Getting Ready for Spring Bootcamp

[StartingOver 6]

Checking in with my report for yesterday.

-Got all of my Protein in (80gm)

-Drank all my Water (64oz)

-Took my Vitamins

-Exercise - 40 min treadmill (2.5miles) and 20 minutes weights working lower body

I'm working on my first glass of Water for today and I'll drink my Protein shake in an hour or so. I plan on going to the gym again tonight and getting there early enough to get a full hour on the treadmill.

Great job everyone! Keep up the good work.

Checking in with my report for Sunday's progress.

- Got all of my Water in

- Got all of my Protein in

- Exercised at the gym (1hr on elipticle machine & 15 min upper body on weights)

I forgot to take my Vitamin & I did eat after 9pm (string cheese)

This morning I weigh 277. I plan on weighing every Monday. But I did weight Saturday for the start of the National Body Challenge, and I was at 281-so there's been some progress. I'll head to the gym again today for more cardio.

Have a great week everyone.

Losingjusme-I hope you're feeling better.

Okiefamily- It is frozen here in Seattle too. Most of the roads are clear, but the side streets (like mine) are a solid sheet of ice. Hopefully things will warm up soon, but I think there's another snow advisory for tomorrow. It's been 5 days and our temps haven't creeped above freezing level yet. I used to do the 'Walk Away the Pounds' video and I really liked it, yes it does feel a bit weird walking in place, but it's a good workout. My copy was a DVD and it is so badly scratched that it won't play on my very sensitive DVD player. One goal for today is to go buy another as a backup when I can't walk outside or get to the gym.

I admit it. I hate the Water worst of all!!:phanvan I am exercising and trying to be sooooo gooooood w/my eating. I only drank 20oz of Water on Sat/Sun. I tried adding the crystal light ect, but does that count as plain water?? I need a kick in the butt w/your boot Sarge Teresita!!:cry

Turner....the crystal light totally counts for Water consumption. I have no trouble with my Water these days but that's because I'm addicted to crushed ice...lol.

My weekend went great though I stayed the same weight wise. I've been getting all my water in and doing really well on the eating....just trying to set up a membership at a leisure center so that I can get on the exercising part....you guys all seem to be doing great on that aspect.

Keep up the hard work!!

I created a clothing swap yahoo group

[StartingOver 6]

Here's my update for today.....

- Drank all my Water (it's 10:36pm and I'm finishing up now)

- Exercise 1 hr elliptical machine 20 mins lower body weights 10 min abs

I went to Target and forgot to buy a new Walk Away the Pounds DVD

I forgot my Vitamin (until now-so I'm taking it )

I had not such a great day with food.

Breakfast: 3 pieces turkey bacon

Lunch: a few bites of a very very dry burger

some fries dipped in ranch and consumed one at a time in small bites chewed very well as to not get stuck

and a Dr. Pepper to top it off

No dinner. I was busy. Fed the family first then wanted to rush off to the gym. Not a healthy choice. I'm drinking some Protein now because I know I need something in my system. Tomorrow I will try to eat a healthier, more balanced diet. I know that it's not healthy to skip meals-it really was an oversight cuz I was so busy (and not very hungry).

WOW the weekend is over and I just wanted to respond to everyone. Okiefamily you are wonderful for keep up the moral of the troops while I was away. We all have to support each other!!!

Turner 24 great job on the Friday lunch, baggy jeans and the treadmill. LOL You are batting a thousand. Keep this up and you will have your goals in your back pocket and running up hills carry me on your back.

Gotta get that Water in, it flushes the fat out of the fat cells. Walmart has their own brand of crystal light tubes. They are cheap and I love them. The raspberry ice and grape are wonderful for under $2. I put it in the blender with ice and Water when I am at home other times I just add it to my bottle of water. It does count as water so keep on chugging. You don’t need a kick you just need some water. LOL

Losingjusme great job on the water and your work out. Keep moving that body!!!!! Great Job!!!

I hope you are feeling better and kudos on the kickboxing even though you were not feeling 100%.

Josette your enthusiasm is wonderful. How did you do on the treadmill and bike. Us ladies with long limbs gotta keep them strong. Don’t let chocolate drive you crazy. Believe it or not hot chocolate can subdue that craving. We should have a weigh in but first we need to get our lifestyle changes on track without that added distraction. Everyone is welcome to post whatever they want but right now I want the dedication to original contract. Josette I want to see your numbers ASAP!!!! LOL

Josette I see exercising was done and going to the store does count.

Okiefamily family time is great and cashews taste great but try raw almonds and walnuts next time they have more nutrients. Seeing that you did take in those unconscious 2000 calories I should not see And I didn't get any exercise. Kick up a notch sister if you want that 2.4 turn into 5!!!!!!

Redemption is yours, I see exercise videos, water, Protein and 1000 calories WOOOOHOOOO that’s what I’m talking about. GREAT JOB!!!!!

Mysa WOOOOHOOOOOO Welcome Aboard and Congratulations on the bundle of joy. I am happy to hear you know what you have been doing wrong and the commitment to making the necessary changes to get the body your want. Glad to have you.

WOW that is commitment you jumped right in and doing it all. You are well on your way. Walk Away the Pounds Tapes are great, I started them before surgery and they walk. It just goes to show you movement is key. Walk in place anytime of the day and burn a few extra calories.

Reeizbooje Welcome Aboard!!! You are off to a running start with the gym, walking and swimming, just stick with it. It will be so worth it come Spring and Summer.

Time2live great job on the water and eating. Are you getting in any exercise? Moving your body is going to get you were you want to be faster.

Kareyquilts nice to meet you and Welcome Aboard!!!! Soooooo how’s your water intake?

[Teresita 0]

We Are Growing!!!! We got 3 more cadets to join us to getting popping by time Spring gets here.

Welcome Again People, I'm sure that each one of you have read the commitment agreement and have signed it so that you can begin the new you. Again no excuses will be tolerated!!!!!!

NO EXCUSES

Excuses are tools of the incompetent, building bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothing and those who use them seldomly amount to anything.

Therefore I will not give anymore excuses

For me I had a great weekend

Friday Gym

Saturday Gym

Sunday 3.2 mile walk

Monday 6.4 mile walk and went back for more leisurly stroll at the Lincoln Memorial with hips hurting.

Feeling pretty good about weigh in tonight. I took out some goal jeans and tried them on I was able to get into some my old no stretch 32's back in October but now they are loose and no pulling needing to zip them. I tried on the 30's I can not get them up over my thighs and hips and now have about 5 inches to be able to close them. I will be in them by July.

It's a cold frigid morning here in Missouri but I will get my exercise in. I have been fighting a nasty cold but finally feel up to getting my butt moving. I will do my cardio dance video at the least this evening. It is quite a sight to behold believe me!

I am not currently able to eat too much because I think they got me too full at my last fill so until it is safe to travel to my doctor, I will have to manage. So today I will continue my diet of mostly liquids. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

One more to add to the banana bunch. Avilla it took you long enough. I see you are not eating anything. You need fuel for the engine to run and the right kind of fuel. You can't put diesel fuel in a SUV that requires unleaded. Hello People we have to look at the nutritional value of what we are eating not just calories. Fuel your body to get the best milage.
