I went walking on snowshoes for 40 minutes yesterday (DH wanted to look for more antlers). Up hills and down, across the top of juniper bushes etc. - Phew! I hope I lost an ounce or two.

It's snowing like crazy now, so maybe we'll try x/c skiing today. Difficult to do in forests, with twigs sticking up all over the place.

 

[Tabitha]

I am envious- the kids soooooooooo want to see snow.

 

[Woodi]

.....I got snow pics for you! I'll put some in another thread for ya, and you can at least show them snow on the screen. Or: come visit!

Started back on Weight Watchers this past week. Had tremendous success with them several years ago, but when I quit running I gained it all back. So, as soon as I lose some of the weight I will start running again, but never to the capacity I did before. k

 

[Tabitha]

yea for the water!

I have kept my calories under 1600 everyday but I am not eating enough raw fruits & veggies and I am eating too much sugar. I am only getting about 1/2 the fiber I need to also.

I don't think I am trying very hard...

 

[Guest]

Im doing ok, I just have to even out a snack somewhere.. today I didnt have one cause i was so full from breakfast..

try harder tab!

 

[Guest]

I have lost 4lbs! YES!
I have been really keeping up with this change, and exercise. And I actually feel great...

So great that my co-workers have noticed the change and joined SparkPeople too.

I am on my way!

Oh and Tab.. I am up to 10 glasses of water a day now! Without flavor!

(clap clap)

So, on wednesday some the girls at work put $10.00 in a jar & weighed themselves. The person who losses the most weight by VDay wins the pot. I neede a little push so I joined in. I had lost 3 pounds between Dec 25th & jan 3rd but burned out. I did well on Wed & Thursday & dropped another pound for a total of 4. The only thing about works is that they all have more weight to loss than I do so it will be harder for me to compete. I am still game!
