Nymph's July Exercise Challenge

stl_lulu · June 29, 2008

Ha Cindy, thats a good one!!! If you figure out that osmosis thing you could probably make some serious money...lol. Today was the first day I think my band worked. I have been sooo excited. My husband and I went to lunch and I had a small (appetizer) portion of eggplant parm w/o Pasta, I did not drink with it, and it was the FIRST time since surgery that I have felt full off of a really small amount of food. AND I stayed full for several hours... like almost 5.

Anyway, Im pretty jazzed, I have to travel on June 30th and July 1st but Ill begin my portion of the challenge when I get to my destination. Good luck all!!~lulu

I finally have decent restriction too which is why I have been steadily losing one pound a week. So darn slow! I wish I could find the motivation to excercise but I had neck surgery a year ago and a recent x-ray showed that the discs are not completely fused. I often have neck and upper back pain and even walking a lot hurts. I think I should look into a Water aerobics class if it's not too straining.

Aqua aerobics should work for you Cindy because there's not as much stress on the body but you definitely see the effects of it. Great for toning the stomach etc. I wish I could do it more often but as mentioned above not feasible. Give it a try, you might get addicted like Cindy (the other one). :thumbup:)

I am going to be the Cheerleader this month and cheer you all to victory! Cindy

If memory serves, that little swim dress WAS kind of like a cheerleaders outfit. Now you just need some pompoms. Gooooooooo Nymphs.

Ok...everyone tomorrow is July 1st...we are going to do this. We will stay committed for the entire month and reach our goals. Trust me at the end of the month make sure you measure...I am sure you will be down inches.

Foofy...the swimdress actually fits great now....I am going down sizes so quick that it won't for long. The Water aerobics really gets the sizes down. I am a perfect size 20 and xlarge on shirts...who would have thunk it.

OK, you guys are just wearing me out with all that excercise talk. I'm exhausted just reading your posts! Think I can burn off a few calories by osmosis?
Now where did I hide the elliptical?

Cindy the elliptical is under the clothes. :frown: At least that is where my treadmill was when I cleaned the room. LOL

Oh, yeah! There it is!! :frown:

Damn, does this mean I have to actually use the thing? :lol:

I download audio books or podcasts on my Ipod to work out with. I am a lot more distraacted by that than by television. It makes it so I can go 45 minutes on the eliptical trainer without noticing how pooped I am.

Hi everyone. I just got back from my 2 week vacation. And I am glad to see this challenge here ready and waiting for me to join into.

I did do 2 Water Aerobics claases in Cancun at the pool, it was alot of fun, I even got hubby to join in with me, he wouldn't admit it, but he had fun too. We did ALOT of walking and swimming. Usually when we go its only for a week and I always gain weight, about 5-8 pounds, This time I didn't gain an ounce!!!! Wohoooo I focused more on all the activities I could do and not on the all inclusive food and drinks there was to be had, sure I drank my margaritas a few days, But I made sure to exercise my butt off to make up for them.

Have a great day evberyone, I am off to pull weeds in the back yard as they seemed to have grown at least 2 feet tall all over the yard while I was gone....
