Thanks Yarmiah! I think I just like shorter field trips.

I got in 60 min. of exercise between the elliptical and treadmill. I was really sweaty when I finished. However my cals have been high today.

I know what I should be doing, but just didn't. I didn't eat bad stuff (except maybe the burn popcorn that dh wouldn't eat - and he's the one that burnt it! - it was a single serving container, so that's good.)

Anyway, tomorrow's a new day.

Sweating was done early this morning - 30 min. on the elliptical. I exercised before I ate - and since it was early, I figured it would be ok. However, I got lightheaded and dizzy and thought I'd better not get in the resistance workout I was going to do - for my extra 15 min.

Well this week will be hard enough for me to get in any exercise since I'm going on vacation. Of course my sis does have a treadmill - so I should have no excuses!

HI SweatPea,
Just popping in to wish you a great vacation!!! Do your best while away, your team is counting on you!!
Hope you have a great time!!!

Hey girlie!!!
Sure am missing you! Hope your having a great time with "The Baby" LOL
Don't forgot that you can always go for walks. Just pop "The Baby" in a stroller and go for a stroll. Have fun!

We're having a good time. Course the baby is 5 wks old - so still not sleeping thru the night. I think I got barely 5 hrs of sleep total. Oh well...such is life when you haven't seen your sister in yrs!

So the only exercise I got yesterday was at the airport. I will get on the treadmill later (if we don't take a stroll.)

Have a great trip!

HI SweatPea!!
Sounds like you are having a good time!! Enjoy!!
Hajni

Hey don't forget to check in every once in a while. Let us know how cute "the baby" is!
We all miss ya!

Well yesterday I did manage to get on the treadmill - yay! So all is good. I think we have a busy day planned - well as soon as the momma and baby decide it's time to get up.

Awesome job fitting in some exercise!

Okay girl I knos that you should be back by now so I expect to be seeing you cracking the whip. LOL
Glad to have you home.
See ya at class tonight!

HI SweatPea,
Are you back yet?
Missing you girl!!
Hajni

Why yes, I am back!

I got back around 5pm on Wed. Then dh decided to take me out for dinner and we stopped and bought a new tv.

So we didn't get home until after 7pm. I was exhausted and went to bed at 9:45 pm, then didn't wake up until 7:45 am. I guess I just needed some sleep.

Yesterday I was still dragging and so I didn't get any exercise in. This morning I got a call at 7:15 am to come in and sub. I was still sleeping! LOL So I guess exercise was out this morning - hoping to do some this evening. But I am totally bushed and feel like I've been working out all day long!

I did gain 1.5 lbs while on vacation. Hopefully it will be gone by tomorrow's weigh-in. I am kind of disappointed as I haven't lost much at all even during this challenge. And I figure I've been doing well as far as exercise goes. Maybe not so well on the nutrition part (getting in more cals than I should.)

Some days I just want to give it up totally.

Dont let the gain bother ya too bad- after all that's not THAT bad for a week's "vacation". Just get ready to be on the ball again tomorrow.

I know what ya mean- I haven't lost as much as I thought/hoping for, but I did GAIN alot of support. And in the past, I would have gained all I had lost by now and started yo yoing again- so I'm still grateful and in a much better position than I was before joining this challange!

Thanks Yarmiah for the pep talk.
