I did 50 minutes on the treadmill this morning and climbed over 1,800 feet on the random-hill course. I am almost up to the highest level on the treadmill. Two more to go! I figure I will reach the top level in a few weeks.

I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
I think lots of people feel like that - in fact all the people I know who go to the gym express similar feelings (including me). But it's unfounded, like PTree15 most people just focus on themselves and their work out, paying little attention to others. I certainly don't notice anybody else. If you're not sure what to do, you can always ask the staff who are usually really helpful (in my experience).
I find, like most things I get nervous about, just going for it (even if I'm worried) always helps. Afterwards you'll wonder what you worried about.

Hello Everyone
So jip its August and I am still thinking, how the hell did that happen?
But Spring / Summer is a month away here in Cape Town so better get moving... Dust of that bikini... YIKES...
So I decided too wait with yoga as I am going through so much stuff at the moment and focus more on cardio.
Now the ONLY exercise I love is swimming.. I love being in the water.
So joined the gym again and went swimming on monday.. Was awesome.. Loved it.
Unfortunately ... got a bit of head cold so when that is gone... GO GERMS GO.... will continue swimming... such a good work out and I dont really even see it as exercise...
My eating plan is not very good at the moment, eat way too little for substained energy... sometimes i wonder why can't we live on champagne, chocolate and strawberries?
I must commit to drinking a protein shake a day and too increase my portion sizes.
ITS ON!!!!
Hubby also giving me vitb12 shots every week - great for energy.

i feel a little intimitaded i must admit when i go for a swim and have to share a lane with someone. esp when male and in good fit shape. cause I can swim but still very unfit.. and they turn and just swim so fast and then i gulp and try to stay a float 
Also swim caps dont really bring the best out in you.
I try to avoid eye contact and just do my thing...
Awesome on the swimming, Kasandra.
Hey, RL, sometimes, you have to junk out
. I kind of did that over the weekend. It was fun while it lasted, but I actually didn't feel all that great Monday morning (I think the extra cocktails didn't help, haha). Once in a while, though, it's a good thing. Sometimes, I just want fries or chips .
Today was another good climbing day on the treadmill. Work is super busy right now, so I am hoping to get in all five days. I didn't do weights, though, but I still have a shot at getting two days in. I just love cardio so much more, lol.

Down 0.6 of a pound. I'll take it, considering I had fries twice this week. I took this morning off from working out because I have a 16-18-hour day ahead of me. Ugh, lol. Will definitely be doing something tomorrow.
My goal is to fit into the first stage of my 'goal pants.' (I have a few different sized ones. They're all pants I wore as I slimmed down a few years ago, but then became too small one by one as I gained weight again) I want to wear my size 11 goal pants by the end of this month. At this point I can pull them up, but can't do them up. (hard to believe I used to wear size 5... but I will again someday. Just focus on smaller goals first as I make my way there)
I'm also going to join in on that 30 day ab challenge as well starting tomorrow. (since I'm about to go to work and then it's straight to bed after that)
Lastly, to drink more water. I'm going to start by swapping one of my glasses of apple juice for water per day while at home, and swapping one of my Passion Tea Apple Juices for water while at work. I think all of the apple juice is my main problem slowing me down in the weight department. Even though the stuff I drink has no added sugar, it still has a ton of natural sugars. If that was my main source of natural sugar then no problem, but I also like to eat an apple and a banana per day, and sometimes have a fruit smoothie and those all add up. Especially since I do it every day.
To help maintain this goal I brewed up a pitcher of iced tea. It has no sugar added, so it's essentially just flavored water. So if I can't bring myself to drink plain water, I'll grab a glass of that instead so I won't reach for the juice.

Oasis, those sound like really good goals! Good luck!
I had a night out tonight, but I was quite well behaved - I stuck to vodka-based drinks, drank plenty of water, and according to my fitbit, I walked about 4 miles (in heels) and burned 900 calories when dancing. And, because everyone went to McDonald's afterwards, I didn't even have any post-booze fast food

Mmmm I fancy iced tea, I think I'll make some too
I walked 9 miles the other day... although I was tricked into it but a lake that looked much shorter than it was.

I love rabbits.
I walked a lot more than normal in the last few days, but I also ate a lot more than normal. Hopefully it evens out.

i feel so bumped went for the most amazing swim last monday... just to catch a bug and was so sick for the rest of the week... MAN DOWN CAPTAIN MAN DOWN!!
Was terrible.
I can't say I ate horrible wrong, but then didnt really eat much.
I need someone to tell me to drink a protein shake Everyday, cause always find away around it.
Spring is almost here and I just want to feel good about myself again, fit with energy.
I am cutting back on caffeine....
I just really need to make an effort to eat better and more...
