Did arms yesterday and they are DAMN sore. I look liek a quad trying to type with a stick in my mouth or something. I can barely move my arms.

Where's my damn motrin.

Today were doign abs. Damn my trainer.

Ok....so I think I need to go sit in the corner.


I've done a whole lot of nothing for the GC fitness challenge and it's two weeks in already.


Well....I have done *something* I was entering my meals into the fitday.com account for a little bit. Plus, I was continuing to make an attempt to watch what I eat and what I buy at the store.

Unfortunately, my boyfriend decided that it was a good time to fly in from England on short notice and visit for two weeks. Soooo, inbetween going to SeaWorld twice and the zoo and to see two movies....I've been eating a lot of amusement park food, popcorn, soda and so on. Of course, Neil can't get Mexican food in England so we had to order out for that too. Then Neil, as thoughtful as he is, brought all of my favourite British sweets and snacks that I can't buy here over in his luggage. Of course, we just had to go out to dinner for our traditional meal at an Indian restaurant. I'm sorry, GC weight challenge or not.....you will NOT take away my chicken korma!!!!!! :p


:D Yeah, I'm real proud of myself.


Right....so, as we used to say as kids.... "do over!!"


.....Kelly :)

If you have access to soup cans, water bottles, even gallons of milk, you can do stuff for your arms and whatnot. I think the current issue of Self Magazine has some exercises in them because VH1 did that Rock Bodies special recently. Or splurge and get some free weights.

And then there is my new favorite activity... yoga. It mainly works your core (abs/back) but there is some stuff for the arms too. And there are videos out there that help.

made it back to the gym this morning...now only if I had not had taco bell AND chick-fil-a today!:eek:

I ate really well today, and I'm darn proud of myself for it. :D No workout today, but I think I'm fixing to do some crunches/ab work, maybe some arm work.

Going to the gym tomorrow to lift, maybe run on the treadmill some. We'll see.

My arms are so sore.

Did abs and back with the trainer today. HEs gone for a week so I am just doing cardio for the next week. Maybe some shoulder work.

Ate like shit today tho.

Rice Crispies in Skim Milk. Breakfast

Ham/Turkey slices and 3 taquitos. Lunch

Chicken Breast, corn and lowfat stuffing. Dinner.

I caved and had a small blizzard for desert.

I've eaten good for weeks and thought I deserved to treat myself. I'll do 5 miles at the track tomorrow.

Got down to 129. Six pounds down (I started in May), nine pounds left total, four more for June. I guess 4 is a lot in two weeks, I might only get another 2 or 3.
Not so bad. I'm not eating very well, but I have been going to the gym 3-4 days a week for the past month and a half. That's what's been doing it, I think. The gym.
All hail the gym.

*bump*

So how is everyone coming along? I'm doing well. I lost 2 lbs this week! :)

my fitday journal:


hip: 29 and 3/4 inches

lower thigh: 22 and 1/4 inches (1 inch difference)

waist: 36 (1/4 inch)

I've noticed a change in the fit of my clothes but I havent lost any pounds this week because I haven't been eating the best. But I haven't gained either.

I went on a hike today that on May 16 I couldn't have done because I would have had shin splits and been pooped by the bottom of the first hill. So I'm making major progress.

Today's food:

No breakfast, cause I woke up at 11am.

Lunch: turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread, plus some baby dill pickles.

Snack: banana

Dinner: about 4 oz. lean roast beef, mashed potatoes with a little gravy, some bell pepper strips, an an apricot

Snack: a few pieces of turkey lunch meat, plus a small handful of croutons.

Speaking of croutons! Here's a great tip if you love chips and stuff: eat a handful of croutons instead. A LOT less fat!

Hey all...

Well, it's been one month to the day from having Max and I am officially starting my diet. I gained 85 pounds total. I have already lost 35 pounds (mostly water weight from the preeclampsia and then the baby and all)... I now have 50 pounds to go.
I am supposed to wait another two weeks according to my nutritionist. BUT, my doctor has cleared and encouraged the weight loss program.

Wish me luck! I am going to start walking and swimming since I am banned from high impact exercise b/c of the knee and back. I never knew baby weight would be this hard to lose!
