Good morning everyone. Well, I weighed myself today, and I am back to my normal weight. I lost the couple of lbs. I gained last week do to very poor eating. So, from now on, if I lose weight, it is weight!!!! I did Imax Extreme yesterday, and after being sick and laying low, it almost killed me, but I did it. Today I am going to do PUB, and some Imax intervals, maybe the intervals only. Have a good day!!!!!!!

Hi Lorihart, congrats on making it to your normal weight! That is great. I stepped on the scale this morning and I am happy too. I am losing.

Yesterday I did push and pull, walked one mile, and ran 3. Feels good to get out there. I really had to psyche myself up to run last night, I was feeling so lazy. But I am glad I did it.

Have a great day,
Lori
 
Hello Again,
I posted on the other thread as you may see.
I did 1/2 of my house work and my running partner forced me to run outside.I didn't want to but I am glad I did now:)
Lori- I think you read wrong.LoriS is down to her normal weight:) I guess you are so use to me starting the thread all the time.Although I am down to my normal weight where I fit into all of my clothes.Good to be there! Glad you are losing again.
LoriS-Congrats on the weight loss.Its great motivation isn't it?
My plan now is to do PLB while I watch my 8 yr old do her homework.Can I kill two birds with one stone? I will try.She normally as a couple of books to read.Then I have to get her dinner b/c she has gymnastics at 5:30.I find Mondays to be the worst b/c she gets home from school,does her homework,eats,goes to bymnastics until 8:30,then she as to get in the tub.Its go,go,go! And I am trying to get dinner at the sametime.
I will check back later,
Lori:)
 
Hi Lori and Lori. oops I did think it was Lorihart. LoriS, congrats on going down to your normal weight. I too am back to the lowest weight I have been since I started WW, so I now can lose for real too.

I just power walked today. Tomorrow I am running and doing PUB.

have a great night,
Lori
 
I finally managed to do a leg workout:) But I only did 1/2 of it and I didn't get my ab workout in.I should have more time tomorrow.
I decided to go back over my post from last year this time b/c I wanted to see how much weight I shed during this busy time.I am pleased to see that I didn't get this low at any point in time AND it was after christmas before I got into the jeans that I have been wearing over the last week.Maybe I will get even lower.
Does anyone want to set a goal weight for chrsitmas morning????? A little bet....whoever wins...someone as to buy them the BodyBlast series! JUST JOKING:) :+ Not a bet bet,but a little goal to work towards?
Is this a bad idea?
Lori:)
 
Hi all you Loris! i figured we needed at least one non-Lori to check in! By the way, my real name is Hope, and I hope to one day be a future fitness dynamo!!!!

Ate great today and did Cardio Kicks tonight. I love this video! Me arches were hurting after 2 days of step, and I love how you can feel kickboxing affecting all your muscles!

Congratulations to all of you for weight loss (either back to normal or continuing on down). Also, Lori, thanks for posting about that website - i love it! Love all the articles on there.

Will check in tomorrow - i'm not brave enough to set a goal for Christmas morning with all my frustration of late (although 150 would be nice and doable!). I do want to commit to workout that morning before the meal. Anyone up for it?
 
Okay I'm butting in. You know what? Me too. I am going to Florida this weerkend. I will have minimal control over my diet. I will not have access to my Cathe workouts. Good Lord! Things might get kinda rough. But I am not going to sweat it too much 'cause I have my workouts when I get back. I will burn it off in no time. Especially since we have that new Hardcore Series to look forward too.


Guys, I am scared. I am a pretty tough cookie but all those pushups really scare me.
 
