tamara- Yep things happen and they will. The dinner thing is somethign Ive been struggling with for a long time and usually I just leave alittle less on my plate just in case. I really hate seeing food get thrown away and I can really pack up food that was already cut into little pieces for the kids so I find myself cleaning up the table and just picking at the plates and then next thing I know ive ate the rest of the plate lol. Its easier when my husband is home for dinner cuz I can make him eat it lol.
walking is how I started this. I was forced to walk everywhere when we moved here in march and then next thing I knew I was losing some weight so then I started using sparkpeople (similir to here but here is much easier to manuvuer) and I was half way tracking and then 20 lbs down later I found this site and then I slowed down abit on losing and now im back up at average 2-3 lbs a week but i also upped my exercise to add the bike plus whatever walking we end up getting in during the day. Though I am abit bummed MFP doesnt have an option for pushing a toddler, just an infant and the calories that come up on that are less then when I put in a brisk walk so I just use brisk walk since IM pushing an almost 40 lbs toddler around and sometimes I use the double stroller and push the almost 40lbs 5 year as well lol0 -
Good morning everyone. Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone is off to a great start. I forgot to rest my clock this morning and did not get up and run. I did get my 25 situps/crunches in and also 15 tricep dips. I am also working tonight waiting tables. That is always a good workout. Hopefully I will be as far away from the kitchen as possible. Tomorrow I will definitely get up and workout. I am thinking a 4 mile run before work sounds nice.
I had a fabulous day yesterday. I had the best run ever with Tamara. I know she already told you, but I did run the longest that I ever have and the fastest as well. My normal time for a mile is 12.5 to 13.5 mile pace. Last night was an 11.5 mile pace. I am so proud of that. I just have to keep pushing forward and continue to get stronger and faster. I did 25 crunches and got all my water in. Yesterday was just a good day. I was under on calories too.
Shari - Today is a new day. Buffets are always a dangerous place to go no matter how long you have been doing this. I am proud of you for holding yourself accountable and planning to start fresh today. Keep it up lady.
Marcie - That is awesome about your workout. With determination like you have right now, you will soon see results. It is hard to get motivated to workout sometimes, but once you do it then you feel great.
Deneen - How was weigh in this morning? I hope it was a good one. Let us know how the stroller works out and how you feel afterwards. Start out with small goals and then slowly increase your times. I have to have something to work towards. When I run, I always pick a spot that I want to run to when I start to get tired and I make sure I make it all the way. It gives me soemthing to feel good about, you know.
Jessica - Why do you despise exercise so much? Are you bored with what you are doing? Is there anyway to change it up? Sometimes if the routine gets boring, then we lose the desire to do the workout. Plus if your heart isn't in it, then it isn't always the greatest workout. I used to hate working out. It felt like more of a chore, but now I honestly enjoy it. I don't like the getting up at 4 or 4:30 part, but I know I will feel fantastic once it is done. I love to run outside in the mornings. I am usually out while the stars are still out and I get to see the sky change from night time to morning and it is absolutely beautiful. I try to find the beauty in things when I am running or working out. After a workout, I like to flex and feel how solid my muscles are becoming. It is kind of an instant gratification thing. As far as you home schooling, do not doubt yourself. You made the choice for you and your child for a reason. Put your heart into it and have faith that it will workout. Stick with it for this one year and if it is not something you or your child enjoys, then put her into regular school next year. Find the positive in everything. It is all going to workout. I hope the clouds go away so you can walk and get all your errands done. Good luck.
Gail - It sounds like you had a busy day yesterday. I am happy to hear you are working out with your son. The JROTC workouts will work. My husband did PT and lost 84 pounds to join the Navy. Just stick with it and keep having fun with it.
Tamara - Thanks for pushing me so much. I would not be able to run this way without your encouragement. I really do appreciate you and I value our friendship. Now lets just hope I can run like that again on Thursday before our Friday weigh in. I need to do a 2 a day Thursday and possibly Friday as well. Lets get it girl. Have a good workout with Stephanie.
