That Bodybugg looks brilliant! I can't afford it right now, but I'm watching a couple on ebay. They only have them in america, so the postage will be quite high tho. I really want one!

Was your heart in Zumba today?

:willy_nilly: I was feeling the rhythm today..shaking and shimming in all my glory..:ack2:

is the UK version....I knew when I was on their my BodyBugg forum..I seen some else say about availability in the UK..It looks identical except the logo they are both made by BodyMedia...and it looks like it offers all the same features...so if and when you buy...it looks like you are getting free shipping.. :hurray: :hurray: haha :)
 
So I am going to walk/jog a sample 5k this morning...wish me luck...I have a marathon runner friend who is so pushing me to get involved in running...what a bad and evil friend... :eek2:

So if I don't make it back...I love you all :grouphug:...and overtherainbow...I bequeath my BodyBugg to you...:svengo:

Happy Happy Friday...yea.... :party: ..no work for 4 days!! :patriot::patriot:
 
Oooo I hate those evil marathon-runner friends... I have two of them, and they'll be the death of me ;)

Hope you survive! hehe
 
..I did it!!!!!!.... and I did it in under ad hour... 54.2 was my time. I jogged probably 1 mile total...hey its a start...for this 37 year old ...195 pound first timer :seeya:
 
Well done! Glad you've still got both your body and your body bugg! I wish I had a exercise mad friend who I could work out with :)

Thanks for that! I'm going to get one in a couple of months after the school holidays, as I am being far too selfish recently with money!

What are you going to get up to in your time off?

I haven't the slightest idea...I researched and it looks like 35 minutes is an attainable time for some one of my skill and age...this is long a long term goal ..I would have no idea how long it will take to get there....but hey I am gonna try!! :hurray:

So tomorrow is my the weight-in I log each week and I am up 2 pounds this morning...ugh....I hope its from the change in exercise and intensity that I have done over the last 3 days....that my muscles are just holding on to every little bit of water to repair...my salt intake has been a little high...but not crazy bad...

I have never had a long plateau only a week at the most...i hope this isn't the start of one...not sure if my resolve and motivation could had that...ok so now i feel stupid for worrying about the possibility of a plateau that I am not even in officially yet...UGH...this weight loss crap is stressful!!!!!

I guess the question of the day is..... to work out or not to work out? I haven't had a rest day since last Sunday...maybe I am due..

Well of to a local lake for the day to snap some pics of my gorgeous niece for senior pictures....wish me luck...my photography hobby is more digital art (my avatar is one of mine) than people..but she is letting me use her as a guinea pig..so heres to a productive and happy Saturday everyone :)
 
heya, I just stopped in to read through your diary as the title caught my eye. First off, you are doing so well!! Its a long term game so keep it up and don't be demotivated by a couple of plateaus or lbs here and there...I promise if you stick to the plan, it all evens out over teh months and you end up looking back and saying yup I did all that!!

I felt exactly the same when I first started - I was like 240lbs and completely and utterly invisible. I was never a slapper, but I was a flirty minx before I put the weight on and it made me realise just how much fun and how much underlying harmless flirtling I used to do in everyday interactions - just thanking the bus driver or asking the dry cleaning guy how quickly he could have my cleaning ready...or if the waiter could find me an extra great table....all that just stops when you are fat - its self-perpetuating, you don't feel like it...and men don't even think of you in that way.

Anyhows, some 60lbs later (and still going...) I have GOT MY MOJO RATTLIN' and the flirting is back on although at 8 years older than before, I do feel a little off my game!! Its nice not being invisible any more.
 
thanks for dropping in jjjay...love your name..my hubbys nick-name is Jay (his is a John) and my oldest sons name is Jay..he gets asked all the time what it is short for..haha...nope just Jay.

I am hoping having a rest day will help and I will see some loss tomorrow or Monday..but your right its about the long haul...not the short trip...I just have to keep on telling my brain that!!

So my niece baled on me...she was out to late last night and her and her boo are headed out for dinner...some anniversary of the first kiss or something...haha..O to be young....so I am gonna veg all day with a book and a bottle of water in my floatie...not a bad Saturday after all!!
 
Hi Tetemcg!
Hate to be a hypocrite, but don't get too worried about the +2 pounds! Haha - I've been plateauing for ages... not that you are! But you are right - you have been exercising a lot and you are probably putting on a lot of muscle, so you will really start to lose like crazy later on!

Hope you had fun at the lake :)
 
That was a great workout you had with your friend!!!
I hoe tommorow you will have a happy scales day!Anyway,whateven happens you are doing so very well so im sure that u dont have to worry
 
So the hubster and I went to a local fair tonite for a bit...on the way home we stopped for gas and some yummys for the starving fellas at home and as we were walking back to the car.....it was smashed in...yep someone hit and ran my car...I love my car....I hate those people for hurting my baby!! No note...no nothing...just a smashed rear end..ugh...every fiber in my body wants to reach for a Hershey Bar...but I came here to vent instead....I think its helping...but boy I sure would like to find them and smash them a bit!! or smash a chocolate bar in my face!!
 
oh no.I msorry for your car.I hope u didnt give in to a chocolate bar!
I have bumped someones car,but i did leave a note.I think if someone doesnt and leaves is just a horrible person.
Is it fixable at least?
 
yes its totally fixable...just sucks that I have to...i really don't want to spend the 500 bucks!! because thats my deductible on my insurance...we thought it was only 100 but thats for comprehension not collision...I didn't collide with any thing why should I have to pay the larger deductible!!! ugh....

I didn't eat the chocolate...lol...that crisics was avoided! haha

I think I am gonna go walk 10 miles to get rid of this stress.....Ok thats not true...more like 2 or 3 but it sounded good..haha.
 
urgh. It really annoys me when people don't live up to their responsibilities - you collide with someone's car, you leave a note with your contact details, its just the decent thing to do. Well done for not running off and eating chocolate though - I'm a sucker for doing that myself!
