    6/14 -.green, no gym
    12/25, 4/15

    I didn't go to the gym because Son2 was in no shape to be left alone. His friend Morgan was in a car accident Thursday afternoon and was removed from life support yesterday. He's known her since kindergarten. Wear your seatbelt. Always.

    @MelissaPhippsFeagins, so sorry to hear about your son's friend. How heart breaking.

    6/15 - green and exercise - 13/25 and 5/15

    I went to yoga class before doing back and biceps lifting with Denni. I may regret it tomorrow, but it made me forget about Morgan for a little while and I made it into crow.

    6-13, 6-14 & 6-15
    Green: No, No & No
    Goal: 5/22
    Exercise: No, Yes & No
    Goal: 7/17

    Officially the worst month for goals to date. I'll make that exercise goal, but the green goal is out.

    @MelissaPhippsFeagins So very sorry to read about Morgan. It's heartbreaking. I'll be praying for her family and friends.

    @bbinoa As long as you pop in, I'm good. Keep the strength training up. Are you noticing any changes yet?

    Today was my 500 th MFP day! I debated stopping logging, bc the OCD part of me thought that was a good number to stop at, but then I got nervous I'd backslide, so didnt!

    @Laughter_Girl, actually yes! I've seen alot of changes. Lifting heavy, and consistently is amazing. I really need to take some new pics/measurements. My weight is only down maybe 3lbs, but I've dropped almost 2 sizes. Alot of people have commented too, and not just saying I look thin, but fit, which is really cool! Plus I finally have nice shoulders and noticeable biceps now, woohoo! :smiley:

    I think while I'm doing the foot recovery thing I'm going to try to work on eating "cleaner" just see how it goes. I don't eat horribly, but there's always room for improvement!

    How are you feeling?? Are you back talking and stuff?

    @bbinoa Your feedback regarding the changes that are happening to your body by heavy lifting is amazing. Just as soon as I'm medically cleared (I can only lift 5 pounds currently - ha!), I will be starting. Although I love food and thus do more cardio because I want to eat more, my original goal when I first started was to be fit. Basically, you had me at fit. :)

    I'm coming along. I have one more week off work, but I'm only up to 4 minutes of talking at a time. I might need more time off. :D

    6/16 - green
    6/17 & 18 - red, I assume. I went camping with the Cub Scouts and got so busy that I didn't finish logging. There were toasted marshmallows and ice cream. I am sure I am in the red.
    14/25 & 4/15


    No gym - camping. Also, I hyperextended my left knee on Thursday afternoon. I am giving it one more rest day. I'm supposed to do Romanian Dead Lifts, which are hard on knees.

    Howdy-ho everyone!

    Vacation starts tomorrow. Yippee!!!

    @Laughter_Girl, amazingly, you can also eat alot more bc of strength training too. More muscles= more calories. Yippee! Haha. I'm looking forward to being able to run or do some sort of impact type cardio activities again. Thinking I may even try a crossfit class once I'm back!

    @MelissaPhippsFeagins... marshmallows and ice cream? Yes, please!!! :wink:

    Passes.@bbinoa marshmallows, ice cream and fudge stripe cookies left over from camping. (the cookies are much less messy than graham crackers and chocolate for s'mores.)

    Red again yesterday. Stress eating. Son2 passed out again, but because we had a doctor appointment scheduled, they were able to do an EKG and found the culprit. He is having premature heartbeats. Next up an exercise stress test (to see if exercise is causing it, but it usually happens when he is NOT exercising) and a 30 day event monitor. The cardiologist and I are going to be friends. (Actually, I know Dr. Mahdok and my husband really likes him.)
    13/25 green 4/15 gym.
