bigbaby, i'm pulling for ya next wk to see that 1 in the front of your scale!!!

whosya, i like the idea of goals, i'm just not a good goal setter other than for vanity purposes (ie - wedding 4.19 / another wedding in june / family reunion in july)...my goals are "i want my ass skinny by XXX date....LOL:tongue:

i did sign up for the 3day walk in Nov for the Susan G Komen walk for the cure, i should stretch myself and sign up for some "athletic" run / race / hike etc. dh and i have mountain bikes that we use to ride around grapevine lake (NTX) when were fit, but they are dusty hanging from the garage...think it's time to bring those out, i really enjoyed that workout.

got 500 new songs to jam to this am at the gym.....have a good wkend all~~

Hi all, I am back from my cruise, and I am such a slacker. I did not exercise, just could not hack it with the motion of the ship. I did start back today, right where I left off. Felt good to start back.

Take care all.

Para--I'm going on a cruise in Nov.---how did you do with the food? Did you have any challenges?

Week 8 day 1 - I did it :crying: OUTSIDE!!! I really thought I wouldn't be able to do the length of time outside because it's so much harder. And, it was doggone windy this morning. The time actually went by faster. And, I know my speed was at limpin' grandma pace but I got it done! :thumbup:

[bigbaby 4]

Wombat---3 Cheers to you!!!!!!

Speed doesn't matter!!!! (that's what I tell myself!!!!) My heartrate is up for a significant amount of time and that's what counts--the inches are moving and I'll find out tomorrow if the scale has moved!!!! I've started weighing on the 1st of the month.

Big Baby im waiting for your weigh in tomorrow. April 1st!

Wombat! Way to go outside! I was so scared to switch to outside but i think its actually easier!

I ran for 45mins today on a track in Ballys.

Thats over 5k for me. Practicing pacing myself for my 5k run in 2 weeks.

[wombat712 2]

way to go whosya!!! You are doing so great!!! I'm not planning my 5k until the fall. It just gets too stinking hot way too fast down here or I could be a tad chicken .... I'm going with the weather :smile:

BigBaby - how can you go an entire month without weighing!?!?!?!? I WOULD GO INSANE!!! I weigh every day - now I've gotten to where I weigh at night too (I clearly have issues:rolleyes2:)

I've got my fingers crossed for your weigh in!!!! It's gonna start with a 1!!!!!

Big Baby,

Congrats on your entry into ONEDERLAND...YEE HA!

Now, I am sorry I didn't answer your prior post, I am not on as much as I want to be rigght now with teaching, going to school and also lots of stuff going on with my children and their school work!

To answer you, I did not have any problem eating on the cruise. I ate too much though! I gained a couple of pounds and expected it. I just followed the rules, such as no drinking and trying to get Protein in first, etc. But I did eat more than I had eaten in forever, and more often!

I also want to know that the cruise fell in my PMS time, you know, the time where one could eat the paint off the walls! I was a hungry girl and in the correct place for it!

Most nights I was unable to complete the entire meal, but as you know with cruises, you have at least 4 courses!

I do not drink alcohol - so that wasnt an issure with me, however, the tea was not brewed, and being a southern girl...that wasnt the greatest! Drank lots of Water and some of that icky tea...oh, and coffee in the mornings.

Looks like I am going on another cruise in January - this one is 7 days. (I just came back from a 5 day)

Baby, you will do great and have a blast, is this your first cruise?

Speaking of running a 5k,

I am considering doing inthe end of June, do you think that is too soon? I am currently in week 5 of the program. Actually, I sometimes run a little longer than what is called for. Not pushing too hard, just doing what I am able to do...

What do y'all think? too soon? doable? any thoughts would be great.