Today is a great day. I have already done the sit up challenge and I am well on my way to getting my water in.
Today I like how small my waist looks. We have company at work today so we had to dress up. My shirt ties around the waist and it is really showing my true size. I have already been complimented today. It is such a great feeling.
Everyone have a great day and stay positive. Remember eat to live and not live to eat.

Hello! I too am here because of Tamara on the Today Show! My name is Christina and would like to lose (and not find again) 50ish lbs and a total of 70.0
-
Good Morning, all -
Today is weigh in day for me, and.... drum roll, please - (and here comes my positivity, too...) - I am down FIVE pounds. Week 1 down, 5 pounds down. I am very, very pleased. I realize that 5 pounds is likely not too noticeable, since I need to lose 135, but I feel good. From all the water, my skin looks better, and I feel like I am just carrying myself better. I have tried this weight loss "thang" before but this time it just feels right. It's about choices, and I'm going to be making better ones.
Jessica - You are an amazing person - REALLY! I don't know how you do it! Walking everywhere?!?!? You are an inspiration. It seems to be you are doing a fabulous job. In this day and age to take on all the roles you have and to continually lose 2-3 pounds a week - that's great. It sounds like to me - you ARE exercising - it's just not the traditional DVD/Jillian/Denise Austin/Tae-bo way. Believe me - walking 20 minutes with 2-3 kids in tow - is EXERCISE! Congratulations to you on your achievement. As far as the home schooling, like Bobbie said, just try it and If it doesn't work, change it. Life is about changes and you seem to be able to meet with tenacity any change life throws at you. God Bless you and your family.
Bobbie - Yay for you! Again, that is truly inspiring! Even in my thinner days (notice I said thinner and not thin), I wouldn't have dreamed of running miles and miles... Even in my fit days, I ran to get to first base or to catch a pass, not just to run, so I find what you and Tamara do very impressive... My mantra on here has been no excuses, so I think i need to find myself a pair of tennis shoes that will work for me and my post-accident foot issue and give it a shot. Running/Walking and seeing the sun comes up sounds beautiful - even if it takes me 38 minutes to go a mile at first... :laugh:
Tamara - I know I've said inspiring and don't want to over use it, but WOW - how much bigger of an inspiration can we all have than you!??!? Thanks for bringing us here and for showing your support and for just "keeping on" everyday! You are an amazing model of success - I truly hope to join you someday.
Shari - Thanks for all the positive notes. You are a beautiful person inside and out and thank you for pointing out "life". We all encounter our "buffets" in life and it sounds like you did a fabulous job of making good choices. Thanks for keeping a positive spirit and for all the kind words and enthusiasm... :flowerforyou:
Well, I've rambled on enough so.... I'll close with - wish me luck - tonite is a big challenge for me. I'm meeting my since high school girlfriends for what is usually lots of fattening food and drinks plus we're going to a place that serves these AMAZING french fries and I'm looking forward to making good choices. As one gentleman pointed out on here somewhere - "go ahead - eat the fries, but once you realize just how much they "cost" you realize what a better choice may be..." I'm paraphrasing, but you get the gist.
happy tuesday, ladies and gents -
Thanks to you all.
Deneen0 -
bobbie- you know I really dont have any one big reason for not liking exercise and it sounds so silly. I just dont like the sweating, which I do easily even when I was smaller, and the out of breath and the sore feeling right after. I dont know what it is, It probably is a mind thing and I definately need to work on the way I think and everything.
as for homeschooling I am taking ti one year at a time or at first it was half year at a time because I know I can always chose something else. I just again have this problem with overthinking things and self doubt. It goes in spirts. Thats probably why in school I was a horrible test taker lol.
deneen- your post really makes me smile and I really never thought of it that way. It was just a gotta do those things kinda thing, if that makes sense. So anyways here is to a much much better day and the drk clouds are still outside BUT Im not letting them stop me today like i did yesterday. Alittle rain wont hurt us if we are stuck in it.

