Hello and welcome HealthisinpleaseSmile  The more the merrier as Boots said!

Just a quick update on my 4 weeks at Boot Camp!  Tonight was the 8th class in my four week stint, but i do have 4 more classes in the next 2 weeks that i signed up for in December!

The results are: 5.2 lbs lost & 3.5 inches lost in total for 4 weeks - not bad at allWink

How is everyone else doing?  It's going to be hard for my American friends who do celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow, which i am sure will endure throughout the weekend!  Please remember; you may enjoy ALL of your favorite foods, but just in moderation (small portions)Smile

Happy Thanksgiving to all and thank you all for your friendship & support! 

I wish you all health, happiness & joy and safe journey's if you are travelingSmile

Grace & gratitude, Sandy

Good morning my fellow MusketeersSmile

It's another great week and i am on holiday for the week and so far loving it!

Hey Boots glad to hear you are still getting your exercise in - that's a great action plan you have there!  Keep it up - YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Boot Camp is great - 3 more weeks of it then i am on my own!  And oh may i say this is day #79 on my '140 day no-alcohol fast'Tongue out 

Meg i hope you are doing well and that you & Boots have a great day!  Since i am home this week, i'll be around a lot more than usual - so please pop in and say hello and let me know how your days have been!

YEAH Boots is in the houseCool  Congratulations on the 18 lbs....that is AWESOME!! I am so proud of you.  And yes slow and steady does win the race....ha,ha!  Keep it up.  Yes i lurk just like you do, but it's usually once or less a day (if that makes any sense).  Good for you getting healthy active 5 days @ 30 minutes!  That's the way to do it, it's just not always easy to do.  Sometimes if you are like me Boots, you have to really push yourself to do that.  Do you?  I lost that battle with myself this past Sunday.....ARGH!!

Support is what it's all about, as you said Boots!  We all need each other for that extra butt kick every now and then.  I know i sure doTongue out

Hope you are feeling better!  TtylSmile

Hola galsCool

How is everyone doing?  Hope you are all still in the fight and growing stronger in faith, spirit and strength!!  I have joined the "Boot Camp" brigade and am absolutely loving it! I was completely petrified when i first signed up, but i really needed something to kick start my butt!  And it is workingSmile  I signed up for a 4 week, 8 session class.  Most of the women are around my age or younger and hell i am surprised at my strength and fitness level. I am kicking some serious young girls buttsTongue out  I am loving this so much and and am really benefiting from it that i signed up for another 2 weeks for early December. So 6 weeks, 12 classes - i must be certifiably insaneTongue out Inches and weight is going down and i have been eating the healthiest that i ever have done and hell drinking 64-96 ounces of water a freakin' day!  I am on a personal choice of a '140 no-alcohol fast'!  I just passed the half way mark yesterday at day #70! Woohoo!!!  I try to work out 2-3 more days then my 2 boot camp days and would like to work my way up to 6-7 days a week, which i once was doing 2 years ago!  I think that i need to write all this stuff in my journal for my own motivation!

Hope that everyone is still hanging tough and will check-in and let me know how you are all doing?  Believe in yourself and you will succeedWink

Ya Boots you are here and i knew you would check in here soon.  I am usually lurking, but not as much as i used to though, but i do try for at least once a day.

And Meg i am so very happy to hear from you!  I am happy to hear that you are running....that's awesome!  Keep it up and don't stress about the food.....just do the best that you can with what you have learned from your journey so farWink

Boots & Meg keep doing what you are doing, it's not easy, but remember i am always here for support in any way that i can.

I have been watching my calorie intake and have been to the gym a few times over the past 6 weeks that i have been back on my plan.  I have cut out all alcohol, diet soda's and have been drinking a lot more water than i am use too! And of course i have my Tuesday night addiction, Biggest Loser!  I am just trying to focus on the daily things and keep my long term goals in sight!  So far that is working, but i still have a long journey yet; as we all doSmile

SHOUT OUT TO MY GALSWink Where are you?  Two of you are missing in action!

Boots good job in September.....you will rock October over and above your goal! I believe in you and know that you can do it. 

