Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 , It's so good to read your post and to know that you have done the work of analyzing your own specific reasons for wanting success now! You have made some big changes in the month of October. Wait until you add the exercise component... you will not believe how much faster your results will come and how much stronger you will feel. Keep posting. I'm excited for you! Park Check in Hi all - Two days left of the pre BFL phase I had mapped out. In the month of October I lost 10 pounds and out of that more than 2 inches off my waist. As you all know I have been spending the month trying to figure out why I haven't been able to make this program or any program stick for so many years. There is past abuse both as a child and a young wife, booze, not feeling safe - protected. Then this morning the last link in the chain I think - I really never thought or BELIEVED I could do it. As I stood on the scale this morning i realized that I am now at the lowest weight I have been in the last 10 years - 198. I have been here many times during this time period and this morning was an ah ha kind of moment because it crossed my mind that this just might be ME on my way to reaching a goal. When I get to 195 I will start to get into to unfamiliar waters, I might actually have to believe I can do it. After a month of reflection and a tender 'small' beginnings, of turning over rocks, reading, I think the problem was believing that i could make this happen for myself. The only difference in my " program " that will start on the 1st is weight workouts and HIIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 , It sounds like you have done some constructive work over the last month (on top of loosing 10# and 2 " off your waiste! Good for you!) I feel sure that your BFL challenge is going to be successful. Alys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 fabulous check-in, lisa!! thanks for telling us about the jillian michaels dvds. i havent tried them, and dont really have the urge to, especially now that you mention the 'serious plyo'! LOL i think that jillian is a riot on the show, but i dont think i could workout with her. :*carolyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Thanks, Carolyn. I like Jillian too, but those workouts didn't do it for me - although they were kind of fun for a change. I'm physically not ready for the high impact, and for me, they don't really stand alone anyway. I wanted to mention that even though you haven't had time to do many dvd workouts, you certainly have made time for walking - and that week you posted was a great workout week. If I could get myself to do that much walking (especially on those country roads), I'd be in great shape. Good job! Incidentally, I went outside with my HRM on, all ready to rake, and not only could I not find the silly rake, but it started to pour rain! And I forgot to ask the kids where the rake disappeared to...darn. The leaves are just crazy here. in ON -----Original Message----- From: [mailto: ]On Behalf Of Festival City fabulous check-in, lisa!! thanks for telling us about the jillian michaels dvds. i havent tried them, and dont really have the urge to, especially now that you mention the 'serious plyo'!

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 How are your living now Stacie? Are you in the same house? Are and Kira alone? Would love to hear more about you -- it has been waaay tooooo long... I have been very busy -- My Mom a dialysis patient moved in with me and my husband and two grown children two years ago -- she continues to decline and we just put her on dementia meds a couple of months ago -- it is like having a 4 year old back in the house. But at least we all share the burden...

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm so sleepy right now, I stay that way these days. I'm maintaining right now. Trying to do something every day by way of movement but it's too hot outside to deal with any real exercise. Inside it's cooler we have 2 air conditioners and 2 box fans but I'll probably never get an indoor exercise routine going, just not enough privacy. But overall, I'm ok and doing well. Hope everyone had a nice July 4th and is having a great weekend. Stay positive for the week ahead! *~*~*~* "This is no longer about what I HOPE to accomplish.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I feel for you here too. I'm glad with our recent move, we have a 5 bedroom (4 legal LOL) 2 bath house and it's 2 levels (rancher style house) so I have holed up in the lower level, kids and mom bedroom on the upper level. I have enough room I'm toying with buying an exercise bike or elliptical machine. We'll see. At least with the separation I can do my workout videos downstairs with no mouthy teenagers chiming in LOL!! Check In I'm so sleepy right now, I stay that way these days. I'm maintaining right now.
