Where's my Foxy Zumba buddy??
I'm hitting today's 4:30 class...you with me? ;) |
Hey Sexy Just Graduated Funky Zumba Femme Crush....
I hit Zumba Monday and Thursday... but I will go with ya today. I am so totally sore that this would be THE BESTEST EVER THING FOR ME!!! And then you will have to come to yoga with me. And you and I can giggle at our sore asses *trying* to get into down dog. But you would have been proud of me, or disgusted with me, when I did the splits in gay yoga wednesday. And this little reply is a LONG TIME COMING... but you sent that super funny zumba video with the little lady in the back row (you compared yourself to her) and I was wondering... if she knew she would be watched over 2 MILLION times would she have gone to zumba that day!! Makes me laugh every time I think of it!!! So... sexy just graduated funky zumba sexy as hell femme crush... shall I swing by and pick you up, or just smile knowingly in class at you?? :sunglass: |
How 'bout *I* scoop *you* up and then we sit on opposite ends of the room and try not to bump booty's during class! ;) :sunglass:
And FYI...my arms are STILL sore from Wednesday's yoga class!!! |

Glad to hear I am NOT the only one with sore arms from Wednesday's class. :praying: Good grief. And then we had to hold the warrior one for 2 min. WTF??? |
Quote:
W1 (and many other standing asanas) seem relatively simple until you have to hold them for forever and a day. That's when I start trembling from head to toe! :praying: |
Well, I got nuttin today.... Tomorrow I train with the Russian for the first time... Everybody keep on truckin!! :cowboy: |
I'm actually pretty impressed with myself that I haven't needed the gym to lose these 15 lbs that I've lost but I'll be back there in a few days to stay on track :)

Good Morning my friends!!! I am up and enjoying a oat pancake, and good ol community coffee.
Its been a good week. I have lost a couple of pounds, had some intense workouts. I think I am getting back on track. This is the 1st weekend I have been at home in 3 weeks, so I am happy. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!!! |
Quote:
Hang tough Unka Jo!!!! Have a great weekend!! |
Staying on track but i don't feel like anything is moving, i'm hanging in there though!
|
And so....the Russian and I had a session at the ungodly hour of 6 am yesterday morning...... I feel like I could use my hamstrings for guitar strings.... But he also spent a good 45 minutes debunking the hCG diet - telling me that I was starving myself..... *shaking head*......I dunno what to do now, but I did buy some almond milk yesterday and will probably get some protein powder for shakes later today..... All I do know is that every pair of pants I own are too big for me now and I am wearing shirts that I thought I would never wear again..... And that I am sooooooooooo close to being "20-something...... To everyone, keep on trucking! You all are an inspiration to me in your dedication and diligence in bettering your lives.... :cowboy: |
I love reading how everyone is changing their lives for the better ~ I'm proud to be part of this group of people who are so inspirational and open and honest :)

Jo, that is amazing. CONGRATUFUCKINLATIONS, it is not easy and you are doing it... it must feel amazing to have your clothes falling off !! :| i too was told i was eating too little a while back... i was sitting at 1000 calories a day. i am doing WW now and not happy that i really don't know how many calories i'm having and tracking points and calories is just too much tracking. i was good all week so we will see tomorrow. |
This may not be the best place to put this but I posted about me being in the senor Olympics pool tournament today.I did play,won a silver medal,it took the reining champion to win it.We both have desided to go to state and compeat there.
I just know I need to really get on the wagone and shed more chub.I had to go up 3 flights of staires wich near killed me,then my asthma hit in the 90* room ( no a.c.)I managed.I played.I did well,was and is good. |
This video is about so much more than weight loss, but I thought I'd post it here for inspiration and to show the power of the human spirit:

Now that is an incredible testimonial to the human spirit! I will take this in my heart and head as I continue my journey. Thanks!! :cowboy: |

There were several older folks who,if I hadnt brought a small insulated bag of ice water bottles would have been in a fix cause they didnt have any refreshments at all past coffee,I defanitely share the water to any one who needed it...i'm glad they had paper cups at least.The people who put this event on ask if I would be willing to head it up for next year and I said I would.You can bet it will be in a pool hall with lots of refreshments to the people who want it and no stairs. |
My human spirit is sagging here this afternoon..... I ache in places I didn't know I have places to ache! Al the Russian just called me and said he expected me to be in tomorrow morning at 6 am..... Crap!! Why did I give that man my number??? But I do have to report that almond milk really tastes good to me.....I am waffling between the Russian's diet and the hCG diet requirements. He makes sense to me....the doctor also makes sense to me...... Confusion reigns in my life this afternoon...... :mohawk: |
i love the Almond Chocolate milk!
|
I LOVE the chocolate Almond milk too! It is beyond yummy...

