Luisa, I'm usually a klutz and I can handle 10 in 10. I highly recommend it!

[tinatina]

I'll be doing my first hour of 10/10 probably on wednesday. I will walk tomorrow before DS baseball game. I just finished about 45 min on the treadmill.

[batty]

It is so weird how tom comes to us all.He was here this morning.

to everyone else

[Annie64]

I just got my Callanetics DVD in the mail today (that was really fast)! I plan to start tomorrow. I'm actually watching right now to see what its all about before I actually do it.

[luisafernanda]

Antonya, Dani, thanks so much for the input. I am going to order the 10 in 10 right now!

[tinatina]

Good Morning Beach Babes!

Batty - I need to detox thus the reason for going back to phase 1.5. Good for you for getting back on the treadmill. I always feel better when I do it, I don't know why I stop!

and to the rest of my beach pals! BBL!

menu:
b - 2 eggs
s - 2 T NPB, 6 turkey bites
l - turkey chili
s - cottage cheese w/raspberries
d - 2 sl cheese, apple 2/NPB

I know too much PB but nothing sounded good for dinner last night.

[rainbowlaserdragon]

Well obviously the threatening notes I posted around the scale ....."165lbs or you are flying out that window"...."I will harvest those batteries for a kids toy...don't push me"...worked....I'm 165 today, which is down 3.5 from last week.

Of course threatening the scale brings up the idea that now it's just placating me...but I'll take it

My callanetics DVD will get here Thursday. I was just so darn curious; I had to try.

Tina - I always enjoy your posts. I missed you last week.

[Annie64]

I too finally saw a little loss on the scale this morning! 1.5 lbs down! But BOY OH BOY did I have to WORK to get that off! One more pound and I'll be in the 20's!!!!

Oh, I was going to ask.. how many times a week do they suggest to do that Callanetics dvd? I dont want to overdo it or get bored with it.

WTG on the 20s! As for the callen you can do it every other day. You want to give your muscles a day in between to rest. Maybe just do cardio on opposite days.


I'm not going to get to start my callen tomorrow like I thought. They've rescheduled a baseball game for Wed evening for DS, so as of right now its looking like Thursday will be my first day of callen. I am soooooo thankful that baseball is over at the end of this month!

[Antonya]

Good Morning All!

Yesterday went well, and I only missed my wine a little! I did my second hour of Callan, and I think I'm in love. I may be completely imagining it, but I think my waist is nipped in just a tiny bit... I may post pictures after 10 hours, we'll see. My husband took pictures of me in a bathing suit this past weekend...the rear view was sobering, let me tell you. I hope you all enjoy 10 in 10 as much as I am! I think it's really neat that so many of us are doing it.

Onward! Have a great day, everyone!!

[NenaP]

Hey Girls,


Another crazy day, i have 6 nieces and nephews plus my lil' brother today.... don't get me wrong, i love kids just not a bunch at a time.....

My sis had a bad night so we went and got her three kids this morning, they are thinking about taking her to a hospital in Alabama if she gets any worse, the medication they just put her on has some bad side effects at first but if you can get through them than its great, I'm not thinking she'll be able to come to my party, shes too bad off.

I am super stressed right now with the party, i have had a constant headache for three days and my oldest sisters cat (Himalayan) is staying with us because her a/c is out.. and I'm extremely allergic to cats... my face is swollen and I'm broke out in hives.


Have a good day everybody, speaking of TOM, mine should be here anytime


Nena

Good morning Beachers!!

I'm actually sitting at my car dealership getting my 10K checkup. It's great they have internet access while you wait...

I got up early this morning to get my 5 miles in (3 walking, 2 jogging), so 15 done for the week. I'm a bit weary today because I spent about 2 hours last night dragging junk up from the basement for this garage sale I'm having on the 28th. Too many steps, too many boxes (For 2 people with no kids, we have so much crap in our house, where does it all come from??)

I'm having a tough time with the scale this week, it's just not budging. My weekend weight gain is stubbornly hanging tough. However, I'm going to follow my own advice that I was saying here last week and really up my water intake to see if that makes the difference.

I think the weight loss I saw last week was due to exercising in that outrageous heat we had and losing water weight - but darn it - I saw those numbers on my scale and I'm going to get back there!!

Tina - Great to see you back! Thyroid problems can be very tricky, several people in my family suffer from them. Diagnosis and treatment never seems to be straightforward.

All of you girls (Nena, Rose, Antonya,Dani, etc) and these Callanetics! I'm starting to feel lazy by just doing my walks/jogs. I guess I need to kick it up notch like the rest of you. Now you've pulled in Luisa!

Annie - I am so glad that scale is moving, hang in there!!

Rainbow - You are cracking me up! Scale threats - hey, it seems to be working. Too funny. Great work on the loss.

Batty - I kind of live on Phase 1.5 during the week and only do true Phase 2 on the weekends. (I say Phase 1.5 because I eat carrots occasionally and 1 serving of fruit each day). On weekends, I add in whole grains, wine, etc.

Dani - My ToM has also been coming early, I am wondering if it is my WoE impacting it. I'm not happy about it, I don't need the darn thing visiting me any sooner than necessary

[wiz]

I missed Nena and Antonya...we cross posted.

