That's awesome! Ido suggest that you do some exercise everyday rather than just 3x. It takes 3500 calories either reduction in caloric intake or thru exercise to lose 1lb. I find it too hard to cut too many calories from my diet or have to keep track of when I have to go to work out. 1/2 of exercise a day is easier on the body. Lactic acid doesn't build up and make you all sore and stiff. Keep us posted on your progress. As for me, I went shopping at Value Village to get some smaller jeans! I don't really want to spend a lot because they aren't going to stay in my closet for too long.

Oh good. I thought it was just us that thought it was muddy. I served it to my family once and noone wanted it because of it. I thought I did something wrong. Those infomercials that add beets to the juice...those people are all yumming over it when I thought it tasted like soil.
I used regular beets tho and not baby ones. We like eating beets tho...roasted with some butter (yum).

Despite all the restaurant food this weekend, I've still lost 2lbs. I went shopping for some better fitting clothes and also some clothing that I want to fit in the next couple of weeks as they are a little small. I only bought 2 items that are a little small and they were from a vintage store. They were 1/2 off so they were $5ea. I'm going to continue shopping vintage until I get to my goal weight. No sense in paying full price for clothing that'll hopefully only last me a few more months

I have been doing pretty good with the exercise. I did a Latin Heat class @ LA Fitness on Friday, I did intervals for 2 miles on Saturday, I walked on Sunday and I did a BodyWorks plus Abs class @ the gym again yesterday. That one was hardcore and I am sore today. I am not sure if I should go ahead and do intervals again today or do nothing, because of the sore-ness. Anyway, I like that I am getting into workout mode again. I feel instatly better after a workout, I like it! I also went shopping this weekend for some slacks and dress pants for work, and was able to get a size 6 which are snug so they should fit even after I lose 5 lbs.
Unfortunately for your poor achy body, you have to work thru the pain to get the lactic acid out of your muscles that is causing the stiff and soreness /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Resting today, will only mean you'll still be sore tomorrow.

Boo! O well, thats all the motivation I need to get on the treadmill. Thanks!
I was SORE from squats for the first few days then it went away and I'm not sore anymore. I do get the occasional stiffness when I'd been laying on the bed watching TV that I have to get up and walk a bit.
If you take a day off, its so much easier to take another day off and another. Many days I think to myself, I have skipped days and its just so much harder to get my ass going again the day after.

made it into the gym today fore trhe first time in a while. Felt good to do a quick bike ride and swim. My boyfriend is very distracted by the DNC which is giving me a lot of time to fill which might be a good thing, lol.

I've been soooo busy with starting the school year, so I haven't been able to hit the gym as much as I wish. A few times a week I take an hour walk in the evening and at least once I have been doing a group session at the gym for around 45 minutes. I don't know if I can continue at this pace though with student teaching and work! I'm hoping that I will lose at least 15 pounds by mid-October. I have been sticking to a strict 1200ish calorie diet and avoiding too many carbs. I eat too much rice/bread on a daily basis so I have just been incorporating more vegetables and fruits instead of heavy carbs and sugar. Since I started in May, I've lost 20 pounds. Slow and steady!
Wow! 15lbs in 6wks is a tall order. That means you'll have to cut 1250 calories from your diet a day to lose 2.5lbs a week either by exercise or food intake. It probably is do-able but you don't want to end up stalling your metabolism by going into starvation mode. Then you just won't lose any weight despite your efforts.

We bought a new treadmill recently (got a really good deal!) so I'll be using that. It's fancy, and if I spend another $100 I can get a little doodad that plugs into it to have more fancy things (more audio workouts, maps, etc).
