Losing weight for Mickey

[maurihart]

I said last night I wouldn't have time to work out today, but this group made me work hard to figure out a time & I got 45 minutes on the elliptical today at the gym. I even weighed in & I've lost a total of 6 lbs now! I plan to return tomorrow as well.

That's freaking awesome!!!!

 

[maurihart]

Really really bummed because my kids (who go to catholic school) have all school mass tomorrow and it's at the same time as zumba and yoga (what I had planned to do). Oldest is altar serving and really wants me to come . Soooooooo, I'm trying to motivate myself into working out on my own after mass. I normally do so much better in a class situation...kind of bummed!!

You can do it!!! Maybe sit in the back & do some sprints down to the altar...? Sorry, that immediately came to mind & was too hilarious of a visual not to share :rotf:

Hahaha!!! They do have school mass in the gym so running around isn't too taboo.......

Your reply just made my day!


The trigger that caused me to lose weight?? It was the roller coaster accident out at Six Flags in mid July -
(got my weight loss journal if ya will starting on posting #68 pn page 5 onward on my below listed Trip report titled, "MY Adventures n San Fran, Rose Bowl).

(I now jog on weekends w/'Ladybug' my best bud)
and feel soooooooooo much better.




Tho - I do say that there oughts be 'rules'

I have Juice Plus shakes all the time & they are so filling! You could sip one of those during your trip or get a venti iced tea at Starbucks which are zero calories. I think sipping on something keeps you busy & full. Congrats on your huge weight loss! I want to go back & read your story.

thank you for the kind tip - sippin' on something it is!!
(and my burned cd of vacation music to keep me in a San Fran, Rose Bowl mood).


Gotta love it - that 2.5 hr drive EACH WAY (all goes down on Saturday Oct is to see (in Dublin Texas) the Dublin Bottleworks soda plant -formely the Dr Pepper soda Plant - and I will be going also to of all places - a cheese farm to understand how they make cheese -
THEN end it with a stop off at "Granny's Restaurant" before I head back to the DFW area.
hmmmmmmmmmmm..for me losing all this weight - I sure live on the 'wild side.'


BUT YES - per the above, this is why I am concerned
so a HHUUGGEEE thank you for the tip.

You're welcome! Sounds like you have a great trip planned!

Just wanted to give an update. So far working out in the morning for me has been way better than trying to do it at night. Yesterday I ran 1.5 miles and then today I ran just over 3 miles! Tomorrow is my day off (thankfully because I am not able to walk ) I noticed that I like to run in the morning because it is really the only time I get to be truly alone all day I don't even want to take the dog with me! I hope you all are doing good! By the way if anyone wants an accountability partner please feel free to PM me, it might be a nice way to keep motivation up.

 

[maurihart]

I've had a hard few days.....had to work this morning and didn't work out. Yesterday had to go to school mass with kids. Will get back on track Monday or Tuesday!

 

[TarrahA]

Had a relapse on my diet today for lunch but did get my 3rd workout done just now so hoping I didn't set myself back too bad & I'll try to behave this weekend

I have just started back exercising, this is week 3 for me. I would love some accountability. I have 20 pounds to lose. We are headed to Disney end of April 2014 early May so I really would love to have it off by then. I am writing down every calorie and trying to stay at 1500 calories per day. Sugar and mainly chocolate is a huge weakness for me. Also, I tend to eat poorly on the weekend and it takes all week to get me back to where I was. I have to stop that cycle. Thanks for any encouragement and letting me join!

[sbastin02]

A little less than 2 months until our short trip. I have a lot to lose but way hoping for 20lbs by the trip. We (the kids and I) have been walking and I have been using myfitnesspal.com to track things. I hope I can do it.