Good morning all!
Deneen, I hope your girls night out goes better (food-wise) than mine. Just have a realistic plan and try your best to stick with it. Then learn from any mistakes. We need to figure out how to live in the real world and still get and stay thin.
Gail, that is so awesome that your 16 yr old son would work out with you. I'm actually quite close to my 19 yr old son, but I just assumed he would never want to work out with me. I will have to ask him!
Jessica, Lol, I need to warn you of something with homeschooling.... You will have self doubt about it all the years you do it, and that is normal! I'd suggest finding homeschool groups to join in addition to your charter school group. Just google homeschool support groups for your state. We (WA) have a couple big state wide groups with local chapters and activities, plus numerous informal fun groups with play days, field trips, coops, etc. Also, keep in mind that young children don't really need a lot of formal education. Until my son hit 6th grade (!) we were what are called "un-schoolers." (you can google that too) True un-schoolers have no curriculum but just live life and learn anything they are interested in (and end up doing just as well as schooled kids). I was what I called a "math and phonics" un-schooler. Every day we did workbook math, a phonics lesson, and reading. Everything else was unstructured. We went to the library weekly, tons of field trips, educational tv, etc. My son was very interested in sciencey stuff, so we frequently went to the science center and he was always reading things like the space encyclopedias and nature books. Well guess what? With no science curriculum at all, and me not "teaching" him one thing about science, he consistently scored at the highest percentile in science on standardized tests. He knew way more than most kids his age who had been "taught" science in school. From 6th grade on we did online distance learning like you. As I said before my son made it into an excellent university, so it works!
Marcie, just a shout out here to give you additional encouragement after your (disappointing to you) weigh-in Monday. Just keep on truckin'! This is for the long haul and we are all in it together. We can do it!
Marcie and Bobbie, thanks for the encouragement and inspiration!
Today I volunteer as an ESL classroom assistant at an immigrant center. I really enjoy that. I will do my 25 sit ups before I shower to go.
Something positive about me - I am making the effort to grow and improve instead of living in a rut. I'm proud of that!
Oh, suggestion to all - you can put your name in your signature block. It works well and you don't have to try to remember to sign your name. If you have not made a signature block before, click on "community" at the top, then "signature" in the blue words under "Message Boards" and above "Topic".0 -
A couple days off the boards and look at all I missed! Some amazing stories here. I'm still struggling on incorporating the exercise bit into my long days.... excuses I know but seriously I hate the idea of giving up the little sleep i get. Gonna keep working on it, I know i'll figure it out once i really put my mind to it. I need to figure out something I really like and then it wont be something i wanna put off. ( i know its important but being honest here)
Sit ups? okay I can squeeze those in while the coffee brews
Lets see, I've always liked my eyes they are a neat shade of blue/green. Other than that, i'm pretty smart and can usually figure something out once i've put my mind to it. =D (hehe guess i need to put my mind to liking exercise eh?)
Homeschooling is something I really wish I had done with my son, kudos to all of you who are doing it.

