ok, so nothing since tuesday, but I saw the doc yesterday and she filled me. she wants me to do 2 days of liquids, then 1 day of mushies so she told me not to work out till I get back on regular food. hopefully this weekend I can get in a gym session, I actually kind of miss it!

[jmarruda 22]

ok ok, I ignored the doc...just came back from a 40 minute walk around the neighborhood. Got a good sweat going on. And I don't feel dizzy or weak or anything. Maybe I'll try the gym tomorrow, after all I will be able to eat mushy food...

Thursday 26th

Nothing again!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE????? The plan was to do a 15 mile ride this evening, but we ended up out to dinner with DH high school friend. Didn't plan on being gone that long, but it was dark when we got home. NOW I am out my bike ride, and not all too happy about it!! It just shows you that if I don't push myself to do the exercise, NO ONE WILL!!!!! This is really messing with my head. It is like the littler I get, the less I feel like doing it. Like the old diet mentality, oh well, I blew it so I might as well just keep on eating now!!!

Ok, I am done feeling sorry for myself. Going camping this weekend, so won't be getting in any bike riding. That really sucks!!

[jmarruda 22]

Ok, so I was a little ambitious last night, no gym this morning...maybe I'll go for a walk tonight though.

areellady - you need to get your butt in gear!!! Maybe while camping you can walk around the grounds??? You are such an inspiration to me...you need to work it girl!

I think its time to set some goals for august...I have been watching everyone and their tickers, I think its high time I got one. But first I need a goal for August!

[areellady 1]

jm, how about 10 pounds for Aug. That is about 2 pounds a week. If you work it really hard, you can do it!!!! I am doing a challenge that lasts through labor day. Started it in July. I have 10.5 more to get to my goal for that. SOOOO, I will do the 10 pound challenge with you for August. Do you think that is too little? We can do more.

Friday 27th

a.m. 9.72 mile bike ride, one hour strength training on Bowflex

the rest of the weekend, I am going to use the bathroom that is way up the boat ramp...and I mean WAY UP THE BOAT RAMP!! So I will be working my butt off literally!!!!!

[jmarruda 22]

Let me tell you...If I don't lose 10lbs this month, everyone around me is going to be bruised!!!! Ha! I haven't lost 1lb in over a month. August better be my month! I'll take you up on that challenge. I just got a fill and I'm going to be a gym rat so I am ready!

I would like to also get at least another 10 lbs off by the end of August, but there are 5 weeks that month, so maybe more.

My goal is to get to 270, and get in 130 miles. Biking and or walking.

[jmarruda 22]

hoosierpoms - come on and join us!!! I would like to lose a total of 60lbs by my 6 month anniversary, which is sept 5, but I'm not sure thats going to happen. I still need to lose 19lbs...

Ok so Sat the 28th....55(!) minutes on elliptical trainer (600 calories burned) and 35 minutes on the stationary bike for 7 1/2 miles (225 calories burned). I am so psyched! I hope I can get to the gym tomorrow....
