Twylite's Trying for weight loss group CLOSED (Page 5)

Good morning.  thought I'd check in before I take off for the day.  Today would be my first son's 25th birthday.  Sometimes the day passes by and I don't even realize it but today I saw the date and said oh. sigh.  So my goal today is to not let that distract me from things I need to get done, like the gym.

My plan is to run/walk 3miles and do weights.  Tomorrow is weight day.

DanieL: I like your idea of getting the current measurements so you know how far you have come  later.

And soup sounds delicious.  I would imagine the homemade ones are better for you?  Are any of those so called 'healthy' ones really healthy?  I'd like to see some of your recipes.

Way to go Daniel!! If I am down 1 pound this week I will be happy as I ate out the last two days, although I did use the nutrition folder once to make my selection.  I don't enjoy the late evening work outs as all the water intake disrupts my sleep.   So looking forward to a late morning workout tomorrow.   Have a great day guys and good luck with the weigh ins.

thanks for the hug Amy.

Oh I gotta ask this. So I got a juicer and yesterday put some carrots, apple, pear and avocado in. when I logged it into my program it said 500+ calories!! SeriouslY?????  The carrots were over 200 by themselves. Thought carrots were low in calories.

Hey gang. Just getting back to ya'll after a busy day. Overslept, so didn't check in this AM. Busy all day. Just finished dinner, where DD had made caramel covered pretzels. Ate a piece off the end of one to discover they were more crunchy than I thought they would be. Finally spit a piece of metal crown out. EEEK! Ok, need to call dentist tomorrow.

Let me check some posts and I'll get back to ya.

Carol: What did you find out about the pool at the rec center. Sounds like a good option. I'm really proud of your walking. It's hard to get started, but you're doing a great job!

Maggie: Congrats on the weighin! Every pound matters. How much have you lost since we started this forum on 12/26? I like the idea of customizing your plan with your couch to sprint and tri training. I think cross training makes you stronger and gives joints a break.  So sorry about your son. Thanks for sharing. I have 3 friends who have lost children in the last couple of years. I think of them daily. I'll add you to my thoughts. By the way, when do you leave for Morocco?

Amy: How was the powder? We had a few flakes today in Louisiana and it was the talk of the town! I have an endless pool and love it. It's pretty unforgiving on form. Try it out and see how you like it.

Daniel: Congrats on the 2 pounds gone and thanks for the soup recipe. Will have to write it down and give it a try.

Kristen: Happy B day to your little gal. Hey, I like the shoes...very cool.

Marla: WTG with the 40-min workout. You have inspired me as well.

Ok, I've got 2 pounds down for Daniel. Did I miss losses for anyone else this week? I'm going to do 40 crunches for each pound lost by the group. I owe 80 to Daniel. Ya'll post your losses and I'll add in the crunches.

What's your weight loss challenge? Can you match mine of 40 crunches per pound lost by the group?

I took Sunday off...no workout, no posting on computer. Just rest, fun with kids, and watching reruns of "Twin Peaks". Back in the saddle today. I'll check ya'll's blogs tomorrow.

Hey gang. Late check in again. Work is over the top, but that is good. Vendor delivered an invoice to me today, overdue since 12/12, and for $3500 +. Arrrrgh! It's going to be OK I keep telling myself. Anyway, I had some amazing clients today, so that makes it worthwhile.

Fernando: 2 pounds down! Yippee! I'm going to do 20 squats for each of your pounds down, so that's 40 squats for me.

Daniel: I like the elliptical challenge.

Amy: I'll only do the crunches once. I owe 80 for Daniel's loss...did 40 this Am. Thought I might mix it up a little with core. I'm going to do 20 squats for each pound Fernando drops. I owe him 40. I don't know...kinda making it up as I go. Trash the M&M's. I dare you!

Jon: What a commitment to get up at 4 and get your workout. Rotten work schedule, though. Concentrate on rest. You're gonna be wiped.

Kristen: I'm waiting for your numbers. I'll have to come up with a different core exercise for you. I'll let you know when I see your numbers.

Ok, gotta run. Is DH's birthday. Baking a King Cake for him. Midnight is 12th night, or the start of Mardi Gras, typically launched with a King Cake. Weigh in tomorrow won't be pretty. I'm already up 2# this week. Ate right, charted my points, didn't go over, Exercised like crazy...gained. Ya'll hang in there with me. I'm determined to get this weight off.

til tomorrow...