GIRLS, hell we all know it's not easy, but please don't give into it!!!  This is your life, your health and you and you alone are in control of it.....you are the only one who chooses how you react to the daily situations in daily life.  Your choice....give into it or NOT!  I am choosing once again to NOT GIVE INTO IT and fight for myself and my family and friends.....this life is worth living and enjoyingCool

Okay Sandy is in the houseTongue out  I have missed my girls! I just have not been myself since my Dad died, so it's been a struggle that has affected so many parts of my life and mostly not in a good way!  I have thought of you all and wondered how you are doing.  And after spending a few minutes reading the posts here, it looks like Boots is doing AWESOMESmile....down 15lbs!!  Congratulations Boots!!  Meg i can only appreciate what a struggle that your life must be on a daily basis, but i truly admire your 'moxie'Cool....you are trying to balance your workouts with a little baby....OMG....you are my hero!!  Keep it up!!  And Meg i see that you have been in and out of here....are you still struggling along? Remember it is worth it....keep up the fight!!

Now for myself....i have been indulging in the junk food, alcohol and no exercise to speak of for the past 8-9 weeks and have gained almost 10lbsSurprised On the good side....i gave up alcohol 8 days ago and have started eating some healthier food choices and smaller portions for the past week.  And today was my first day back at the gymSmile  I walked/jogged 30 minutes on treadmill and did 15 minutes with the weights.....and i am feeling a wee bit sore and stiff already...ha,ha!

I have my goals in sight and my action plan in motion and hell i can't wait for my very much needed kick in the butt from Bob, Jillian and Alison when Biggest Loser return on Tuesday Sept. 15th....woohooTongue out

Hope everyone is well and that you will check in and let me know how you are all doing?  I truly have missed my girls and i so very much love you and appreciate your love and supportKiss

Wow that's great Boots.  You are on track and doing awesome!

Meg, glad to hear that you are back on track and kicking it!

Love oh dear Love, we have missed you so much!  I am really glad to hear that you are healthy and re-joining us!

This past week has been a tough one and i was doing okay for most of it until i hit my brother's house.  We had so many family and friends visiting and paying their respects that my sister-in-law kept herself very busy cooking and baking and of coarse in my sadness, i felt compelled to eat and eat and drink.  I am now back home and my first day back to work is tomorrow, so i am hoping to get myself back into the healthy food choices.  I will need your help and motivation, so let's keep each other on track!!

Boots enjoy your vacation and relax and chill!  Meg keep on keeping on! Love you do the same and tell us how your vacation was away with the family?

Love to allCool

I'm sorry that i haven't been around as you know i am on vacation in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Congratulations Boots, that is awesome!  I am very proud of youSmile  Meg, get back on track, don't make me kick your buttYell!

Hey gals, here i am in beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia and am enjoying the sunshine for now until the thunderstorms later today!

Yesterday i only worked for 4 hours and then my vacation time started!   I ate my regular breakfast and lunch.  Then i hit the airport last night and boy do they love to sock it to you......price wise.  They know they have you....so they had me on the cheap and greasy side.  I had an order of fries and a diet coke for dinnerEmbarassed before boarding my  flight.  Oh well........here i go on vacation again and i know it's going to be hard to make smart choices as i very easily fall back into my old, lazy and easy habits.

On the bright side...i did lose 2.5lbs in my first weekSmile!  Let's see how this week goes!

Boots & Meg and i hope soon the beautiful and very much missed Love you are all doing well today and make the smart choices in life todayLaughing

Hugs, Sandy

WOOHOO Boots is down 3lbs this week .....WOW!! That is wonderful to read! You are rocking it girl and putting to shame with all of those freakin veggies you eat!  I wish that i could do that....but that just isn't going to happen overnight.....but there's hope for me someday!  Sorry you had to work all weekend....but as you said it's for the money that you do it!  

Meg back to work today.....how did that go?  It's funny you are heading back to work and tomorrow noon i should be on vacation.  Can't wait....i have so many things and ideas in my head that i want to do.  My friend wrote me today saying that she was hoping that we could go do some hiking.  Something that i have never really done.....so that sounds like fun.  She has been looking into some local parks.  The funniest thing to read from her is that she was hoping that we could kind of have "bootcamp" while i was there.  OMG....she is officially giving me permission to kick her a**.....i love it.  With that motivation....i know that i can get back into working out!

Don't worry gals, i will be online a bit during the next two weeks.  So keep at it and keep kicking it up and have a wonderful dayWink