I was just wondering what was going to make me cry first thing this morning!! That was beautiful, Jo and HSIN. Thank you for sharing! |
The perfect analogy for weight loss just hit this morning..... I stopped at the grocery store this morning on the way home from the gym. I got a few veggies, and some kitty litter...in the 20 lb box.......LIGHT BULB! I have lost a little less than 2.5 boxes of kitty litter since Feb 2! Keep on trucking y'all..... Keep on getting right back up if you fall...... :cowboy: |
I love measuring weight loss in everyday items. I've always used 5 pound sacks of potatoes as a good judge. When I start feeling down that I've only lost 30 pounds, I make myself try to pick up SIX bags at one time :) Talk about putting things into perspective!
I know it's been awhile since I've posted in here, but I have been keeping up with all your progress & accomplishments every single day. Sometimes I don't feel as though I have much to report back to y'all. We are still trying to get things organized with the new house and trying to get back to some kind of normalcy after D's mom's death. But, we are making healthy eating choices & trying to move our bodies more... so no gains are happening. For right now, I'll take the standstill over a gain anyday. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for posting every day and continuing to be motivation and encouragement to everyone! Y'all rock and I'm so very proud of y'all :) Even though we are all at different points in our healthy living journey, I love the fact that we can inspire one another without shaming or comparing our losses with anyone elses. |
It's been a while for me too!
I have my ups and downs - literally - seeming that I lose and gain the same 4 pounds over and over for the last few months. This is mostly because I completely stopped tracking my food and started going out to eat again with reckless abandon. I had to do a checkin with myself after the big Austin party because we were talking about Reunion and I remembered that I had set a goal for myself to be in a certain dress by then. I really want to make that goal, not only because it will mean another 30 pounds lost but because I am REALLY cheap and want to be able to do Reunion without having to buy anything. I am back in the gym too and loving it. The other night I did 45 solid minutes on the treadmill ( I call him "treddy") and a shitload of reps on the arms and back. I tend to do a bunch of leg-involved cardio and then hit the weight rack for my arms. My thighs seem to be getting smaller but I can't WAIT for my "pouch" to start slimming down, it's the main inhibitor to a smaller size right now! WEE for everyone in the thread! |
Since we are in the "its been a while" moment.. I thought I'd fall in with my update.. since its been some time since I have posted anything.
Last year, just after the reunion I moved and it was diffcult to stay on track with things. Prior to moving, alot of my exercise was riding my bike to and from school 4 days a week. It was an easy way to fit exercising into my already busy schedule. Since I moved, I live to far to ride my bike to school and totally fell off the exercise wagon. Also, I totally put counting daily intake into the non-priority box of my mind. Although I haven't gained any weight, I am still where I have been since the reunion last year. Now that school has let up with just a single class left, I am determined to get back on track with losing another 30 lbs. I did a five mile work out today and have been eating right/watching my intake. The final challenge of my determination is when I am with my girlfriend.. girl can eat which is bad for me, because I love to eat also! We are going on vacation this week and I will not let myself down!! I am making it my goal to have nothing but good to report back to y'all !! :cheerleader: |
UGH
only down 2 pounds this week.
Not happy with myself right now. :( |

I'm mad because I made a couple of dumb choices over the weekend... I think stepping up the exercise has made me extra hungry, and I need to learn to deal with that differently!

I still check the scale, but I can tell I'm building muscle and things are rearranging. Have you measured yourself lately? How are the clothes fitting? |
Boy oh boy..I have spent the last 45 minits dealing with the medicare/Humana office getting my silver sneakers gym stuff fixed so I could go work out.Medacare said it would come with the plan but no it didnt I had to change my program to get it but I now have everything worked out includeing meds as well as co pays and such.Anyone who is fixing to get into medacare or any plan make shure you talke to the right people or you will be in a fix..im glad I finaly got it right so starting june 1 I can start back in the gym,so glad to hear that.I ended up going on the Humana Gold plan if anyone is intrested.