Good Morning Ladies,
I am just getting off of work and debating working out.I have tonight to workout as well.I am feeling lazy but I won't be able to have a nap.
I haven't been eating very good today.I was starving at work today and I kept popping little choc.in my mouth.My appetite is comming back.
When I do workout it will be UB and a run,or some form of cardio.We will see what I am in the mood for.
I will check back later,
Lori:)
 
I was wrong, I took a nap:) And I just got up again.I hope in my second life I come back as a CAT! I could nap all day.
Work was o.k today but my eating as been awful! If I have to many days like this,I will gain my weight back in no time.Last night I was picking at some chips (alot of picking)I felt really blah when I went to bed but when I got up today I weighed the same.Today I was really hungry at dinner time and while dinner was cooking, I got in to more chips! I knew I shouldn't have picked them up.Now I feel bloated and blah again.I hope its just my bodies way of craving the things it didn't want last week and it won't last long.
But I am going to get myself back with a long run and CTX UB.I have to put my daughter to bed in a little while and then I will get on the treadmill.
My legs are really sore from PLB.And I didn't even do it all! And there is no doubt that I will be sore from CTX UB tomorrow,that one always gets me.
There was a lady at the salon today and she asked me if I had lost weight.She told me that I couldn't afford to lose weight and that I looked like a 12 yr old girl.I thought it was amusing but not the truth at the sametime.Some older people like to see the younger ones with a little meat on their bones.What a difference 5 lbs makes.
I will check back after my run,
Lori:)
 
No time for a workout today; eating not so great but don't think I went over points for the day. Weigh in tomorrow and I'm psyching myself up for having gained since i've had more cravings this week. i did somehow manage to get over 30 AP this week, So I have something to be proud of even if i gain.

Let you know how it goes tomorrow! I'm starting to hate Wednesdays!
 
Hi everybody, I am up for the challenge of working out on Christmas Eve morning, but unfortunately not Christmas morning because I have 2 little kids and you know how that goes. I am spending time with them and my Dh, then going for the big gorge fest at the inlaws.

I had ice cream today and mashed potatoes with gravy, and some other junk. I didn't get any sleep last night. I only power walked 3 miles yesterday. I didn't do the PUB or run today. It is cold here and my mom (running partner) is a wimp about the cold weather. So I didn't go either.

I am so tired. I just got done watching Mystic River with DH. I am going to bed. Tomorrow will be a better day.

I would like to be 6 pounds lighter than I am right now on Christmas morning. Let's see if I can do it!

Have a great night,
Lori
 
Hi Ladies,
I can probably manage to workout chrsitmas morning more so then christmas eve.On chrsitmas eve I have to work until 1 and later in the day we will go to my in-laws for dinner.Chrsitmas day we get up super early and the afternoon just seems to be a time to sleep or relax, so I could get a workout in ,no sweat.(no pun intended!)
Lori-Its a good thing that your mother and I aren't running partners.I just need the smallest excuse not to go outside.Its to hot,to cold,to windy...raining...you name it, I'll come up with lots of reasons why we can't go.Those are the days when I would rather do a Cathe workout.
Last night I did do a long run.It was 8 miles! I probably could have went for longer.The last 2 miles, I would do .10 at 5.6 miles an hour and then .10 at 8.5 miles an hour.It made the 2 miles go by alot faster.Its safe to say I run a 10 min mile(maybe a little less)I don't know if that is good or not.While I was running I was watching the show "the biggest loser".Maybe that made me want to run more.Its a reality show,where people are losing weight.They are doing really good to.
I think it may be harder to keep these lbs off then what I thought.It was all fine and dandy last week when I didn't have a appetite and I wasn't hungry.Now thats all cleared up and everything looks good again.
Today I am going to do some type of step workout.I don't know if it will be circuit or just cardio.I am going to do UB as well, I couldn't fit that in last night.My legs are very sore today.
I will check back later today,
Have a good one,
Lori
:)
Edited to add: even though everyone here is losing weight do any of you guys feel the same? My clothes feel better and people are commenting on it but I feel the same.Is it just mind games? I normally feel like I am on top of the world when I drop a few lbs but this time I feel like I do at 130 lbs.Just checking to see if anyone else feels like this.
 
I really haven't lost any weight. I felt like I did, then once I ate at Thanksgiving, the whole weekend was a disaster. The weight I lost last week was only the weighjt I gained the week before!!!

The scale is my enemy. I don't even know if I will weigh weekly or not. I just know I am going to keep following the program and do the best I can.

Yesterday I did the cardio and leg work from HSTA, and then cardio and leg work from BC. That was one tough workout. Today I think I will do my PHH Ab workout, and then Ultimate Lower Body from Tae Bo.

