I'm going out for cheese fries with a girlfriend of mine tonight. I plan on logging them even if they put me close to 1000+ calories over my daily calorie goal. #itsformygainz
Nice! There's this Italian place downstate where I'm from that has the most amazing Gorgonzola waffle fries. I'm so hungry.

Guess that is how this works right?

Look at it as a win for being awake. Tomorrow's goal is get out of bed. The day after, to put clothes on. I've tried setting my alarm for stupid AM. I just switch it off and go back to sleep.
When I first started working out in the morning, I put my alarm clock across the room so I had to get out of bed to turn it off. Two and a half months later, I'm used to getting up at 5 and it's not a struggle anymore.
I've tried that and downloading those alarms where you have to solve a puzzle or scan a barcode for the alarm to shut off, all to no avail. I am now at the conclusion that i am not a morning person, so no amount of tricks is going to make it happen.
This is me. My hubby gets up and runs at 4:30am. The only thing that gets me out of bed is that I'm competitive. I can't let him get training that I don't get. It wouldn't be fair.
I need someone to run with Mrs S doesn't do mornings any more than I do and she doesn't run, ever.
I need someone to kick my butt out of bed these days. I did make it running yesterday!
I did get my 5am strength training in this morning:
Standing One-Arm Dumbbell Curl
Dumbbell Row, One-Arm, Bent-Over
Triceps Extension
Seated, Low Lat Pull-In, Two-Arm
Lat Pulldown
Abdominal crunch - seated machine
Kettlebell swings
Preacher Bench Medium-Grip Barbell Curl
Abdominal Extension
Leg Extension
Leg Curls
Leg Press
Nice work0 -

Actually, I see Oberon21 in this quote... maybe older quotes before I changed don't change?
Ah maybe. I thought they were new posts because your name/avatar was oberon
I meant older as in seconds or days before I changed??
You are Oberon WAY back in 1034
I haven't come across any quotes tho. You are still POFoster21 in quotes 
And yay for running. You can do 7-10 miles for me. lol. If I were allowed, today is my 10 miler day. I'll have to settle for walking a few miles on the slow, uninclined treadmill (I'm allowed that and slow swimming as per my dr. )
I confess to being done one leg warmer that I made WAY too big so its a thigh high and is way bulky, but should be warm. Took me a week, Even wove in my ends. Now I have to start the second one. I think its awesome. If I figure out how to post pics I will.
I could have used those last week during the snow fall.0 -

I'm nursing a foot injury, plantar fasciitis that won't go away. I used to run about 25-30 miles a week, now I don't run at all. I have filled the cardio void with swimming, hitting the heavy bag, spinning, and HIIT, and of course, eating less to remain in maintenance (which is unfortunate)! But nothing takes the place of running, it was basically my church and psychiatrist's couch. I have been doing rehab and wearing shoe inserts, and have a follow up with a podiatrist in early March, so hopefully I will be back in time for spring. no HIIT, no heavy bags, I can't even bend and tie my sons skates.
I was up to 25 miles a week, as well as 10+ miles of walking as well (I live in a tiny town, so I don't drive anywhere) And so this inactivity thing just SUCKS.
I'm very scared that since I can't be as active as I was I'm going to regain all the weight I lost plus friends. Or I'm going to lose muscle tone, and be skinny flabby

Totally post pics! The only sweater I ever fully knitted was huge. I totally made the stitches too loose so the size ended up like 3X what it was supposed to be... I gave it to my sister anyway. It was made with love...even if it was clown sized!
Tammy is doing all the running (rungirl) these days. She'll have to cover your 10 miler (although I am trying again!)0 -

Ha, most days I am up before 5... but not very motivated. And sometimes I just feed the cats and go to back bed...I text Tammy at 5:30 (when I remember!!!). But we can text! Send me your number and I'll send you mine!
ETA: I used to get up nearly every day at 3:30 am I just can't seem to do it anymore.
LOL! So, @TigerNY128 will text @Oberon21 to get up and text me. And then one or all of us need to nag @orangesmartie later in the evening when it is HER morning time to run. I'm in Central time zone, so it would be earlier for me...
That would be funny to try and do that...WAIT your in central timezone? I have been texting you at 4:30?0 -
@Oberon21 I am on page 1041, and saw pics of your renos. and I wanna say, I want your bathroom.
Thanks! I am quite happy with my bathroom. Andmy kitchen. I have so much tile left over I will probably redo my other smaller bathroom in a similar fashion. I am trying to half think of something do do with the same tile in a new, interesting way.0 -

The sweatshirt I made in Home Ec was so hideous! I remember the sewing teacher was so mean in 7th grade & then practically did my whole project in 8th grade.
I wonder whatever happened to my sweatshirt? I'm sure I threw it in the garbage.0 -

I had a bad case in 2014. I got the injection in my foot, did a TON of stretching and wear inserts in my shoes and haven't had any problems since. I run anywhere between 0-50 miles per week. LOL
I had it bad for years, since switching to Asacs shoes I do not feel it anymore.0 -

