Sue-hang in there. Are you drinking enough water???

Diana-can’t wait to hear about the weigh-in. Skinny vibes being sent to you!

Kelly-avoid the monthly bloat by increasing your water intake. I made it a full 12 weeks with NO gain…even at/around TOM!!! WATER WATER, EVERYWHERE! lol

Valerie-thanks for the info on the recipe. I’ve got a whole list of new recipes I want to try, but first I need to eat all the stuff I already have prepped in the fridge! lol

It’s gorgeous out again today. I’m trying to keep myself from going for another run! LOL Oh, the pressures

Hello everybody!

I'm happy to report that this week has been great so far! I'm not 100% well yet but very, very close. I was able to run 3 miles last night with iTread #21 intervals. It was great! Also, my eating has been 99% clean since Monday. (I love my 100 cal snack packs but only one per day!) I've also abstained from Coors Light. LOL I love the stuff and usually have a couple each night. I'm going treat myself with red wine on Friday night.

I've been doing WW for about a year now. I lost the first 25lbs fairly easily but have plateued since last June. I am journaling again and am finding that with eating clean, I am not using all of my FP like I used to. Hopefully this gets me into the 160's!

One last great thing...the ice and snow are finally melting so I will be able to use some of the winter running clothes that my mom made me for xmas on my long run this weekend!!!

I hope to be able to come back to do personals later today...Have a great day everyone!!!

Thanks everyone for your support. It is so very well appreciated, I can't even begin to say how much.

Lorrie - Your timing was perfect! Right before I read your message I saw someone walking down the hallway here at work with a donut on a plate. I swear, if I had located the source of such evil donuts, I would have eaten one. Anyway, I got back to my desk and read your message and that gave me the resolve I needed. No donuts for me today! Success.

Gayle - I drink a lot of water BUT I also drink caffeine (coffee with Equal, diet Mountain Dew) also. Yes, I know it's bad, bad, bad! and I use it as a crutch when I'm not getting enough sleep or need a pick-me-up. I've quit caffeine before but I get tired of drinking water all day long, too. I use the diet soda, too, at night when I'm done eating for the day but am still hungry - not a ravenous sort of hungry - just a peckish sort of feeling where I want a snack. I figure it's better than taking in extra calories.

Diana - Do you mind sharing your exercise plan? Do you do mostly circuits or add the cardio in on your weight training days? I get so confused trying to figure out what I should be doing. I know intense cardio works but my body gets so fatigued if I do too much of it.

I'm off to see my Dr. in a few minutes so I'll let you know how it turns out.

Hi Everyone
Just finished body fusion increased to 5lb wts. and my muscles hurt. I didn't eat my salad for p.m. snack but I did eat an apple. Supper was a low calorie casserole. Tomarrow I walk for 40min and then do ab work. I am going to try to get up early.

I am so excited today's workout was muscle endurance and my dvd arrived today so I did it, well most of it. I skipped the third set of step ups I hate step ups with a passion. I am doing well with the exercise and my Cathe calander has 8 stickers for the month on January. The eating isn't going well my dh's uncle got sick and is on a ventilator so all of the energy in the house is driving me nuts. My dh paces the floor and is upset and crying it is hard. I need to do this for my family a lot of what is happening is due to the fact that his uncle is very overweight and doesn't eat right or exercise, which I have tried to tell him for years. I have got to do better with the eating so that I am a better example but it is so hard.
