Comments on: Heading to Work Out http://www.edgren.com/wordpress/2007/10/10/heading-to-work-out/ The musings and ravings of a bloggart family Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:57:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4-alpha-19841 By: Jennifer http://www.edgren.com/wordpress/2007/10/10/heading-to-work-out/#comment-4632 Jennifer Mon, 22 Oct 2007 18:32:40 +0000 http://www.edgren.com/wordpress/2007/10/10/heading-to-work-out/#comment-4632 Oops...one more thing. I know you aren't a morning person, I'm not either, but it feels SO good to get that energy going early. I think it helps me make it through the morning without yawning. Last night, I worked out at 10:30 pm because I hadn't the day before and I was DETERMINED to get it in. Maybe you can blog from afar....you have a wireless keyboard...strap it to your treadmill and blog away! :) Oops…one more thing.

I'm behind in my blog reading. Weights! I have been doing the Walk Away the Pounds for about three weeks now..every day. I get up at 6 or 7 and work out. The kids are usually up and getting ready before I finish and Isaac usually needs his morning hug as I'm listening to, "and kick, and kick, and kick"! :) I started adding 3 pound weights as I work out, just holding them for extra resistance as I walk, and using them on the arm lifts. Sometimes I throw in the 5 pound weights but I have to be more careful with them so I don't injure myself by pushing too hard. Another thing I read somewhere is not to eat anything a couple of hours before heading to bed. If I get the munchies, I eat half of an apple and have a mug of peppermint tea. The pectin in apples is supposed to aid in weight loss and I let the tea steep for at least 15 minutes to get it sweet and strong. Thanks for the tips! Kathy, This is so late!

I'm sure that you feel better when getting fit though. Keep up the good job! You know, you really don’t look like you need to lose weight! I’m sure that you feel better when getting fit though.

My friend Lisa and I try to get to the gym 3 to 4 times a week. It really helps to have someone motivate you to keep on keeping on. You go girl! You look great! I love having a “workout partner”.

Lots of coffee is helpful too (oh, wait, that's just good for waking up - ha). You look great Kathy - the picture reminds me of a handful of pictures of us in high school (one of you and me both dressed in black standing outside of Trinity comes to mind - remember?) Ha. Love you lots!! Jenn and I are moving into our first home next month and we'll be further AWAY from our gym (25 minutes instead of 10), so I'm thinking about a 'home gym' and what that could consist of. Hmm.. anyone have a treadmill they want to donate to the Lose Moore / Gain Moore Gym?? Hot spices are really good for burning calories.

It works in your body the opposite as other fats. Cut white sugar, white flour, add coconut oil, and you'll be well on your way to a healthy lifestyle long AFTER the reunion as well.

I wanted to lose ten, or maybe fifteen, pounds for our reunion, and it's only 2 weeks away!! Can that be right??! So, I don't think 10 or 15 is going to happen. And I went out for Mexican for lunch with my not-weight-conscious husband, so even five pounds may be difficult. At least, I'm feeling heavier right now. But really, is anybody besides us going to be there? Well, okay, probably, and they probably haven't had four or five children, either, but I bet they won't be nearly as beautiful as you anyway. I'm hoping this post will inspire me to ultra goodness until I see you. :-) Oh, Kath–You do look great, and it’s going to be great just to see you!

That's the joy of being the blog owner. :) If I put up a picture of me wearing stripes and not oh, so slimming black or zoomed in a little less artfully on some bulges and pudges, you might understand my workout focus. Ha! Emily - we'll see how I do when I only have 15 pounds left to lose. LOL! You're ahead of me there so don't worry about it. When I start creeping up on the half way mark, I'll start pushing you to get going. You still have a couple of months. I'll be sure to slip an extra few bucks in my photographer's pocket (Joshua) for taking such a flattering picture. You all are the best!!
