have fun in your classes ladies! its a strength training day for me ... yay ... a circuit of arms, core, abs, legs 3 times ... oh dear!

thanks for the congrats, ladies... i am having LOTS of cravings today... not sure why, specially since i currently have a bite of salami stuck in my throat... :rolleyes2: guess no more salami / cream cheese roll ups for me.

i work out 5-6 days a week. M, W, F, Sa - cardio T, R, Sa - strength / core i agree with travelgirl - anything consistent is what should be done (except of course consistently nothing :rolleyes2:)

i mostly stay in the 4.2 - 4.6 range and then run in spurts up to 6.5 for a minute. play with it - push your comfort zone a bit.

wow, i havent updated this thread in awhile. been hanging out with the Feb / March gang. :rolleyes2: let's see ... doing Atkins, weight is dropping, working my ass off at the gym. i am now 'recommitted' (or should be committed, one or the other). 45 mins cardio a day 4-6 days a week (it was originally 5-6, but with the intense strength training, not sure if i can do both). then strength training/core work every other day. ideal week will look like this: Mon - 45 mins cardio Tue - Core/Strength little bit of cardio Wed - 45 mins cardio Thurs - Core/Strength little bit of cardio Fri - 45 mins cardio Sat - training appointment with Steph and then running with DH Sunday - day of rest

wooo hooo mary!!

renewed, that sounds like a great plan today. stick with it, i know you can do it!

well i lost 1.2 pounds. another .9 and i will be the lowest i've been in ages (well over a decade!!) i am getting great ideas from you guys about recipes/whatnot. maybe going to change my menu up this week now. that sausage and cheese sounds good, maybe i can make a crustless quiche. i have a recipe for one, and it is SO tasty. even DD & DH love it! hmmmmm.... have you guys been to this site: Linda's Low Carb Menus & recipes - Recipes tons of ideas here. my plan for the day: b - 1/2 serving muscle milk - cake batter (new flavor) l - 1 brat with spicy mustard s - 1/2 serving muscle milk - Peanut Butter chocolate d - (may change) beef smoked sausage and spicy mustard. im getting tired of sausage type foods already...

yeah, I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do (other than nothing)... so I figured 15 mins of each. I will strength train tomorrow - not sure what cardio will look like. maybe step ups in between sets.. ???

you are all so creative. I have such boring things. bloo - what kind of sauce did you use? that hamburger/sauce sounds really good.

tami, thanks for the list. I plan to low carb until about 2 weeks before my surgery, then will incorporate some of your list. I dunno what will be involved in my pre op. its on valentines day.. :tt1:

stats for Monday: b - Atkins shake l - salad with 2 oz ham and .15 cup sharp cheddar cheese / 2T spicy ranch s - 4 spicy meatballs d - .9 beer & brat, 1t mustard, 1T green Beans cals 876 fat 64.4g 67% carb 13.3g 6% Protein 56.7g 26% protein was a tad low, but im not going to force something down me.

here you go .... virtual kick

15 mins on tmill 15 mins on elliptical 15 mins on bike 10 mins stretching tired.... very very tired

april, what are you consuming? are you getting enough Protein and fat in? (yes, i said fat - fat satisfies your hunger.... if you dont watch fat, my advice - watch carbs) you can do this!

welcome! the more the merrier!

i was just wondering about you a few days ago. welcome back! great job at almost 50 pounds!!

this is from yesterday: You consumed 3615mg of sodium. Ideally, this number should be below 2400mg.

georgia, if you ate more sodium than normal, you could just be retaining water. dont let it discourage you. i know mine was up because of my salmon risotto meal last night. but it was worth it.

Tami, so jealous! my PS wont go near my port ..

instead of toast or crackers, i usually crisp up some parm cheese. throw about 2 teaspoons on a cookie sheet (fill the sheet with little piles) in a 400* oven for about 8-10 minutes. really good!

cause i want to lose as much weight as i can. off plan is not worth it.

i would ask why the hell not? anything ... in moderation. is in "my diet".

i begrudgingly called and scheduled my unfill. i scheduled it 2 days before my TT. i wanted to wait til the day before, but didnt want that barium in my system during my TT. i dont want to do it... i really really REALLY dont. but i need to follow my LB surgeon's wishes (did i mention begrudgingly)?? waiting on a call back as to when i can schedule the re-fill.

what are you eating? are you exercising? if you arent already, log your food, see exactly how many calories you are taking in. make sure you are getting at least 30 minutes of cardio 3-4 times a week. you can do this!
