Welcome NFaith!! Good luck with starting the program. Where is everyone?? This thread seems to be dwindling down more and more. I miss talking to everyone! My 5k is next Saturday and I'm getting excited about it. I can run the whole 5k straight on the treadmill, but I'm not sure I can do it outside. Taking hills and the colder weather into consideration, I just don't know. Even if I don't run the entire 5k....I'm okay with that. The only thing I care about it crossing that finish line!! Hope everyone is doing well!!

Can't believe it has almost been a week since your surgery! Sounds like you are progressing wonderfully!! I just knew you would be like Superwoman going through this, LOL! I'm so glad you are doing so well!! Congrats on your weight too....it's sooooo exciting that you are almost at goal. Take care of yourself girlie!

I agree....this season sucks! But like luluc, I'll still watch because I'm hooked, lol. Brady, Vickie, and Heba need to go!! Can't stand any of them. I think they are switching to individuals next week. I think that's a good thing. I hope Vickie or Heba goes home!! Oh, and I agree about the workouts. They need to show more working out and LESS drama!!

Yesterday: Treadmill~ run/walk for 50 minutes Today: Pilates~ 45 minutes Zumba~ 45 minutes Treadmill~ run/walk (mostly run) for 45 minutes Strength training~ arms, legs, and abs for 45 minutes Taking tomorrow off!!

That's wonderful littlefroggy!! The first step is always the hardest. Good luck with it!

Hope you are still doing well today. I'm still thinking of you and praying for you.

My son slept all through the night...thank goodness. You never know what their nightmares consist of. Glad your new job is going well. Have a safe trip and we'll talk to you when you get back. I am pooped today. I pretty much exercised all day, lol. DH says I'm becoming an addict, lol. I did pilates and zumba this morning. Then, tonight I ran 3.1 miles (in intervals~ mostly running though) and I did strength training on my arms, legs and abs. I haven't lost any weight lately and I think it's due to the strength training. Hopefully it will eventuallly catch up and I'll start losing again. Anyway, I've had a busy day and I think I may take tomorrow off. Probably a good thing because I doubt I'll be able to walk anyways, lol.

I can't wait to see your results! Glad you are doing so good. Take it easy and rest up my friend.

Hey everyone! I haven't been on much today. I had a rough night last night. DS woke up at midnight crying (think he had a bad dream) and didn't go back to sleep until 5:30 this morning. So, we were dragging pretty bad today. He is asleep now, so I'm fixing to call it a night too. I did manage to run tonight and I'll be doing Pilates and Zumba tomorrow. Kathy~ Glad your first day went well!! Renewed~ get some rest and take it easy. I can't wait to see your results. You are going to be absolutely stunning.

Tootie~ WTG!! Congrats on running the entire thing! Kathy~ Good luck tomorrow!! You will do great!! Lyn~ I did the same thing. I told my neice that my friend from Texas had a 360 lift and she gave me strangest look, lol. She said, "I didn't know you had a friend in Texas". Renewed~ Already getting out the house? You rock girl!! You are my hero! Glad you doing so well. Don't over do it though. At this rate, you'll be back to running in no time!

Glad you're home Renewed! Take it easy and call me if you need me to update everyone for you. Praying you recover quickly!

YAY, you're home!! Me and DS have been at his cousins fishing birthday party since lunch. I was going to give you a call if I didn't see a post from you. When I woke up this morning, my first thought was "I wonder how Renewed is doing", lol. I still can't believe how good you sounded on the phone yesterday. You rock!! Take it easy and try to get some good rest (if that's possible, lol). Call me if you don't feel up to posting and I'll update everyone. And ditto on the bestest band buddy....you're the best!!!!

Welcome Sassys!! Congrats on your surgery. How have you been doing since your surgery? This is a great group of folks here. I look forward to chatting with you.

Hey Shalee! Glad you are doing okay. Hope you have a speedy recovery. Take care and get lots of rest!

Okay guys, Renewed is doing GREAT!! She called me herself and she sounded sooooo good! The surgery went very well. She is staying in the hospital overnight and should be going home tomorrow. I can't get over how good she sounded on the phone. They did do the 360 degree lift and I'm soooo glad it worked out that they could. I'm soooo excited for her and I can't wait to see her results!! She appreciates all your prayers and support. Keep remembering her in your prayer and thoughts as she recovers. She will be posting as soon as she feels up to it. Thanks guys!

Hi guys! I just got home and I thought I would update about Renewed. I talked with her DH about an hour ago and she was still in surgery. They decided to do the 360 degree lift, all the way around the tummy and back, and that's probably why it's taking a little longer than expected. He's going to call me when she is out of surgery, but I'm going to have to leave in just a bit, so it may be a little while before I can post again. Keep sending up your prayers and positive thoughts. I'll update again as soon as I can.

Sorry you are having a rough day Mia. If you are feeling burnt out, don't push yourself. Take a break from the exercise and just focus on making good healthy food choices the rest of the day. Feel better soon hun!

Congrats on your surgery date EbonyRose!!!

Yesterday: Treadmill~ High intensity run/walk intervals (50 minutes) Strength training~ arm machines (20 minutes) Today: Zumba class~ 45 minutes Treadmill~ High intensity run/walk intervals (40 minutes) Upper body and abs with trainer~ 25 minutes That's gonna get me through the weekend. I'm just gonna take it easy until Monday.

It's raining cats and dogs here. Well, I've had a busy morning. I went to Zumba this morning. It was sooooo fun!! Then, I ran on the treadmill (high intensity run and walk intervals). Then, one the trainers at the Y, worked with me and my SIL on upper body and abs. I am sooooo tired...but it's a good tired, lol. I think that's gonna take me through the weekend. I'm not planning on doing much until Monday. We have a birthday party to go to tomorrow and I just can't find the time to do anything on Sundays. Between church, lunch, choir practice, then church again, there's no time, lol. Hope everyone has a great weekend! I'll be sure to let you guys know when hear about Renewed. She's in surgery as we speak. I'm soooo excited for her. Can't wait to hear from her hubby!!

Oh....and Happy Bandiversary Renewed!! What a great bandiversary gift you are getting, lol. One that you totally deserve for all your hard work.

Happy Bandiversary Renewed!!! I commented on the other thread, but I think it's worth mentioning again. You look FANTASTIC!!! You really do inspire me. I'm sending up prayers for you.
