We had to bring our potted plants inside tonight.

the wifey just takes the towels that get thrown on the hardwood floors and covers the plants...

4 miles on the elliptical. 3rd day in a row, and I felt every stride..

Caught up on Scandal tho!

I didn't do the elliptical today.

I will get back on it tomorrow. Still maintaining though!!

I have a theory, things that we ate all the time our bodies know how to metabolize. I eat potatoes and I don't gain. Granted it is the way the potato is prepared *can't eat potato chips or fries*. Potatoes o'brien, baked, and mashed don't bother me weight wise. Plus they fill me up and stay with me for longer. I keep the skins on so that may make a difference?

Just rambling...

 

[76bridget]

Robin we eat normal things.. Taco salads with doritos, potatoes of all kinds( just avoid frying most of the time), red meat etc. I think a lot of maintaining weight is portion control and keeping fit. Toned muscle burns more at rest.

 

[Bunnykiller]

heres a thought.... really cold water... its 0 calories, its inexpensive ( in most cases) and when consumed in hi quantities it lowers the body temp which in turn causes calories to be burned by trying to maintain normal body temp...
1 liter of cold water at 45F warmed to 98F requires 1200 ( little c) calories

Hey! When you're used to warm weather *as you should know* when the temp gets to where it is going to freeze tonight.... It's cold out there!

It reached 0 Celsius last night! And I use Celsius instead of Fahrenheit because I'm fundamentally opposed to Americans being too stubborn to use the metric system.

I lost 0.4 pounds making my total weight loss 66.4. I'm finally on the other side!!! I ran/walked a total of 6.5 miles last night. My first mile was at 6.5 mph and I did it in 9:14. When I was walking I did 4.5 mph, when I was running I did 6.5 mph. My 10K (6.2 miles) time was 1:06.

 

[76bridget]

Improving RJ.. Great job!

I woke up at 5am for some reason. Gonna layer up and go to the track, 36 degrees and 14mph north wind. Ugh. I don't want to but I need to get it done early today.

 

[*RJ*]

My basement was freezing last night, but I warmed up quickly in just a sports bra and work out capris pants. Got downright sweaty. I'm liking running in the cooler temps. But the wind will be brutal for you Bridget! YIKES! brrrrr

Elliptical finally set up, and we had to cancel our plans due to snow, so I'll have plenty of time for it today. While I'm glad I have the time, I'm really ...... at the weather. 9 days stuck in the house is not good for the mind

 

[76bridget]

Got it done. Ran 3 and walked 1.

 

[Bunnykiller]

if you run fast enuf in the proper direction, the wind = 0 mph

 

[guiltypleasures]

I will take it !!! down to 168.00 !! 1 hour of lifting whole body workout today with a lil side of zumba (30 minutes )

 

[always9988]

Omg I'm more out of shape than I thought. Did a mile in 6.5 minutes. Knees are crying and heart is pounding. Harder than I thought on these bad knees

 

[Bunnykiller]

wait untill tomarrow.... you think the knees are sore now...

 

[always9988]

No kidding. Did another half mile backwards and can't do another minute...

Edit: one problem I had was my shoes kept slipping to the very front of the pedal thing, it was annoying because I kept having to readjust because it made my form uncomfortable. Not sure how to keep that from happening
