Well I weighed in this morning at 204.6~
That puts me almost 3 pounds lower than Friday. I am doing the September challenge and would love to get to 200 or below it by my b-day. Which is in 15 days.
It's not totally impossible.
I just need to keep focused.
I'll check in later tonight.
I gotta get heading out the door if I am going to make it to my class on time.
Ciao

I LOVE IT!
It's a good mix with some yoga moves and lots of core exercises.
And of course we really get the ol' heart rate up there too.
My favorite part of the class is when we get to stretch at the end.
Always feels Goooooood!

Yoga, although I should have known, really DOES seem to tone the core. I was always a beginner piddling around, not advancing and only doing it 2xs a week max, but lately I've been trying to do it every day...and my abs actually SEEM more toned, even though I stopped weight training (on accident, not purpose--lack of time, and running too much).
Best wishes to keep off the 3 lbs! i feel ya!!!

Somewhere I posted pics from before I started the class to like 5-6 weeks after.
The difference was huge!!! I'll see if I can find them.
Now if I would have only stuck with the class all summer I can only imagine where I would be.
*sigh*

Ah-ha!!
I found the thread.
http://weight-loss.fitness.com/before-after-between/16887-beginning-now-not-done-yet.html
Go to post #35 I had a side by side of 4 pics done.
The difference between #2 and #3 is only about 7 pounds weight wise. The difference physically was one pants size.
And that was only in like 5-6 weeks.

Whew!
I swear that Kelly is trying to kill us in that class. LOL
I will certainly be feeling it tomorrow for sure.
But it will feel good. And a little discomfort will remind me why I don't want to eat the bad stuff.
Heard from dh this morning. He is off on a bear hunt up in the wilds of Canada.
Guess he had a pretty close call with one Sunday night. Suffice it to say he is making sure to take a shot-gun with him next time. Him and his buddy only had their bows with them. They are lucky that they didn't get seriously hurt.
Well ds has homework that he needs to do on the' puter so I gotta be signing out.
I'll try and check up with everyone tomorrow.

Well you know you should talk to your dh about how this affects you... I don't think it's one bit fair for you to take all of this on.

We have talked about the situation.
And we both have come to the conclusion that she basically needs to
A. either buy a car (which since I don't think she is going to stay she most likely won't)
B. buddy up with some of the old folks at her apartments and ask them for a ride now and then
or
C. use the free transit that they have for Seniors.
Why she never wants to use that free thing I don't know. I can only surmise that she doesn't want to have to wait on a stranger to take her places.
I don't know.
But I will tell you this.
On Sunday at church I cornered both her and my mom. And in quick fashion I asked mom if she would take MIL to her hospital appt that she had on Monday. When mom said yes I turned to MIL and said "That's okay with you right?"
She of course agreed.
She could hardly say no in front of my mom.
'Cuz then mom's feelings would be hurt.
So you know what I did yesterday.
NOTHING!!!!
LOL And it was great!!!

Today is going GREAT!!!
Okay I need to confess a bit.
I think that I may have mentioned how my doctor put me on some anti-depressants. And how I didn't want to take them so I wasn't.
STUPIDEST THING I EVER DID!
Why in the world I would ever want to continue to feel the way that I was I don't know.
I have been taking the meds now for a week and I am really starting to "feel" better.
More energy, more positive.
I haven't binged on anything in at least a week. And since Friday I have lost at least 3 pounds. Weighing in at 204.4~ Last Friday I was 207.6~And even scarier is that I weighed myself one night before I went to bed and I came in at 211.6~
Good thing that was a night time number and not a morning one. Whew!
The loss could be a bit more. As I had to get up at 4am to work at the Y today. So I didn't have very much sleep. I know that had I slept longer I would have seen an even lower # than I did at 4am.
Had a great time at the Y this morning. Helping out a member who "thinks" she needs to lose weight, when in all reality all she needs to do is tone up.
She use to be a bigger girl and still sees herself that way.
I don't think that I have ever seen her lift the weights. She told me that she really wanted to do something about her butt and her abs.
So now I have her doing walking lunges and some ab exercises that you do with a partner.
And you guessed it I am the partner! So now I can actually get a small bit of a workout in while I am at work. As she is there every Tues and Thurs.
She is a really great gal who has such a fear of gaining the weight back that she only eats like 1000-1200 cals a day. And then comes in and runs on the elliptical for like 700 cals.
I told her she really needs to up her cal intake. Told her about Fitday, and The Daily Plate.
I hope she looks them up.
Well I got to go cut up some tom's and bell peppers from my garden. I am planning on making a pico de gallo with them.
And since there are so many it's gonna take me a while. LOL
Catch ya all later.

Awww Shucks!
You sure do know how to make a girl blush. LOL
As for what I am taking it is Wellbutrin. I would like to think that I won't have to take it forever but this is the second time that I have had to deal with by taking meds. The first time was more along the lines of a Post-partum thing but it didn't really hit me until the fall. When the weather changed. And since going thru that bout I can recognize when I am feeling "blue". And usually I can "work" my way out of it. Just this last time I couldn't shake it for nothing. And looking back I can see that I suffered thru it alot when I was younger and didn't know what to look for.
I know this may sound stupid but what is SSRI?

SSRIs: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a class of antidepressants used in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, and some personality disorders. They are also typically effective and used in treating premature ejaculation problems as well as some cases of insomnia.
SSRIs increase the extracellular level of the neurotransmitter serotonin by inhibiting its reuptake into the presynaptic cell, increasing the level of serotonin available to bind to the postsynaptic receptor. They have varying degrees of selectivity for the other monoamine transporters, having little binding affinity for the noradrenaline and dopamine transporters.
The first class of psychotropic drugs to be rationally designed, SSRIs are the most widely prescribed antidepressants in many countries.[1]
Welbutrin is NOT, it is: Bupropion (INN; previously known as amfebutamone,[1] Wellbutrin, Zyban) is an atypical antidepressant that acts as a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor, and nicotinic antagonist.[2][3] Bupropion belongs to the chemical class of aminoketones and is similar in structure to the stimulant cathinone, to the anorectic diethylpropion, and to phenethylamines in general.
Initially researched and marketed as an antidepressant, bupropion was subsequently found to be effective as a smoking cessation aid. In 2007 it was the fourth-most prescribed antidepressant in the United States retail market, with 20.184 million retail prescriptions.[4]
Bupropion lowers seizure threshold and its potential to cause seizures was widely publicized. However, at the recommended dose the risk of seizures is comparable to that observed for other antidepressants. Bupropion is an effective antidepressant on its own but it is particularly popular as an add-on medication in the cases of incomplete response to the first-line SSRI antidepressant. In contrast to many psychiatric drugs, including nearly all antidepressants, bupropion does not cause weight gain or sexual dysfunction.
I'm glad you decided what's best for you. In all honesty, I hope you will be peaceful and happy, and able to get off the drug when you are ready and be great without it. WHEN you feel you are ready, of course

Thanks for all the info. All I knew was that I did not want to gain any weight back. And that is what I told my doc. Glad he listened to me.
Thanks for supporting me in my decision and for the good vibes to be able to get back to healthy.

You're very welcome, and I hope very sincerely that your MIL doesn't stress you out too badly--remember, laying out boundaries isn't rude, it's a good thing for both of you!
