DOWN for the Holidays! (Page 28)

QueenZipp - 2012-11-12 1:55 PM Abbie, You know we love you and all that.....but really 25 front lunges when I can barely go down a flight of stairs is going to be more than a bit ugly today.  I may try them.....but if you hear a whole lot of cursing from the east coast know that Kristin and I have legs that think you are unkind to us

How about some push-ups instead? Do them against the wall if you are afraid you may not be able to get up off the floor  Love ya too!

**** Revised, saw you did the challenge, woohoo!

Haha, will do!  Just gotta give myself a day or 2 to flush out all this garbage from my system!

x2  -  I LOVE lunges - if I say the right words enough times it may eventually become true (oh and actually do them too).  I did get them done tonight too.

For 18 years and 10.5 months, I've been saying the same thing about my Navy career.  Still hasn't worked.
Only 413 days until I'll be retired... THEN I'm sure I'll like my Navy career!!

I am not a great planner. I take a few of my larabars with me in my carry on and hope for good food selections. Being a vegetarian (I do eat eggs and cheese), I try to make requests of the conference folks, but I ddon't hold them to making me something special, I just load up on the veggies I can eat. 

Did someone say veggies? I LIKED that challenge!

I weigh in at Weight Watchers on Tuesdays. Went in this morning and was down 3.4 lbs. But that just puts me back to where I started when I began weighing weekly again on 10/16.  Last week I was up as I figured I'd be - weighed in the morning after flying back in from a vacation to San Francisco. I'm looking to make this another good week for nutrition and workouts and hopefully I can get back to goal weight sooner rather than later.

I did a 10 mile race on Saturday and PR'd by almost 18 minutes. That's what happens when you don't race that distance for 3.5 years! Haha.

One heck of a PR!  Congratulations!

 If there is a buffet.. tiny bits. I pick at the plate.

Have a safe trip :=)

Grz on your PR and downer weight :=)

Sweet PR!!!!

90 minute computrainer ride this morning.

Started juicing again yesterday....I think it helps tame my sweet tooth!

Lara Bars and Kind Bars are tasty!  Buy some raisins and almonds, mix them into a single serving snack-size zip-lock baggie.  Buy some apples to take with you or if the hotel is near a market buy some when you arrive.  Protein powder if you drink it.  

I used to go to a bunch of conferences and networking events....there never seems to be an end to the amount of pastries and muffins at the breakfast....AVOID THIS TABLE!  Keep drinking water throughout the day.

Wow down, 7 pounds....AWESOME!!!  POst pics, visual motivation!

enders_shadow - 2012-11-13 12:32 PM Forgive me, Downers, for I have sinned... I ate a caramel apple blondie and drank a pumpkin chai tea. It was good. It was most definitely not on my diet. And it had nothing to do with my trip. (Sadly, I think it was a reward for making it through the last two weeks, which have been work hell. I know. Not a good reason.) Worst part is, my legs aren't even working well enough to run off some penance. Maybe if I give them some yoga/roll tonight again, they'll work tomorrow. (And then I hop on a plane Thursday morning and hope to heck I can live on Lara Bars and almonds.)

Well at least it was something yummy  Don't stress over it or throw the rest of the day away....get back on track, no biggie.

AbbieR - 2012-11-13 3:29 PM Great job!  You can see it in your face, regardless of the shave

Yep, your face.
