Carrie? How's the swimming?

Kat? Any progress yet? Did you end up trying anything new or just keeping at it?

Everyone check in - I hope everyone else is doing well!!

Well, I am pretty sure I haven't made any progress.

Buuuut, we are moving next weekend. So, next Monday, I am marching down to Lifetime Fitness and signing up for a gym membership. I cannot wait to get back into step aerobics. I get a personal trainer for Christmas.

It's going ok. I pulled a muscle in my hip and haven't been able to run for almost 2 weeks. I am going to the chiro as soon as I can get an appt. I saw at PT at my gym for an injury check and she confirmed it's muscular, not a joint or my back or anything, so that's something at least.

But it sucks. I count on the running to keep the weight off. I still walk, but I feel derailed. That, coupled with my birthday last week and my GF visiting this week and all the eating out, I just feel like a slug.

Awesome, Kim! I did that last year and it TOTALLY jump started my fitness kick.

I'm swimming at least 3 times a week. I am glad to be working out. I am not nearly as fit as a used to be though.
I haven't lost a pound though. That has been frustrating. I need to stay on track with my eating and working out. My goal is to be down a jean size by Oct 9th. I've got a month to accomplish that.

I'm down a total of 6. But those 6 happened in the first 2 weeks! I've also had an injury that keeps me down. I was this close to quitting WW because it just wasn't working for me and I went to a meeting. Came away with "I can do this". I've written every morsel down since and it's helping. I'm seeing a new number on the scale! Of course it means I get one less point, but hey! So without working out I'm still at it and I weigh in tonight. I SO want to report a loss, I can taste it. DH is still very supportive - wouldn't let me quit and said I looked better in clothes no matter what the number is. And I do feel better in clothes. I can just pick out something and wear it.
Whew, that's my long winded check in.

PS: Carrie, I'm jealous, I want to be swimming with you. I swam some over the summer and worked up to 4 flipturns!

Well, thanks to the surgery I am still only two pounds from my goal most days but I have seen that fluctuate up four pounds and back down again. Sucks. I haven't started working out again yet. I really need to my tummy is still sore if I use it wrong so I am hesitant. I try really hard to start out my day eating well but by late after noon and evening is where I lose it. Last night I finished off the day with a beer and a Hersheys bar. I probably won't weigh myself because I'll see the upswing again!

On the good note and bad note...all my clothes fit me horribly. I have one pair of jeans that aren't too big. Most of my tops are too big. Pretty much all my stuff from last fall considering that I had a six month old baby and was BFing, are HUGE. I didn't realize it until I tried to wear some old fall clothes this weekend. I need to go shopping! I am scared to get rid of those clothes at the same time too. A lot of money spent and what if I get fat again?! Sigh. I guess that is like my fear of getting rid of baby stuff. I gotta move forward and motivate myself with the one tight pair of jeans that does fit me. I just can't wear them because they hurt my incisions...Glad it's still hot outside!

I am easing back into running after the vacation hiatus...and I'm confident that the 5k in early October will be a breeze (especially with the emotional adrenaline that will pump me up). I'm restraining from pushing myself too much (which I've done in the past) and my body is thanking me for it...I feel good.

I just realized you may be talking to me and not Kat in NJ .

I'm still plugging away. I slacked a little on Tues and Wed because of a raging headace, and I haven't been good about eating this week. I have upped my water and the scale numbers are not too bad considering. I have a solo run tomorrow morning so I hope to push myself a little more.

I signed up for an aerobics class on Saturday mornings. I'm not happy about the class because of the timing and how it will ruin my day (or so I'm thinking). That will make six days of doing something each week .