I have 2 Christmas things this weekend. It is going to be so tough, I am dreading it already.

Hi ladies!

Well, this week I maintained, and I feel totally different about it than last week! I'm so relieved!!! What saved me, you ask? CATHE FRIEDRICH!!! This was a week when I used every single flex points (and probably a few more) and AP point, and I did not gain. Its amazing!!! I ate more crap but got more activity points than ever before.

Lorisax, I had the same thought earlier this week - but I know every time I go away from the scale, I stop making progress and when i weight again, always weigh even more than I thought. And gradually, I'm not as blown away by what I see.

I'm going to focus my energy on more workouts - kickboxing and step, and revisit weights (haven't done any in awhile). If I can save even some AP points from this, its looks like I'll be back on the path to losing steadily. Plus, you know, I am just not going to beat myself up for desiring good food right now. Its the holidays, and I think I'm doing pretty darn well (you ladies are too!) considering that temptations this time of year quadruple. Maybe the goal is to maintain or lose really slowly right now, or just stick with the plan, with the idea that when the holidays are over and you're still on the plan, you'll start to see results faster. I'm hoping so!!

Lorihart, I think its a good sign that you feel the same. Maybe the fact that you don't notice means that your lower weight is a comfortable weight. i know when I'm really aware of having lost, sometimes its an excuse not to care as much about my eating!

i think we're all kicking butt!!!
 
Hi Ladies,
I did C&W today.When I was doing the warm up I was trying to convince myself that I didn't need to do it b/c I had done a long run the night before.I was just so lazy! Once I got into it I was o.k though.
I have been so tired the last week.I am wondering if I don't have a bun in my oven:) My period is soon due so we will see then.We were trying to have baby for a little while but we had to get tested and we found out that it would take a while.DH as a low sperm count.Then the Dr wanted me to give up exercsing.I didn't pick any sense in that, I am not the one with the problem and my periods are normal.So I keep on working out.We are not trying now b/c we knew it was going to be alot of hard work and a lot of testing for DH and I wasn't sure if I wanted to do that to either one of us.And its alot harder when you have your mind set on something.I would be a basket case every month.
I am planning on running tomorrow morning and getting to bed early tonight.I hope your right Lori.I feel the same.At this point I don't think I am going to see any big changes.I am at a normal weight.5'4" and 126 lbs.
I will check back tomorrow.
Good Night,
Lori:)
 
Hi girls,

Well I ashamed to admit that I did not exercise again today. It was my wedding anniversary today. Spent time with my family and then went to movies and dinner tonight. Of course I ate too much. I got some nice compliments from my inlaws tonight (they babysat my boys). Cathe delivers great results!!

I NEED TO START WORKING OUT IN THE MORNING!! I have said this a million times before, but I really gotta do it. With kids, and my busy life there is always stuff getting in the way. I am off to bed so I can work out tomorrow morning. My weigh in for WW is tomorrow also.

Lori
 
Hi Ladies.....The food demon has been so hard to overcome lately!!!!! Yesterday I was so hungry, all day, I could have eaten a horse. I did eat all of my AP's, plus 6 Flex points. I think I am getting my period again. I know I am. I have been getting the thing every 3 weeks for about 3 months now. I do not want to go to the dr. There really is nothing wrong with me, it just keeps coming. I am 41, maybe I am going thru some changes. I am going to do The Viper today, and add on the UB work from HSTA. Have a good day everyone!!!!
Lori

P.S.- Lori Hart, I hope you do have a bum in the oven!!!!
 
Hi Girls,
I had a good night sleep last night.Thank God.We will see how sleepy I get through out the day.I worked early today and I am working until 9 tonight.
I went for a run at 11.It was only 10 kms, but my knee is acting up.I think it was the 8 mile run that I did the night before.
Lori-I use to love working out in the morning but I never felt that I worked out as hard.I didn't have has much time in the morning as I did in the evening.The great thing about it was I had it done for the day.Its just a matter of getting into it.
I will check back later today.Maybe on my dinner vreak.
Lori:)
