Congrats on your surgery date EbonyRose!!!

Yesterday: Treadmill~ High intensity run/walk intervals (50 minutes) Strength training~ arm machines (20 minutes) Today: Zumba class~ 45 minutes Treadmill~ High intensity run/walk intervals (40 minutes) Upper body and abs with trainer~ 25 minutes That's gonna get me through the weekend. I'm just gonna take it easy until Monday.

It's raining cats and dogs here. Well, I've had a busy morning. I went to Zumba this morning. It was sooooo fun!! Then, I ran on the treadmill (high intensity run and walk intervals). Then, one the trainers at the Y, worked with me and my SIL on upper body and abs. I am sooooo tired...but it's a good tired, lol. I think that's gonna take me through the weekend. I'm not planning on doing much until Monday. We have a birthday party to go to tomorrow and I just can't find the time to do anything on Sundays. Between church, lunch, choir practice, then church again, there's no time, lol. Hope everyone has a great weekend! I'll be sure to let you guys know when hear about Renewed. She's in surgery as we speak. I'm soooo excited for her. Can't wait to hear from her hubby!!

Oh....and Happy Bandiversary Renewed!! What a great bandiversary gift you are getting, lol. One that you totally deserve for all your hard work.

Happy Bandiversary Renewed!!! I commented on the other thread, but I think it's worth mentioning again. You look FANTASTIC!!! You really do inspire me. I'm sending up prayers for you.

Renewed....you look freakin' fantastic!!! Wow, you inspire me. Let's all send out prayers and good thoughts for Renewed. She should be arriving at the hospital right about now and going into surgery in about an hour or so. I'm saying a prayer for you now. My best band buddy is gonna be smokin' hot!

Congratulations lojo!! That's wonderful!! I will keep you in my prayers.

I'm thinking about you girl. And praying you have a speedy recovery. I will call your hubby if I haven't heard from him by 4:00 or so. Whoooo Hoooo, you are soooo headed for the flatlands girl!

Lyn~ sorry about the job. But like Renewed said, something even better will come your way. Keep your spirits up. I missed Pilates this morning, but I ran tonight. I kinda switched it up and did intervals. I ran at a speed of 5.5 and some at 6.0 and walked at 3.5 with a distance of 3.2 miles. Thought it would be a good idea to switch it up every now and then. My butt and legs are still sore from Zumba Tuesday and I'm doing it again in the morning and I might run too, just depends on how tired I am after Zumba. I will let you guys know as soon as I hear from Renewed's DH. It will probably be mid-late afternoon before I hear something. I'm praying for you girl...

Whooo Hooooo Mia!! Feels great doesn't it!!

Praying everything goes well today.

You are 1 day away from having a flat tummy!! You so deserve it too!

Thanks globally!! It was really fun and I am soooooo sore today. I worked muscles I didn't know I had, lol. I plan on doing it again on Friday.

I agree! I'll do the happy dance with you, lol. Colleen rocks!! I'm hoping she takes it this year!

Good luck tomorrow Shalee! I'm praying everything goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

2 more days! I can't believe it's almost time. How ya feeling? You're going to do great!!

Sounds really fun Kathy!! Oh my, I am soooo sore today. I thought my abs would be really sore, but it's my legs and butt! I guess it was all those squats in Zumba!! Maybe I'll be recovered before Zumba on Friday, lol.

I feel the same about Heba too. To think I was actually rooting for her in the beginning. I can't stand Vickie and Brady either. I hope black kicks their butts!!!

I don't think anyone is saying that Oprah needs to endorse WLS. But it would be nice if she could open her mind just a little and not be so deadset against it. I think it's great when someone can lose the weight on their own, but not everyone can. I've seen some of her weight loss shows and there is a HUGE difference in her mood when WLS is involved. It's quite obvious. She obviously isn't able to do it on her own either. And you can tell she's not happy about her weight. Even if she doesn't want to have WLS because of her "fear of surgery and needles", why not be happy and supportive of those who do succeed with WLS? I'm just throwing this out there, but I wonder if she's a bit jealous of those who have had WLS? Maybe she secretly wants to, but feels she can't because that would be admitting she was wrong...

Sorry it took so long luluc. We just got home from visiting my sister. Here is the link --> http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f273/low-carb-recipies-19956/

Renewed, did you get the pumpkin chili recipe from the low carb thread? If so, it's reallly good. I made a while back and I loved it!!

Oh, I have no doubt you will come back with a vengeance, lol. You will be itching to get back to it... Yeah Leslie!! Glad you're getting back to it! You feeling better today?

Kathy, it's funny you should that about your hubby. Mine is the same way. I roped him into coming in the Zumba class with me because he was off work today. He was soooooo funny to watch. He was giving me "the look" through the whole class. He didn't enjoy it at all, lol. He felt awkward and told me he almost pretended to get a phone call so he could leave, lol. Typical man I guess. I loved it though.....it was very fun!! I forgot how much rythme I actually had. In my smaller days, I was quite the dancer. It's great to feel comfortable doing it again. luluc~ You'll have a great time at Zumba!! If you like to dance, you'll enjoy it. Leslie~ Yes, I loved it!! Yeah, there is quite a bit of twisting going on. My abs should be really sore with the zumba and the pilates.

I read on the Zumba thread that the DVD's are hard to follow. I dunno though? My MIL has been trying to get me to do it for months and I didn't think I would like it, but I did. tI was a great workout too because I was very sweaty when I left.

LOL! Your Shakira hips would benefit you then, because there is a lot of shakin' going on, lol. I forgot how fun dancing was, since I haven't done it in like 10 years. I'll be doing it again on Friday.
