I'm back on the wagon again!!

Today: did an hour of turbo kick class, 20 minutes cycling & 20 minutes of weight machines.

I, too, do not like the new way of entering exercise. This is the primary reason I joined Traineo. When I do enter the activity it will not save it so my calories burned still show zero. I'm on IE.

I don't like the new way to enter exercise.

Guess I'm a tad late for this weigh in. I wouldn't have made the board anyways with my gain.

LW: 286.8

OPEN & CLOSE for today: 40 min of weight machines

(My back hurts from all those turbo kick classes.)

OPEN: Turbo Kick class in the morning.

CLOSE: I did 30 minutes of tennis.

After 3 hours of planting a flower bed yesterday my entire body was super sore this morning so opted not to go to belly dancing. That'll have to wait.

Open: Tomorrow is an hour of ......belly dancing. I've never done this class before so wish me luck.



I've got a LOT of belly to work with - lol.

CLOSE: Did an hour of Turbo Kick & 3 hours of gardening (planted $55 worth of flowers & it's just beautiful).

This is from Dr. Oz last week. Makes sense to me.

1. Thou shalt not wear pants that stretch.
2. Thou shalt not keep bad clothes in closet. (your old fat clothes)
3. Thou shalt not eat meat that walks on 4 legs more than once a week.
4. Thou shalt not graze.
5. Thou shalt not eat after 7:30 p.m.
6. Thou shalt not pile food more than an inch high on your plate or put food within 2 inches of the edge of the plate.
7. Thou shalt not chew food less than 20 times per bite.
8. Thou shalt not covet they neighbor's plate.
9. Thou shalt not carry small bills. (cuz they're easy to put into the soda & snack machines)
10. Thou shalt not eat while standing up or in a car.

Close: hour of Turbo Kick & walked 2 miles

Sorry I missed last week - it was a terribly stressful week both personally & professionally for me. But...now I'm super motivated to get this dang weight off of me again. I haven't had chips or soda in 5 days!! I'm back to keep a food journal which I've neglected for 5 long weeks. I'll be weighing in on Wednesday morning.

This music teacher is on Spring Break!!!!

OPEN: Got back from an hour of Turbo Kick class this morning. Am going to walk in the park with a friend at noon & then practice tennis with my son this evening (since he made the tennis team at school).

I am totally motivated to get this weight off of me. I've even kept a food journal this week after 5 weeks of not keeping one.

I've learned to substitute pickles for chips (cuz they're crunchy & salty) and I haven't had any chips or soda in 5 days!!

Once I went to the Dollar Store & bought pads & a box of chocolate covered cherries. The cashier brought my purchases to my attention & we both had a big laugh!!

Thanks Stina!! I think I dang near passed out after 30 minutes of Turbo Kick. I didn't but that's why I quit so early. My face was beet red & I just couldn't cool down enough even with water & being under the ceiling fan. Even one of the gym workers was concerned about me. I had a very stressful & emotional week at work so that didn't help either.

OPEN: Jury Duty continues tomorrow & hopefully I'll be done and can go to the gym afterwards. There's a Muscle Flex class at 4:30.

** My son made the Tennis Team at school!!!

CLOSE: Did 20 on treadmill, 20 on weight machines & 30 in Turbo Kick class & once again I'm totally pooped.

OPEN for tomorrow: I have Jury Duty & when I get back I'm going to the gym for treadmill, cycling & weight machines. They don't offer any classes on Friday afternoon or evening.

LW: 286.2
TW: 288.6

Up & down & up & down I go again.

I'll post first thing in the a.m. (Thursday a.m.) cuz I forgot to post this morning. Sorry so slow.

OPEN: will do 60 minutes of Turbo Kick class & 20 minutes of treadmill tomorrow afternoon.

CLOSE: did 50 minutes of Zumba dancing, 20 minutes cycling & 20 minutes weight machines.

(I'm pooped!!)

OPEN: Going to the gym tomorrow for an hour of Zumba & possibly some cycling.

I went on my very first cruise last summer (July 2009). We went on Carnival's Ecstasy leaving out of Galveston, TX. It was a 5-day cruise to Progresso & Cozumel, Mexico. It was the best vacation ever & totally worth the money. We had an ocean view room (no balcony but had a wonderful view from the window). In Progresso we went kayaking thru the mangroves - totally fun!! In Cozumel we just took a cab & went to the beach (Mr. Sancho's). We learned that we are not 'beach' people as we like water parks best. We just didn't like all the sand getting in your swimsuit & not being able to see the bottom like you can at a water park. Next time to Cozumel we'll try a shore excursion. They upgraded the Ecstasy just a couple of months later so it looks better now. Have fun!!!

I lost what I gained last week due to me being horribly ill with a stomach bug on Sunday. 4 hours of puking - YUCK.

Where did the graphs go? That was one really motivating tool for me.

Grrrrr....was out of town in San Antonio & also with this freezing weather I just want to stay inside, keep warm & eat up everything.

I did, however, walk a mile today.

LW: 286
TW: 286

(I'm on a business trip/mini vacation & I didn't get a chance to weigh before I left and won't be back till Sunday so this is my best guestimate.)

LW: 286
TW: 286

no change for me

WTG Ken. When I went below 300 for the first time I cried tears of joy!! I will never ever ever weigh that much again.

I'm super excited!!
