Way to go Jen!

Woo hoo!!! You've busted through that plateau!! Bet you will see that 165 in no time! Keep up the great work! Sounds like you are kicking butt with your exercise. I've been very soupy lately too! Just have to keep drinking that water since there seems to be so much sodium in the soup!

Have a wonderful Monday!

Thanks guys!!!
So get this! I ahve been doing dancing with my kids for a couple week and am doing it with grades 1 -4 this week... We have been dancing for 30 out of 40 minutes per class!!! I ahev taught them things like the Hustle, Limbo rock, alley cat, macarena etc.. I have not even been counting this as exercise! What a dummy I am!!! I guess I have been having too much fun to consider it exercize!!! I think I may have to keep this unit up for a while longer!



Here's to a great day!

Hi Jen - Just stopping in to say hi. Congrats on getting to 169. You need to change your counter from 170. Getting over a plateau is a great accomplishment! I would definetly count the dancing as exercize. Sounds like fun! Have a great day!

Hi jen,

You are doing awesome. I think that dancing sounds like a fun way to get your exercise in.

Have a good evening,

Well I go 50 minutes in on the tredmill last night!!! So I had 110 minutes total between 2 30 minutes classes of dancing and the tredmill.. I am pushing myself harder and harder because I want to lose this weight...

On a side note the exercize had been great to combat stress.

Our niece has been hospitalized since last friday with bacterial pneumonia. It has been pretty resistant to anitbiotics and the day before yesterday a surgeon was called in to remove fluid from her right lung. They thought they would see improvement yesterday , but they aren't. Her Pediatrician (who is ours too) may be tranferring her to a city about 2 hours form here today. They have seen 5 cases of this bug there. It is pretty scary for everyone!

My Dad is being sent to a neurologist for an issue he is having with loss of strength in his hand and tingling... He had an MRI the other day and yesterday his doctor has decided to send him to a place a couple hours away in the other direction to see this specialist...


I have to exercize or I am going to lose my mind! My stress level is at top and I am most apt to cry at the drop of a hat! I set aside how I am feeling at work (school ~ My DN's mom teaches with me and I hear rumours all the time ~ makes me crazy! and my dad teaches there as well. ) The only good thing is I haven't really turned to food.. I am forcing myself to exercize longer and harder to try to get that runners high!

I hope there is improvement today in my niece!

Hi Jen - for you. Sorry to hear about your niece and father. I hope they get well soon. On the positive side that is great that you are using exercize to relieve stress instead of turning to food. Great job. I hope things get better for you and your family soon.

 

[DisneyEnthusiastic]

Best wishes to your neice and father. I know this is very stressful for you...but Liz is right...at least you are turning to exercise and not food. Good luck to them both and you as well. Please keep us updated.
