Tuesday's Gym is Open--July 11

Ok, first of all girls....look at all the responses to my exercise post from yesterday......................... Can I say....YIPPEEE ?????? Looks like everyone is getting re-motivated or staying right on track....GOOD FOR US I can't say how good it feels to be back exercising everyday. I know, I probably mention it daily, but, hey, I repeat myself I'm a little we all know that by now. Anyway, I'm so proud of everyone. We all seem to have these hectic lives just spinning around us & we're keeping our focus & making time for us. We all know how important that is. The stress level for me has been extremely high & without that release from exercise, I would probably explode ..... So remember, everyone.... here's a new motto for us........."THERE'S ALWAYS 30 MINUTES FOR ME" On the exercise front... Was up bright & early this morning & went for about a 5 mile bike ride. Trying to push myself a little harder to change it up a little. Don't want my body to get used to the same thing every day. Took a different route this morning. So now, I gotta hit the shower, work for a little bit, bring my youngest to the orthodontist to get her appliances on to begin her braces journey (number 3 & done...wooo hooo), then come home & work work work to get more overtime in.... oh on the scale front.... I did get on this morning & of course I'm starting the teeter totter teeter totter, but I felt like I munched all day yesterday & I didn't have a protein drink.... So, ok I saw 100 lb loss yesterday....it'll be back. July 2 189.5 July 3 189.5 July 4 188.5 July 5 186.5 (2.5lbs from 100lbs since surgery) July 6 186.5 July 7 187 July 8 186 yeah July 9 185 July 10 184 July 11 185.5 Have a great day everyone.... ((((HUGS)))) & Tammy

Hey everyone! First, I want to say thank you for the responses and the prayers yesterday for my Pop's friend Bill. As of now he's still in a coma, however we are still praying he'll come out of it. His doctors are being optimistic, which makes us all have hope. Today for excersise - 2 mile walk with DH and that floppy bassett hound of mine. She's such a drama queen, last night she acted like it was just KILLING her to make it the last quarter mile. I mean come on, the dog is all of 8 months old and has more energy than all 4 of my kids put together. She wasn't fooling NOBODY! LOL Tammy, thank you for your daily excersise post and the encouragement you give us all! Connie 269/172 still stuck but still determined!/163 surgeon's goal

Connie No problem...the daily post keeps me going as well. That is so funny with your bassett. Too cute. Just the look on their face makes you think they're exhausted constantly. Keep us posted on Bill's status. We will continue to pray for him You're sooo close to goal...11 lbs WOW..... They say it's the last 15 that's soo hard to lose. Hang in there. It'll happen for you Tammy

Hey Tammy! Today is my yesterday..cuz I workout after work..so Im posting this today and tomorrow I will post for today! 3 days straight! Did you get that? Treadmill - 32 mins- var. speeds & inclines Precor - Stairmaster- 100%handsfree -28mins - this is now my fav thing I was using 3lb handweights on the Precor!! I'm so happy with my progress! Weights - 3sets - 30each- ABS crunch / 3 sets hamstring No Water Action today- no time Oh and when I got home- I fell again- outside the bathroom- and fell forward- and my lower right arm is very sore and hurts. I think its the tendon. Do we have tendons in our lower arms (elbow to wrist)? So now I have double the reasons to hit the sauna and hot tub. Oh and I lost 2.5lbs so far this week- so changing my order in which I workout and also changing which type weights I am using- has also helped..But I am still stuck in the 212s. One day I wanna wake up and just BE. LOL Whatever I am supposed to BE. And then stay there. YA! FAT CHANCE! Hugs, Donna

Donna.... You need to be carefull....falling again You want to be able to & the night away on your birthday...... You're doing so good with your exercise. 2.5 lbs this week???? Great job I know what you're saying to just want to wake up & be where you want to be. Nothings ever easy that's for sure. We'll get there together. Take care of yourself ok Tammy