You can still claim being on the page though since your name is there.
I confess I finally opened my Strawberry Shortcake spread & it's heavenly! The fat kid in me wanted to inhale the whole jar, but I only used a serving.
I also confess that I am going way over in calories today, but I want pizza! I'll just even out the calories the next week to make up.
A sad confession:
No more Strawberry Shortcake Spread since I annihilated the jar. I thought about drowning the jar, but it was too good to waste.
This post is up for grabs for a bingo square haha.
Darn it !!! My internet was out. The router that wouldn't let me refresh yesterday got fried by a power surge today. Kudos to Denni for fixing it already.
Great job Denni!!0 -

I signed up for three races today, including the Tucson marathon. I'm still just building endurance and mileage slowly. Two miles on a 2.5% incline today. I am excited. I also finally told SO that I'm doing it. He is fully on board as consultant and coach. Yay!!! First up, a five K next month. A 10 K in March (or early April, I have to look) and I'm looking over some halfs in the summer months. There is one called "bucket of blood" (YIKES).0 -

I am rooting for no surgery and glad to read you can walk on the treadmill and swim. Bummer about not even being able to tie skates.
I agree with everything Mel said. I hope you are able to heal fully and quickly.0 -

I confess to being done one leg warmer that I made WAY too big so its a thigh high and is way bulky, but should be warm. Took me a week, Even wove in my ends. Now I have to start the second one. I think its awesome. If I figure out how to post pics I will.
Totally post pics! The only sweater I ever fully knitted was huge. I totally made the stitches too loose so the size ended up like 3X what it was supposed to be... I gave it to my sister anyway. It was made with love...even if it was clown sized!
Tammy is doing all the running (rungirl) these days. She'll have to cover your 10 miler (although I am trying again!)
The sweatshirt I made in Home Ec was so hideous! I remember the sewing teacher was so mean in 7th grade & then practically did my whole project in 8th grade.
I wonder whatever happened to my sweatshirt? I'm sure I threw it in the garbage.
We had to do button down shirts. My top buttonholes were horrid. I'm sure it got turned to rags.0 -

Look at it as a win for being awake. Tomorrow's goal is get out of bed. The day after, to put clothes on. I've tried setting my alarm for stupid AM. I just switch it off and go back to sleep.
When I first started working out in the morning, I put my alarm clock across the room so I had to get out of bed to turn it off. Two and a half months later, I'm used to getting up at 5 and it's not a struggle anymore.
I've tried that and downloading those alarms where you have to solve a puzzle or scan a barcode for the alarm to shut off, all to no avail. I am now at the conclusion that i am not a morning person, so no amount of tricks is going to make it happen.
This is me. My hubby gets up and runs at 4:30am. The only thing that gets me out of bed is that I'm competitive. I can't let him get training that I don't get. It wouldn't be fair.
I need someone to run with Mrs S doesn't do mornings any more than I do and she doesn't run, ever.
(this could be complete hogwash) Can you facetime and run with someone? Is that something you can do internationally? I am so ignorant on phone features and I have not facetimed (is that a word) in my life. (Head down, not a good suggestion.)0 -
THIS! Exactly. Except, I have Spinal Stenosis, and herniated disks and I need to wait for the neurosurgeon to decide whether or not I need surgical decompression of the spine.orangesmartie wrote: »orangesmartie wrote: »

Ah maybe. I thought they were new posts because your name/avatar was oberon
I meant older as in seconds or days before I changed??

I'm nursing a foot injury, plantar fasciitis that won't go away. I used to run about 25-30 miles a week, now I don't run at all. I have filled the cardio void with swimming, hitting the heavy bag, spinning, and HIIT, and of course, eating less to remain in maintenance (which is unfortunate)! But nothing takes the place of running, it was basically my church and psychiatrist's couch. I have been doing rehab and wearing shoe inserts, and have a follow up with a podiatrist in early March, so hopefully I will be back in time for spring. no HIIT, no heavy bags, I can't even bend and tie my sons skates.
I was up to 25 miles a week, as well as 10+ miles of walking as well (I live in a tiny town, so I don't drive anywhere) And so this inactivity thing just SUCKS.
I'm very scared that since I can't be as active as I was I'm going to regain all the weight I lost plus friends. Or I'm going to lose muscle tone, and be skinny flabby
Hi Myles! Are you north, south, east or west of Winterpeg? I'm in northwestern Ontario myself.
I'm sorry for your forced inactivity.0 -

I feel lucky - we only did pencil cases and aprons. I still have my apron - it is white with a pattern of tiny alligators wearing running shoes on it.0 -

No, that's awesome! Have you ever had a too big sweater? But it was the comfyest, cosyeat thing ever?
That was totally the thing in the 80's. To steal your dad's sweaters and wear them over stirrup pants.
Huge sweaters are the best.0 -

I had a bad case in 2014. I got the injection in my foot, did a TON of stretching and wear inserts in my shoes and haven't had any problems since. I run anywhere between 0-50 miles per week. LOL
I'm glad to hear that, it is encouraging that you were able to fully recover like that! 0-50 is a nice range, it provides you with some flexibility, lol!0 -

Hi Glinda, I'm just south of the Winterpeg, all my activities are in the city actually.
I'm a bit of a weirdo and when I hear Northwestern Ontario my mind goes to Atikoken. Am I close? lol.
and @Oberon21 nope, its a late 1970s style, but not vivid, I need to figure out how to get the pics on my phone on to here. (Finger crossed that worked)
