Start: 189 (June 2001)
I did my 12 min test yesterday. Walked a little and jogged a little to warm up and then started jogging as fast as I could. About 4 min into it I slowed a bit and then picked up the pace again the last 3 min. I clocked it (in my car) at 1.3 miles, my best so far in 4 times. For the table I'm using in the old Kenneth Cooper Aerobics book--it's in the "Excellent" category for my age group--woo-hoo! The next one up from that is "Superior." Also my heart rate was 164.
I'm doing a "Kyrin" weekend challenge. My challenge is: At least 100 oz water, 30 min moderate exercise, and 2 fruits/2 veg Daily. For yesterday I drank 96 oz water, 2 fruits/1 veg and completeted the exercise with jogging/walking. Feels good like a jumpstart!
You all have a good day!

Happy V-Day and Friday!
Start: 189 (June 2001)
I didn't get in any exercise these last 2 days. I was really sore from the weights/jog on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday, was just really tired and couldn't see any reason to try to exercise, so I didn't:-)
I guess I'll try to get myself moving today--haven't done a 12 min test in quite a while, so maybe I can get that in.
Hope you have a great day!
I'm curious, ... what's a 12 minute test? I truly do wish I could exercise like you do.But I know what you're saying about getting the feeling or attitude of "I don't see any reason to right now". I'm sure you'll be right back at it today. Have a good day! Baylee
I just started a four-day weekend challenge. Come on, Biscotti. Let's get moving!
Hugs!

Just a quick update!
Baylee on 02/13/2003:
Hi, I can do the exercise tape I use in a way that I don't put as much pressure on the one hip as I normally would and it's a different kind of position to do the job I was doing yesterday. It was stand up, sit down, stand up sit down and lean over and put pressure on the hip while the joint is bent or flexed. That's the most painful of all. When I use it a lot while standing, it is usually LATER that I have pain from it. Anyway, I have an appointment at another big clinic in April to see if they can offer any more hope. There was a bid up at work for second shift and if it's still up today I'm going to sign it. The supervisor on second shift I think is easier to work with than the one on days. And the people are more friendly.
kyrin on 02/13/2003:
Hey, girl! I see that you're still hanging in there with your workouts. Good for you! It's important to rest when your body tells you that it needs to do that. But, yeah, it's time to get up and get moving again.
Tigger on 02/13/2003:
Hey that is okay, we all need a vaction sometimes. Just get back in there soon so it does not become a habit :)
Start: 189 (June 2001)
I did a 42 min jog yesterday. Found a way to go where I backtrack only a little. It's soooo boring to go the same way all the time. This one has quite a few hills, but they are not that difficult. I have a bit of a stiff neck/shoulder today, but I'm gonna try to get in a workout of some kind today.
Hope you have a good afternoon!

My weight is the same this week. On my measurements, they're just about the same; some up, some down; nothing significant either way, darling:-)
Baylee on 02/11/2003:
Thanks for the comments. Yes, I do have a juicer, but I seldom use it. I guess because I'd just as soon eat the fruit or veggie. That recipe sounds good. I'll have to try it one of these days. I like smoothies too. I just wish I could exercise like you can. I'd love to be able to jog, or just a fast walk/run, but this hip is hindering me now. Maybe some day I'll be able to get it fixed. You're doing great! Keep it up! Baylee
Start: 189 (June 2001)
I'm still caffeine-free (cutoff time anywhere between about noonish and 4 p.m.) and it's been too easy once I got over the initial headaches. When I started cutting it out, I was afraid I'd wake up with a headache, but after about 5 or so days, the headaches went away. It just took a leap of faith I wasn't willing to take before. That all or nothing attitude. Gotta drink 50 cups of coffee or zero cups. Not true--I'm fine with 2 cups (maybe three) of coffee. I'm just mentioning it again, because usually by this time I've failed--so it may actually be becoming a way of life:-)
Hope you have a Happy Monday!

Did about 30 min walking on Thursday 2.6, then on Friday 2.7 I did my jog (40 min). Sunday 2.9 was my Circuit Aerobic Workout on the NordicTrack--kicked my tail end!
Tigger on 02/10/2003:
I agree with you on the all or nothing attitude. I used to be like, "well I all ready ate a handful of potato chips so I might as well eat the rest of the bag." Now I can say, "Hmm that was not the best choice, but my next one will be better."
inmorning on 02/10/2003:
That caffeine is a demon isn't it?
Baylee on 02/10/2003:
WoW! Your exercise is looking great! Thanks for your comments. I'm really trying hard to get this weight off and get in better physical condition all the way around. It's a difficult task, isn't it? I gave up coffee too, but for different reasons. I have esophageal reflux. Now I allow myself a cup on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Keep up the great work you're doing. Baylee
breakaway on 02/10/2003:
WOW you are doing terrific on kickin that caffine...I have only had one soda today and that is terrific for me. Usually I have two. I am really proud of you and it is really hard to kick that habit because of those headaches. Glad you made it through the worst part...now its all downhill! Keep up the great work!

I did 41 min/11 mi on the Airdyne--a real workout--not as fun as a jog, but it did kick my butt!
Have a good one, everyone!

I did my 40 min jog yesterday. Still feeling good about the jogging thing. I took my hip and waist measurements--waist is the same and hip is up one-half inch. Still tracking food.
Hope you have a good day!

