So much of our time is spent focused on what we eat. It is so beautiful outside right now, so I want to shift my focus to moving!!!! I am challenging myself and anyone who will join me to commit to "Moving More in March"!!! We will still measure our success in pounds, but instead of sharing what we ate each day, lets share what activity we did to move those extra pounds!!! The challenge will begin tommorrow 3/18/08 and end on 4/24/08. i know this is a little over a month, but this date is my 6 month bandiversary and I want to be down 60 pounds by that day!! COME JOIN ME!!!!

Moving on to a better me!!

I am not good at the charts, so if anyone want so improve on it feel free!!!

Just copy the most recent one, make changes and pot it!!

OK, today I worked out with my trainer for 1 hour and then did the first day of the couch to 5k(except I accidently started on week 2). Here is the link to the couch to 5k if anyone is interested. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f81/couch-5k-come-join-me-56878/

How is everyone doing???

Amy

Well Renewed, I haven't been doing so well. I've been on vacation for the past week and I've gained 2 lbs. I was actually expecting it to be more. I have lost my restriction. I thought I was at my sweet spot from the last fill and now I hardly have any. My next appt isn't until April 24th, grrrr! I really need a fill. The good news is, I have almost saved up enough money to join the YMCA. When my hubby gets paid on Friday, I am going to go join. I'm excited about that! Maybe I will have a better update next time, lol!

You should be very proud of only a 2 pound weight gain on vacation. Don't be hard on yourself!! Cool on the YMCA. You will really enjoy that!! My cousin is a personal trainer, so I get a REALLY good deal on training. I just started this week.

Amy

Hey ladies. I haven't been doing to well either. I found out 2 things:

that I am severely deficient in D, B1, B6, B12, and Iron. Pretty much my body was malnourished and freaking out. I was pale, weak, having weird pains, severe fatigue, brittle hair and dry, dry ,dry skin. I'm now taking so many pills its crazy, but I do feel better.

And that my home scale is 3.5lbs off. So I actually weight almost 4lbs more than I thought. But I I round down:tongue:.

To be honest this all threw me for a loop. So much so, I ate my way through my recovery week. BUT, Last week I returned to my exercise and better eating. I did so well I lost 10lbs! 6 of which, I gained in a week! I guess I needed those Vitamins. I'm starting to think these deficiencies were what was slowing my weight loss.

Sorry for the long story

Anywho....I am adjusting my stats for my actual weight. All in all I am down 4lbs!

Chocolate snaps, sorry you are having so much trouble. I'm glad you are feeling better now. Congrats on the weight loss!

Thanks so much Georgia Girl.

Wow Chocolate. So sorry you have't been feeling well. Sounds like you've been pretty sick. So glad you are feeling better. way to go on the weight loss!!

I'm bored with my workout routine. I know I need to shake it up. I'm thinking about joining a gym instead of using the one at work. That way I can do spinning and kickboxing classes. I have access to fantastic cardio/machines/free weights at work, but no classes. I've been doing the work gym regularly since October of 06.

Anyway, that's where my thougths are at the moment.

Okay I need to get motivated again.So I wanna join you guys. I have a fill scheduled for the 19th.I hope that will help me.I have to where Im eating the totally wrong things!!

WTG Jennypoo!!! TOM has come to visit me, so I was up and now back down to what my ticker says. I keep forgetting, however, to post my activity. Yesterday I worked out witht the trainer for 30 minutes, did a 1hr kickboxing class and road my stationary bike for 25 minutes. I have signed up to run a 5k in May!!! Yes, I am nuts, but no doubt I will be at the gym getting ready.

Hope to update with some weight loss soon.

Amy

I to am thinking about doing the 5K here next month. Ive been hittin the treadmill in the evenings at the gym. I so need to get more motivated!!!

Jenn

They have a Susan G Koman Race for The Cure 5k about an hour from here next month on the 10th. That is not long, but my mom is a breast cancer survivor and I thought it would be a great way to honor her and Celebrate my new choices that will decrease my risk of ever having to go through what she did with cancer.

Ok, that was pretty sappy, but true. I am really looking forward to training for and being successful in this race.

Amy

Thats the same one Im thinking about doing?On the same day!!

How cool is that!!
