I have been keeping up with my O!. Except for taking off the weekends, after I do it today that will be two weeks of it. Even though I have been part of the message boards for years, I don't think I've ever actually done a whole O! workout at least 5 days a week for more than a month. The thing is, I honestly don't like it. Sacreligious, I know. But this seems to be the only thing that I've ever noticed really working, so this time I'm going to make a super effort to keep at it for at least two months. Maybe by then I will have noticed enough improvements to learn to enjoy it more.

My baby seems to be mostly better from his stuffy nose already, it only lasted about a day. But now my 5-year-old daughter seems to be feeling even worse. I've been able to convince her to keep a poisitive attitude, though, by reminding her that "a merry heart does good like a medicine".

Rose

Glad your baby is better,Rose. I love those lil ones! I've had 6!

I did L1 but no extras yet today. No weight loss but I was down 1/2 in in the ribcage;1/2 in in the waist & 1/4 in in the thigh!

Any loss is a good loss. I'm off to do my Sunday School lesson here!
Have a great day!
Shelby

Good morning Rose, Shelby and Laura! I did my Oxycise this morning.

Rose...I have to be honest and say that I don't look forward to doing my Oxycise each day. However, once I'm through, I am always glad....not just because it's over with, but because it really does make me feel good. It's become such a part of my routine each day that I don't think I'll ever stop doing it.

Congrats on the loss Shelby. You and Donna are doing great losing those inches!

Laura....is the trip to NYC for business or pleasure? I sure hope you'll have that boot off by then!

I need to go vacuum the house. Hope everyone has a good Friday and an even better weekend!

Kelly

GOod Morning, I actually did L1 of the morning. I usually do it in the evening with my 15(almost 16-she's counting those days) year old daughter. She has been doing O! for a week and lost 1 1/2 inches. Yea for her!! Me on the other hand, I cant brag. My husband wanted to start that Atkins diet this week and I joined him, however I think I have gained my 4 pounds back that I lost with just doing oxycise and keeping away from the sweets. So now, I don't know what to do.. I think I need to by Jill's book. I know how to eat healthy, I have done WW and First Place which is excellent healthy eating, but I cant stay with it!!! Thanks for posting, I enjoy reading, even if I don't post everyday.(maybe I need to,haha)

Hello Everyone!

Shelby--way to go on those inches!

Rose--I don't get the energy buzz most people get from O! In fact--it makes me sleepy (I am 20 weeks pregnant thought.) However--Like Kelly, I always feel good after I finish--and I shutter to think where I would be without breathing exercises! I have gained 12 pounds so far--but considering my age--and lack of metabolism--I am very happy with that.

I just finished a double L1--actually--did L1--then made up my routine for the second one. I have now done Oxycise 25 of the 30 days in January. I wanted to do them all--but--feel this is good solid progress.

We're suppose to get snow tomorrow. Is anyone doing anything fun for the Super Bowl? I mean--besides Oxycising--LOL!

Happy Friday!

OK Guess what! I am a happy mama! When my 2 girls & I went shopping tonight, Gab found an extra 10€ in her purse that she had hid away.Then she & Lydia insisted to buy me a cute jean skirt. I bought a size 36. Does that sound like an American size? Anyway it is snug but fits. In 2002, I bought size 2X at Sears the last time I bought clothes. Is that a good reduction? I've lived in France so long I don't even know the sizes anymore!

Shelby

I didn't do O! on Thursday morning because I just couldn't get out of bed! It was so cold and I could hear the snowplow going down the street at like 4 in the morning. I did do the commuter tape in the evening, though, but it was a bit scary because the roads were bad.

I did O! L2 this morning again. I think I was a bit sleepy but did my best to do the breath correctly. I am going to my sister's in Indiana this weekend and won't be able to O! We're staying in a hotel with my parents and I just think it's too embarrasing to do O! in front of people. I don't even want to do O! commuter tape in front of my husband. So no O! for me until Monday.

Today is my last day of work! I'm retiring at the ripe old age of 29! Well, I hope this is permanent, but we'll see where God leads me.

I still need to measure to see if I've lost any inches.

Have a great weekend everybody!

Carol <><

Told ya I'd post! lol

Anyways, did L1 with weights and my 2-mile video. Have finished all 144 ounces of water and I have done really well cutting down my lunch portions. After doing some thorough and painful soul-searching (food diary-YUCK!) I realized I was still eating too many calories at lunch. Also, I realized I wasn't eating as many veggies as I should. So, since I ADORE raw carrots, I'm having one at lunch every day along with a smaller lunch, and it really does satisfy me. I'm also eating more slowly, which helps a great deal. So, we'll see how that goes.

I was also VERY GOOD today (*** the thumping sound of me patting myself on the back***), because the Girl Scouts came a-knockin' and I turned them down! Someone give me a medal, PLEASE!!!!!

Gotta go change diapers, get mail, and start dinner. See ya tomorrow!

GO PATS!!!!

Donna

Weather seems to be bad about everywhere. I try to stay in & stay busy if possible.I have lost 1 more lb. I have 10 more to lose then I will be happy. I am on the 5th week of the L1. I only found 2 I don't really like so I will probably do something else in place of them.
Missy O- I love the F.F.S. book, I like the choices of foods we can eat & I don't have to weigh & measure anything .
Rose- Hang in there I do L1 2 times a day I have found when I am dressing/undressing is the best times for me to do it, Trying to do the reps in the day hrs. I would feel like I have to do something I don't want to, now it's just like brushing my hair it is so routine .
Shelby- Way to Go I know that made you feel good to shop, curious? How do they size clothes in France
I hope every one has a great week-end We are to have a festival this week end but is raining now & is to continue all week end. that's the way it goes. Stay warm & dry everyone, Got to run took up too much of your time already.

Hello everyone!! Haven't done my O yet but I will. I've done just a couple of reps but I'll do the rest here in awhile. I actually never finished my reps yesterday. Bad Terrie Bad Terrie!!! I just all of a sudden got tired and couldn't seem to think straight and felt so OVERWHELMED by everything. Anyone else ever get like that sometimes? I know I can't be the only one. So I decided to go to bed early. I think it's just because I'm lacking in sleep. My baby is almost five months and she still isn't sleeping through the night like I expected. She'll have some 3 and 4 hours stretches but I think the problem may be she has come to WANT the bottle and not NEED the bottle. Sooooo, I am following some tips in a book to try to solve the problem. She was doing pretty good about a month or so ago and then boom, she starts waking up every 2 to 3 hours usually. Anyway, I ordered my tapes yesterday. Got the 1, 2 and buns and thighs and I also ordered the Fuel for Success book which they knocked five bucks off. That was a bonus!!! Cant wait to watch them. congrats to everyone who has lost weight or inches. Hope everybody who has been sick is starting to feel better. Rose thanks for the reply about Ebay. I was just kind of wondering. I figured it probably was against the rules. Shelby I have no idea about the sizes. Cant wait till I can get into a jean skirt again though. Lucky you!!! Everybody else have a great day. I've got lots to do as usual so this is just a quick post today. Ta Ta for now!!!
