Walked without "purple twinkie one"

Sonya (aka Purple twinkie one) has left on her women's retreat with her church and I was concerned I wouldn't walk without her, BUT I DID!!! I roped another friend into walking with me and we walked 3 miles last night and tonight!!! Did I mention that this friend has LONG legs and has been walking every day since February?!!! You should see me trying to keep up with her with my little fat legs I didn't do too good on my eating the last two days! I've been very hungry in the mornings and been eating multiple snack bars. AND I've had 2 diet cokes this week (coralation?!!) I'm trying to "detox" this weekend (no diet coke) and do better with my eating! I'm still not doing good with keeping up with calories. I do keep up with how much protein I get and making sure I drink at least 64oz of water. Tomorrow is another day!!

WoooHooo At least your still trying !!! And that is great. Keep up the great work. Tell Ms. Long Legs to slow down a little for you. I'm sure she would understand. Us short people (5' 3" myself) need to stick together Hang in There Ms Thang !!! Tammy

I'm definitely telling "long legs" that we need to slow down! I got down in my back this weekend from trying to keep up with her (I have 3 buldging disk and my back "goes out" (I don't know where ****asionally. So I had to take muscle relaxers and stay on the couch Saturday and Sunday (That's why I haven't posted since Friday ) I am feeling better today (I'm at work), and I plan to walk tonight just a LOT slower! I'm wearing a "new" old pair of pants!! I bought these black pants with beautiful designs on it in the front in orange, tan and red, and they didn't fit. I put them in my closet anyway so I could shrink into them and I DID!!! Thank you for the encouraging words my short bud! JY

Aw I'm sorry that you have been down all weekend !!! Bless your Heart. My hubby has that same problem with his back. Like you, I haven't a clue where it goes when it goes out Must be a nice place tho cause it does it often Oh well... You get better & keep walking at your own pace !!! Tammy

You are doing EXCELLENT!!! Occasionally we all mess up, but you have the right attitude - tomorrow IS another day! The last couple of days I have not eaten, but snacked off and on most of the day.....I know it's cause Jon went back to school yesterday, but I am gonna drink, drink, drink and stay full of liquids so I won't snack! Smoochies Arlies

I know what you mean about snacking all day! I did that part of Saturday and most of Sunday (BAD BAD ) I was down in my back and depressed b/c I couldn't excersize. BUT Today I am going to drink, drink, drink! Thanks for being such a sweetie! JY

Good for you for finding a substitute partner while Sonya was away. Keep up the good work! I too, had to decide whether to go without my partner or not, and I did, I went to the gym by myself to do Step aerobics yesterday. Then when I got home, my neighbor came out and talked to me, and she now wants to go with me on Monday. So I have another partner to go with. I learned yesterday that I can do it by myself, I don't have to have someone push me to go like I thought I did. I came home from work early, took a short nap, cause I have been pushing myself pretty hard this week, and my husband came home and said Rhonda, It's almost 4:30 are you going to the gym? And at first I said No, I am too tired, and then I kept thinking about it and got up and went. I was very proud of myself for doing that! I have been sore every day this week, but I have been to the gym 3 times and walked/jogged in my neighborhood one night, so that is 4 out of 5 nights that I exercised! That has NEVER happened! Well, off to the mall I go, I have to find myself a new "formal" dress for my Captains night on the cruise that we are going on first of Sept. Keep up the good work, we are all rooting for you! Rhonda

WW!!! Great job girl!! Isn't it awesome that now your family looks at you and wonders what is wrong when you DON'T excersize?!! Go Rhonda, Go Rhonda, It's your birthday!!!

Joy, That is great that you are walking with or without a friend. Although I know having someone to answer to makes it easier. I don't have anyone to answer too and I don't excerise I know I have got to start to keep loosing it is just so hard to get in the habit. But I will do it sooner or later. Hopefully sooner. Becky

You've got to answer to me Ms Thang!! You look AWESOME and I know you will feel better if you get out and just walk. You need to take the time to do this for yourself (We all need a little "me" time especially with children!). I'll be expecting a post from you saying you've started! I'll be walking tonight and check the board before I go to bed! You go girl!!! JY