Welcome Christina! Just jump right in...you have come to the right place. We are here for support and encouragement.0

shari- I am very familiar with the different forms of homeschooling, which is why it irks me when ppl say that the charter school is not homeschooling. Its one of those words that the meaning gets distorted like the word diet. We are doing school at home so hense its homeschool right lol. Anyways I am an over thinker and so it took me 2 years to decide what to do about school. I always make a decision and then decide maybe its not the right one and go back and forth. I was all for sending her to school and even picked out a pre k, because my thinking was that I didnt want her to miss out on the cool things they do at school that we cant afford to do here. But then I saw the free charter school and it got me thinking about that, and at the same time we had moved out of the wonderful school district we were in and so there goes prek i picked out and everything. We moved again in march and this is a nice school district and everything I just decided that I was not ready to be apart from her. SHes never even had a sitter, not even grandmas (which my mom complains abut all the time). So I then started my search on tradition homeschool and the online school. I then realized that tradition homeschooling would cost me nothing except a printer which isnt expensive anyways. So it was more back and forth deciding lol my lovely husband is too supportive and just said whatever I chose would be perfect lol NICE. I ultimately chose online school because they do field trips and get together and being new in teh area My daughter has no friends and I do think its important for her to learn how to play with other girls and develope friendships . I am apart of a few online homeschool groups for our area BUT im finding that they are very judgemental and closed minded to the online school and pretty much tell me Ive made a horrible mistake. Howeever I found a mom who is doing the online school as well who lives very close nad her daughter and my daughter share a birthday. Alivia (my daughter) is 2 hours older so Im hoping we can meet up alot to play.
I just got in my walk. I aparently was gone for 2 hours but some of that was wlaking around walmart so Im just put in the brisk hour walk and the half hour as lesuirely though I was briskly walking alittle while shopping and Although I wasnt sitting that long at the WIC office I figured I would rather over estimate then underestimate. Anyways pretty good and my legs are sore but I feel great and we still need to walk the alittle less then 10 minutes to the library in a few. WHEW my daughter is not happy about this lol0 -
Just a quick shout out to all.. I have had a very busy day today, havent been on computer but a few times.. My house is clean the laundry is done dishes are done got a great workout in with trainer and she made me do 200 sit up so I didnt do my 25 at home..I will be feeling it tomorrow. Did home work with big ole first grader..
Now I am cooking my kids and hubbie home made meatballs and spaghetti I already ate dinner so it does not effect me anymore.. It used to let me just tell you.
Jessica- Good job for getting your walk in
Marcie- You are right this is the right place, we need to stay strong we all need each other.
Shannon- Great idea to get sit up done while coffee brews, but I set my coffee pot to come on at 310 since I get up at 315 am, so I would have to do them in bed..LOL But really like your attitude on finding a way to get them in..
Shari- Great idea on having people putting there name in signature box.
Bobbie- Make awesome money tonight and rest well.. You have a workout bright and early!!!
My postive for the day is I felt awesome and pretty in my workout clothes today..
Well off to start noodles and sauce.. I hope everyone who weighs in in the morning has an awesome weigh in, I weigh in on friday then eat what I want within reason friday for dinner after I burn 1300 calories...
And if I dont get back on here before bed..Good night ya'll I have to go to JcPennys and buy new work shirts..since I havent done it yet.. I know I keep saying it..I am working off one work shirt but only work 4 days..2 days on..2 days off...2 days on..1 day off.. pretty awesome schedule if you ask me!!0 -
My private dog training lesson ended up being 2 hours, and was pretty stressful with all that attention focused on me and my dog.. I came home exhausted and hungry, but I took the time to cut up a cantaloupe instead of grabbing something quick and junky. Yay!
Tamara, thanks for the support.
My eating is great today, and I might even do my c25k a day early when it cools off a bit.
Shari.0 -

Good morning MFP buddies,

My ankle is hurting. I hope it gets better so I can do my W2 D1 of C25K today. Well got to start getting kids up for school.
Have a good day everyone!0 -

I did weight before breakfast but I always wait to post untill I wiegh before my shower because altoa times I get a much better number before my shower so heres hoping lol0

Good Morning all -
Well back at it... Last night's "dinner with the girls" did not go too well... HOWEVER, I planned that going in and only ate a small (healthy) snack and half of an apple... The restaurant - known for its absolutely HUGE portions - did not have a lot of healthy options - even the salads seemed fattening. PLUS, somehow, my "DH" (note the sarcasm) was not incredibly supportive and somehow I once again let emotional eating take over - Dagnabit!!!! :grumble: That WILL stop! I was over just a bit for my calories and (although I'm not supposed to) stepped on the scale and found I had not gained - THANK GOODNESS...
