What about riding a bike?

Congrats Sam! If you can do that what's a measly 6kgs?

6.17 very slow very painful miles on bike
2673.18

Good luck be positive!

I need some company...and someone to keep me from falling off...again

Al I've been blessed enough to have those divine Canadian butter tarts back when I lived in Seattle, you are a stronger man than I. We had donuts tempting us today at work, but watching the guy suck the septic out really helped the resistance.

Now get your arse back up here on the damn wagon!

So any recovery tips? I spent a good 20 min stretching out my legs, gonna get some miles on the bike I think, maybe break up some of the lactic acid. Lots of bananas and my multi for potassium...

holy muscle soreness Batman!!! Even the tops of my feet hurt today and some please tell me how being 650 net calories shy of my 1500 I can have gained 1.2 pounds between yesterday am and today am?!?!? SO Frustrating!!!

You have no idea...I almost cried twice...and I don't cry, whine yes cry no. And I've never wanted to puke from exercise.

New fitness goal...be fit enough to make it through an entire hard core class without wanting to cry or puke

2.4 pounds down 20.6 to go... and I've extracted the promise from my hubby that the next time I start to swan dive off the wagon that he'll risk my hurt feelings and TELL me, cause I really don't want to lose this same weight again!

5 miles elliptical, 2 miles bike
2590.45

12 Bike miles for me today 2562.02

So excited for you rach!

just so aggravating...I have already lost this weight once...and now I'm paying the piper for my own blatant laziness and having to lose it again. If I had just kept going with my program I'd probably be the 115 I was aiming for...

Morning was rough...dragging myself out of bed I really wished I could've gone to bed the 2 hours spent at the gym last night earlier. Looked like a pack mule leaving the house, gym bag, purse, suit for job #2, tote bag for lunch, dinner, snacks & tablet. So much prep work just to go sweat seemed ridiculous while I was bleary eyed tired. Now as I sit here with my breakfast in my belly and my body somewhat energized from it's return to exercise, it's quite worth it I think.

Hungry today, but did pretty good in the calorie department.
B:Cranberry oatmeal
2 cups of tea with half & half and sugar
S:strawberry Greek yogurt
Apple
L:roasted chix with Risotto and green beans
S: 10 Snyder mini pretzels
D: meatloaf, roasted Yukon gold potatoes, green beans
PWOS: large glass 2% Choc milk

4.5 miles on bike and 2.5 miles on elliptical.

2536.32

LOL...hubby got laid off to start the New Year off with a bang, so EVERYTHING is an expense right now. But for me it's an expense worth spending cause it eliminates the need to buy new clothes, which is where I'd gotten. All the pants that were my "fat pants", the ones that were a bit roomy but not falling off are now a bit SNUG! So I can either allow myself to go buy pants in a 12, or I can lose the weight to wear the ones I have. I also have a race planned for October Zombie Apocalypse Runand everyone knows the first rule of a Zombie attack is CARDIO!!!

Thanks, down my first pound...probably all water, but at this point I'll take whatever I can get that keeps me in the decreasing numbers, I was way too close to 150 for my liking. I can't wait to take some classes, but I think jumping right from the couch to body pump might be counterproductive. So I'll start with cardio and weights on my own for a few weeks, then in march I'll start adding the fun stuff like trx, boot camp, body pump. My gym's added some interesting looking small group classes...

So 2 miles on elliptical, 3 miles on bike, 1.5 miles on stairway to nowhere. Total of 6.5 miles...

2448.74

So 2 miles on elliptical, 3 miles on bike, 1.5 miles on stairway to nowhere, and some random weights completed my first day back at the gym.

Dinner was Flank steak, black beans, yellow rice, tomatoes, cheese, salsa, lettuce, Greek yogurt with a Carb balance tortilla.

so here's today thus far...

2 cups of tea with sugar and half & half
maple brown sugar cream of wheat


baked potato with reduced fat sour cream & chicken breast

sometimes the stars align just so....It took me 22 years to marry the guy I met at 14, cause really who expects to meet the right guy right out of the gate....?!?!

5 course seduction menu....sounds like you are back in the saddle (or at least planning to be...)

Enjoy the butterflies and the excitement....

that would be Willy...very dear friend of ours who gets friendzoned by every woman he meets cause he's just that awesome.

LOL..they don't usually overlap! I just tend to have a lot of male friends to turn to in my time of need...

I can't abide the taste of the metamucils of the world so I use fibercon, same general principal no nasty taste as it's in pill/capsule form. I've had a lazy intestine for years now, so that does help.

I'm oddly looking forward to the gym, I'm afraid to do any classes just yet, I think I'll wreck my fat ass if I jump in that full throttle. So tonight will be cardio for an hour MINIMUM followed by a circuit up in weights.

It's so easy to gain and so hard to lose...kind the reverse of my money which is so hard to earn and so easy to spend.
