Re: Weight Loss Group

worked out Okay.. 32 minutes and 2 miles on the eliptical and FIVE just FIVE minutes on the stairmaster, plus weights for around 20 minutes. Just an hour. I have step tomorrow and didn't want to exhaust myself and the 5 minutes on the stairmaster was evil! I wanted to do ten but I only made it to 5, my heart rate was like 180.. yeesh!

Re: Weight Loss Group

Congrats nunu! Must be an awesome feeling.

Willa, greeklies are any kind of bread topped with cheese, chopped onion, tomato, mushrooms, olives... pretty much whatever you want, broiled until the cheese is bubbly, and then drizzled with oil and greek spice, and broiled a little bit longer. My mum made up the name, it's just one of those things we had when I was growing up.

Re: Weight Loss Group

English muffins for breakfast today, I had a spinach salad with a hard boiled egg for my final meal last night. I think I'll have some chicken today. And no mints.

I've been having lots of camomille tea with honey and lemon to help my throat get better. It's also delicious. I want to start pilates again, but I still can't powerwalk without breathing heavily, so maybe another day off. We'll see how I feel later.

Keep up the good work ladies.

Re: Weight Loss Group

Hey girls today is a new day, breakfast 2 nf yoghurst, lunch leftovers, 1 cup chicken and rice, one cup ground beef+vegies. LOL Another chicken stew type dish will be for supper. I hopefully have step aerobics tonight, if not I will head to the gym instead. I'm hoping for step though it was cancelled on monday and its going to be hard enough to get back into after missing one class!

Re: Weight Loss Group

So I thought I'd do an inspiration post on why I want to be in shape.

Reasons: Less headaches (Argh!), my back and neck aren't as stiff and sore, all round feeling of wellbeing, self confidence, self esteem, looks, better health (especially when I'm older)... Anyone else?

To be abble to wear the clothes that I want and not those that fit on my bizar shape. To feel better when I wake up in the morning, to sleep better!, to feel more confident with myself so that I can actually do the things I want, better job and such...

I could write for hours

Re: Weight Loss Group

Congrats nunu!!!

I can't wait to be done. Monday night I stayed up finishing an essay and took a two hour nap. So then I had a three hour lab and four back to back lectures. Then I had to go to work (I'm writing tutor at the Student Advising and Learning Center) and I didn't get home until 11pm. I'm so burned out.

I didn't have time to pack a lunch so I bought a sandwich at school and a grapefruit juice and it cost me ten bucks! I really need to use my weekends to prep stuff to bring with me on school days.

Tish, all your hauling is making me drooool!
Oh, and Skylar....YOU CAN DO IT!!! *motivates*

Re: Weight Loss Group

Oye girls, feeling super FAT lol.

But I don't know why one of those things that you just FEEL.

I did 20 minutes on the bike
30 minutes on the eliptical
20 minutes on the treadmill
and maybe 15-20 minutes free weights

since there was no step class today.


Hilight of day a friend stopped by work (she had to ask a work related question) and we haven't seen each other in ages and she complimented my makeup. She's SUCH a sweethear, I love when people do that... most of the time its when I am wearing Auqadisiac to line my lower lash line i guess that's a really great look for me! (Thanks to Ashley the MA who taught me to do that!!)

Re: Weight Loss Group

Sitting here watching the last 10 lbs bootcamp lol, I always feel like such a cardio deficient lazybone after watching shoes like this. lol

Shopping for a target outfit, but I don't get it. I fit mostly 3x clothes from additionelle but they list a 3x

Bust 50-52 inches (I'm 55")
Waist 42-44 inches (I'm 51.5")
Hips 52 to 54... (only one that i'm matchy on... lol hips are around 54 or 55.

I want to order a 2x but that might be too much of a lofty goal? I'm mean I haven't had a 38 waist since Jr High... but the tops really cute and so I figure it would be something good to hang on my door and look at. Its suppppper cute except it shows off too much arm. But I'm learning to let go of that somewhat. I still dislike my arms but I'm learning to live with it.

