Oh Kristina, I hope it passes quickly. I hate being sick!

How is everybody else doing? My hubby is traveling for work and went to an El Torito for dinner last night. He thought he'dv have something small ... chicken nachos. They had the calories on the menu...1400 cal.! He chose two chicken soft tacos for 160 calories a piece. What a difference.

I didn't get my walking in today yet but I have dropped 2 lbs since I started again. I am using WW online so I can keep track of my eating. Have been drinking more water lately too.

Good for you Kristina! Getting out to the gym is a great way to beat the winter blahs and blues.

Kristina,
Congratulations! You are sticking to it so great!! You will be seeing results without a doubt. In the meantime, just ride that "I did it" high as long as you can! Good going!

Ooof - after 2 weeks straight of every day walks I missed three days in a row. Makes me realize how vital being outdoors and getting exercise is to my mental health - hoping that the temperature rises enough to eliminate the skating rink effect that the melting snow had on the streets last night. I got home just after sunset, and while there was still light, it was too slippery to walk. Bummer!!

I'm with you. I hate walking all hunched up trying to keep my balance!! I was off to a pretty good go of it, too. But, I have missed two days of exercise. There's always tomorrow!
Kristina, you seem to be staying the course really well. Hope the sinuses are easing up for you.

| Amy Grace, when it's too icy to walk outside, I use the Leslie Sansone DVDs. They are definitely not as good as walking outside, but at least I do something. She does the same stuff in all her DVDs, so I'm to the point now where sometimes I just do the same movements while I'm watching TV. I also have a step and incorporate that if I'm feeling energetic. Otherwise, it seems like it can be weeks of those slippery sidewalks and roads. I love the weekends when I can actually walk when it is light outside. |

Well, we just keep see-sawing back and forth. First I miss my exercise, then your husband gets sick... All in all, Kristina, we are doing just fine!!
I hope our other farmgirls are keeping up pretty well, too. Everyone knew this would be an everyday effort, but sheesh when we get into it, it can be a drag, huh!
Love ya guys, keep your chins up

I have been slowly improving my elliptical trainer time, up to 22 minutes with some resistance. Last night played in a pool with the kids but did get lots of treading water time in while spotting jumping in for them. I am down 4 pounds which is just under one quarter of my goal. I think the 25% there sounds nice and encouraging to me. Definately watching my diet too although there are some bad days for that too.

Kristina,
Hope everything clears up quickly now with the antibiotics. You really are doing great wwith all the setbacks you have had!
Emily! 25% is awesome. I agree it sounds so much better. You have a fairly small amount to lose (good for you). Do you feel better and do you notice your clothes fitting differently? Carry on farmgirl!
Yesterday was dh birthday ... do I need to let you know there is chocolate cake in the frig? Haven't had any!!

Hi Brenda and Paula! Jump right in. I haven't been doing much on the treadmill lately but I walk a lot at work and I am watching what I am eating. Still using WW online. I am down 3.8 lbs so far. Slow going but that is the best way I think. Well, I hope anyway. Tomorrow is weigh in day so we shall see how it is going for sure!

exercise, eating right and weight loss
Hubby brought home a "bug" and I caught it (again). I plan to rest, rest, rest, and get rid of it.
