September has officially ended, as has our exercise thread. So here's one for October. Anyone want to join me for some accountability?

today -

1hr walk - such a pretty morning.....

georgia, thank you (food thread) for the nice comment.

bandanniversary for hubby and i today. wasn't going to do anything - but thought that sorta defeats the purpose of why i got the band....so took an early walk; hubby sleeping in of course. LOL

in a yr:

lulu - 77lbs lost; 98% excess weight loss

lulu's DH - 68lbs lost; 103% excess weight loss

not bad, the route i walked today was the first real walk i had after being banded. i remember HUFFING it - lots of hills & thought wow i run this now..:crying:

what a great way to celebrate the past year , Luluc. Sounds like that walk really shows how far you have come in 1 short year. It's not just about scales, but health, and feeling alive. You have done it all!! Kudos to you!!!!

I'm joining the 'need a kick in the butt' club today - did absolutely NOTHING over the weekend, and ate WAY too much...

Getting back on the stick today - walked with DD and DDog today, will walk again at lunchtime (at least I'm consistent with that) and will be in the gym tonight. Just waiting on my pre-surgery appt and to get a date to be banded. Seems like my appetite has gone crazy in the past couple of days and my willpower is waning.

I am journaling my food now - it makes me think twice about shoving something in my mouth if I know I have to write it down. Not feeling strong today - hopefully getting in the gym tonight will help that slacker feeling...

Nice to read everyone else's progress - y'all are doing great!

I didn't run yesterday either. I was SOO discusted after watching the Cowboys. That game was aweful.... Anyway, DS is sick and we had to go to the ER last night. He has a systemic staph infection and cellulitis of his bottom. Poor little guy. He is pretty miserable. Planning to run 3 miles today. It may have to be on the treadmill.

today -

3.75mile run - "suppose" to play twilight golf tonite; we'll see if hubby's up for it.

hope the little guy is feeling better today renewed. the game was very sad to watch.

Congratulations on 1 year Luluc! I didn't get online this weekend but wanted to send my thoughts to you a day late :-)...ya'll are both extraordinary and inspirations.

Friday night's Body Sculpting had me sore all weekend. My pectoral muscles were killing me for two days! I can definately tell I never use those. Tricepts too - i guess I know where I am the weakest. I overslept this morning and didn't have time to get my workout clothes. I am going home and back to the gym to exercise. I think I'm going to head to the new Y in Lee County. It is closer to my house - the Y I normally go to (Dougherty Co.) is closer to my work. They just opened in Late August and I haven't tried it out yet. I'm sure I'll miss Zumba class, but I plan on running and then hitting the weights.

I took yesterday off, but plan to run 3 miles today. we are going to our land to ride 4 wheelers so I will run when we get home (after I watch the cowboys!!)

Ah, good, another true fan on here! luluc and I welcome you into our little club. As for yesterdays game, I only got to see the last drive in regulation for the Cards and then our last drive in reg. to tie it up. Missed OT and glad I did.:laugh: Could not believe it when I saw the replay of the blocked punt and the guy didn't even get touched:cursing:. Now, Romo out for about a month, McBriar on I/R I believe, Felix out for 2 wks, Hurd needing surgery and Ratliff hurt. Not looking good for the moment.

Ok, rant over. Here was my workout today:

Bench: 225 x 8

Asstd chin ups: set @ 90 x 8

Incl. Bench: 135 x 8

BB curls: 75 x 8

Cbl Tri pushdowns: 85 x 8

Mach ab crunches: 85 x 8

db military press: 50 x 8

back ext on roman chr: 75 x 8

BB shrugs: 225 x 8

3 circuits-kicked my ASS!

Followed up with 15 minute run on treadmill and 50 minutes on elliptical. Then, off to DD's school to surprise her and had lunch with her. :smile2:

I haven't felt very good this weekend, so my exercise has been a lot less than normal. Yesterday I ran about a mile...nothing today. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.

Yesterday was 40 min of the treadmill - varying inclines and speeds.

Today - 30 minutes swimming - front crawl non stop.

Good morning Warriors...

Happy to report I had a really good workout last night. Mostly upper body - increased poundages and sets on my bench press, seated row, bicep curls, hamstring curls, and pulldowns. Of course that means I'm sore this morning, but oh well! :thumbup:

Walked this morning with DD, DH and DDog - somehow, I was the fastest of all of us this morning. Woke up fired up and full of energy - gotta review my food log so I can remember what I ate and do it again - I feel great! :biggrin:

Back to the gym tonight to blast lower body and other related parts...will check in tomorrow with the muscle-soreness-inducing results.

Everyone have an awesome day, and Luluc - happy belated Bandiversary! :wink2:

thank you leslie / ebony:regular_smile:

today -

1mile bike warm up

90min trainer session - this biggest loser show has the trainers @24hrfit doing smiliar routines & i can barely type this, my arms hurt to hold up...LOL

"last chance workout" - full body workout cardio & weight training, till i about puked. didn't have enough food in me & i felt it. :laugh:

Still feeling puny, but I managed to get in a 1 mile run. Not great, but it's all I could do.

last night did a very brisk 35 minute walk - carrying my knapsack and lunchbag

This morning - 25 minutes cycling and 20 minutes on weight training (just received the training this morning, so now I have a clue what to do, and how to do it)

Yesterday was leg circuit training followed by 65 minutes on elliptical. Today, no lifting. 50 minutes on elliptical this morning.

planned to go for a run this AM & was SO thankful to hear the rain on our tin roof....LOL

wed is normally my day off & i should just keep it that way, as i train tues/thurs w/my trainer and i feel like i was hit by a truck today.

ceradad - 5lbs then your DONE!!!!!!! plan on losing more or is that your final #?
