Reporting in Keeps, Burned another 500 calories on the treadmill. I added some jogging (slow -- 4.5 mph) but it felt good and I want to really start working the aerobic capacity. Also did some good, strenuous incline walking. Plan to try to get there today and tomorrow too.

QB 21 days OMG! OMG! OMG! You have come so far lately, losing weight & getting fit. BMI of 23-I am jealous! (Mine is still around 28 which is way too high, especially with high blood pressure & cholesterol. But we are all magnificent creatures who are improving & blossoming by the day so I will carry on.)

TW you are going to wear that treadmill out! Excellent work.

Glam- have a very well deserved break & enjoy lovely healing sunshine.

Keeps where are you today? Daisy I would love to hear from hear from you. And Tips- come back & say hi please.

Back to homemade pizzas- mine is the very thin slices with only a sprinkle of cheese, lots of roasted veg & a lovely big side salad.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.

Hi Pinksters,

Went shopping today to find some new shorts or work out gear to kayak in tomorrow. All I can say is that I looked in the mirror, then went home.
Why do I look so different in the mirrors in the store than I look at home? Must have something to do with lighting. :no!: :damn:

Back to the elliptical......

Barbara, It's absolutely the lighting. And those mirrors are made to be non-flattering, honest.

Did a short (half hour) workout on the treadmill, but incorporated more jogging. Feels better every day. Sure hope I do wear out that treadmill!
I did manage to get into a pair of walking shorts that haven't fit me well before! Yippee!

Hi All, I've enjoyed reading your great comments and goals! I'm on Day 4 and will be joining you. Ideally I'd like to lose 34 lbs., but for the time being I'm aiming at 14 pounds, and will set another goal then. My mini goal is 7 lbs, which sounds a lot better than 34! Now that I'm back on the wagon, I am looking forward to doing my own routine. My plan:
Stick with my nutritional plan that worked once before
At least 30 min cardio/day, more is a bonus
Weights at least 3x/week
Get to at least one Weight Watchers meeting a week and weigh in (tomorrow!)
Replace vino with mostly water or no/lo-cal bevs
Check in here daily
Go with bike group Tuesdays

I'd like to do a lot more than this, like join the running club and try new classes like Zumba dance. But for now, I know if I do this I'll lose at a steady an reasonable rate. Can't yet run comfortably as there's still too much "front floppage," but that's always been a good activity. 10 more lbs. and I can prolly add that. Happy Sunday all!

Welcome here Crimsons, great bunch of fab women here working on our fitness & waistlines by being AF & getting sweaty. Great goals.

All good here very busy with the kids last week of summer hols. Am sticking to my reduced cal diet- realise I was eating way too much. Not quite down to 1200 cals a day as I was too hungry especially after running, but very healthy. Have lost 2 pounds in the last week so I am on the right track.

Had a lovely family day yesterday with the in-laws. When dinner was being served everyone was having wine I poured my fizzy water quietly & my brother-in-law asked why I wasn't having wine. I just said I wasn't drinking. Another one heard & then the entire lot of them were at me for not drinking- I kept my cool & said I was working on getting really healthy & wine was getting in my way. I said I felt much better, was sleeping better & able to do more exercise. Decided not to mention the fact that I was having a huge battle with AL for 10 years & it was ruining my life- don't want them all talking about my 'drink problem'. They were all a bit defensive & one sis-in-law asked how I could enjoy a meal without it? I just said that if the food tastes nice & I have nice company then I will enjoy it. None of them drink much, they don't even finish a glass with dinner. They really have no idea but I wasn't going to spell it out to them. I remember when a friend stopped drinking years ago that I felt so sorry for her as she 'couldn't' drink anymore because she was addicted to it. So I will leave them in their blissful ignorance- they are lovely people. Later when I refused desert they thought I had really lost the plot! Then one of them said as I was leaving that - I was very determined & strong with my new healthy habits & she envied me!

Have a lovely healthy Monday everyone.

Hi ladies,
Didn't have much time at the gym yesterday, but I did some upper body strength training, six minutes on the elliptical (don't laugh; that elliptical is evil!) and two miles on the stationary bike. Felt good at least getting something in.
Glad you found your way here Crimsons. Keeps's whip keeps us all in line!
