I do plan on having a good time but I am back at it today. I will post measurements and weight tomorrow since I haven't done that in a long time but I think I am back to abou 170 and I am back drinking pop.

Starting this Sunday the pop will go again, I am gradually getting off it this week.

This Sunday it will be 6 weeks till my first ever 1/2 marathon so I hope to be down to about 165....about 15 pds...I know that sounds like alot but if I lose the pop and start eatting better I believe I can do it. Plus I don't want to carry around too much extra weight. 21K or 13.1 M is along way to be lugging my fat behind around.

Daily check ins to come...this is a promise to myself.

I have done great today, I also plan on getting in some walking tonight, nothing heavy about 4K. Also, I am borrowing a idea from a fellow WISH teammate and will do crunches and push ups each night.

Way to get back at it Kim. Remember:

Fast like speed,
Smart like street car,
Tough like hockey puck.

Ok vent over back to work.

I would love to be back to 160 by the end of the month. A little much maybe but I am going to try.

I want to be at the most 145 by the Marathon weekend.

Hey, Kim! I am sorry I haven 't been around. How you doin' girl? Thinking of you and hoping all is well. Good luck on your weight loss goal, but as I was just telling another WISH friend, I read a fellow WISHer's observation that we can control the amount and quality of what we put in our mouths and the amount and quality of exercise, but we have no control over whether our bodies drop the pounds. Yep, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Sounds like you are doing well to control what you can and hopefully, you'll see the results you want! Can't wait to see you at ToT!!

 

[Hockeychic]

Hi cam, Sorry I haven't been back here for while....Again disgusted with myself not being able to get this weight off.

It was great seeing you on the weekend, you look amazing!!!!!

here we go for attempt # 12433.........

It was AWESOME meeting you this weekend, Kim!!!

I, personally, thought you looked GREAT!!! And if those are supposed to be your measurements, I'm not buying it!!

You CAN DO THIS!!!!!!

 

[Hockeychic]

Ya think I have been holding a bit of water.... I am very happy with these numbers after 1 week.

The POP is still not in my diet which would account I think for alot of the success I had this week.

Just over 2 weeks till my 1/2.....I am hoping to lose as much as possible before then but my big goal is March 6th. I am heading out on a caribbean cruise and need to tone up and lose alot of weight.

Good luck to anyone who has read my posts and all the best for 2008!!!!
