Chocolate... How are you doing?? Are you feeling better??

renewedhope · 04-03-2008, 02:24 PM

So far today... 30 minutes on the stationary bike, and just got back from the gym I went 2 miles (30 minutes) on the treadmill alternating 3 minutes of running with 1 minute of walking plus warm up and cooldown. Feels so good to be active again.

Okay, I haven't weighed in a few days and I am not going to until Monday. But I joined the gym yesterday and I started this morning. I did a 10 minute warm up on the treadmill, then 45 minutes of strength training (arms, abs, and legs), then 30 minutes on the elliptical. I feel really good today, tired.....but in a good way. I probably won't be able to walk tomorrow, but I feel really good today, lol.

I think it's a national thing. Pretty cool. Let me know how you do. I will cheer for you as well, as I cross the finish line.

Okay, I'm taking a break from exercising this weekend. I'll start back on Monday. Yesterday I went to the gym and did 15 min on the treadmill, and 30 min on the elliptical. My arms are really sore from the strength training on Thursday, so hopefully by Monday they won't be.

Renewed, you are doing so well! I've really gotta get serious and start losing again!

This new diet plan hopefully will help us all get back on track. I am training for a 5k and am entered in a weightloss challenge at our gym. The prize is $500.00. That's pretty good incentive. Georgia, you have been such an inspiration to me. This is a journey. There will be ups and downs. Your ticker shows lots of ups!!!! You rock!!!

Thank you Renewed! I am trying to get a fill next week, so that may mess up the diet plan a little because I will be on liquids for a few days if I get the fill. No biggie though, I'm still gonna start on Monday as originally planned and take it from there. I'm excited about this and I hope it helps us both. Keep up the good work girl!

Oh, good luck with your challenge! I hope you win!

Okay,
Get up this morning and weigh 1 1/2 lbs more!!

. Even went to the gym Wed,Thur and Sat. This sucks. Talk about discouraging! Hope maybe just retaining some fluid?? My next trip to the dump my scale might be going with me!

To everyone else.Congrats on your progress
