    So after my size 16 jeans have been falling off of me I finally went to the store to buy a new pair, I got a pair of size 12s!!! I can't remember the last time I wore a size 12. I have been really lazy and off track for the last few weeks and I'm hoping this is the encouragement I need to get back on track!! Awesome work with all of your goals ladies!

    Hahaha, I love that I got everyone on a hair dye kick! :laugh:
  • I love love love it! I am a financial analyst and could NEVER get away with that.

    Serenity - I work for the police, so I know what you mean..... but I bought a couple of purple clip-ins that I wear when i go out, and everyone thinks they're real. I love it!
  • sorry to bring the message boards down a bit... but WHY do i still see a fat cow when i look in the mirror? ugh! got in from a tough run tonight and took a shower. when i got out and looked at myself, well, i just don't see where the weight is coming off.

    BUT on the bright side, i KNOW i'm getting healthier. hell, i'm healthier than i was 2 days ago--the week 4 run was much, well, kinda easier! but i'm just so ready to see a change. i don't know if i ever will until i have some before and afters.

    it sucks to know the positive side, but still feel negative. that reallly sucks.

    but i'm doing good. i have to keep telling myself that.

    sorry for the bi-polar post. lol. but this is the only place i feel comfortable ranting. i :heart: you girls!

    We're practically born with that thought. We've engrained it into our brains for soooo long. It takes a LOT of work to get it out.

    Hell I can see the difference in my pictures and the way I feel and I STILL look in the mirror and think 'GROSS!!!". (It drives my bf crazy!) It's a battle, every morning for me to look at myself and be accepting and happy. It gets easier each day though. :flowerforyou:

    I losed most of my weight over 2 years ago and I still struggle with feeling fat. I get so startled when people tell me I'm thin. Sadly, I think it's one of those things we all have to struggle with, especially if you were heavy growing up. It does get a little easier though.

    KatieKat- Congrats on the 12's! That is awesome.

    Sheila- I have been craving a drastic hair change but I don't want to cut it short. I wish I could dye it some crazy color.

    For real conservative jobs, I usually do my hair a deep burgundy. When you're inside, it looks more like a dark reddish brown, but purple in the sun!!! :)

    So Rach are we going to see a photo of your new do?

    I just had my hair highlighted a week ago and now you girls have me wishing I had of done something fun! The only colour I have not tried and would love to is black or a purple/black. I've had chunks of black underneath but would love to try the Dita look!

    My office is very conservative. Everytime I change my hair colour I get the comments - who's the new girl?

    Live and let live! Freedom of expression!

    You are all giving me the new hair color itch! I might just have to try something crazy! :)
    I need to get on my water today. I've been slacking like crazy! Only 1 down so far this morning.
    On a happy note, I am doing great with C25K! Last night I ran two 10 minute segments. Never thought I'd be able to do that! Trying for a 15 min run on Saturday! Wish me luck!

    The best I could get right now...color is off because it's a cellphone pic. I'll try to get one with my camera tonight. It's a real golden, sunshine yellow, but there's still a lot of orangey tones in it. I'm still undecided.

    Bru - Congrats on your loss!

    numberscolors - Woo Hoo Congrats! Onederland!

    Rach - Love it, you look great as a blonde!

    I'm pretty happy today myself. The scale is finally moving and I'm down 3 lbs.

  • You girls are truly rocking lately! Thanks for all the inspiration. And Rach, I like the color!

    Weekend Challenge

    Ok ladies I'm sure that I am not alone when I say weekends are more challenging than weekdays.

    We set goals for the week so let's set some goals for the weekend.

    I don't drink enough water on the weekends and Saturday is usually my day of no exercise.

    I'm challenging myself to

    Drink at least 10 glasses of water
    Workout Saturday & Sunday

    Does anyone want to join me?

    Karen

    P.S. Reminder weigh in is Monday! :devil:

    My challenge for the weekend will be NOT drinking every night. I am such a lush and it is not good for my waistline.
  • I like the weekend goal idea!

    Since I ordered PIZZA ten minutes ago, my first goal: only healthy food where ever i eat this weekend.

    My fiance and a roommate from last year are coming to town so I know we'll be hanging out a lot. At bars. So goal two: no more than 2 alcoholic beverages Saturday night.

    Goal three: stay water-logged.

    Goal four: have fiance help burn off LOTS of calories!!! :love:
