Things are a bit nuts here between the EX trying stupid stuff (again) but I am on track with my weight and diet. I have started walking/jogging each morning for about 30 minutes or so. It truly helps with my energy level and attitude. And of course, i am going to LifeTime Fitness most night. Tonight is SPIN and an 30 minute AB class.

Hope that you are well!

Take care and hugs from ATL!

Donna:eek:

Good week with food and wine, no trips to CFA.

I know that you are busy getting everything ready to pack but know that I am excited for you and your family.

Keep up the good fight!

Is anyone else out there :0)

Take care!

Donna

Did great for a few days and then fell off the "wagon" at the Chick fil A drive thru.

Oh well I will get back on the wagon today.

At least I did hot yoga on Monday and Body Pump on Wednesday. And today, Friday I am meeting a friend at the gym to run and lift weights.

Hope that you are doing well!

Take care,

Donna

Hope that you are well! I know that you are getting ready for Disney!!!

Two of three are back from camp, sending my oldest off to college in August.

It's too hot in ATL, don't know why I love hot yoga but hate the outdoors during this time of year. :confused: But the class is so relaxing.

Take care!

Donna

How is everyone else doing?

:D

Donna

I can eat carefully, work out early day and lose 1/2 pounds...

Check in tme for me, I took a 90 minute HOT YOGA class last night. It was awesome and really seemed to help with the muscle fatigue from my other classes. Hope everyone else is doing well!

Take care! :cool:

Donna

Hi there! I had pneni. (I can't spell either :) ) after the birth of my youngest and that is the most wicked thing. Feels like you are drowning.

So glad that you are feeling better.

And congrats on your next cruise, now we both have a new goal to keep in mind.

Glad that we are both back! You were such an inspiration to me last time!

Hugs!

Donna

We have booked another cruise and this time, my sweetie is joining me at the gym and eating healthy!

Hope everyone is group is well!

Take care,

Donna

I'm back. No gain but no loss.

My sweetie is booking us today for the Celebrity Silhoite leaving February 2013....

My oldest finished high school this past Friday..big parties and etc. I am a bit sad but excited for her.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Keep in touch!

Donna

Sorry I haven't been online in while...busy with work and preparation for proms and end of school year.

Hope everyone is doing well and still working their programs.

I am have started back at the gym (very sore today) but in a good place.

Please stay in touch!

Donna

Thanks for your post. I try to track on Spark but I often "blow" my carb count with wine.

Right I am trying to pump back up my work out schedule, just burned out I guess but I am still trying.

Also, my Hubbie to be now wants to book a cruise next February/March and open it up to our entire family..his parents (80's) his sister and brother in law (I will buy the alcohol package to manage her), and his other siblings and who know's.

I think it will be fun but we are all aware of the stress...

Oh well, such a problem to have.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Hugs!

Donna

Yes, wanted to check in....

Donna

You are right...my next event will be daughter's graduation at the end of May. My ex will be there with his "current" and I will need to look "HOT"

Tell me about your LOW CARB diet...are you on a particular one or just counting them each day?

:)

Donna

Welcome back Lady from your cruise!

I need some help getting back on track! The cruise was great as I had something to look forward to/work towards...

Now, I need something else!

Help!

Take care,

Donna

Hi everyone! I am so glad that we are keeping this board up and going despite that some of our cruises have come and gone.

Trying to crank back up my workouts now I finally put away my suit cases...Kickboxing on Sunday, groan and moan on Monday and Tuesday then I did my lifting class yesterday, having trouble typing today :)

I hope that everyone is doing OK...

Please keep posting, you are such an inspiration to me !

Donna

Hi ladies! The cruise was OK but the great news is that I only gained alittle weight....that bad news is that I am too sore to walk from my first "post vacation" workout/kick boxing class from Sunday afternoon.

We made it home late Saturday night and I am planning on the big laundry/unpack moan and groan tonight.

Hope y'all are well!

Wicked day at work today, don't they know that I am recovering?

Donna

Bye y'all! I will "try" to eat carefully and only drink wine and vodka...no frozen drinks.

And I did bring my sneakers for the gym

Hugs!

Donna

Hi Y'all!

Ok, so I am almost ready, my to do list:

Packed (seven pairs of shoes too much ?)

House cleaned (thank God I work from home some days)

Yard cut (nice weather yesterday afternoon)

Groceries purchased (one more run for the house/kids today)

Details for Sitter confirmed

Directions printed

Tickets, passports, etc. ready

Maintenance done (hair, nails, and Brazilian :cool:)

Of course, I have only been to the gym once this week and I have had wine twice this week in the evenings.

Do you ever feel like you need a vacation prior to your vacation :confused:

We leave tomorrow morning at 7 AM to start our drive.

Hugs to all,

Donna

Hi y'all. Things are crazy here but I am almost packed and the house is ready for the kids and sitter.

Managed to get to the gym yesterday night (skipped Monday and Sunday due to muscle and brain fatigue).

Looking forward to my weight class tonight!

Hope everyone is doing well, let's not let life get in the way of taking care of ourselves!

Hugs!

Donna

Yup, we start our drive down to Lauderdale on Friday for cruisin' on Saturday.

You know how it seems like it will never get here and then the week of you would welcome one more day to get everything take care of!

Oh well! Had a great week last with food and fitness. Hit the gym for a double on Saturday and spent Sunday recovering and getting the house and myself ready for the big depature.

Everyone, take care of yourself! I am so excited! and many thanks for sharing this with me and everyone else on our board!

BTW, I am attaching a document that someone else shared on another board, and it's truly helped. I realized last night that I hadn't packed a swimsuit!

The limitations on uploads only allowed me to post a PDF.

Happy Monday!

Donna

2 weeks out.pdf

So glad to "hear" from everyone, I was getting lonely!

Have a great day!

Donna

This Monday when I took the kids, I ordered a chicken soft taco. No sour cream or cheese. For extra kick I ordered a small side of pico.

I would think another great choice would be the chicken soup.

good luck and remember even if you trip into a bowl of chips you can always kick it back on the treadmill the next day!

Ole'

Donna

:cool:

Broke past another "zero" on the scale this morning :D:D:D:D

Just wish I had found this "secret" method in January instead of now but I am losing now so that's all that matters.

Hope everyone is doing well, let's all keep up our great work!

Take care,

Donna

Dear Joly...

PMS is a bitch. I still chuckle about last week's esp of Modern Family with all of the girls and the mom with PMS as the same time.

And see, cause we are now all on this board, we are almost on the same cycle :) actually my happy PMS time was last week and I managed not to gain any weight (normally it's my excuse to eat a small jumbo size bag of Kettle chips with non fat frozen yogurt on the side with WINE to wask down the Midol)...tell yourself 35 days and go try on an outfit for your cruise. YOU CAN DO THIS!

I am down another pound today, did very well at Mexican dinner with the kids last night...

Now Off to GYM!!!

Hugs to y'all!

Donna