I knew what I was doing going in and today I woke up with a new attitude. I have a DRESS on for the first time in like FOREVER and am holding my head up high. My own daughter didn't know what to make of me with pantyhose/stockings on - I don't think she's ever seen me in a dress and hose... :laugh:
We have a catered lunch at work today and I'm going to make smart choices. And like Shari said - you have to live and make decisions each and every day. If you "cheat", then move on and do something to adjust. Walk more, eat less, etc. I'm very, very pleased with my choice to become apart of MFP and can't tell you how much all the words of wisdom and support from everyone has made a difference in a short time!
This time is for life -
SItups and a long walk on tap for tonight - have to show another 3-4 pounds next week, too...
Thought for the day - I will no longer allow someone else's nastiness cause me to do bad things to myself...
What I like about me today - hmmmmm, hmmmmmm, that's very hard, but let's go with.... well, it isn't my hair (ick poo, today) so I'll say my eyes - they look a very pretty blue today..
happy wednesday...
Deneen
P.S. - Tamara - I like the new photo... :flowerforyou:0 -
Good morning everyone. Sorry I am on later than usual. Work was crazy yesterday and again when I came in this morning. I have 2 jobs. One is in an office and the other one is waiting tables. I was as far away from the kitchen last night as I could be and I walked super fast to make up for my missed workout yesterday.
I got up at 4 AM this morning and decided to do Jillian's No More Trouble Zones. I want to make sure I focus on the toning. I could do cardio everyday, but I really need to do the toning video a couple times a week. Right now I make sure I do it once a week. So my next goal is to get that in twice a week. I had a fantastic workout though. She kicks my butt everytime! When it was over, I did my 25 crunches and then jogged around the house for 6 minutes. I wanted to make sure I got in a solid hour of working out today. Now I am at work and I am working both jobs today. I will get more walking in at work tonight so I am set with exercise. My food journal is complete and under calories and I am already done with half my water. I am feeling fabulous today!
Marcie - I hope your ankle stops hurting soon. How did you get your hair cut? Do you have a new picture to post?
Jessica - I hate situps/crunches. My belly definitely needs some toning, but those are my least favorite exercise. Good luck starting home schooling with your daughter today. You both will do great!
Shari - I am very proud of you for not letting the stress from dog training ruin your day. That is awesome. I don't like it when all eyes are on me either. It definitely stresses me out and I get hot and flustered. If you have to take the time to cook or make something, then most of the time you will make smarter choices and eat less. Very impressive.
Tamara - Thanks girl. I made pretty good money last night. I even got up on time this morning and had a great workout. I didn't hit the snooze button once! I was ready for the day. Let's have another great one. I am glad you enjoyed the grapenute with Almond milk too.
Deneen - I am very impressed with your positive attitude this morning. Keep that up lady! It is nice to hear that you are in a dress and holding your head up high. A positive attitude can go such a long way. Always carry yourself with pride. I hope all goes well with the box lunches at work today. I understand the pressures of being in an office. My office likes to eat out at least once a week. If they go somewhere that I cannot eat, then I opt not to eat with them. I don't let what they want effect how I will treat myself. I also keep groceries here as a back up plan. I am here more than I am at home. I have a healthy snack drawer and I keep stuff int he fridge and pantry. We have a full kitchen as our breakroom. If you can keep healthy options at work, then definitely do it. Again good luck and keep it up.
Does everyone see how far positivity can go? If we look at ourselves and find something that we like, it makes you feel better and gives you more pride. Everyone can see that and it is an awesome feeling. Keep up the fantastic work. Together we can do this! I hope everyone has a great day
Today I looked in the mirror and felt really pretty. I am rocking jeans, a t-shirt, and flip flops, but I still feel really pretty. It is a very nice feeling to have! :happy:

You are a wonderful inspiration - I can see your smile from here

Marcie - I hope your ankle stops hurting soon. How did you get your hair cut? Do you have a new picture to post?