Hi DD People!
Start: 189 (June 2001)
I haven't taken my measurements lately, but going up on the scale is a bit of a wake-up call anyway. Clothes fit the same, so I'm sure the measurements AREN'T down any. I haven't weighed 170 for quite some time, and I really don't want that for my next weigh-in.
I did my Circuit Aerobic Workout (using the Airdyne) yesterday and did two sets of reps. I've been trying to push myself for it to take less than 45 min. I'm going to try to get this in at least one more time this week.
Hope you all have a nice afternoon/evening!

I'm up a pound on my weigh-in!

wouldn't worry too much about the pound...i know what it's like passing an increment of 10 tho...yikes...sounds like you have a great plan tho...good luck! :D
Start: 189 (June 2001)
I did my 40 min jog yesterday. As it went on I got less winded. Was still a little sore from weights of the other day, but that didn't affect the jog--maybe it helped. I know it helps me in the long run.
Have a good afternoon!

congrats on the 40 min jog...i'm proud that i can jog 1 minute every 5...lol
Lainey on 02/03/2003:
Hi! Thanks for your breakfast suggestion! I've eaten cereal everyday for as long as I can remember, and come to think of it, I've usually been hungry before lunchtime! I think I will try your egg idea next time I go grocery shopping. I guess scrambled eggs (maybe on toast) works the same, right? Thanks again, and good luck! :o)

What a day so far. I'm in North Central Texas and a local weather guy mentioned last night that the space shuttle was going to be flying over at 8:03 a.m. our time. I was up, but had forgotten about it. Then I heard a sonic boom--the breaking of the sound barrier. At least that's what I thought it was. I have heard in recent years that sonic booms are outlawed and probably haven't heard one since I was very young. It was a little after 8 and I thought, "Crap, I missed the shuttle going over!" I had never seen it and have always wanted to take a trip to Florida to watch a launch. I went ahead and went outside. I looked around and saw a vapor trail that was extremely wide.
I was watching C-SPAN and they broke in and had a statement and a picture from Mission Control. It's another horribly sad day that we will all remember with sadness. I heard someone mention that it's a miracle when the shuttle lands safely and without incident. Somehow we will find a way to go forward and look for that miracle in the future.
I also can't help but think about tragedies and violence that happen every day in every other part of the world. This too in the wake of the possibility of the U.S. intending to go it alone against Saddam Hussein. Emotions are high for this possibility alone. We're not alone in sorrow by any stretch of the imagination.
Have a good one--and as PastaGal always says, "Hug your loved ones!" Hugs (((((everyone)))))!

I was online so I decided to go ahead and enter my info for the last couple days.
I was supposed to jog yesterday (Fri), but had done a circuit aerobic workout on Thursday and the soreness from doing the weights was just settling in and I so I'll do it today. I'm tracking my food, but yesterday wasn't too good in that regard. I am still in "caffeine cutoff in early afternoon" mode.

It is sad that the shuttle went down. I know they say it wasn't terrorism so let's hope they are right.
Start: 189 (June 2001)
I'm up a couple pounds on my weigh-in this week--it's kind of frustrating, but I more or less know what to do. The goal of the 28th has passed and I didn't come close. But, I'm making a new goal of 150 by April 8th. This is a plan for losing less than two pounds a week. I've seen others do it on here--PastaGal, Halley, Rader, and Garlic (where are you?), and I'm sure there are others here I've failed to mention--I've seen other success stories around the internet. Why not me--I think I can take a stab at it one more time. With a little more commitment--yes!
I sort of lost track of when I was supposed to be jogging next and went out on Tuesday thinking it was the right day--it was one day too soon, but I didn't realize it until way into the jog. The weather was great that day and was going to get dreary on Wednesday, so I think I kind of got a little bit giddy and lost track. Nevertheless, I felt very good. Then about 30 minutes into it I sort of ran out of gas and stopped jogging and just walked. I caught my breath and went ahead and did the other 10 min.
I couldn't believe that yesterday my legs weren't killing me. I've been so wary of taking it slow so as not to get injured and this was just like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow--haha! I thought I'd probably be limping on Wednesday--I wasn't! I still intend to keep the schedule of skipping 2 days, however. But, it's good to know I can deviate and still make out okay.
Food has been okay. I'm not really trying very hard. I did cut my caffeine much earlier and I seem to have slept better. I have always been one who didn't really think caffeine affected me that much. I guess you can't really tell until you cut down. I even cut it out for a couple weeks--that's all I could stand--several years ago. I simply can't do without at least one cup of coffee, period.
A 20-min walk for my exercise yesterday.
Have a great day!
You can do it.
Just think of other things in your life you have been successful at. You know you have what it takes to do this.
You are doing great on your exercise.
Just keep it up and don't give up!

Tomatoes on a taco, huh? Well, it's the thought that counts. Wasn't there some lettuce and maybe some refried beans on there too? ...We'll get those fruits and veggies into you yet. LOL
You had a good day. Let's go complete day number two!

Hey, Biscotti!
Actually, I have both...but I think the one that we were talking about was the Betty Crocker Cookbook. Now, what were we talking about again? LOL I can see the cookbook in my head in reference to what we were discussing, just can't get it opened up to whatever it was. (gettin' old.)
