Yes I know I'm early but would like to sleep late tomorrow.

So far I have walked every day and got both weight wo in. I hope that having somewhat lighter expectations might make this plan work. I almost missed today's treadmill because I thought I had already done it. That was last night.

We will be getting the last of the Christmas put away in the next two days.

3rd week of January already and I am not where I wanted to be scale wise :mad:

Need to get more aggressive!!
 
Jann I know what you mean. I was lighter Christmas day than I am now. That vacation did me in and it always takes longer to lose than to gain.
 
Weigh in 165.6. Exactly the same as last Monday. I was 168.4 when I came home for vacation so I guess the average is ok for a week and a half. Next week will be better. Or so I tell myself.

I cooked up a bunch of chicken breasts for the week and will make a big pot of veg. soup tomorrow.

Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend.

Hi, Y'All!

I had a pretty busy day today. Had to get some food and a few things we needed. We are supposed to get more snow, followed by freezing rain, then just plain rain. When I have to go shopping, followed by some of the work I had to do today, I am worn out before bedtime.

I did manage to get in a workout today. I did one of Rebekah's new ones from the Firm Express, and I followed it with a Classical Stretch posture workout. I am somehow going to get this weight off and keep it off!

Have a great night, everyone!

Good morning -- woke up to a snow covered driveway with a thin layer of ice on top!! So I was out there at 7:00am -- done. I may try to get some stretching and abs in later.

Magnolia we have the same forecast!! :eek:

I actually added a pound from last week -- :mad: I don't know how that happened! :mad:
 
Hi, Y'All.

My back started giving me a little trouble yesterday, so I have given it two days' rest. I have such a busy day tomorrow, there is no way I'll even be able to get in the shortest workout. Maybe another day's rest wouldn't be the worst thing, anyway.

Have a great evening, everyone!

hi ya'll, sorry to be gone for so long, hope all are well, just can't seem to get to the computer lately. too busy. but have been working out, just busy.
 
I still haven't downloaded the new wo. I hope my code didn't expire. I haven't updated the workout blender either.

We had a foot of snow. They kept telling us it would be 4 to 6 inches. Just a little wrong. Shoveling might be my wo today. I already did my 3 miles.

Joan you must have gotten our snow. We didn't get any. Not that I am complaining... just commenting. ;)

House max for me today!! I need to hiit it -- :D:D

Yesterday was cardio.. firm express + kettlebell swings.
 
They didn't get the last 3 inches plowed on our subdivision street. It was 2 degrees at 7am so I think we have a lot of ice. We didn't even get mail yesterday. It was one of the top ten snowfalls in St Louis history for that date. They are talking about another 3-6 inches either today or tomorrow. We are not used to this.

I can't seem to reduce calories. I don't go over maintenance but no low days.

Hi, Y'All!

We got about another 5 inches of snow last night, but the sun is out now. The wind is blowing snow all over the place. I think this is probably the worst January (weather-wise) that I can remember. They are predicting more snow for next week, too. :eek: I am not used to this, either!!

I did Firm Express (Cycle 2 cardio) and Classical stretching for my back this morning. It will have to be housemax for the rest of today. Speaking of which, I had better get busy!

Have a great day, everyone!

It sounds like my area (DC/MD/VA) last year. We had so much snow, I hated it!! I feel for you!! This year seems back to normal, so far! :eek:
 
all i can say is YUCKO!!!! where are you , joan? and, i'm complaining about 27, but i'm a texan, we don't like cold weather down here.
magnolia, you're in NY. right?
 
Hi, Y'All.

Cathy, I do live in NY, a displaced Southerner. I really do not like the cold weather, either. Right now it is in the low 20s out there, maybe lower. It is not supposed to get above 25 tomorrow, and the low going into Monday is supposed to be 6! Oh, well, I guess I'll be working out inside this week!

Take care, everyone, and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
