Good morning!!

I had a revalation last night, and NOT a good one. I was getting dressed to go bowling and realized my size 8 jeans were soooo tight. Time to get serious! This time last year I was a size 4!! So it's back to workouts EVERY DAY with NO excuses, and low carb eating to get my re-loss jump started!

Today will be either Power Hour or Push/Pull when I get home from work.

What's everyone else up to today?
Jill
 
Good morning,

Jill, I'm jealous of your size 8 jeans :) In spite of how much I work out, I don't think I'll ever get below a 10! Good for you for your determination. I go back and forth between wanting to watch what I eat really closely and just not having the motivation to think about it too much. That's always been the issue for me.

This morning I did Hardcore Extreme 3 and the timesaver premix on GS chest and triceps. My boyfriend was up coughing a lot of the night so neither of us slept well. My biology lab is canceled tonight, so I may be a bad student and skip out on the lecture if I'm too worn out by the time the day is over.

It sure was cold out this morning! I have to find my gloves :eek:

Take care,

Ellen
 
Good morning Ellen! I know a size 8 isn't huge by any means, but it's 20 lbs. more than I was last year, so there's the perspective. I haven't had any motivation the last few months and look what happens! I just lose control-I guess I will always have to be careful of what I eat. Oh to be 20 again!

I hate this weather! I wore gloves this morning, too. And I got some winter clothes out yesterday and did some wash-had to wear some warm jammies last night, and I put my flannel sheets on the bed.

I can't wait until Spring! LOL

Brrrr! I spent the weekend freezing. My son had his last flag football game on Saturday in the cold and drizzle. I soooooo hoped the game was going to get cancelled but no such luck. Went to the Modjeska yesterday for David Seebach's Halloween magic show. It was good but the theatre was freezing and no hot cocoa or coffee for sale. I got my leather gloves out yesterday. That helped. Also, watching DH and GA last night with a blanket and cat on my lap.:)

I did Step 'n Intervals in its entirely (including chest) on Saturday. Yesterday was Leaner Legs. Today I did the rest of CTX upper body and All Step abs.

Jill - I'm also envious of your size 8 jeans but I know you're petite so to you it may seem big. To us taller gals (I'm 5'6") it sounds pretty darn good!LOL

Stay warm and don't think about the Packers x( .

Hi BBs,
Home for the bath project today and tomorrow. It is going OK - some problems but I am very confident of the guy doing the work. So far he has worked thorugh every stumbling block and without whining like the other guy. I had some painting to do this morning before he got here and will have more to do tonight so that will be my workouts for the day. Hope to get back to normal workouts starting tomorrow. Last week was a rough one for me. I periodically get headaches that start in my neck and shoulder where the muscles twist up under my scalp. Fortunately not as often anymore but had one last week. They always take 2-3 days to go away. This time though I think I figured out an exercise that was aggrevating it. I also went out and bought a new pillow. My neck wasn't as stiff this morning so think I am on the right track.

Jill - Hang in there! I know this has been a rough time for you.

Are we still looking at 11/7 for the get together? Also time and place that is good? We can do 6 or 6:30 if that works better for most.
 
Hi Marie! Glad to hear your bathroom project is going well. But not about your headache. Is it a migraine? At least you are maybe solving the problem with a new pillow.

I'm in for 11/7. I'm supposed to have a school meeting, but I'll skip it. My ex's new work schedule isn't starting until the week after now, so I can be there anytime. How about the Texas Roadhouse on I94 & Moorland? I don't know how convenient that is for everyone (I know it is for you lol), but I've been wanting to try it out. Or Tumbleweed's is good too-I think Laurie suggested that. They have $1.99 margaritas!

Sue-I know it's getting so cold! I made a fire in the fireplace on Fri and Sat night. It's nice to sit with it although the rest of the house gets colder lol. And yes, being shorter makes a difference in sizing! I've been a 16 before and I've been a 2 before (albeit only for about 2 days lol). So an 8 isn't the end of the world. It's just that I have all these clothes that are too small for me and it's depressing.

I've done well with my eating today---low carb and no cheating!
 
Today was step blast and pyramid upper body both from FitTV. The eating has gotten better.

Jill-I know that you can back on track. I know that you will get back to the size that you want to be, hard work is just what it is HARD work. I too jave been in a slump but I know that we BOTH are going to work HARD and get to our fitness goals.

To all other BB, keep up the great work :D :D
 
Hi Everyone,

Did Kristen Kagen's STW2 and ME lowerbody premix. I'm wiped.

Went to Fagstaff Saturday. It is so beautiful up there. It was nice to see green grass and the fall colors. Great hiking. We went up on a ski lift 12,000 ft. Pretty cold, but what a sight! There was even snow. Going back in a couple weeks for some hiking.

What a brutal game yesterday. I thought we might pull it off.:-(

Sorry the weather is awful. I won' tell you about the weather here.}(

Marie: watch the neck, that's how I started out. Glad you are taking it easy and feeling better. BTW, mine has been good. That injection really helped. Once in awhile though, I get a stiff neck. Certain weight work will set it off, so I do watch it.

Good workouts everyone!

Cynthia
 
Hi Cynthia--thanks for not sharing how wonderful that AZ weather is!! My sister lived in Tempe for 7 years so I know. :)

Jedi-THANK YOU for your kind words!! You guys have all been so nice. :)

I have such trouble with social eating. This weekend I am going with a friend to Great Wolf Lodge and we are taking the kids to the Halloween fest there. It will be a challenge.

I've got one day of clean eating under my belt, so to speak. :)
 
Jill - What a coink-a-dink! We are going to Great Wolf Lodge, too! We'll be gone by the weekend though...staying only Wednesday and Thursday nights and then on to Minneapolis. Too bad. It would have been fun sitting poolside with ya, cocktails in hand. ha ha I'm really not much of a drinker but that idea sounds REALLY appealing right now. :)

Sue
 
I'm in. 6:00 works better for me. Where is Texas Roadhouse? DH and I noticed it off I-94 yesterday but I wasn't really paying that close attention. Either place is fine with me.

Sue
 
Oh Sue I'm so bummed!! That WOULD have been fun! Us poor folks are only going for one night, though LOL.

Texas Roadhouse is that newer restaurant by the Ridge theater-it's back by that (useless) hotel there, on the South side of I43 and Moorland. If that's not the most central location, just say so. It doesn't matter to me---nothing is close to East Troy! LOL
