We decided to get Greek take out last night, which could be a recipe for disaster.  But the restaurant is only half a mile away so we decide to walk the dogs over there.  Yea exercise!  Still managed to only go over 2 calories with the Greek food.

So last year I lost 18 pounds between July and Novemeber and managed to keep it off most of the year.  As a teacher I'm up and about all day and last summer I was working at a day camp so I was also pretty active.  This year I have very little to do, but I joined a gym to stay motivated and take classes at least 4 times a week, plus weights for toning and the exercise bike for more cardio.  I'm up  5 pounds and I'm not losing inches because my clothes are starting to fit tighter.  Does anyone have any ideas for what I can do during the day so that I'm not just sitting around?  Oh yeah, one more thing, I'm getting married in December so I'd love to be down in the 130's by September or so.  Thanks.

Susiecue, good to see you too.  I'm just getting back into my exercise routine.  I'm going to try the routine the DVD I got tells me to do, so hopefully that will help with results.  I actually didn't gain any weight over the holidays because we went hiking about 4 times.  I guess I should do that more often.  Is it warm enough for you to bike ride yet?  I'm not sure where you are.  Right now, it's gorgeous here in the Mesa, AZ area.

I am back also.  I got up and worked out this morning and logged everything.  I need to get back to my routine now that my schedule is less hectic.  Of course, it's going to be hectic again in a few months, but I'll deal.  The fact that I'm still down 17 pounds from where I started, even through the holidays, is good by me.

Wow, I haven't been on in two weeks and neither has anyone else.  I guess the holidays are hitting everyone hard.

I still haven't gotten down to my goal of 146.  The closest I've been is 148.  The boyfriend and I went to Sedona this weekend and ate way too much.  I was hoping with all the biking and hiking we did that would make up for it, but I gained two pounds instead.  Back up over the dreaded 150.  Gotta get that back down.  My new goal date is the end of the year, which may not work with the holidays.  I also haven't kept up logging my calories in two weeks, so I need to get back to strict calorie counting.

Hope everyone else is doing well and having good holidays.

Back to 148.5, which is what I was at last week before the terrible eating.  My show is over so I can get back to normal (for a little while at least).  I supposed to be down to 146 by tomorrow for the bet my boyfriend and I made.  But, considering he's only lost 7 pounds since July, I think I still win!

Down to 148 today!  That means only 2 more pounds to my goal weight and I need to be down to that by next weigh in to win the bet my boyfriend and I made!  He, on the otherhand, has only lost 7 pounds since we started this 6 months ago because he's not trying at all.  I guess it'll be a little longer til we get a Wii in the house.  But I'll have my trip to Sedona!

Have been really bad at putting in what I've eaten this weekend.  I didn't eat badly, just too much going on.  Actually, I probably ate my whole amount of calories at breakfast on Saturday.  My parents came to see the house (we live about an hour away) and I made breakfast.  It was all healthy stuff, but it was just so much.  I made whole wheat banana bread muffins, veggie egg casserole's and my whole wheat pancakes with the peach syrup.  Luckily, I wasn't feeling well yesterday, so I didn't eat much.  My boyfriend made homemade chicken soup with lots of garlic and parsley.  So yummy!

I was feeling good today until dinner.  Made chicken fajita's and thought I was being good by using whole wheat tortilla's and black beans, but I'm about 300 calories over what I should be eating.  I also haven't been able to exercise for the past two days because our school's dance concert is on Thursday and I've been working on lighting the show.  I can work out tomorrow.  Yea!  Never thought I'd be so happy to exercise.

Where is everyone?
