Dilly, it sounds like you are on your way to a wonderful success! Just reading your intro., I can tell you have the mindset to get where you want to be. I am LOVING the fact that your trainer posted on your thread and gave you some mad props! Good for you for taking the bull by the horns!!
I'm not even going to wish you luck, because nobody ever got healthier by relying on luck! I'll be sending you positive vibes and wishes that you find ways to excel that you never dreamt possible.

Great start, Tracey. You are in good hands with Leigh. She'll get you there...that and your hard work, of course! Major congrats on breaking 180...that's awesome!

Of course it counts!!!

I've heard nothing but good about Leigh!

I think we have an obligation to look out for each other! I'm coming round to "see" you soon.

2-4-6-8 Tracey's <180 is really great!
She left office late but that didn't stop her,
Fed her body with a workout, don't think you can top her!

Awesome amigo

Today was a rest day - low cal/low carb - but surprising I haven't had the hungries today! Since I didn't get a chance to do my flexibility work yesterday after my workout, I did that this afternoon. I have my Week 2 check-in with Leigh tomorrow, where I'll do pics, weight and measurements!

LoriAnne · 01-11-2008, 04:19 PM

DanceDiva · 01-13-2008, 07:14 AM

Hi Tracey,
Workout and results looking good! Am I going to have to think of a "back away from the tea" cheer

?

That's a good rate. That's above average, so you're doing great.

Did you measure after a workout?

Forward movement is always good.

Thanks for the heads up on Teavana - there's a couple of outlets within 5 miles of me here in Chicagoland. I'll check it out - my green tea stash is going to run out in less than a month.

Congrats on your progress so far!

LoriAnne · 01-13-2008, 11:39 AM

Great job on the weight/BF losses this week! Yay for you and keep up the hard work!
My mouth was watering reading about your tea purchases, I'm a huge tea person and am thinking I may have to try to find some of that on the web. . . .

Nice week!

LisaS · 01-13-2008, 11:48 AM

Teavana Looks quite interesting

Lisa - it was an interesting place. You actually get sales help that is knowledgeable about the teas so you learn about the different types. Cool place!

Today's workout was

58 mins of Cathe's Rhythmic Step fun!
Avg HR was 140

LisaS · 01-13-2008, 01:45 PM

I saw that there is a store down in Mission Viejo - I might have to trek down some weekend and check it out.

dillytl · 01-14-2008, 06:31 AM

Just in case you don't know what that means...............

Oh SH** It's Monday!

Biskit · 01-14-2008, 02:39 PM

Hi Tracey,

Thanks for checking out my log. Good work on your workouts! Great to see the downward trend in weight and bodyfat! Nice work.

dillytl · 01-14-2008, 03:55 PM

Today's workout details:

(All for 3x12's, 75 sec rest between supersets)
A1 Sumo Deadlift 75lbs (thought I added 10 lbs more than last time, but apparently I can't count today

and ended up adding 15 - still got all my reps!!)
A2 DB Pullover on Swiss Ball 20 lbs

B1 Side Lunges (no weight)
B2 Bent Over Row 65lbs

C1 Back Hyperextension on Ball
C2 Plank (1x60 secs, 1x56 secs, 1x 55 secs)
Flexibility/Mobility work

Felt GREAT today!! Love it when a workout feels awesome!!!

Need to re-arrange my schedule a bit this week. So, instead of tomorrow being a rest day, I'll take that on Wednesday, and Wednesday's aerobic workout will be moved to tomorrow. My son has to work, and his fiancee has to go to Washington DC, so I'm watching the munchkin (2 1/2 yo) and don't see me getting a workout in, other than chasing her around!!!

I see Weebles in my future!!!

dillytl · 01-14-2008, 06:45 PM

After just a couple weeks with Leigh, I know that I will learn the hows and whys, and will have the right tools that I'll need, to get the body I've always wanted! Knowing this, I'm publicly proclaiming, for all to see, that........

THIS IS THE LAST TIME I WILL EVER LOOK LIKE THIS!!!!!

And how do I know that I'll learn what I need to learn? LEIGH GIVES HOMEWORK!!!!

LoriAnne · 01-14-2008, 08:48 PM

Way to put it out there! One day you'll be delighted to look back at old photos and enjoy the results of all your hard work. Your skin looks beautiful and firm, and you should post monthly photo updates so we can all see you shrinking right out of that bikini!

Sounds like you had a great workout too! Thanks for stopping by my thread to throw out some support. I neglected to add that after my workout, I felt like a new woman-completely rejuvenated. Isn't that just a beautiful thing?

While you are chasing the little one around tomorrow, just throw her in the air a few times (and be sure to catch her lol). Talk about some cardio!!

Enjoy your day!

~Lori

DanceDiva · 01-14-2008, 11:47 PM

I think you have a cute shape too!

Do tell about the homework -- is it good, bad, or ugly?

I went to the website and found we have a teavana in the mall nearest my house -- shows how much I don't like to shop, I go to the store I want then right out of the mall. I'm going to go over there soon.

I know what you mean about feeling good after workout. I did today too, even though I went at gym busy time.

Take care,
Tracey

That may very well be it, but you have the right attitude.

I'm kind of flitting around from log to log looking for interesting things, so I may be here again sometime.

Littlemermaidklb · 01-15-2008, 08:09 AM

Hey there!
Thanks for stopping by my thread. I scanned yours... great job with the weight and bf loss! :-)
All this talk of tea is making my thirsty, lol... might have to go have some :-)