Also a pair of dark jeans in 22 , (thinking of getting both a 20 and a 22, i'm TOTALLY a jeans girl so it'll be good to have something ) the jean is a TALL and pretty classic cut dark wash, not tapered, not wide leg, totally my eternal style (i've detested tapered jeans, i was so releaved when boot cuts became in style... now I just don't care what's in style, I'm a boot cut girl, and if that makes me look outdated I just .. really don't give a darn lol).

Decisions decisions...

For me, I want to feel healthy, and look healthy. There's so much clothing that would love to wear, but because of my size (med-large), I can't wear it. With losing weight as well, it will help my back problems (I slipped my disc twice in the last 3 months, and had to go to the hospital, and have been in physio). Also, I just want to prove myself that I can be the weight that I have always wanted to be, and it will be an amazing boost of self esteem.

For me, my sister Jen is my inspiration. She used to always be 175-200lbs, and then in the last 4 years, shes been working out, eating right, and shes been an extremely healthy 120lbs (she did go down to 105, but then she joined rollerderby like me and got toned and some really nice muscle), and she looks AMAZING! She always gets complimented on her looks, and I know I would love to hear that about myself.

Re: Weight Loss Group

Ok, today was a weird food day for me, filled with weird cravings and oral fixation. It sounds a lot more crude than it was, I had to have something in my mouth all day. And I can't chew gum because it throws my jaw out of place and I get headaches (speaking of which I need to go to the chiropractor and get that fixed again), so basically I was snacking constantly.

I had: tea, chai latte, english muffin, oven baked chicken, french onion soup, lots of mints (argh!), and some veggie snacks... Along with lots of other random things, like olives, and crackers, and whatever I could get my hands on. I should have had a salad. I need to have more salads. And less cheese.

Tomorrow: Salad, no meat, probably peas and corn at some point, something to use up the last of my bread before it goes stale, and pilates!

Re: Weight Loss Group

Tish, I'm jealous!!!!
That's so many beautiful things for 10$!!!!!!!!!
Need to go to Texas soon!

As for me, last night I went to the VIP event at MUFE.
Got many cute little gifts, also, got offered by the manager to help her. She want's to start teaching me everything tomorrow.
I was totally freaking out, that's my dream coming true!

For diner I had a crab salad sandwich, with couscous salad and brocoli salad.

Today I don't have my lunch, so I'll go to the cafeteria but I'll take an egg salad sandwich.

Re: Weight Loss Group

Ok, I'm checking in. First off I just realised that I haven't been reporting my daily walking, so since Saturday was the last one I reported:

Sunday: 3.5 km. Not my goal, but I was pretty sick.
Monday: 2.8 km. See above.
Tuesday: 5.4 km. I was still sick, but I made myself go for a long walk.
Wednesday: 4.4 km.

So, I need to ramp up the daily steps. Today I'm at 2 km, and I wasn't intending on going out (a lot of homework), but I think I'll go for a walk later and try to get above 5 km.

Anyway, food today I had trail mix, then cream of veg soup, and a baked potato. Still need to have a salad, that's going to be my next meal. No mints thus far, yay! This morning I had two cups of coffee, and I've also had a cup of chai tea (not the latte form).

Exercise today, I did 40 minutes of pilates. Yay! I feel so freaking good now. I did 10 minutes abs, 10 buns/thighs, 10 shoulders and arms with 3 pound weights (I got them on Saturday before I got sick), and 10 minutes flexibility. It went really great, I know I've taken almost a week off what with having guests and being sick, but I think some muscle built up in that week. I'm going to see how I feel tomorrow, but I might do a smaller workout then too.

Sounds cool Willa! P.S. I'm jealous of your crab sandwich, I want one now.

Skylar, I'm sending you motivation!

Re: Weight Loss Group

Good job with the cardio snowflake, I can't do that, I get so bored.

Tish, do you want us to harass you about working out, or leave it be?

Final walking distance, 3.8 km. I wanted to go for a walk, but the sun sets at about 4:30 now and I don't feel comfortable walking around by myself in the dark here so I didn't hit 5 km. I had a spinach salad with tomatoes, a bit of onion, a hard boiled egg, and some home made honey mustard red wine vinegar dressing. Also, I know I said today was a no meat day, but I had chicken fried rice, but with fish instead of chicken. So fish, wild rice, corn, peas, green pepper, onion, garlic, etc. Really good, and I made enough for left overs. I'm also having popcorn right now as a snack.
