Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Here are my pics! I got my poor son to take them. They don't look tight, but they realllly cut in! They are Gap 14's and I wear between a 16 and 18 at Lane Bryant right now. They used to be my favorite jeans. I can't wait to wear them again, and get more!

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Good morning all. How did everyone do on their first challenge day? I stil am not getting exercise in but i have a lot of free time this weekend so i am hop9ing to use it for some shopping(groceries) and some exercise. Spring is such a grea time of year. Anyone else notice how the extra daylight and warmth really seems to ramp up your energy levels?

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

I realized looking at how those pants weren't going to close that I need to get more lower abdominal exercises in so that is one of my main focuses during this challenge and did some extra excersises last night to help me....Already geared to sign up for the rest of my exercise challenges to help me make goal on this one... Planning to increase my goal on everything

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter Weekend!

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

When I am on my last set of crunches, instead of numbers coming out coming out of my mouth, sometimes it's bad words.

lol I curse, cry, pray, blame god, yell at my fat that it wont defeat me, and even blame my parents sometimes (its their genes i'm battling also, not just my own bad eating habits).

Oh excercise, why dost thou taunt me?

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

In these parts we're still waiting on the warmth Susan! However, the urge to garden has returned already! now that's my kind of exercise!! I can't wait to dig in the ground

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

It's supposed to be cold this weekend so i am a lil sad about it but i am thinking of getting started on a bit of yardwork anyway. Need to try to seed my yard soon. The joys of buying a foreclosure home. If anyone has any tips as i simply cannot afford sod.

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Tip: Always plant something that you really don't want to grow----it's bound to take off like crazy

Have you considered aruja instead of grass? Pretty purple flowers Spring and Summer, spreads on its own and stays about 6-7 inches tall. It loves bare spots

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

I had a good day, I didn't hurt to much after swimming that mile yesterday (thought I was dying yesterday, though). I think I will swim a mile 3 times a week at least. Then walk on days I don't swim.

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

I didn't get in any exercise yesterday because I spent the first several hours at my doctor's office and then went to the greenhouse and Amish bulk food store, which are right there near the doc. I have been going to this doc since 1978, and I love him and his wife/nurse to death, but sometimes I wish he was one of those docs that push you out after 15 minutes. I have to go every 90 days and I'm always there, in his examining room, at least an hour and a half. He leaves no stone unturned and tries to talk me into soooo many tests. I finally cave in and agree to some just so he will let me leave. I tried to get out of a digital mammogram several times, because it's been less than a year since I had one done, but I now have one scheduled for April the 11th. Sigh...

After that ordeal, I had to go home and rest, because I had to sing at the Maundy Thursday service at church last night. I was worn out.

Today has been better--for once, it was warm and the wind was not blowing at gale force. I walked outside for 40 minutes, as well as doing a lot of gardening/yard work. Inside, I did 15 minutes floor exercise and lifted weights for 30 minutes. I am really weak from the inactivity and I am realizing that it is going to take a while to build my strength back up.

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Well here at last are my pictures...including some good old sunshine!! I guess in my Spring delusion I thought these size 18 pants were closer to fitting than they actually are. Lots of work to do!!! The belly speaks for itself!!!

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Don't get Photobucket sometimes. I resized all 3 pictures to the size of picture #1. Why are the other 2 so big??? I hit the refresh button as Sunny suggested to me previously. Are you all seeing my pictures in huge form??? Wooo Lordy it is frightening to see yourself all over your computer screen!
