I wanted to update my stuff for today

1 cup shredded wheat with skim milk, 8 ounces non sweetened grapefruit juice (breakfast)

20 ounces of honey & lemon green tea

Just finished 1.5 miles on my gazelle in 32 minutes (sweating like a stuffed pig)

20 more ounces of honey & lemon green tea

Teresita, I am working on my intake...I just started on fitday.com and trying to keep better track of everything...This is my first week of working on this issue and I see that there is a problem and find myself at the end of the day being about 150-200 calories short on my intake...I love this post and am working hard at getting everything in order and trying to make it work for me!!! I feel like a scientist this week trying to figure out all my numbers and my workout times...My husband just sits back and laughs and rolls his eyes at me, but in the long run I will win this battle

Okiefamily I'm with you, seeing others exercise motivates me too.

Avilla you are already a winner. Don't let anything distract you from your course. You have a plan so stick to it, we are all in this together.

Creating an Effective Home Workout

By Greg Shealey, M.S.

One way to stay in shape when you have a tight time schedule, but certainty not the only method, is to create an at-home circuit training routine. A good circuit training routine has various combinations of exercises and can be performed when access to equipment is limited. For the person with a busy schedule and limited workout equipment, circuit training can be performed in very little time. A good circuit training routine encompasses several types of exercises such as weight training, flexibility, aerobics and calisthenics, just to name few. An effective circuit training routine is designed with several different types of exercises. Most circuit training routines consist of seven to 12 different exercises. As you begin working out, each exercise must be designed so that you can move quickly from one exercise to another. Each exercise should be designated to developing a specific area of your body. For example, exercise 1 may be lateral arm raises for the shoulder muscles (utilizing small hand weights); exercise 2, push-ups for chest development; and exercise 3 will be leg lunges to build up the quadriceps in the legs. Between each exercise, you may perform 30 seconds of jumping jacks or aerobic steps to maximize a continuous flow. Over time you can add or change exercises to meet your specific needs. The goal is to maintain a flow of muscular endurance activities. Although circuit training is mainly for muscular endurance, if a continuous workload is maintained, the workout benefits may transfer over into cardiovascular development.

Depending on time and your fitness ability, a circuit training routine can be performed in as little as 25 minutes. When time permits, you can always increase the duration and/or intensity of your workout for further development. Some other good choices of at-home exercise routines include yoga, aerobics and tai chi.

Sorry I have not posted, this weekend my husband took me on a trip to lake havasu. Be back and ready for camp today! will post specs tonight<3

My final count for today

1 cup shredded wheat with skim milk (breakfast) 60 ounces of honey & lemon green tea(0 calories) i think this counts as water intake, will have to double check with the nurse on friday

Hey MorningFuneral I missed you but you have a great "excuse" to be MIA. What a good hubby you have. MF did you....wait a minute I don't think I should abreviate your name like that. I'll just say Morning. Hey are you counting your calories, it doesn't look like you have a enough calories there. You have to feed your body or it goes into starvation mode and you will not be able to maximize your lost.

Avilla it likes a lot but just count your calories and keep the carbs low.

I got you Kareyquilts, check post #69 and #70 on page 5. Great job on your food and exercise for the day.

WOW time2live you are doing it. You are jumping out the gate and running. EVERYONE TAKE A LOOK AT TIME2LIVE!!!!!!! TAKE NOTES!!!!!

I had my weigh in last night and I am proud to annouce that I lost 3 pounds this week. WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!! BOOOOOYAAAAAAA!!!!!!

14 pounds to go to reach -100. I can do this by the end of next month with you guys behind me. WHO'S GOT MY BACK!!!?????

Way to go Teresita....You are doing so wonderful...You will be there before you know it...Im not going to talk about my situation right now, but you get the picture!!

Avilla we are in this together. Bottom line exercise is key, that is when I lose weight consistently. Why do I stop exercising? Because it is easier not to do it but I know I can't reach my goals in the time frame I want if I don't exercise. I have to put it in my head and JUST DO IT!!!! NOT THINK ABOUT, NOT TALK ABOUT IT BUT DO IT!

Doing it means everything. If you need exercise shoes or clothes to make you comfortable and not hurt yourself you need to do it. If you need a fill get it. If you need to get your blood pressure checked, see your doctor. If you know you are not drinking your Water drink it. We may say easier said then done, sometimes we just need a helping hand. We may need someone to go with us to the store or to the doctor. We may need someone to call and say did you do your 10 sit ups or your 5 minutes of walking 3 times that day. We make it hard but we together can make it easier. I know I need help, I need people to motivate me and keep me going. Everyone here helps me directly or indirectly when they post.

THANK YOU AVILLA, THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

Thank you SGT!!! I will fall back in line now and be have!!! I have been doing my workout 6 days a week with only sunday off...And I am scheduled for another fill on friday and hopefully it will help me along this broken road of mine
