I swear I will get around to it, even if I have to set up some kind of timer, run, pose, and snap.
It was the kind of fun where you rewind to go back through the routine over and over again because you reached the end of the workout and they didn't go through it near often enough for your liking. I added a good 5 minutes onto the workout just from rewinding to dance through the routine some more! But it means so much to me every single time I hear back from you all, telling me to keep pushing on and offering me advice. Thank you. You guys are amazing.
I think my taste-buds have lost their mind. That, or they're really starting to crave different things more than ever before.
I just completed the most fun dance workout in existence. ... Well, considering I haven't completed every single dance workout in existence, I could be exaggerating a little... but it was a whole lot of fun.
- It offers to let you download it to your computer at cost but you can watch it at full screen from the website for free, which I did because I am a poor person.
Speaking of being poor, I created a fitness wishlist on amazon.com. There are so many things that I want that I can't afford and I found that even just making that wishlist motivated me so much. It's like a shopping high crossed with fitness motivation crossed with not burning a hole in your already empty pocket. Give it a try sometime, but only if you're certain you can resist the temptation to actually buy everything in sight.
I finally measured myself with the measuring tape this morning after a good rummage through the house to locate it. I figure that you all already know my weight so I don't have much to hide (as if you didn't already know I'm large, right?) and I'll post the measurements here every week on Friday when I take them.
Neck- 7 3/8 in
Bicep- 7 3/16 in
chest- 49 1/2 in
Waist- 50 1/2 in
Hips- 55 in
Thigh- 31 in
I want to thank you all so much for being so supportive. I know that when things are rough and frustrating, I whine like a little baby.
i will follow your lead and take mine this weekend, and post them also, try to wear clingy clothes because it is harder to tell differences with baggy stuff.
I just had the weirdest experience... really, it was a "What... was that?" moment. I was eating cottage cheese with blueberry but not really thinking much about it because I was reading something while I was at it. Up until now, cottage cheese has mostly been a "It's not bad and it's healthy" eating experience. All of a sudden, a wave of delight came over me and I thought "Wow, this tastes really... really... REALLY good." It was like honey. Sweet and creamy and... heaven in my mouth, really. Then reality came back to me and I remembered that the sweet, creamy goodness in my mouth was cottage cheese.

That happens to me all the time lately. With oatmeal , salmon, watermelon, natural yogurt with fruit and lots of other things. It ¡s like I'm eating the best food in the world and I crave these things.
Looking forward to seeing those measurements go down.
I used to love ribs but lately the thought of eating them repulses me.
ooo a fitness wishlist! great idea!
i am so happy that you took your measurements
in regards to the pictures, my advice is to take them in the same pose each time, and resist the temptation to suck in hehe...and what i did before was to create a little word document where i had my before and after side by side (i still have the document somewhere) and when i was feeling down, i could actually look at how far i had come. i never posted them online (too shy!) but it was motivating just for me to see it
hehe, that happens to me too
i had bought these Mott Fruitsations things (if you know what those are) about 3 months ago, and i tried one at the time and thought it was disgusting. It was apple pomegranate flavor (basically it is applesauce with different natural flavors in it). Today i was packing my lunch and thought i'd take one, since i'm getting bored of my usual lunch. When i ate it, i thought it was the best thing ever, so delicious and not too sweet (probably why i hated it the first time!).
the thing i love about cottage cheese is that you can make it sweet or savory depending on what you add to it. yum!
I've only actually had it sweet, but how do you make it savory? Is there something that you add to it for that or do you just have it on its own?
Hi Jana....just catching up in your thread.
You mentioned no longer being tired after eating...it just reminded me how tired I used to get after dinner....when I used to lay on the couch nd ignore the kids and wife till I passed out. What a lazy a$$! lol
Now I eat and feel energized...I want to do something.
Thanks for the memory.
As for not losing weight in the past week....Don't worry about it. Weight is only one of the health issues we're trying to correct. I am sure your body is getting healthier. I'll bet you are eating better, and more active...you are happier and more focused...and the list goes on and on...drinking more water, flushing kidneys, healthier skin, so on an so on.
The weight will come off....just don't forget about all the other goodies that go along with this!
Lastly, I have to say...your posts are wonderful. You speak so kindly and warmly that it just paints a perfect picture of how wonderful a person you are!
Keep up the great work!!! And don't fret!!!
Just think of all the precious moments gained back with them. There's so much more to this than just losing weight. I promise you that my scale just likes to make me look foolish. I will try to stop worrying about it so much and just let what happens happen, knowing that what I am doing is good regardless of superficial results like a number. I'm honored that you enjoy reading my journal.I also really regret not taking proper before photos. I rarely allowed anybody to take my photos for years. I let the odd one get taken as I used to think that if anything ever happened to me my family wouldn't even have any recent photos of me.I just wish I had taken the picture about 6 weeks ago when I started. I'm really curious to see if there's a visual difference after 10 lbs lost.
I am out of cottage cheese now and I'm actually sad because I want some right now.
