      I'm right there with ya. 5am is bad enough - let alone getting up any earlier. :/ Going to the gym today after work. Hoping I can keep that up until our schedules go back to normal in a couple weeks. GREAT JOB for getting up and getting it DONE!!!

      Good for you! One day at a time, and you did today. Keep it up.

      @Zoey716 -- the assessment went well. I was a little disappointed that I hadn't improved more in some areas... still weak in core; arms were much better and more flexible... hips/legs still very tight but a little better. Gotta work that core more (which I hate!)

       

      Thanks @RJ'S/beginning -- I am finally starting to get comments at work -- I think people are afraid to say anything until it's just obvious -- just like when you think somebody is pregnant! :)

  6. That's a new BMI number there on my ticker... 27 (who cares about what's after the decimal anyway!)

  7. 2/3s of the way to goal in less than 3 months... YES... I can do this!

  8. Yes, that's MY A$$ in freakin' size 10 jeans!!! Woot Woot heard coming from the dressing room!

  10. Lost 2 on vacation -- all that hiking, swimming and fresh fish in Belize made for a successful week.

      Congrats Ginger, I am only 5lbs away from my half way and I am so excited for monday to come and I am in hopes that I can hit that this week!!!

    2. Zoey716

      Zoey716

      WOOT WOOT to BOTH of you!!! :)

  13. Sitting at the same weight for a week now... if this pound doesn't drop and get me to the halfway point soon, I'm going to start cutting off appendages to drop the weight! :)

      @Ginger Snaps - That is SOOOO exciting!! You are doing SOOO well!!! I too avoid using the word stall. I have been hitting the gym regularly (atleast 5 times per week), tracking everything - my concern is that I may not be eating enough. I know my body needs more calories for the work outs that I do, however I physically can't eat more. Hoping I break free from this sticky point quickly!! :)

      I hear you @Zoey716 -- I had to add in more calories when I started working out hard -- my nutritionist told me to add in some carbs (veggies/fruits) because you need it for the energy to workout. But I can't really seem to get a lot more calories without cutting down on the protein. I get around 600-800 calories a day but need to kick up the protein more -- I haven't been hitting 60 lately.

      Zoey716

      @Ginger Snaps - Same here!! I get in the same # of calories as you. I've been trying to add in more fruit and veggies (salad with a protein at lunch and a piece of fruit for a snack). I'm still low on protein - anywhere from 55-65 grams most days. Hoping with the increase in carbs that will help the scale! (Weird that now we are trying to eat more to lose!?!) :)
