Morning all. Performed my weekly weighing and I was just slightly down. That's good for 2 reasons: 1) I have maintained the losses of the past two weeks and 2) I was invited out to dinner two days in a row and ate more than I would have otherwise.<br><br>
Last week 211.4 and today 211.2.<br><br>
If I behave this week I would like to see 209.x next Monday. That would be another mental victory to see the number fall below the 210 mark for the first time in perhaps nearly 8 years or so. Still marching towards 190-195 and my goal.<br><br>
Hope you all have success this week in your drive for a better you.

I haven't weighed myself today. Maybe tomorrow. I do know that pilates, while painful, is helping to loose inches. I lost 2 inches in my waist, 1" hips, and 1/2" thighs.

Well, although I waited too late in the day to pop the wine open, I am pleased to announce that since August 29, 2007, I've now lost 21 lbs.<br><br>
Another 9 to go, and I'll be at my "I'm happy" stage. Another 19, and I'll be at a weight I haven't seen since I was 24. Not sure how realistic that one is, but we shall see! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

Way to go, Ailarie!!!! Wow!!<br><br>
Alas, I am up again this week. Not surprising, since I skipped yesterday's workout completely and slogged through Saturday's. Bleh.

Incredible job. <b>Ailarie</b>!!!! Keep up the great work!<br><br>
I'm a total slug. This cold is moving into weeks long now and really getting me down. I haven't been eating as much but I've also been moving a lot less. Frick!

Great job <b>Ailarie!</b><br><br>
Well today being a holiday I cant use the digital scale over at city hall ( which is what I normally weigh myself on Mondays )<br><br>
I got on the scale at home and it showed 206. That puts me down a pound from last week but just 1 lb shy of my goal of 205 for Philly, Ill take it.<br><br>
Im not sure what the next goal is going to be, maybe try to get to 200 by my b-day next month. That actually might not be too hard as I have my jaw surgery on the 12th so I probably wont be eating a whole lot for a while.<br><br>
I have a big goal for next year of getting down to 175. Like <b>Ailarie</b> that would be a weight I havent seen since my mid 20s<br><br><b>Colleen</b> how often do you do Pilates a week?

 

[startingover]

I do Pilates 3x a week. Anymore than that and I wouldn't be able to walk!<br><br><b>Ailarie</b> you are doing such a great job!

 

[Nettie]

Wow <b>Ailaire</b>! That is inspirational! I better get busy!

 

[theia]

That is indeed a good way to burn calories!!!!

 

[Nettie]

you must go...else we will taunt!!!<br><br>
Do some lunges so you can be hurting like me!

 

[Frankie71]

Is that why your butt hurts?

 

[Maples]

bad Frankie <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br>
Speaking of lunges. True and funny story here.<br><br>
In college I went to the gym all the time. Me and the other white boyz wanted to dunk a basketball so we decided to start adding lunges to our workouts. I think we only used the 45 pound bar the first workout. Did like 3 sets or so. Didn't seem like much at all.<br><br>
THE next morning my first sensation of consciousness was feeling pain in my buttocks and surrounding area. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"> And you would know I had a class on the 2nd floor of a building with no elevator. I was like 21 and felt like I was 75 going up and down those stairs. That is my permanent memory of lunges...... those stairs the day after......

 

[Brandy]

SI!
