Gym Is Open (Wednesday)

Hi guys! Had another quick gym session this morning. I did 15 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes walk around the track. What did you do to move your body today? Lori By the way, my knees hurt...must be the weather.

No short walk for me today, Colorado is looking very much like the North Pole. My sibling is finally in the mood to clean closets, so we'll be doing manual labor most of the day. I'm looking forward to it, I've been ready to get rid of stuff for awhile, and now we can do so! Kix

Kix, With your weather, I'm so glad to be home and wasn't caught in it! I hope you enjoyed cleaning closets. It is always so much work, but, so liberating!!!! Lori

Well started out with my elliptical 35 then hit the weights for 20 min and then back to elliptical trainer. I am thinking about increasing the days to 5 per week I want to see better results on the scale. I have increased my protien drinks to 2 per day which gives me about 54 grams of protien and then with my jerky and meals I should be well into where I should be so we will see if it works in Monday weigh in. Well thats all for now. Hey, Kix i just cleaned out my closet this past weekend got rid of about 5 bags of clothes. Have fun i have went from a size 34 to a 26 and some 24 depends how they are made I have even put on a size 2x from a 5x. Talk to ya soon Lorraine

Lorraine, 5 days a week works best for me. I add in a 6th day when I can, but, 5 seems to be the minimum to keep me fit. You are doing so great! Lori

Thanks Lori, I think I need to increase it because the weight just isn't coming off as fast as I would like. I am only losing around 10 pounds per month. My doctor said it good to no lose it fast so that it stays off, but I want it to come off. So I am going to change my way of thinking I only want to be healthy is going to be my new focus. I will be 8 months out next month and I am only down around 119 which for a person of my size it really not that much weightloss but I am working on it I am now down to 336 from 455 which is good but I know I can do better. I have made some changes let me know what you thing I have a double shot of protien in the moring for breakfast with my coffee that 54 grams of protien this keep me full for the better part of the morning I can't eat any thing until around 11:30am by that time I am hungry. Then I have some protien and maybe a little carbs for energy because of all of the exercise i do your body needs some carbs today I burned up over 1000 calories at the gym. Then I have an afternoon snack some almonds or a couple of piece of jerky and then it home for diner with protien and veggies and then a evening snack either popcorn or soy crisp or whatever I have a taste for. I just want to make sure I am doing right. I make sure that I drink atleast 64 oz of water per day now this isn't counting everything else I drink either. Well Lori this is me in a nut shell tell me what you thing maybe I need to change something to get to losing again. Lorraine.

Lorraine, 10 lbs a month sounds good to me. I do wonder, though, if you are eating enough? Our bodies do slow down if it feels too taxed. Have you met with a dietician? You really are doing great!!!! Lori

I did my 40 minutes of aerobics this morning, but nothing else. I had to run out the door to work before this blizzard got any worse. I made it home just in time to see it get really crazy out there! I did notice something fun today as I was stretching - I could actually feel my bone on my leg! Well, I think it was my bone, it might of been muscle. But it was so cool to be able to feel an actual leg under all that fat! Until tomorrow, when I will probably be shoveling for many hours, trying to get out of my house. That should be good exercise!

Good for you PJ. I so know the joys of feeling bones again! Sometimes I just marvel at it! Lori
