Hi Ladies.

Just catching up on the activities over the weekend. Everyone seems to be doing great, new babies, heat and all.

I missed a kayak workout yesterday due to thunderstorm, but all in all had a good week. I am down nearly 5 lbs (didn't loose it all in one week). This is great for me.

Have to run, have jury duty this morning, more later

Have a great week.

Go team

Happy Monday everyone! It was rough but I managed to get 31 miles in yesterday. I really felt like I was dragging and didn't think I'd be able to do it. My speed must be a little better than I thought though because I managed to ride the route in 3 hours exactly. Do I get a double bonus for a 180 minute workout? LOL!! I am paying for it today though. What's funny is my legs feel pretty good. It's my neck and shoulders that are killing me.

Hi everyone!

Luvmycritters Wow! 31 miles!!!
Sounds like everyone is doing well.

I did a really good cardio session today and I am starting to get my head back in the game

Last week DH and I ate out every nite (not to beachy at dinner) Alas, eating out although tasty has nasty side effects like weight gain.
7 lbs in 7 days--if it weren't so sad, I would be impressed that I can gain so much weight so quickly...

When I look back through my weight tracking--7 lb loss took over 2 1/2 months to lose and 7 days to gain.
I guess this is the closest I have come to going off the wagon since recommitting in JAN 07.
So glad I still have the challenge, because I know that this too shall pass, the weight will come off (in another 2 months :twisted: ) and it further re-inforces that SB WOE is what works for me.

Lesson learned
NOTHING tastes as good as being "thinner" feels!

Hope everyone has a great week 2

Way to go everyone! Congrats on the weight loss MB. I was hoping to change my ticker today, the past 2 days the scale showed 169 but today it was back up to 170. Oh well, next week. I'm not too upset considering I did some emotional eating this week. If it wasn't for the bike miles it would be up for sure. Gotta do better this week!

Does anyone have recommendations for dvds or exercise shows I can find on TV? I'm looking for upper body and core workouts, my legs get plenty from riding.

Thanks,
Lora

Oh, I forgot my goals!

1 To stay off the scale until Sunday
2 Keep a food log for the week
3 Eat breakfast 4 days this week!

JamieM      

WOW, you all did great!!! It's been a long time since I exercised, so even though I was happy I stuck with the exercise, I didn't do so well with my goals. Hope to do better this week!

Here's to a good week!

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all up and ready to greet the day!

I had a great cardio and strength training yesterday--my upper body is screaming--so I know there is some toning going on.

Food was great yesterday--we ate at home--we are done dining out this week!

Have a great day!

Hi Gang

Looks like everyone is doing great.

Yesterday I had jury duty which consisted of sitting around on the floor (since they had brought in way too many people) until we were let go. The best part was being able to go home and cook up enough shrimp to have for lunch for three days (sometimes I have to force myself to cook ahead, even though I know it's healthier.

Anyhooo I did get to the gym, walked 30 min this morning and am planning to go to the gym this afternoon for a weightlifting session and possibly some more cardio.

Have a great day!

Salmon

ps. Otter, not sure what the scoring problem is with my results (?) I think I scored the additional cardio right, but cheated myself of a point in the new exercise category?? I'll take your word for whatever (not a math whizz)
