You too... I was running with zombies around the same time... NOTE TO SELF: Don't run with Zombies just before a 12 hour drive. I stopped and stretched frequently (looked weird at rest stops) but still, my legs are SO SORE this morning!

You are doing great!

you are aces!!!! you've lost 85 lbs!!!!congrats - keep up the good job!!!

awesome!

I thought I missed you on this morning's zombie run! My son started school last week and that's thrown off my schedule, too, because I normally get up a little after 5 on MWF and then jump in the shower at 6:00 to be ready to leave for work at 6:45. Well, now he needs the bathroom at 6, so I'd have to run around 4:30 and shower and be out of the bathroom by 6. I'm just not sure I can get up at 4:30 -- isn't that still technically nighttime??? lol

You can figure it out... you're committed to this, right?

Yeah he is now going in an hour earlier than normal and has to stay an hour later than normal. So if I go to the gym in the morning, I would have to get up at 4:30 (5am is tough enough). And I am going to miss the zumba classes in the afternoon too. UGH! We only have 1 car currently and this is the time I reallllly wish we had 2. I'm going to try and get to the gym after work or go for a walk. If I can drag my butt outta bed at 4:45 - I might go in the morning.

Totally committed! One way or another I WILL get my activity in. I am SOOO close to being in ONEderland... I can't stop!

That is awesome! Great job!

Wow!!! That's a great factoid!

You were on your own this morning... I have a trainer appointment at 4:30 so I slept in this morning... can't say I minded! You're doing fantastic and staying so consistent... you go girl!

Thanks!! Have fun with your training appointment tonight!! I sleep in on the weekends (and by sleeping in I mean 6am). lol.

YES WE ARE!! You are doing GREAT with your running program!!!!!

do you have a trainer Zoeyesign your own workout.

I don't have a trainer yet. I do cardio 4-5 days a week (walk, jog, elliptical etc) , and I do strength training at least 3-4 days a week. I have a decent knowledge of health and fitness (I have a degree in Health and Wellness), so I am good with my own routine currently. I may think about hiring a trainer in the next few months to help tone up some areas.

That is Awesome!!! Great job!!!

That is fantastic!! Great job :-)

Congrats!

You go girl! I was running right along beside you this morning -- on week 4 of Zombies Run 5k training. Ran/walked 50 minutes starting around 5:10. We're workout buddies!

That's GREAT! You are doing SOOO good!! Love having a workout buddy!!

great job!

Taking care to not get batwings, huh? I love arm work but I think I'm still gonna be flapping in the breeze....

I don't know if i'll be able to get rid of the batwings entirely - but I sure as hell am going to try! hahaha!!

That's awesome! I'm signed up for my first 5k on September 27th... I'm on week 4 of a couch to 5K program. My goal is to try to run most of it. I'm also registered for another one 5 weeks later on November 1st where the goal is to run all of it. Just keep training and moving and you'll make it!

Not sure how much running I'll get in. I haven't started the couch to 5k yet. When ever I jog I get shin splints (always have). Hoping with the weight loss it wont happen as much or it will get better. I'll jog some of the race (the down hill sections...lol). Hoping to be up to running a 5k by next spring, I belong to a run club that continues running in the winter at an inside track, so i'll be able to train all winter.

I was afraid to start the C25K myself... I had tried it before and always had to stop with hip pain and shin splints. But, after losing about 30 pounds I decided to give it a try. It's really easy the first week or two... just running 15 second intervals here and there and gradually building up. I've been pleasantly surprised I've been able to keep up and have very little pain (sometimes soreness in my hip that's always sore).

But -- if walking it quickly is a challenge for you and that's where you're at -- that's great! Keep pushing and challenging yourself and you can get anywhere you want to go!

day-ummm.... That's incredible! You must be busting your butt working hard and now it's paying off!

Awesome!!! Keep up the great work!

Thanks everyone! Ginger - I think my body was revolting/in shock by holding onto the lbs for the past few weeks. lol & @alxmak1021 - Thanks! You should come to the meeting tomorrow night!!

Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Let your new tummy be the boss of you. Be the Tummy Whisperer and communicate with you tummy. This is a lifelong battle of advances and retreats. Take care.

You and me both...don't know what it was today but it was Hard Hard Hard....here's looking to a better tomorrow!

I have found that with Quest bars near by, I make better choices but if I am out of them..my choices are not very good...little bites of homemade cheesecake here and there aren't good for me So hoping your day will be better.

That doesn't sound crazy. Sounds like 55 minutes of cardio and 55 minutes of weights Tonight for me is Body Works plus abs.

I love Zumba but want to get in some weight training tonight too... soooo why not!

Prayers sent your way.

Done

Will say a prayer.

I was out walk/running with you this morning... glad to know I wasn't alone in the AM!

Nope! Not alone. Just wasn't going to make it to the gym. But 5:30am - I was in my living room dancing around! Ha!! (If only my husband would have come out to see my sweet moves... lol!!!)

happy "29th" b'day LOL- glad you are feeling great - life keeps getting better

my son says but your 29 every year

Thanks @proudgrammy ! and @MisPetunia - My husband has started saying that too!! Ha!

Me too -- weights day for me... muscles will be complaining later!

Nice to have an early morning buddy! We've GOT THIS!

BEWM!!! get it in!!!

Ginger - we SO got this!! Yesterday morning was the elliptical followed by squats, lunges and planks. THEN after work went to a Zumba class! Wasn't sure about going this morning - but glad that I did!! I may take tomorrow morning off and go to a class tomorrow night. We'll see how I feel in the morning. lol.

That's dedication. Keep up the good work.

Me too, girl! Running with the zombies at 5:30 this morning.

We are SO on the same wavelength! Had the alarm set to get up and do a workout but had the volume on the phone turned down and I laid it on something soft so the vibration didn't work either. Guess it's an after work workout for me, too.

I had a support group meeting last night that ran a bit late. Had to grab dinner afterwards & didn't get home until about 11. At that point - I would have had about 5 hours of sleep... so I knew the gym wasn't going to happen. lol. Hubby promised me he will come with me after work today.
