Hi friends! This week has been horrible for eating... I have been SO busy and that is no excuse so fast food invaded my life.  Luckily I have noticed that I dont feel great when I eat it.  This week I have made a mini goal to eat NO fast food for 7 days straight.  So far I am doing well.  This thing means No coffee from Starbucks or java city.  I am going to do fabulous! Tomorrow is my weigh in and I dont expect much.  I have been getting in at least 15 minutes of exercise every day but today got in 40! yay!  see you all soon! 

The Biggest Loser TV show starts tonight too! Everyone that is such a good motivator!

YAY! Welcome aboard! Even though you have had knee surgery congrats on working to get back into shape.  I too have gained a lot of unnecessary weight and want to get back down... I have been doing VERY well with the water challenge.  Wednesday is my report day.  I have been consistently drinking 64 fl oz every day :-) It has helped me cut out a lot of the sodas and I am down to 1 or 2 per day! yay!

keep up the great work!

WOW great stats makphl! You are such an inspiration! Great job and I am so proud of you! I have been a member of calorie count since April of 2007 yes 2.5 years and loving every minute.  I did FABULOUS for a few months but in April 2008, I found out I was pregnant and went on a hiatus.  I am just getting back into it and could DEFINATELY use the bond I had with other CC members.  It is so inspiring!  I have a difficult time managing my time and finding NO excuses... That is something I am really really going to work on this time around... I have to find time to work out.  At least I know that I work out best in the mornings! :-)  This is going to be a great challenge! I know that I will be a good participant in this challenge so you can count on me! :-)

Who is Red Teams Captain? Should I make a discussion forum for Red Team? If we need a captain, let me know I would be more than happy!

I am SOOOOOOOOOOO in!  Looking forward to this SOOOOOOOOO much!

Hello Friends!  I promised I would write later so here I am :-)

I have been doing okay.  Not great not horrible.  i have been keeping mental notes on my eating but exercise is so much more difficult with working around a child's schedule.  It is something I am working on.  I did make it to the gym today.  I did 30 minutes on the elliptical machine at resistance 8!  I was sweating like a maniac!  Today was cheeseburger Sunday so I did have McDonalds but that will be it for the fast food this week.  I went to the grocery store and bought groceries to eat healthy this week.  I am going to be going to the gym this week in the mornings when I don't take Ethan to daycare and in the evenings on the days I do.  I love working out in the morning and getting off to a good start.  I was just thinking that I need to fit into a wedding dress in exactly 11 months from today and I would like to be between 165-175 by then.  TOTALLY doable!  How was everyone's weekend?  Mine went by too fast :(

I am thinking about doing the 30 day shred tonight!

Sounds So awesome to me! I may cancel my gym membership and just use my resources around the house.  DF and i thought we could save the money toward a gym membership and get an elliptical.  We want to eventually have a home gym, so if we save up for the pieces, then that can happen :-)  Have you heard of the 30 day shred?  I am going to be doing that interchangeably as well... I have heard nothing but rave reviews of it!  I hear for 20 minutes, its a full body workout!  I also want to get into yoga and pilates... They just sound relaxing.

KT come back!  I am missing you and I want to get the 411 on the wedding! :-)

Lets do July BIG ladies!

I have been doing really well with Logging my foods... I hate that it holds me accountable, but in the same, it is good too!  i did not do well yesterday at all... I was EXHAUSTED when I got home, no excuses today is a new day but No, i didn't make it to the gym last night.  Tonight, I am definately going, already have my gym clothes packed and in the car. 

I am going to shoot for the same exercise goal as you... 1250 minutes is a good starting number and i am going to increase it by 100 every month!  We can push eachother...

I have been drinking a lot this summer too... It is so nice to have a cold beer on a SUPER hot night, or a margarita, or a spiked southern tea MMMM

That is so exciting that KT is still doing triathlons!  that is amazing!  Where is she now?  Did she end up getting married and all that fun?  I told DF that I wanted to do a marathon in the future :-)  he said that I should go for it! 

Were you able to go to the gym?  How was your calorie intake yesterday?

He was doing fine until all of them came in at once... now he is very winey :-(  and on top of that, the other day, he had to get shots and was just plain miserable last week!  But, overall, he is such a good baby!  I know isn't it weird that i sprained my ankle on the rower?  How random is that!!!???? I was strapped in and i puled back to quickly a few times and my ankle twisted and it got stuck that way, I tried to walk it off on the treadmill but it just wouldn't budge... At least up to that point I got 30 minutes in!

Upward Spiral... I know ALL about those!  I REALLY need to focus on eatin better and not givin myself any excuses... that is what kills me... Even if I do a light workout, I HAVE to work out, I have to get into the mode again... Once I am there, it is easy.  Eating healthy is hard too now more than ever...

You are into participating in races now? that is SO awesome val!  great job!  What are your stats now?  How do you plan on getting back onto the wagon?  What are your goals for the month of July?

My plans tonight are to hit the gym after Nathan gets home.  He has class and wont be home til 8 so I will get to the gym and do mostly strength training tonight with a light cardio warmup.  I really want to get into yoga and pilates and am looking into the classes at my gym :-)  I can't wait to try those, I have always wanted to get my flexibility back!

I want to participate!  This is what I need :-)  I have been looking for a july challenge but a 3 month (90 day) is great too!

I guys!  I just wanted to let you all know that I had my little boy on Saturday via C-Section because I just wouldn't dialate past 4 cm:-(  I am happy to have him in my world! I topped at 245 lbs (gaining only 32lbs total).  I had a lot of water retention that I got rid of and hopefully, my weight loss continues!  I am sad I wont be able to work out as soon as I had hoped but I am aiming for January and if not January, February!  I am still creating my goals but I am happy to be back in action, at least with monitoring what I eat and when!  I have to stay healthy for my little guy!  Plus I am breastfeeding and that alone burns 500 calories at least! :-)  I miss you all!!
