Hi Everyone!
No workout for me today. I'm riding with my coworkers tomorrow and wanted to give my body a break (they really push me). We're having chicken for dinner, with veggies. YUM!
Zoe, congrats on weight loss! When I was losing weight I'd try to do an estimate of restaurant cals, and I always guess on the high end, after some internet investigating, to be on the safe side. I don't count calories anymore, unless I feel myself getting out of control with food, but typically I eat 1500 or so a day,
+ two days a week that I splurge at dinner.
Lorelei, J is having teef issues as well, and is finally going to the dentist to see what can be done, so the two of you are in misery together.
Have a great evening all.

PG, thanks so much for that! I had visions of the dentist with his knee on my chest, sweating and redfaced, pulling on my toof with pliers!Date: 8/1/2008 7:50:58 AM

Best wishes to Lorelei and J with their teef! Lorelei, DH had his wisdom teeth out a few years ago and recovered quickly. I stocked up on all this non-chew food but he hardly ate any of it because he healed so quickly. Plus I remember that I went with him to the doctor and had settled in to grade papers, and was literally on paper number two when they said he was finished. I thought it would take much longer!
LOL!!! Come on Skippers on the count of three....You know you want to....Date: 8/1/2008 11:12:00 AM

Hey Dee*Jay, Not all ab machines hit the lower abs (even though most of 'em say they do). All you need for your lower abs is a surface you don't mind laying on. Lay on your back, get those legs straight up in the air, and then lift and lower your bum. As many times as you can stand. Which, if you're like me, won't be 50 times. Hee hee. I don't really trust any ab machine and would rather lay back on one of those inflateable balls and do crunches. The ball does a better job of engaging all parts of yer abs because your core is working hard at keeping you from falling onto the floor. Multitasking, thar.Date: 8/1/2008 2:43:05 PM

Hello all you crazy kids!
I did 1/2 hour on the bike this morning and then 35 mins on the elliptical. I also did 50 reps on the ab machine but I notice I feel it in my upper abs but not my lower abs--am I doing it wrong? (That's always the 64 thousand dollar question with me, isn't it?!)
Hehe! I had one of those rope contraptions years ago which attached to a door knob. Those were supposed to be great for toning the abs, but I thought they were better at causing slipped discs!Date: 8/1/2008 3:04:17 PM

Happy Friday Everyone!
Hope everyone is well! I haven''t been over here for a couple of weeks, because my school load has been HEAVY. It''s starting to lighten up, though---yay! I''ve been doing my treadmill 4 days a week, and trying to eat right--but it''s so hard when I''m studying!
Have a great weekend Healthy Lifestylers!
Morning All,
No ride today, the ladies aren''t going. I''m going tomorrow, with or without them. I''ve really enjoyed this new form of exercise and want to build up my strength/endurance.
Not sure what the plan is for the day. We''re going to the movies tomorrow.
Have a great one!
Okay, so this is frustrating -- the 6 pounds I thought I''d lost has now turned into 4. I KNOW I didn''t gain 2 pounds in just a few day''s time. What gives? I know weight fluctuates, but I was disappointed. I suppose 4 is probably better and healthier over a week and a half (just about 2 weeks now), so I shouldn''t be complaining.
But I am.
I did increase my calories to 1400, but counting exercising (30-45 minutes right now, at a slower pace), I think it equals to about 1200-1300 every day. For example, I did the treadmill for 45 minutes yesterday at the gym (only at 2.3-2.5 mph), and I found out online that that equals about 300 calories. My total calories for the day worked out to 1117. If I didn''t exercise, it would have been 1400.
I know I have to increase my veggie intake. I eat a lot of fruit, especially strawberries right now, but I kow I need to work veggies into my diet more often. Carbs (whole wheat pasta, especially) are a downfall of mine and I know I eat too many carbs.
Rod, I wanted to tell you that you sound like such a sweet person. Since I don''t post or lurk here too often, I know I don''t "know" you very well, like the others here do. But every time I read something you write, I think to myself -- Rod seems so NICE. Just thought I''d tell you that.
Everyone here is so helpful, and I''ll try to keep up with this thread more often. I do enjoy reading how everyone is doing, and it''s nice getting to know others who don''t post often on other boards.
I don't eat them, Rod, I just make them for John! I ate about 1/2" square to taste for doneness, and now I'm done. Take care of that tendon!Date: 8/2/2008 10:20:00 PM

Yummm, to brownies Kimberly! I hope you enjoyed them and then you can have fun burning them off tomorrow on your bike ride!
Zoe, that is probably just a fluctuation, but 4 pounds is STILL MAJOR!!!!!!Rod, I wanted to tell you that you sound like such a sweet person.
