    Cleaned out our van Friday- big mistake. The cold air brought back my cold quicker than ever! Grr. Had a good weekend anyway though.

    Happy Valentine's Day. Does anyone have special plans? We don't celebrate it for us but I am having a Valentines Day themed fun day for the kids.

    I did not get back to the gym this weekend due to circumstances I was unable to avoid but back tonight for spin class. I have averaged 5 hours sleep the past 3 nights so hoping to settle into bed around 9 tonight for some catch up, I am glad spin is early so I can come home and relax a bit afterwards. Hope you are all having a great day!

    Me and bf don't celebrate V-day. It's nothing special to us. I'll be making taco's with turkey burger tonight and hopefully working out with daughter before an early bedtime with some nyquill. :laugh: Fun fun fun!

    Woohoo Yollie!

    All signs are pointing to me going back to bed. I forgot to bring up my multi grain Cherrios last night and they are in the pantry downstairs so if I go get them I will wake up the puppy who's crate is close by and not get a peaceful breakfast so I had honey nut (which turns out is too sweet for me now), my almond milk is gone and I forgot to get more so I had to have cows milk- yuck, and I still put blueberries on my cereal and they do not mix with honey nut. Well maybe all signs were pointing to PB and J on toast, but I would rather go back to bed :laugh:

    Hi all ... hope your day is going well. It feels like a new beginning for me. I've been on antibiotics for a couple of weeks and they've wreaked havoc on my intestines. I had my last one yesterday, my sinus infection seems to be gone, I had a few treatments on my feet, and have been fitted for some orthotics. So now ... starting today ... I'm back to a normal healthy eating schedule. The specialist said I won’t do any damage to my feet by exercising so I’ll try a step class DVD tonight. Woo Hoo!!

    Awesome Yolie!!!!!!!

    Momto- Go ahead- go back to bed- you have my permission! :wink: :laugh:

    Blue- I love mine- when I can force myself onto it. Have you checked out Craigslist?? A lot of people bought them for new years resolutions and are gettting rid of them now. :laugh: Really- go check it out! I got mine FREE off there!

    Nessa- I wish!!

    Blue- Thats why I try and exercise so much too, I can't give up the food I love.

    Yea same here. I lost like 40 lbs not exercising but then I didn't have enough calories to eat the food I wanted. :laugh: Had to make a sacrifice somewhere. :laugh:

    Going to the city pool tonight and then Elliptical during Glee later. :bigsmile: Damn girl scout cookies.... :grumble:

    You never know- plus if you have to buy one off CL it's still cheaper. One mans junk is another mans treasure! :wink: We've gotten a lot of stuff off there. Like toys and such for daughter.

    I kicked calorie BUTT yesterday! I don't know what came over me. I was just THERE. :love:

    So bad news though. I lost another bra size. :angry: Had to measure myself and I'm down to a small B. I knew they were swimming in my bra but I was hoping it was because it was a 38C and I needed a 34C or something cool. But no. Bf is taking it much better than expected :laugh: :wink: but I'm not thrilled. :laugh: Gonna go get officially measured soon though. :laugh:

    I was worried about that! hasnt happened yet... and now it will since i said that. LoL.

    So, i did the biggest loser last chance workout last night, and dont know how to put it on here.... any clue?

    and i looked on there, none are close to me. But im still gona look, the one at walmart is almost $300, and some on cl arent too too far away. will have to get jeffs opinion :smile:

    AND OMG

    Mine were a DD when I started. :laugh: C is what I've always been so it stands to reason that I'd lose there- but still. Bleh. :laugh:

    Maybe General aerobics? You need a heart rate monitor. If you get one- get it with the chest strap. I have a Reebok precision. I got it off Ebay for $40. MUCH cheaper than the Polar ones. (Though I hear those are amazing.) I actually got 2 so bf could use one but he doesn't. lmao Punk.

    Yea- if it's cheaper at Walmart or even close- I'd just get a new one. Here they're selling them away like candy!

    AWESOME! I'm so jealous! Bf and I are celebrating 5 years this year so we'll be booking some kind of trip in Nov. I can't WAIT! :love: It doesn't feel like 5 years but then it feels like 10. :laugh:

    Saw the doc yesterday for this chest/head cold since just when I think I’m on the mend it changes its mind...lol... so she prescribed antibiotics since my sinuses might be infected now. Right now I have to sleep sitting up and can’t talk for more than a few minutes at a time or it sets off a severe coughing fit but at least the silver lining is that the Nasonex seems to be working well on the constant inflammation I get in my sinuses and I am not stuffed up to the point where I can’t breathe through my nose. Yay. Take the victories where you can.

    And I finally got my thyroid medication straightened out last week so that is helping with the weight loss now. Double Yay.

    Rambling here now but for some reason I just don’t seem to be able to pronounce the word antibiotics right... it’s so weird. I know how it is pronounced and say right in my head but when I speak it, I say antee-bee-yotics for some reason unless I really concentrate on the word and speak it slowly which I then sound totally whacked to anyone listening to me...lol. Just thought I’d throw that in there for no real reason.

    Take care and I hope everyone is doing well. I will be catching up on posts today since I am off work again.

    Just put our Gazelle up on CL. Realised I haven't touched it for like a year. lol Myabe someone else can get some use out of it and I can get $30 out of it. :wink:

    Datenshi- Hope you are feeling better soon. Maybe call it medication! :smile: :wink:

    Nessa- mine have shrunk to non existent status so be happy with your B. Seriously my 13 years old is bigger than me now :sad:

    Blue- I agree with Nessa, I love my HRM. You may want to try one, it is the best way to determine an accurate burn. Also read reviews on the elliptical from Walmart there are a lot of cheap brands out there. Just because it looks the same doesn't mean it will function the same or have the same life. You may be better with a higher end second hand than a low end first hand.

    I love the people on this site for their words of wisdom and their insight. It was kindly brought to my attention that just because I can't use my feet right now ... I can swim. Why didn't I think of that? I was just too focused on what I couldn't do instead of what I could do. I plan of visiting the pool at my gym soon. Thanks AGAIN to this wonderful site for your help. I love it here. :heart:

    I love this site tooo! So much! :laugh:

    Today should be really nice out so I'm hoping I'll get a lot of energy from the uv rays and such. :laugh: Missed my workout yest because I went to bed at 9. Had a fight with bf and just decided to sleep on it instead of dwell on it. I hate going to bed mad but it was a dooooozy!

    Double workout planned today! Hopefully bf actually does it too. He said he would. :huh:

    Nessa- hope everything works out with you 2, it def sucks to go to bed mad.


    Happy Thursday!!

    Meh- we're over it today. :laugh: It's just frustrating. I suppose it's natural to fight when you live with someone. It's just annoying when I think things should be done one way and since I'm the only one doing it I figure he doesn't really get a choice in it. lmao

    Holy Crap!!! I seriously find it fascinating how quickly one can gain weight but how slowly it seems to go away. I'm up 4 lbs this week. Well earned I must admit. I wasn't even going to report it ... I thought ... just say you stayed the same ... but then who am I fooling? Not admitting something doesn't mean it didn't happen. Here's to a better week this week.
