The Diminishing Divas Thread - First Diet Coke & Bacardi Is On The House!

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I jogged a full mile today. That is a big deal for me.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I jogged another mile today.

Congratulations, Miss Velvet Dress!


Today, I am going to go to the gym and workout again. Last week, I worked out five days in a row.



I had never done that. My goal is to do it again this week.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I did 2 miles today on the treadmill. No jogging today, just walking. My knees are a little tender from two days of jogging and I do not want to run the risk of hurting them again.

I feel really good.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Yay!

I am going to workout tonight after not doing so last night.

 

[starsgoblue]

I need to make up too...I was too keyed up last night bout ticket stuff... Think I burned calories with the adrenaline and stress....

[fah]

I am going to Curves as soon as Mr fah gets home

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

2.5 miles on the treadmill today and 230 situps.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I have lost 1 pound since this thread started.

 

[lauren430]

awesome everyone! Iris are you taking calcium supplements? That is very important when you are running

Don't want to end up with shin splints/stress fractures .....

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I drink loads of milk daily.

I am not running much, because of my knees I can't. I am doing a lot of walking and when my knees are not hurting I will jog. Thankfully I have never had shin splints. As a runner when I was growing up my only problem as it is right now, were my knees.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I think I'm losing inches more than pounds, which is awesome, too. Iris.

I went out tonight and had nothing but diet cokes and bacardis.

 

[arw]

I think I'm losing inches more than pounds

me too even though I don't know how since I feel like I've been eating like crap lately! The scale still says about the same thing it's said for a year but I tried on all of my summer clothes the other night and a lot of stuff is way too big!

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Tonight:

2.75 miles and 336 calories burned on the treadmill.

130 situps.

 

[fah]

I went to Curves today but I've been eating Jaffa cakes

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I ate like crap today.


But last night when I was out at the bar I had diet cokes and bacardis (I think I already mentioned that.)

It's not about being anorexic for me - it's about being toned and in shape. People prefer different things for their bodies, that's all.

I do weight training 2-3 times a week. I cannot tell you how essential this is to both losing weight and toning and tightening your body. Your posture improves, your strength increases, and so does your resting metabolic rate. Muscle burns more calories than fat, and if you really want to lose weight, you have to start getting into weights as well as doing the cardio.

 

[starsgoblue]

with the weight training It really makes a huge difference.

For my personal milestone: Yay for muscle memory. Until two weeks ago, I hadn't picked up a weight in years. Already I'm feeling stronger and have been able to increase my free weights. I've been doing a circuit training program.

I will be behaving VERY badly today.

Breakfast is classic kegs-n-eggs fare (waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, etc.), followed by a full day of beer after beer after beer.

Awwwwwww yeah.

(I'm gonna pay tomorrow, I know!)

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Today:
2.75 miles and 130 situps.

 

[fah]

I went to Curves before I went to work this morning

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Today I'm going for a nice long walk.


I've got to be better about the eating. I went to dinner Friday night, had lunch out yesterday and split a bottle of wine with my friend last night.

*gets back on wagon today*

 

[lauren430]

Keep up the good work girls

I have been doing a lot of strength training for my arms and back and I cannot wait until it's officially tank top season

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I did 50 mins on the balance ball today. That was a hard workout. But did it. I have a long way to go but I am seeing a difference in my body, how I feel and how my clothes are fitting.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

2 miles today.

Yesterday 3 miles and 50 mins on the balance ball.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I've been better with the eating, but I just had two mini brownies. I can't keep doing that!

Anyway, I'm off to do my strength training. A few people at work commented on how good I looked today, so I must be doing something right.


I'm afraid of the balance ball, Iris. Are there any dvds you'd recommend to use with it?

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

April this is the one I am using right now, it is good.

 

[lauren430]

I am home now and getting comments that people are worried because I've gotten really thin.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

April this is the one I am using right now, it is good.

Excellent! Will look for it.
