Default Yay post number 2!

Hey everyone! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

I FINALLY got the Ab Lounge set up, as well as bought as The Biggest Loser game for the Kinect and let me say, in the few hours of playing it- it's already kicking my butt! But in a good way =)

The boyfriend loved his BB Gun and fired off a few test rounds in our basement at our old tv box =P
Didn't get around to the Fortune Cookies though but definitely a Christmas idea!

Goals for this week:

Diet and such:
1. Drink 96 oz of Water a day, try for an extra 32-
2. Exercise once a day (at least) with Biggest Loser
3. Workout with the Ab Lounge 10 min a day- add more minutes later
4. Stick to 1,300-1,400 calories per day.
5. Burn more Calories than eaten by at least 1,000 Cal difference

Non diet and such:
1. Buy a scale
2. College and blaah stuff
3. Sort out the room - (iffy)

Hi all,
first, let me say that I love you guys, esp. CJ, almeeker and mern and all of those who read many posts and reply to several people in one go. Even if it is just one sentence, it's great support to see that someone noticed you, read what you had to say and spared a moment to write something nice just for you.

It's Monday and I have this usual world is great feeling. We had a party last night. There's a group of friends who meet at my place every now and then. Last night we had about 10 adults and about 14kids, 5 of them under 2y so it was massive as you can imagine. But it was great fun.

I found a swimming pool that opens on Saturday 6pm-9pm just for women! So I'm going swimming on Saturday, if all goes well. I can't wait I haven't swum for at least 3 years.

New week, new goals:
1) eat under 2000kcal
2) exercise with the help of my new personal trainer (esp. abs)
3) burn between 2500-2700kcal
4) drink more water
5) change my exercise to 4 weekly sessions of 20min bike + 40 min DVD

Muna, it is good to see you post that you're feeling good today. You've had such stress lately, I'm glad you have a bit of a reprieve .

I am going to take a while to think about my goals and try to focus more on my mindset this week, so I'll post later. Stacey, Rose, Muna, and Jess...great lists ("college & blah stuff" - I just love that) and I know y'all will nail this week!

Did OK last week, kept up on the food log, got the taxes done, and yesterday took the DD to her favorite restaurant (Red Lobster, she's loved crab legs since age 3), then Maggie Moo's for ice cream, and Toy Story 3 with Grandma in tow, so that covers "something special for her birthday" I think. I did not exercise, aside from work/housework. So, this week...

1) maintain the log
2) keep up on the forums
3) get off my butt!!

It's above freezing today, hopefully that continues and I can do #3 outside
