Tonight we have a little party at my mother-in-law's brother's wife's house, which I dread going to, but since it's for the kids and my in-law's have all made such a big deal aobut it, I have to go. (I don't really mingle well with these folks.)

Anyhow, so I won't be able to get on later to post, but, as usual I'll be doing L1.

Hope you all have a great day!

Take care everyone, and KEEP BREATHIN'!

Hi everyone

I haven't been posting for a couple of days. Since I am on vacation my schedule is all out of whack. I have so much stuff to do while I am off that I feel like I am running in 12 different directions at once! I don't know WHAT I would do if I had kids!

Susan, just remember to keep breathin' tonight at the party. It will be over soon! By the way,
Happy Ramaden!

Rose, congratulations on you 10lb loss. That is great!

Margaret, Hang in there--- you will see results.

Kelly S, You are such an inspiration! You are so busy but still find time to do your exercising, drink your water and post!

Karen F., Glad to see you back. That is good news about your business. I don't have kids, but I can imagine it must be hard when they grow up and start out on their own.

Well, this morning I am getting ready to do L1.
Then it is off to the grocery store. When I get back from there, I plan to detail my husband's truck. His birthday is this weekend and that will be one of my gifts to him. He loves his truck. I think he would bring it to bed if I would let him! Oh! and I went to the doctor on
Monday for my checkup. He was so happy with my blood test results that he is not going to put me on cholesterol lowering drugs! I was REALLY glad about that! My total cholesterol is down 46 points, my triglycerides are down 68 points and my LDL (bad) cholesterol is down 32 points! All of this is from doing O!, watching what I eat a little & drinking water. I have just started taking a natural fiber supplement that is supposed to lower your cholesterol, so we will see in three months what happens with that. Didn't mean to ramble on & on but this has really been important to me.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Hi Everybody-

Did a level one early this morning and feel wonderful.

Susan, try to enjoy yourself tonight..I'm sure you'll get through it with flying colors.

Good morning! I did L2 this morning and already have 32 ounces of water down. (I'm still enjoying my fresh lemons) Well, yesterday I ended up doing 2 miles of walk video by myself right before lunch since I knew I wouldn't be able to in the evening. Last night I did 30 reps on the way to my meeting and 30 more on the way home. So...I guess I got in 3 O! sessions! (not something I do very often!)

Susan, hang in there and keep a smile on your face. The evening will fly by before you know it. It's amazing what we'll put up with sometimes for the sake of our families!

Alicia, that is GREAT news about your cholesterol!!! I know you are so relieved not to have to take medication. You'll have to let us know how the fiber suplement works, too. I was please last time I had mine checked, too, since I eat so much cheese and eggs. I really think Oxycise is a contributing factor in lowering cholesterol.

Helene, it's always good to see you posting. You are such a bright spot on this board!! I'll bet you are the type that really "glows" with your pregnancy!

Well...I'm off to WalMart and to maybe try to do some Christmas shopping. I hate to shop!
Yeah, well.....

My kids get out early today (before 1:00) and my older daughter and family are coming for supper tonight. Still didn't finish my book yesterday, but hope to have time to do that at some point today.

Hope the day goes well for everyone!

Kelly

Hi everyone,

Well, after my first full week of Oxycise I lost 5lbs!

my inch loss was:

chest: -1&1/2"
left arm: -1/2" right arm:+1/2" (kinda wierd)
waist: -3/4"
hips: -2" !!!
left thigh:-1/2" right thigh: same
left calf: -1&1/2" right calf: same

Kinda strange, though. It seems the right side of my body needs to catch up with the left! It doesn't seem possible that it could work this fast!

Susan, good luck when visiting with your family. I have such a problem with my in-laws that I am DREADING Thanksgiving. They really seem to know how to take the joy out of the holidays sometimes.

Take care everyone, have a great day!

Margaret

Congrats, Margaret and actually, that's not weird at all...one side of our body is always bigger than the other, so even though it seems that you're 'uneven' actually, you're in perfect proportion.

Keep up the great work...and thanks for that Kelly

Love
Helene

Good afternoon, all! I figured since my O! day isn't done until evening, I will post yesterday's progress today! I did buns & thighs 1 yesterday morning & abs & upper body yesterday evening. I drank about 4 1/2 liters of water (I actually drank 5 liters, but I took off 1/2 a liter because of the giant cup of black tea I drank yesterday afternoon.) I had a yummy un-chicken veggie soup for supper & stir-fried veggies in a pita for lunch! So far I have already done abs & upper body & I'm on liter #3 of water.


I'll catch you all tomorrow! Have a great day, keep breathing & drink your water!
