I'm sorry you have to do more travelling right away. Is that normal for you, or is this just a busy time? I hope you get some time at home soon. And I hope you enjoyed the shower. Nothing like it at the end of a hard day, is there?

Thanks, Nickie! I don't travel this much normally but my company has a lot going on this quarter. Given the state of the economy, I really shouldn't complain!! I'm thankful to have a job that I love and allows me to support my child!

Well, I worked out again today! 40 minutes - 40 HARD minutes - on the treadmill. I felt great - - Gee, I forgot how much I love to sweat

I always feel better when I sweat! Yee-Haw!

I was 100% compliant today and I am 100% back on track. I think I'm even getting rid of the water retention from the travel....so it sucks that I fly and it takes 3 days to get rid of the water and then its time to fly again

but again, I'm not complaining - - I love my job :-) AND I love the house it pays for - hee hee

I'm so swamped that I really don't have time to read journals. I'm so sorry - - maybe life will settle out soon!

Yes, water retention stinks - BUT at least you know why you might be up on the scale from time to time. I find having something to blame it on helps me mentally get past the numbers. Be good and get some rest while you're home!

Hope you're getting some well deserved rest Susie :-P

Today is DAY 24 (if I counted right

) and I'm down an even 15 pounds! Hmmm, I'll take it!!! My clothes are already feeling better! I'm more and more motivated to stick to this thing so that's good!!

I did 50 minutes (added 10) on the treadmill yesterday alternating between a fast uphill walk, jogging and walking at a full incline in my target heart rate zone. I hope I'm doing this right - LOL. I was HUNGRY after my work out for sure! I can tell when my body starts really kicking in to over burn because I get the hungries

. I won't complain - - esp when the scale goes down! I took my measurements yesterday (24 days late but better late than never) so I can see how those shrink too

OK, I gotta get to work - - The bus lady has a busy day planned

Hey susie... You are doing fabulous. I can not wait to start exercising on day 21. Keep up the great work.

nickieluv · by **nickieluv** » February 5th, 2009, 4:37 am

So lately every time I read "Susie Q" I start singing the song in my head. It's a good song so I don't mind - but it's only in the last few days. Weird, huh?

That exercise sounds tough - intervals are the way to go, I hear, so it sounds like you're doing it right. 15 pounds in 24 days, too - that's almost 5 pounds per week! Congratulations on sticking to it for so long, and getting right back on the horse after that little oops on your last trip.

Have a good one (day, trip, workout, whatever it is I hope it's good)! :lol:

Thanks, Nickie! You know, I hadn' thought of the average in that way - that's really motivating to me!! Thanks for pointing it out - - woo hoo!! :lol:
