40 minutes / 2.1 miles on the treadmill this evening.

And my lunch for tomorrow is prepared and in the fridge ready to grab on my way out the door. No excuses for anything from now on!

Good for you Cristy-- I find with this WOE , you really need to be prepared it is hard to grab stuff on the fly-- most things require prep and cooking time-- It is so much easier to stick to plan when you are prepared--

Good for you....

Saty - I've still only opened the package. DBF and I went out to dinner first then we watched a movie.

I think I need to make a commitment to put in the DVD and actually try this now

Okay....at 10 PM I got up and did my workout. Upper body tonight. We had a late lunch today of buffalo chicken wings and salad....and I never truly got hungry for dinner. Had some nuts though a couple hours ago. LOTS of water today.

Good Thurs. morning here. Everybody is pretty fired up around here, working hard towards that Oct 31 goal. It's great to have a short term goal, it makes us work out plans, drink our water, and exercise our butts off. That provides depth and interest to this way of life! I am very excited about that. I am up 2lbs this morning, but hey no problem, it's that TOM and it will eventually go away. Off to a 7am meeting, then back for the big bike ride. I am up early today to get my high schooler thru her first crunch time with tests on Friday..."this is how we cram for a test"

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Well-- a good morning here. I am with Joy, got my upper body done late last night-- but, none the less I got it done. I took my walk earlier on in the evening-- a short one, my son tagged along. But, I moved none the less..

Also, another pleasant surprise, I have lost another pound. I only weighed today cause I have gotten a little off plan. Had and Iced Latte and some low carb pasta and was so afraid I would gain. I only weighed myself in hopes of scaring myself to eat better by the gain, but there was none.. So I am goingto take this opportunity to get right back on track to continue to lose.

I am still suffering Swelly Belly from my surgery.. It is getting me rather depressed, make me feel FAT, pants not losing up around the waist, where they normally wre falling off. Oh well, I cant control it- so trying not to fret


I am doing my ab lounge again, and up to 100 a day, I was at 200 a day pre surgery, but I don't want to push it. SO, hopefully when all this swelling goes down, I will have muscles under there!!

Ok -- sorry to dump all this on you all this am... Just my morning thoughts..

Hope you all have a GOOD DAY!!!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Good Morning Bjs! Congrats on getting your exercises in! Be careful with those higher rung 'legal' foods....they are very deceiving.

Well, I was soooo happy that the scale was finally going down...but this morning...Ohhhh Noooooooooooooooooo right back up to 203. ) $)*(&!!

I was good all day yesterday. I drank water like a fish. The only thing it can be is that I did weighted exercises so late in the evening.

Hopefully in a couple days I'll be back down. Grrrrrrrr.

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

bjs....yippee, another pound gone.

My weigh in is tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed everyone! Even .5 pounds gone will be a delight. I'm nervous!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Good morning All! I'm down another 1 lb!!! I'm very happy and I "feel" thin. I think that it has helped that I haven't worked since Monday so I have all day to exercise and have time to plan out and eat the right foods. Also, I've been feeling good about the school work I have gotten done so I'm not stressing out!

I have noticed that I have been bruising alot recently. Does anyone else have this issue? My legs look like they've been through a war zone! I take a potassium supplement and have wondered if that has something to do with it??

Silly - I can't wait to see how the weigh in turns out tomorrow!!

Joy - I'm sure that scale will behave and go back down soon. Good job working out last night!! That will certainly help.

BJS - Sorry to hear that your stomach is giving you issues. I started dedicating myself to 50 pushups a day. You make me look pathetic seeing how you had surgery and you're doing 100!! Congrats on losing that 1lb!! I'll mark you down for another treat! Is that a new pic?? You are looking good!

Jess - You are so cute! I love short term goals too! Also having everyone else having the same short term really helps out too! Have a good day and I hope TOM doesn't give you too much trouble...

Cher! - I better hear you sweating to SI6 today!! I can't wait to hear what you think of it. Makes me want to start doing mine again!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Saty! Funny you mentioned potassium.....I take 198 mg daily for redness in my face. The past 2 nights I had a headache and looked up potassium and headaches. That's not the cause, but I don't recall reading anything about bruising easy. Weird, huh? Potassium on our brains!
