Hello guys! This morning I went to a Pilates class and then a Zumba class right after that. It went really well. I think my legs and stomach will be HURTING tomorrow, lol. I was a little apprehensive about the Zumba class but I think I caught on very well and it was soooo much fun. One of the instructors commented on how good I did. I was pleasantly surprised with it. So, I think it will be something I do regularly from now on.

Today: Pilates~ 45 minutes Zumba~ 45 minutes Whew, this was my first time doing both of these classes and I have a feeling I will be pretty sore tomorrow...

Great NSV Leslie!! And what a compliment!

My SIL teaches Zumba at the Y and she has been begging me to try it. So, I am going to go to her Pilates class tomorrow and will probably try the Zumba right after. If nothing else I'll observe and see if it's something I'm interested in.

B'fast~ 4 oz. OJ, then oatmeal Lunch~ WW spaghetti meal, 1 oz. sun chips Snack~ glass of milk, then kashi protein bar Dinner~ Campbell's soup at hand (chicken & stars), grilled cheese Snack~ slice of pound cake :Dancing_biggrin:

I'm still interested too! I'm not 100% sure I can go, but if I can, I would love to! Sounds like a lot of fun!

Thanks Leslie! Yeah, DH was acting a bit jealous too. It's soooo funny.

Great going Mia!! Sounds like you had a good day!! Leslie, good luck with the liquids and mushies. I hope it fixes your pouch. Good to hear from you Jeannie! I'm so glad you are still alive, lol. A friend reminded me not to get caught up in right now. Look at how far you have come in a year. You've done an AMAZING job!! So, even if you don't make your goal by your bandiversary, don't forget where you were a year ago and be proud of your accomplishments!!

Yeah, you're right. A year ago walking a few steps made me winded. It's great to think back and realize how far we have all come.

Ughhhhh, sorry. That must make you sooooo mad! I am planning on getting and ipod and the nike plus at Christmas. Can't wait!!

Thanks whosya!! I have started doing more strength training but I need to get a book or something to find out the best way to do it. More weight, less reps or less weight, more reps? I've always been pretty athleticly built and have pretty good muscles. I just don't want to look too bulky. Anyone know the best way to do it?????

Thanks guys! It seems like I have been working at this for soooo long and it has finally paid off! Now, I just need to be able to run the whole thing outside, lol. That is my next goal.

Hey guys!! I have a few NSV's to share with ya'll. Yesterday, I saw a few people I haven't seen in a while and one of them called me "skinny minny", lol. I so don't see myself as a skinny minny, but it felt really nice to hear. I have been getting a little attention from men lately too. It's a little overwhelming because I'm not used to it, lol. DH has noticed too and he's so funny about it all. He said he's really gonna have to start shredding some weight to keep up with me, lol. Oh, and today I ran a full 5K!! It took me about 41 minutes to do it. It's so strange to think that I can run for that long. I'm on such a high right now!! Have a great day everyone!!

I took off Saturday and Sunday. Today: Treadmill~ Ran an entire 5K for the first time....YAY!! (41:24) Treadmill~ then walked about 2 miles (29 minutes) Strength training, arms~ (30 minutes)

I am so excited ya'll!! I officially graduated the C25k program!!! I RAN THE ENTIRE 5K TODAY!!! I think not running Saturday and Sunday helped because Friday I could only go 30 minutes. My plan was to run 31 minutes and when the timer showed 31 minutes, I looked at my distance and thought....I have less than a mile to go...I can do this!! Well, I kept going and I made it!! It took me 41:24. Whooo Hooooo! aclubb~ WTG on your 5K! That's a great time too!! Kathy~ You can't hear me, but I'm shouting congratulations to you! I'm sooooo happy for you! You deserve this job and I know you are going to do a wonderful job for the company!! Whooo Hooooo!! What a great day for everyone!!!

Oneder Woman~ Thanks. That is a great NSV!! You know, I was wondering the same thing. Where is everyone? Jeannie too.....I miss talking to you guys!

Brina, you look great!! Your waist and face is really slimming up. Keep it up girl!!

I did go to church today, but I didn't run, lol. I planned on it but the day was just too busy. I am going to the Y in the morning and I am going to try to do 30 minutes again (or more if I can). I think I am going to start going to a Pilates class on Tuesdays and Thursdays every week. My sister in law teaches them at the Y and she's been wanting me to come. She showed me a few of the ab exercises the other day and me stomach is still sore! Although I love running, I really need to do some other stuff too on my off running days. She's trying to talk me into Zumba too, but I'm not sure about that one!! Lyn~ sorry the 1/2 marathon didn't work out. I'm sure you will find another to do soon.

Oh, and ya'll aren't alone. I totally blew it with the food today and didn't exercise either. I will probably run tomorrow, so hopefully I can manage to stay on track and burn those extra calories I had today.

We went to a pumpkin patch today too! I got a few pictures of my son in all the pumpkins, but he wasn't very cooperative during pictures, lol. It was too cool for us to go on the wagon ride. Today was the first day of cool weather here and we weren't very prepared. Since my son just got over the croup and bronchitis, I didn't want to risk him getting too cold. DS got to jump in the big pumpkin jump-o-line. All in all, we had good time.

6 more days!!! How exciting!! Those 6 days are going to fly by! Flatlands....here you come!!

I hate I missed the meeting. Oneder Woman, the speaker at the first meeting was kinda the same way. She said she still ate junk, just less of it and she didn't exercise either. That just goes to show how different we all are. I can't eat junk and lose. That's just not the way it works. And if I didn't exercise, I guarantee I would not be losing. Kinda sucks, but that's just the way it is for me. Thought I would share a small NSV with ya'll. Most of ya'll know I have been training for a 5k next month. I was beginning to wonder if I would be ready. Anyway, after being sick a few days and not running, I went to the YMCA today and ran. I ran for 30 minutes straight....about 2.3 miles! No way I could have done that without my band. Now I finally believe that I can be ready for the run! I finally feel like my hard work is beginning to pay off! Have a great weekend everyone!

Today: B'fast~ 4 oz OJ, then a fruit and yogurt parfait (McDonalds) Lunch~ WW orange sesame chicken meal, 2 triscuits Snack~ 3 triscuits Dinner~ Little of the following: shrimp, cabbage, carrots, sliced potatoes, mixed fruit (went to a buffet)

Thanks guys!! I'm still on a high!! Kathy~ We seem to be opposites, lol. I can run much longer on the treadmill. I can't seem to pace myself correctly outside. Oh, and you are soooo close to Onderland! I sure hope I'm there by Christmas. Good for you for getting back in the game!! I'm still praying a job will open up for you. Lyn~ Good luck with your 1/2 marathon!! I'm still praying about your job too. luluc~ Wow, a TRI? Good for you girl!! I have no doubt you will do great!! Renewed~ Hope your unfill doesn't cause too much of a disaster. It will all be worth it!! Bea~ Praying you make it into nursing school! Fanny~ Sounds like a good plan. I stayed on weeks longer than a week too. You will know when you are ready to move on. Lacey~ Sorry about your DH leaving. That sucks. Taking days off gets me off track to. Hang in there. It will get better.
