    Another NSV...yesterday Mr. NY and I were hanging out at my house...I was wearing yoga pants...he said "babe, that *kitten* though"...lol. Yay for squats!!! (And yoga pants!)

    Awesome NSV! How long have you've been lifting now?

    Only about 2 months...I'm definitely having the beginner's gains...I'll be sad when that stops.... :neutral:

    Edited to say that I had been working out with kettlebells and doing squats about 2 months before that...but I've been able to increase my squat and deadlift weight pretty rapidly (yay for beginner's gains again...)

    Nice. What are your maxes at? I've done a little bit of strength training, but not really following a program yet.

    Mostly I do five sets of Overhead Press at 10 pounds, Squats with either ten pounds or just the bar, & Deadlifts I tried around 60 pounds the other day. The only exercise I cannot do at the moment is bench.

    I overhead press at 50, squat at 95, deadlift at 125...I suck at bench...I can do the bar and that's it. Hoping to start increasing it soon.

    Morning all. Having a bit of an NSV i think. Very few of my clothes actually fit me at the moment. they are too big and bag and sag around the waist/hips. So while i might not be losing lbs so much, things are definitely changing.

    Definitely a NSV!

    I'm a bit nervous, excited, anxious today. Tomorrow morning is the 20 week anomaly scan. I've no reason to be worried - it's a standard scan for everyone - but I am a little bit on edge. Although I'm also really looking forward to seeing the bubs. It wouldn't sit still at the 12 week scan and really made the sonographer work!

    Good luck with the scan!! I know how hard those can be from both sides! I hope your sonographer is patient and skilled.

    First day of kinder was a success for little girl. She was so tired she passed out before 6pm. I had a bad evening. I planned to work out, but got home and no one had taken my poor dog out earlier in the day, so I came home to a nasty mess to clean up. I confess after cleaning that up and mopping the floor, I was in no mood to do much of anything. So I didn't.

    @orangesmartie it sounds like you are recomping well there. Changing your shape, but not the weight. Great job!

    I weigh more than my mom (not by very much), but last night we were both in the bathroom when I looked in the mirror and she looked bigger than me, which is a first in my whole life. Deep down I actually loved feeling thinner than her.

    My 18 year old (Son 1) started college today with scholarships to cover it all. This is the one with autism. I am a proud mama today.
    How wonderful for the both of you! I hope he has a great time.

    99 degrees in Dallas. At least it doesn't feel too humid. Run tonight will be fun! I also forgot the black camisole to wear under my shirt so have to make the driver stop at a store to buy something. My shirt for tomorrow has a plunging neckline. Unless I want my coworkers to see my bra tomorrow need to stop!!!
    Be thankful you didn't have to come around July or August! I checked the Houston subreddit for specifics, and it was 104 degrees only 13 days ago.

    Ick. Isn't it August? Or did I lose a month? :wink:
    :laugh: I'm so over the weather, I skipped this week!

    Now that's funny!!! Can I skip this week too... jury duty on Wednesday.
    Aww, good luck with that! I've only been called once, but our presiding judge allowed everyone to come in a few hours later than other courts, 9 or 10, and all cases that day were settled out of court.

    Congratulations on your victories @orangesmartie and @saraherren

    Yuck to the dog mess. I don't really blame you for not feeling up to anything afterward. I'm glad your daughter had a good first day of kindergarten!

    My niece did something so hilarious today that made me think of this thread.

    My youngest niece came over to her mom today & asked for Chocolate Milk. My sister went over & got the milk & the powder & my niece threw the hugest fit. What did she want? She just wanted the powder in the glass & then threw herself on the floor & had a huge fit. Needless to say she didn't get her own way.

    I was happy that today I fit in Chipotle (steak burritos yum) & a whole pint of frozen yogurt.

    Ha! That's awesome!!
    And I LOVE Chipotle!! I haven't had it in well over a year though! Not sure why...we just never think to go there when we get food. That should change soon!! Awesome job fitting that AND frozen yogurt!! Winnnn!!!!!!

    I love Chipotle too. Mmmmm mmmmmm.

    Chipotle is a huge reason I got fat buuuut I still eat it! Just not in such large quantities anymore! Haha <3

    We don't have that in Canada, is it Mexican food?
    Yup! You can pick a protein, beans, rice, and so on to make tacos, a burrito, or a bowl.
    @spacequiztime and @kellyjellybellyjelly I'm even excited for the trip to Red Lobster. He's at 288 right now so I have a bit of time.

    I told my sister, the one with diabetes, about MFP and she hasn't been keeping up with it. Thankfully with the summer though, she has lost some weight and her doctor has noted some improvement in her kidney function. I would LOVE for her to get in on the group but we'll have to see. I know she would probably have a field day with the super great recipes thread! She's an excellent cook.

    You really have to keep on top of that. Does she try and keep her blood sugar level, or is she more lackadaisy about it? Kidney function is affected so easy, I have a friend dealing with that now. Thankfully (luckily), even with one kidney, my function has been fine thus far, but it is scary and I get it checked four times a year. Has she been diabetic long?
    My dad has been diagnosed as diabetic maybe around a year ago, and my mom was recently diagnosed as prediabetic. Neither of them have been really staying on top of anything and it just worries me...

    It is so hard for people that get it later in life to change life long bad habits. You have to kind of gently push them to do something good - 'hey, let's go for a walk after dinner' - because if you go harsh it will make them tune it out. Make sure they get regular medical check ups, so if something does not look right, it is caught early enough to do something about it.
    Thank you for this. My mom has gotten into the habit of going for a walk at the park closest to their house on her days off. It will take her time, but I do think she'll be able to manage herself well. She had some dental issues a few years ago and has been very careful to listen to her medical advice. My dad however... He reminds me of the husband from this thread. It takes a lot of careful maneuvering to offer suggestions without setting him off.

    And a very happy birthday to @jthurman3 :smiley:

    I hope everything goes well with the scan @spamarie

    So, the internet went out on campus, so my accounting professor had to dismiss us early. We may or may not be behind already.

    I'm really hoping my math teacher was just having an off day, because she was all over the place today! Completely random, and really scattered around. We'll see on Thursday I guess lol!

    I haven't even gotten around to card shopping so I can write out birthday cards in advance! (Glinda has kindly offered to send them out for me if I send them to her in bulk so I can join in! :)) Jenni, would you mind getting your birthday card a month late or so? :D

    My office is right beside a Hallmark store so getting cards is the easy part for me. Getting them to the post office on time with the correct postage will be the challenge!! (as well as getting them out on time)

    Besides Jenni the rest are in October so you have some time. Mail to England for me takes a couple weeks so just keep that in mind.

    Driving being illegal for women combined with the fact that my husband is currently very busy getting everything ready for classes and such (he just started the fall semester in his Masters program) means that I've been stuck at home for a while, so cards haven't happened yet. ;) Postage won't be too hard, since I get to send them all in one go. :)