Hey Nena, I'm really thinking good thoughts for your sister (and you, the allergy thing doesn't sound like fun.) Hang tough

Antonya - I'm telling you, even after dropping 30 lbs - my rear view is just appalling. I have gone to the tankini with a little skirt. No one needs to see the top of my thighs I figure show off the good parts (the halter top cleavage thing ) and camouflage the bad parts!!

later!

[Antonya]

Well, Wiz - Callanetics is supposed to "turn your pear into a sweet little peach" (according to Callan herself). Have you checked out the before/after thread on the exercise board? Yow - that really motivated me!

Join us! DO IT! DO IT!

Yeah, the rearview thing is easy to ignore if you want to...I don't think I'd gotten a good look back there in a long time before this weekend. Bleh.

Nena - Your attitude is amazing! Your poor sis - I hope she gets what she needs soon! Good luck with all your challenges - I'm sure things will improve soon!

[twinmom]

Good morning everyone. Well, it doesn't look like I'm going to meet my goal for this Sat.. I wanted to be 160 on my birthday. At least I'm 20 lbs lighter than I was last year at this time.

I wanted to start callan. a few months ago but I never got motivated to do so. All of you are inspiring me to try it. Now that it's nice outside I was able to take my dog for a walk after the girls went to bed (around 9:00). It's nice to have a big "mean" German Shepard; I'm not scared to walk alone in the dark.

Nena - I hope your sister gets better soon. I wouldn't hesitate to take her to a different hospital. Your health is nothing to gamble with.

Wiz - I just had 2 garage sales myself. I'm not a keeper/collector of things. Once my girls stop playing with a toy or outgrow their clothes I get rid of it. It's kind of funny because they'll look at me & say "Please don't sell this mommy." Good luck with your sale.

Tina - Missed you last week. I thought you left the thread too.

To everyone else, good luck this week.

[tinatina]

you can definately have oopsies on phase I. all they are made of is eggs and cream cheese. I had 2 for breakfast this morning.

[NenaP]

Checking back in again,

Thanks for all the concern They admitted my sister again to the hospital, they are trying to get her into a hospital in Miami, but no word yet.

I Made all the kids help me clean the house and i just got up from a nap with the youngest (15months) I am still exhausted.

I did another hour of callanetics yesterday, i can actually get through all the pelvic rotations and scoops and i do them with really good form now, I can see a major difference and i feel it more,i can tell my stomach is pulling in and my thighs are looking better, i haven't been eating the best though so i know if i can start doing that I'll see faster results, I highly encourage everyone to try it, Its AMAZING

Have a Good Tuesday Afternoon Girls


Nena

[ouizoid]

Nena--I will be thinking about your sister--

And trying Callanetics I think!

The oopsies I make are with FF cream cheese--They are much lower in fat than the regular oopsies but work just as well, especially after being refrigerated for a day--

My oopsies turned out like crap, i gave up on perfecting them....

[lil miss]

missed my snacks and became a ravenous, angry woman. this normal?

just downed some almonds waiting for turkey meatloaf to cook...

[Momangel]

Hi all,

I was having a wonderful OP day till the crap hit the fan at school today! I guess things are bound to happen when you stick 11 women in a small room together 9 hours a day 3 days a week for 6 months. Needless to say lunch wasn't OP, the burger and 2 shots were probably not the best thing I could have had but boy were they good
I write my final tomorrow and will be happy to be done with schooling. Now onto bigger and better things.

Congrats to all who have lost this week.
Everyone posting on Cal has made me want to try it.... hopefully I will order the dvd soon.

Have a great night all.

[luisafernanda]

Quick visit to say I FINALLY hit 30 lbs. lost, total!

Ouis, so sorry about your cat.

Lil miss, if I don't have my snacks, I often eat way too much (and not necessarily good stuff) at the next meal. (And yes, I get cranky, too. )

Nena, you sure have a lot on your plate right now. Hope your sister gets the help she needs, fast!

Wiz, Tina, Debra, Antonya, Rainbow, Twinmom, Annie, Batty, Dani, Bobbi, Rose and anyone I missed

[tinatina]

Good Morning Beachers!

Got a little walk in at lunchtime yesterday and about 20-25 more minutes before DS baseball game. We have another game tonight and one tomorrow night! Then a double header on Saturday. Gonna try to do some walking before tonight and tomorrows games.

Luisa - You rock! WTG on the 30 lbs!

momangel - I hope today is a better day for you!

lil miss - I must must must have my snacks or I to become a ravenous, angry woman, plus it leads me to off plan eating which is not a good thing!

NenaP - I hope your sister is doing better! You are working so hard for your party, ENJOY IT!

ouizoid - I use the reduced fat cream cheese to make the oopsies, I love having egg sandwiches on them.

wiz - I love the tankini w/the little skirt thing, I don't think anyone needs to see the tops of my thighs anyway! You are right about the thyroid thing, I'm ALWAYS in the lab for more bloodwork and it NEVER seems to come back at a normal level.

yesterday's eats
b - 2 eggs, 2 rr, cottage cheese w/red raspberries
s - 2 T NPB, 5 turkey bites
l - taco salad, lettuce, salsa, taco meat, ff cheese, lf sour cream
s - cheese stick, 6 turkey bites.
d - 2 slices cheese, apple/w NPB

Again, I know to much NPB, I was unprepared for the ball game and just ate what was easy when I got home. I'm a little more prepared tonight.

Have a great South Beachy day!