Bobbie, I cut it in a short bob style. Now I just need to go get some color in it to get rid of the white. I hate pictures of myself, but I have posted one just for you. :happy:
I also want everyone to know how much I loook forward to reading everyone's updates. I love all of the positive bibe I get here. Just to realize I'm not the only one that has the same feelings about losing weight helps me keep going forward.
Something positive about me today....this is soooo hard for me.....Even though I'm getting wrinkled up faster than I want to....I like my clear and blemish free skin. Wow that was hard to write! :blushing:0 -
OK so I weighed and not what I was looking for but something. Normally I will weigh before breakfast and then a few hours after I wiegh before hopping in the shower. Well with school I didnt get to shower untill after lunch so of course it was higher then this morning so I guess I have to take the 1ish lb from this morning as my wiegh in.

Good morning, everyone! I feel sooo positive today! After the casino buffet fiasco monday nite, I was super good all day yesterday (tues). This morning I took a peek a the scale and I'm back to where I was before the buffet! Yay! That means that the rest of my week can be spent actually losing more weight, not just overcoming the buffet gain.
I do have to say I'm quite proud of myself for the immediate (!) turnaround after my bad night. Deneen, YOU TOOO!! Wow, what a difference it makes to immediately forgive yourself and start fresh, instead of getting depressed and going into a downward spiral that is very hard to pull out of. This is a whole new skill for me! In the past I would either have negative emotions which would trigger more eating to relieve the pain, or I would go into denial and "put off" recovery until "next monday", thereby furthering the damage done. The "immediate recovery" method is actually quite painless. And it gives you confidence that you can succeed in real life with the rest of the world.
Tamara, I love almond milk. I use that in my lattes every morning. The protein is not as high as cows milk, but I like the flavor in my lattes, and I feel good knowing it is organic and plant-based.
Jessica, happy first day of school. Be sure to take some pictures. Another fun thing is to record some snippets for posterity. I audio-taped a bit of our first day and it is hilarious! In it I'm all enthusiastic and my son is not, lol. I'm saying, "Isn't that interesting!?" And he says "No. it's not." And I say in a fakey excited voice, "Oh, but it is!" He deadpans, "Not really." My family still mimicks that, lol!
Deneen, great positive attitude with the dress and heels! Wow, that inspires me! I am trying to do little things to improve my appearance. Yesterday I whitened my teeth! I have been doing really well every night this week with my evening routine. Instead of just flopping into bed, I've been brushing and flossing my teeth and wearing my nightguard, plus cleansing and moisterizing my face. I think this was all spurred by Tamara insisting we say a positive, and my first one was that I like my skin on my face. I guess since I value it, I should take care of it.
My positive for today is that I like my smile. OK, this is pretty big because I used to hate my smile. My mouth is small and my teeth are small, so my smile isn't big and bright. Plus my smile does not come up to points, it is more of an oval. BUT NOW I have decided I DO like my smile and I'll tell you why: Because I am a very happy and friendly person and my smile is what communicates that to the world. I have a ready smile, I smile at everyone, and my smile is ME!
I actually forgot to do my situps yesterday, so I will do 2 sets of 25 today. Plus today is my c25k day. Oooo I forgot to tell you that the dog trainer helped me train my dog to run/walk very nicely right beside me so she can do the c25k program with me. This is the younger larger dog. The other little guy is 11 and has a heart murmur. Haha, all your talk about strollers gave me the idea to put the little dog in a stroller!
Great thread. I love all you guys!0 -
I just finished my c25k, did 100 abdominal reps, including 50 sit ups, and stretched. Ate 1/2 cantaloupe, drinking water, all is well!
