OK. Stef and Sweety are kickin my ARSE!!

I was sitting around the house tonight with nothing to do... and it's Saturday, so I felt lonely and pathetic! All of a sudden I got this burst of energy from no where and felt like going jogging! Haha. Now, if you know me, you will see how funny this is. I'm 331.8 lbs (per my scale this morning) and I have large breasts... I can't even imagine myself jogging!

ANYWAY, so afetr I laughed at this thought for a few minutes I got off my duff and headed to the gym - for the first time in just over 2 weeks!! I easily did 80 minutues elliptical and then 30 minutes of weight machines focusing on arms, legs, and abs. I feel so goo about this! I"ve never done this much on the elliptical before, and for me to be able to do that after avoiding the gym for 2 weeks, I'm proud!!

So far my monthly total is 110 minutes. Yay me! Only 690 to go! Hahaaa!

HOLY CATS!

80 Minutes on the elliptical! That is freaking AMAZING! I can't touch that, so my hats' off to you! You SHOULD be proud!

And that is too funny about the jogging thing, too. I can't imagine ever even CONCEIVING of the idea for me to go jogging...no way.

I don't know what got into you tonight, but it's way cool!

THAT IS AWESOME. I HAVE TRIED THE ELLIPTICAL AT THE GYM AND CAN BARELY GET THROUGH 10 MIN. JUST NOT MY THING I GUESS. I'M WITH STEF ON THE JOGGING THING. CAN'T IMAGINE DOING IT. ANYWAY, KEEP IT UP. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT I FEEL GREAT WHEN I WALK OUT OF THAT GYM. I WISH I HAD STARTED GOING EARLIER, BUT OH WELL. I AM GOING NOW AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS. I LOVE IT. THE WEIGHT IS FINALLY COMING OFF.

thought I'd Give My Muscles The Day Off From Weight Training, But Still Did 70 Minutes On The Treadmill. Gotta Keep Doing The Cardio.

[TexasFire 84]

Way to go, guys! You're doing great!

After talking with one of the trainers at my gym, they looked at my diet journal and my excericise journal. My weight loss is pretty stagnant, so I'm stepping back for a week...excercising less and eating whatever I want. Now I know that I really CAN'T eat that much, because I now have given myself "permission", but my stomach can't accomodate me. Oh well. I am having a lot of different things that I love that I wouldn't allow myself before...like Cereal and milk, ice cream, more fruit, chicken cordon bleu...yum. I expect to gain a pound or two, but haven't so far. Weird. Anyhow, hopefully my body will completely reset within a week or so and I can get back to work! I'm still going to be doing my weight training, but will do zero cardio this week. I don't know if I'll make my goal because of this, but we will see.

Sounds like a good plan Stef! I hope it works for you!

I went to the Renaissance Festival today with a friend and we walked around for 5 1/2 hours. Now, I want to count some of this as exercise... but know I can't count it all, cause we did stop in some shops and sat down to eat once. But I will count 2 hours of it! Lol. I think thats fair... what do you think? I swear I'm worn out!! So add 120 minutes to my total for the month!

NEW TOTAL 230 minutes.

Shoot! I'd be counting the whole thing! Maneuvering around people and shops and almost constant walking? Oh yeah...I'd so be counting it all. (I counted the whole thing when hubby and I went to the Grapefest a couple weeks ago!)

Count it, girl!

[Suzzzie. 3]

Lol. Stef! But it wasn't like at an 'exercise' pace... ya know.

Oh, and I should confess here too... Lol... my friend bought an 'apple dumpling' which is a huge peeled and cored apple which is then covered with this breading stuff and deep fried. Then its covered in a thick rich sugary cinnamon sauce and toped with a huge scoop of ice cream! I ate about 1/4 of it! Haha. Ooopsie!
