May 21st Exercise Post

Happy Monday everyone! Ugh! I really hate Mondays.... Especially after having such a relaxing weekend! We went down to my daughter's district fastpitch games on Saturday. What a long day! They ended up getting beat so no state for them this year. But I did get in some walking that day, I figured at least 2 miles. And got some sun! My biggest news of the weekend is that I made the CENTURY CLUB! I weighed in at 180 on Sunday morning! I am so excited! I have lost 101lbs! I still can't really believe it! I won't be walking today. It's pouring rain here in Blaine. So I will go tanning instead! But my plan is to walk tomorrow for 3 miles. I have my 9-month check up on Wednesday with my surgeon. I am hoping to hold on to my 101lb loss for my weigh in at the doc's office. Crossing my fingers here! Wish me luck!!! So what are you going to do to move your butts today? I plan on walking around our building as much as I can to get SOME exercise. Remember, it's cumulative so every little bit helps!!! It all adds up to calories burned and fat lost!!! Take care and enjoy your day! Lori 281/180/140 40 lbs to goal!

YIPPPEEEE WAY TO GO LORI!!! You are a centurion!!! Awesome! You gonna go trip the light fantastic to celebrate? That is so cool. I rode my bike to and from school today, for a total of 9 miles. (It seems farther, but it isn't!) My legs and arms are sore, but not too bad. But I do have saddle sores, and that despite having biking underwear (extra padding where you need it!) So tomorrow I can't ride, I need to "heal" a bit. I will try to do every other day this week, and then maybe next week every day! BUt I am feeling very strong right now, and I must admit I like that feeling! Have a great week. Hopefully the weather will improve! Keep up the great exercise everyone! NEVER give up!! Kelly

Thanks Kel! I feel so awesome! And my boss called me a "tiny lil' thing" this morning! Yeah, right, ME tiny?? Not yet but workin on it! You ROCK! 9 stinking miles??? Sheesh! My a$$ would be so sore! Whoo hoo! Lori

Lori!!!! Congratulations my friend. You have been working hard on this goal. You look terrific and must be healthier with all that exercise. I'm so happy for you that you made your goal before you see Dr. Au. That's what I pushed for, too, to be down at least 100 lbs for my appt. and I did it. But don't do what I did after...celebrate by eating! The old habits die hard, sigh! I have had all kinds of excuses and haven't lost anymore weight. I went to a support meeting this week to try to get motivated. I'm still not giving up. I'm telling myself to cut out the junk. I have been exercising 2-3 times a week, but that's not enough. I'm also planning to make a big push this summer when I'm off work. Gym every day, yard work, and better eating habits. I want to lose at least 40 more lbs. so I can't quit now. Take care sweetie, Mari

WOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Congrats, Lori! 101lbs!!! AWESOME!!! I am sooooo happy for you! Nancy
