Re: 2nd Week of Weight Loss Challenge Goal Date 10/31/06

I'm still here!! My crazy work schedule is less crazy for awhile. Last week went ok - I maintained my weight 137. Eating was alright - not great, but better than I usually do on my 15 hour work days. So this week I'm supposed to bring it on with the excercise...except I have horrible cramps today

I wanted to get my body moving so I walked to run all my errands. Walked maybe 5 miles or so. I might still hit the gym and try to run 2 to 3, but my couch is looking mighty comfy right now.

This week - run or yoga everyday, swimming lesson on Saturday. If I don't run tonight I will yoga and run tomorrow.

Hope you all are well!

Dani,

I don't refuse myself all the time, but I was up a half pound (pretty sure it was water but was not cutting myself any slack so I withstood the temptation. I lived to tell about it.

I do get occasional cravings but my hormones are running amuck at the moment. I had my uterus removed (left ovaries) last summer and I think that my ovaries are about to give up the ghost. I've been having lots of emotional stuff, hot flashes, break outs etc....all signs that my ovaries are acting up. They had stopped for a bit. My doc warned me I might get this. It also might be affecting my weight at the moment. I just can usually tell if I need to give in or if I can "gut" it out and I knew that I didn't need to yesterday. Thanks for the suggestion of the pre-arranged baggies with servings already divied out. That is a great idea. I usually just buy a york peppermint patty. I am afraid if I have candy in the house one serving won't be enough. I have a wicked sweet tooth and have a hard time saying no once I have started to indulge. I do better to go and purchase something small rather than have it in the house.

How are you doing? How is hubby? Prayed abit harder for him this morning after hearing about the unsuccessful attack in Syria. Take care.

Tracy

Tracy - I'm assuming he's fine. He sent email to my daughter and me on Sunday afternoon, nothing since, but that's to be expected. When he's away, though, I pay much less attention to the news. I just can't deal with it, so I pull an ostrich!

Bellydancing tonight, and it's my intermediate class where we're learning a dance for an Oct performance, so no more undulations! Well, a couple, but my tummy can handle that. I'm going to try and ride my bike while watching Dancing with the Stars tonight, I feel so bad that I couldn't do anything last night.

Hello to everyone! Keep moving!

I was 169 last week (granted, water weight) and 161 this week.

I did lose an inch of my waist though. That always happens the first week of a diet, no matter how much I eat, just drinking more water. I dunno why.

EIGHT POUNDS!!!!!

Holy cow Greeneggsnham.....GREAT JOB!!! I have never lost that amount of weight dieting or running. I have lost 5 before by sweating during a marathon but never while dieting. Incredible!

What ever you are doing...KEEP IT UP and tell us too.

Great job Dubyah, so good to see you!! I do a modified south beach. My kidneys couldn't handle phase 1. Hang in there and keep moving this is just the beginning.

Re: 2nd Week of Weight Loss Challenge Goal Date 10/31/06

Ok, looks like we have had a bunch of sucess this past week.

Runrwife, gr8 job on the 2lbs!!! Yes you are worth it. Keep up the good effort and continue to reap the rewards. Hang onto that feeling you had when you realized you were worth it. Write it down and put it on the fridge so you remember when your will is weak.

Dani, I wish I could attend all the dance classes you go to. It sounds like more fun than just going to the gym. I love to run but the rest of it I only do because I have to burn calories. Think of me tonight as you dance.

Jt, great for NOT gaining. Hope you get to feeling better soon and that the cramps go away FAST.

Keep it up everyone, we are all committed and seeing the results of all our work and effort. We are the
INCREDIBLE SHRINKING PEOPLE.

Re: 2nd Week of Weight Loss Challenge Goal Date 10/31/06

Hey where is everyone ??????

I just got back from a 6.5 mile run. It was HOT. But I did it. I decided to do it instead of doing all the stuff at the gym because I got a surprise in the mail yesterday. It seems way back in january I signed up to do a half marathon at Camp Pendleton, a Marine Base. Oh joy. LOL. I totally forgot I signed up for this. The good news is that I am up with my training and should be able to make a good showing. The bad news is that its a killer course. Its really called "heart break ridge half marathon". UGH! Anyway......I'll let you know how I do.

Had a good food day too.

Sigh...I'm tired.

Tracy - When is your 1/2 marathon? Mine is getting closer....10/22.
I'm currently having issues with my hip....started last week and has just gotten worse. So, I ran 12 on Sunday, 3.5 on Tuesday and am now I'm taking a few days off to see if my hip gets better. Yuck! Not running is certainly not helping me lose weight. I need to get the gym and at least try to do some circuit stuff and mabe see how riding the bike feels on my hip.

Re: 2nd Week of Weight Loss Challenge Goal Date 10/31/06

clcbear, where is your HM. I noticed the date is the same as when i'm running a marathon. Are you running the nike one?

As for me...I haven't weighed myself all week, but I'm giving myself some room. I returned from South Africa this past weekend, and am giving my body some time to readjust to the food and exercise that I'm accustomed too (too many work dinners, bottles of wine and red meat, every night, while I was gone). I feel pretty good and can tell I've already dropped a lb or two...Plus, these next 3 weeks are crucial for me, so I've been eating to work-outs strong. My only caveat is that the sun keeps getting later and later to run...I can only come into work so late. However, going to do a long run this weekend.

Great to hear of so much success this week already!

Clc.....I am doing one this Saturday, its the Camp Pendleton Heartbreak Ridge and then I am running the second half of the Valley of Fire marathon with Dean Karnazes as part of the Endurance 50 on Oct 6th. I also have a 15k race on 9/23 so the next couple of Saturdays are busy "racing". Wooo hoooooooooooooo.

Good morning, ladies (the men seem to have gone bye-bye)

I've been feeling very blah the past few days, not much energy AT ALL. I went for my private dance lesson last night, but I didn't go early for the group lesson. Not really sure where my get up and go has gone, but I'd like it back, please! Tonight's my basic bellydance class, and so help me, it's nothing but a light vegetable soup beforehand!

GreenEggsand Ham and Dubyah, good going, ladies!
