Only a few pictures - don't need a dozen to see the reality. But wait until we have some progress - then I'll be posting some "killa" photos FABulous!

Hi Roz!

Well, you made the decision to get started, so you are on the right track! You will be so HAPPY when that NOW photo becomes a THEN photo. Good job with a loss of 9.5 lbs so far!! Now just keep stringing the workout days together, pretty soon? MUCH SMALLER!!

Way to go!!!

Thank you so much! I already feel the difference, and I'm hoping that initial "rush" of willpower doesn't desert me yet.

I had my 10-year-old take the pictures (not married). I'm hoping to set an example for her, that determination can really make a difference no matter what your goal is. Hey, if I can quit *smoking*, I can do anything, right?

I'm fasting today and tomorrow, doing Abs and Limber morning and night. Then back to "PUSH PLAY" on Tuesday.

Life is FABULOUS!

I saw that for kids and I thought it was so cute I showed the demo online to my daughter. She says (and I quote) "That was weird." At 10, she can be entirely too "grown up" for her own good. She loves my YBB because of the ballet. We don't usually work out together because I'm one of those early burners - 5:00 a.m. - and she's never up so early. She's been enjoying the Limber and doing that with me in the evenings. Luckily, she's got an entirely different body type than mine - is very slim and is nearly as tall as I am at 10 years old! Of course, I'm kind of short 5'4", but she's 5'1" already. She's going to be a tall, willowy blonde.

I was really jazzed this morning because I'm down 2.4 from last week. Woo Hoo! I'm going to push play *now*.

Life is FABULOUS!

Aren't kids fun? I wish I could have had half a dozen.

Today is an off day, my dog was sick in the night and I didn't have the energy to get up early.

I've been eating *really* good --- lots of steamed veggies (I've been mixing some unusual things like red peppers with cauliflower and green onions... yum! ), fresh salads full of fun stuff like radishes and lil green onions, little mini-steaks about the size of my palm. When (not if, you know, but *when* ) I feel the overwhelming urge for something sweet, I have JUST ONE SPOONFUL of ice cream or JUST ONE BITE of chocolate.... And, surprisingly, it satisfies.

Perhaps this time it's the "real deal." I certainly feel differently this time, really - no desperation, no deprivation. Just a quiet determination. (yessss!!)

I have a feeling... I'm gonna be FABULOUS!!!!

Oh, man, I feel for you. I have never had food allergies, and I was tested this year to confirm that. (Also don't have hay fever or animal allergies.) But I have family members with allergies and I've seen my nephews really sick with asthma caused by allergies - even hospitalized! A terrible thing.

......
When I started SI6, I tried the SIU routine and didn't feel I was getting sweaty enough... so I switched to RIU and that was a really good workout, lots of sweat and it challenged me, for sure. I couldn't do all of it (especially the leg work, where most of my fat is), but sure got a "burn" going! Saturday morning, I realized that I was doing more with it! I thought, "Hey! Look at that! I'm getting there! I'm really going to DO this!" That was a *great* feeling.

It's working. I'm feeling so good, and I'm looking forward to getting Slim

Down another pound... wish it were more, but? Gotta hang in there.

P.S. Happy Mother's Day! Hope all you moms had a great time with your families. I got half my kitchen painted by my ex, if you can feature that, then went with my daughter to my folks' and cooked a nice dinner.

Really sick yesterday, there's this stomach flu thing that's been making the rounds in our community. I know several people who have had it and I guess it's my turn now. Bleagh! Inconvenient, unplanned purging, basically. I expected to get on the scale and find myself down a couple of pounds afterwards, but guess what? My contrary body is UP two pounds! How does that happen?? I know my system processes slower because of my thyroid problem, but come on! grrrrr....

Anyway, no work out yesterday because of it, but I'll be backing up a step and doing SIU this morning because it's a bit lighter and I'm still a little shaky. But I gotta PUSH PLAY as much as possible.

Have a great time in L.A., Sascha girl I'm just down the road from you. Enjoy the cooler weather while you can - it's supposed to be over 100 here by Thursday.

Oh, yes, we do the tape measure thing here, too. I have a good friend who has been nipping at my heels for years about my weight (she, herself, is obsessed with losing weight but never gets very far) and got me started measuring several years ago. I'm down 1.5 inches on my waist, an inch off my butt, and pretty much a half inch everywhere else. I measure once a week, but only do a real comparison once a month.

I'm still weird in the belly - which is very odd, since I thought this was a flu thing, but apparently it's something else. I don't know of anyone else who's had this! I'm going to do another fast with water and peppermint tea only for a couple of days to see if we can get it resolved. A friend also told me about taking charcoal (I guess there is some type that you can buy OTC in capsules) that is supposed to absorb any toxins in your system, so we'll start off the fast with that. Bleagh!

If you can feature this, Saturday night I went dancing I'm part of the singles group at my church and there was a dinner and live band out in Palm Springs. We had a blast! The men, of course, are scarce, but we had a group of gals out there stompin' up a storm to some rock and roll oldies from 60's and 70's. What a hoot! I literally danced for 2 straight hours, and was soaked! Great workout!

Glad you had a good time in L.A. Tried to access your thread this morning to read about your adventures, but it says "in moderation" so I'll try again later.

Have a great day!

Hi Roz! Thanks for stopping by my thread! I see you're doing SI6. I saw you lost some inches- WTG!!!!! I've got to get back on the train.