Marcie! I LOVE your new haircut!0 -
sheri - i did take some pics but it was hard since I had to use my digi video cam for pics since DH has my cam in my van. Oh It wasnt very exciting lol and numberous times today Alivia has said "this is boring" we wizzed thru nthree days of math since its stupid shapes and uhh shouldnt these 5 year old already have shapes down. Anyways yea and then the online school went down and so she keeps saying "can we do more can we do more" and of course Im like uhh I dunno what to do with out the online log in lol0
-
Jessica, lol your first day of school!
Ladies, I just LOVE eating 1/2 chilled cantaloupe whenever I am tired, hungry, thirsty, stressed, whatever. It is like magic! So refreshing, uplifting, filling, and satisfying! I cut it into small cubes and eat out of a bowl with a fork. Mmmhmmm...0 -
Good afternoon and early evening everyone, I have had a fabulous day today, changed up my food and feeling amazing!!
Went to dr today I started taking supplement about a month ago and based on a test he does for you he puts you on supplement based on what the test reads, well today I went back for m y re-test and lets just say my friends, I am doing awesome..
My positive today is I feel skinny, I feel amazing..
Well just ate dinner gonna go spend time with hubby and kiddos before hubbie heads off to a meeting which I will be in bed before he gets home 315 am comes mighty early..
Jessica_ I give you credit I couldnt home school my children!!
Deneen,_good job on wearing something different I know it helps with self esteem
Bobbie_ I am so proud of you the next 7 days will com eby supe fast, and be ready for our run tomorrow, we are gonna run like the ****ens!!!
Shari- I am glad you puppy doggie can go running with you, I wish my could but I would end up carrying him, he is a 12 yr old pomerinan!! LOL
Well everyone if I dont post again tonight know I am doing my crunches now and spending time with my loved ones!!!0 -
Tamara, I am actually looking at a used jogging stroller to put my small old dog in. He has a heart murmur and gets overheated easily. Then I can push him on the walk/jogs while the healthy dog runs beside me.
I saw a lady today pushing her two cats in a little cage stroller she bought at WalkKitty. (They are $200 though. I can get a used jogging stroller for about $40-$60.)
I am eating very tasty healthy peach mango salsa generously scooped onto a small amount of no-salt organic blue corn tortilla chips.0 -
OK so Ive been thinking about ym positive for all week now. I was walking to get dinner (arbys hahaha) and Ive never been one to look in the window reflection of myself untilll recently and I did notice (although this shirt is very form fitting and I have a hang over gut ) I think I look a ton smaller and I feel much small. Ever since having kids Ive always just pull me hair up in a pony tale which looks horrible but it added to my tshirt and jeans or stretch pants lol. I had very long hair for a long time. Donated it in feb 2008 after my son was born ins 2007 because having a 2 year old a newborn was hard enough to keep up with let alone my hair. So then I never got it cuta fter that so it got jhust as long as before and I donated it again in march or april (cant remember). Well it being so hot ive still just pulled it back in a pony. Its been cooler out and so Ive been straightening it and wearing it down and the first day last week I did notice how much thinner my face looks. Of cour my husband tells me all the time how much slimer my face looks but i just ignored him. So today Im having a great hair day!
I ate alittle to much at arbys. Again finished my sons food, next time Im just gonna get the kids food and just eat whatever isleft lol. So Im not gonna get upset im jsut gonna make sure to jump on the bike tonight when they get to bed and do my sit ups and a big MAYBE check out some on demand fitness. Gotta work it off though the sodium is what really killed me. Im still within my calories0 -
Jessica, interesting hair story, and I'm glad you are feeling good about your appearance!
Tonight I am meeting a lady to buy her jogging stroller for $45. I'm gonna put my little old heart-murmur doggie in it for my runs so he doesn't miss out on the fun that my other dog and I are having. Haha, now to train my other dog to run alongside me with that stroller there! not to mention training the little old man to stay nicely in the stroller, but I'm gonna clip him in with a harness or something. Fun projects ahead! I will keep you informed. This might require a picture if I pull it off!0 -
