today -

1hr walk - such a pretty morning.....

georgia, thank you (food thread) for the nice comment.

bandanniversary for hubby and i today. wasn't going to do anything - but thought that sorta defeats the purpose of why i got the band....so took an early walk; hubby sleeping in of course. LOL

in a yr:

lulu - 77lbs lost; 98% excess weight loss

lulu's DH - 68lbs lost; 103% excess weight loss

not bad, the route i walked today was the first real walk i had after being banded. i remember HUFFING it - lots of hills & thought wow i run this now..:crying:

what a great way to Celebrate the past year , Luluc. Sounds like that walk really shows how far you have come in 1 short year. It's not just about scales, but health, and feeling alive. You have done it all!! Kudos to you!!!!

I'm joining the 'need a kick in the butt' club today - did absolutely NOTHING over the weekend, and ate WAY too much...

Getting back on the stick today - walked with DD and DDog today, will walk again at lunchtime (at least I'm consistent with that) and will be in the gym tonight. Just waiting on my pre-surgery appt and to get a date to be banded. Seems like my appetite has gone crazy in the past couple of days and my willpower is waning.

I am journaling my food now - it makes me think twice about shoving something in my mouth if I know I have to write it down. Not feeling strong today - hopefully getting in the gym tonight will help that slacker feeling...

Nice to read everyone else's progress - y'all are doing great!

I didn't run yesterday either. I was SOO discusted after watching the Cowboys. That game was aweful.... Anyway, DS is sick and we had to go to the ER last night. He has a systemic staph infection and cellulitis of his bottom. Poor little guy. He is pretty miserable. Planning to run 3 miles today. It may have to be on the treadmill.

today -

3.75mile run - "suppose" to play twilight golf tonite; we'll see if hubby's up for it.

hope the little guy is feeling better today renewed. the game was very sad to watch.

Congratulations on 1 year Luluc! I didn't get online this weekend but wanted to send my thoughts to you a day late :-)...ya'll are both extraordinary and inspirations.

Friday night's Body Sculpting had me sore all weekend. My pectoral muscles were killing me for two days! I can definately tell I never use those. Tricepts too - i guess I know where I am the weakest. I overslept this morning and didn't have time to get my workout clothes. I am going home and back to the gym to exercise. I think I'm going to head to the new Y in Lee County. It is closer to my house - the Y I normally go to (Dougherty Co.) is closer to my work. They just opened in Late August and I haven't tried it out yet. I'm sure I'll miss Zumba class, but I plan on running and then hitting the weights.

Ah, good, another true fan on here! luluc and I welcome you into our little club. As for yesterdays game, I only got to see the last drive in regulation for the Cards and then our last drive in reg. to tie it up. Missed OT and glad I did.:laugh: Could not believe it when I saw the replay of the blocked punt and the guy didn't even get touched:cursing:. Now, Romo out for about a month, McBriar on I/R I believe, Felix out for 2 wks, Hurd needing surgery and Ratliff hurt. Not looking good for the moment.

Ok, rant over. Here was my workout today:

Bench: 225 x 8

Asstd chin ups: set @ 90 x 8

Incl. Bench: 135 x 8

BB curls: 75 x 8

Cbl Tri pushdowns: 85 x 8

Mach ab crunches: 85 x 8

db military press: 50 x 8

back ext on roman chr: 75 x 8

BB shrugs: 225 x 8

3 circuits-kicked my ASS!

Followed up with 15 minute run on treadmill and 50 minutes on elliptical. Then, off to DD's school to surprise her and had lunch with her. :smile2:

I haven't felt very good this weekend, so my exercise has been a lot less than normal. Yesterday I ran about a mile...nothing today. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.

[tapshoes 2]

Yesterday was 40 min of the treadmill - varying inclines and speeds.

Today - 30 minutes swimming - front crawl non stop.

Good morning Warriors...

Happy to report I had a really good workout last night. Mostly upper body - increased poundages and sets on my bench press, seated row, bicep curls, hamstring curls, and pulldowns. Of course that means I'm sore this morning, but oh well! :thumbup:

Walked this morning with DD, DH and DDog - somehow, I was the fastest of all of us this morning. Woke up fired up and full of energy - gotta review my food log so I can remember what I ate and do it again - I feel great! :biggrin:

Back to the gym tonight to blast lower body and other related parts...will check in tomorrow with the muscle-soreness-inducing results.

Everyone have an awesome day, and Luluc - happy belated Bandiversary! :wink2:

[georgia girl 35]

Still feeling puny, but I managed to get in a 1 mile run. Not great, but it's all I could do.

[tapshoes 2]

last night did a very brisk 35 minute walk - carrying my knapsack and lunchbag

This morning - 25 minutes cycling and 20 minutes on weight training (just received the training this morning, so now I have a clue what to do, and how to do it)

[Ceradad 10]

Yesterday was leg circuit training followed by 65 minutes on elliptical. Today, no lifting. 50 minutes on elliptical this morning.
