  • Yay for all the losses already! Way to go everyone.

    I'm checking in at 167.4 this week. So. close. to. "healthy." 166.9 will put me in the healthy spot. I so go this - next Friday I better be doing a healthy body weight happy dance!

    Amy, look at you and your big old loss and being able to walk the dogs again. She's back baby! I was thinking we should totally coordinate our P90X2 efforts so we can be doing the same workouts on the same days, as I will totally be preordering that the day it comes out. I'm so effing excited for it. I love that it will be 5 days of Dr. Horton and then 2 days to run/bike/(cough cough)drink(cough cough).

    Victoria, I ran 8.3 miles today! I was supposed to run it tomorrow, but we are spending the night in Detroit and then going to a friend's house on Sunday, so I did my long run today and then I'll rest tomorrow and have a short run on Sunday. It took me an hour and 29 minutes, and halfway through the run it started to POUR and get all windy and crazy - I'm talkin' debris flying at my face windy. But I didn't stop. For some reason, I really wanted to tell you that I had completed the run - I actually thought about you while I was out there in the thick of it!

    Megan, good riddance to those couple of pounds! Yay you! And I agree with everyone else, maybe new guy is fighting for you!

    Katie, hi hun! Thanks for weighing in!

    Rikki, sometimes food just wins. Its best to just move on from it and do better the next day. We've ALL been there.

    Crap that's all I can see. Lacey, I'm super glad that post got removed and justice was served. (Sarah, it was you that reported it, right? Nice work!)

    Prayers for all the sick puppies out there!

    I have a total case of "its Friday and I have been busting my @ss all week and I'm done now"-itis. You can look it up, I'm sure its a real disease. I'm pretty sure the only thing that will cure it is leaving work early and then going to a baseball game. PLUS Michigan Brewing Company (MBC) released their Pumpkin Ale yesterday, so Chris and I are gonna stop there on our way to Detroit to have one. Pumpkin beers are my absolute favorite, as is fall and everything about it - baseball playoffs, football, donuts, cider, light jackets and hooded sweatshirts, the sound of leaves crunching under your feet, Halloween... all good things. I know this calls back to a conversation from much earlier, but I somehow never was a part of it (my own fault). Halloween is awesome. I'm not so much a dresser-upper, but every year we go to my parents house, and my mom seriously goes all out with decorations and makes an absurd amound of awesome food like pulled pork and stuffed grape leaves and all my favorite dips and desserts and such. Then we go to a pumpkin patch and do all the cheesy stuff we can, like hayrides and apple slingshots and haunted houses. Then my dad spends about $200 on pumpkins and we go home, watch Hocus Pocus, and spend HOURS carving pumpkins. Mom lays down a tarp on the living room floor and we just cover it in pumpkin guts. She also has about a 2 foot stack of the stencil books for pumpkin carving, so our pumpkins are always really super awesome. Its amazing. My parents could care less if I came home for Thanksgiving or Christmas, but if I'm not there for pumpkin carving, there would be hell to pay.

    So there's my ramble for you lovely ladies today.

    I know we say it all the time, but I am SO happy I found you guys. You have made this whole weight loss journey thing into something that I enjoy, partly because I get to share it with such amazing people. So thanks for just bein' you. :flowerforyou: :heart: :drinker:

    Until I saw all of the weigh-ins on here, I completely forgot today was Friday...this week has been dragging!

    Today's weight: 318.4 I really need to get a hold on the trigger for this whole fluctuation thing. Anyway, if I can lose this month like I did last month, I will be under 300 before October...I'm working on it!

    Kerry: I love your Halloween tradition. Ours has always been haunted houses, just about every weekend, starting Sept 30. This is the first year that I won't have my girls with me every weekend to make those trips, so I'm going to have to talk some new people in to going with me.

    Amy: I'm glad to hear that you are finally able to get up and out...I know being cooped in the house totally sucks!!

    Sarah-WnT-Mellie had another "large" one last night. Guess it makes more sense that the specialist wants us to give her the Miralax for a month once her hiney heals to get her all regulated. And I still get to give her the fiber the whole time, so this should be interesting. But on a good note...her bottom is almost 100% again! No redness or spots, but I'm sure the skin is still sensitive, so she's still iffy about being wiped off. But at least the end is in sight! Debt free is awesome! We've been that way for quite some time, but we don't make enough to get ahead either. We're paycheck to paycheck w/out the debt, so middle of the road. :o) Enjoy the house! I know how you feel! Mine only has 2 acres, but the house on it is a good start to what I want, so adding on is good enough for me. *hugs* And I've never been on one, but everyone I know says Disney cruises are awesome! There's the option of letting your kids do their own activity while you have a pager that matches a wrist band they wear...so you can relax!! Of course, I'm not a Disney nut or anything...not at all. Nope. :-D

    Pam-have a good trip!!

    Amy-though weird, glad it wasn't as bad as normal! And I wish Casey had some of Gabe's drive. He LOVES soccer, but doesn't want to practice...so drives me bonkers. But he's naturally good, so he succeeds when he plays, so makes it hard for me to tell him practice is needed to be really good. Gives me my own headache somedays! Yay for puppy walking!

    Lacey-stinks that someone would post something so awful like that! Those are the people that keep me in work! Thanks to Sarah for getting rid of it!

    Kerry-I'm with you, running while holding something just feels wrong! I'm gonna have to get me a camelback if I ever get to where I'm going farther than my piddly 2 miles. Maybe if I get to where the entire 2 miles is running? LOL! Awesome weigh in!! And I have that same Friday issue!! Doesn't help that the boss is in a class for part of the day & she was a regular biatchy type person yesterday. :o)

    Victoria-we have papers, but our actual closing is set for Sept 22...if we can't speed the process up any, which I'm hoping for, as I don't want to have to use my 3rd Sept check (one of those that no insurance comes out of so it's BIG) to pay another month's rent!

    Megan-I vote that it's cool he's fighting for you! But you gotta go with what you know will make you happy. :o) And wow on 206!! Onederland in sight! Woo hoo!!

    Rikki-I'm a nacho addict. I'd have a hard time too. And I HATE throwing food away. You kept those, but ditched the cake...so look for the good thing you did! You're not an idiot! An idiot wouldn't realize it wasn't a good choice! You do! So on to the next meal! *hugs*

    Katie-*hugs*

    And I think I got everyone! Yay! Progress!!

    217.5 today!! Woo hoo!! And that will be my weigh in, as I won't be near a scale til Tuesday! Though I'll check Tuesday to make sure I wasn't too bad over the weekend, which I will spend packing. And packing, did I mention packing? :o) *hugs*

    Bobbie - I am completely confident that you will break that 300 mark by October, you are so very close!

    Kerry - WOW that is SO cool about your family's halloween tradition! I keep telling Jeff we need to make some of our own traditions through out the year instead of doing what our families want us to do or have to hit three freaking places up on Christmas. One of these days! We do carve pumpkins at home and go trick or treating. My bff wants us to come up and go to the Portland Zoo for trick or treating over halloween weekend so we might do that..it would be fun.

    Amy - YEAY for being under 190! And double yeay for walking the pooches! Mom and I were looking online at bulldog puppies last night for some random reason, Gawd are they cute! And expensive!! That is cool Gabe has some goals set at his age, kids need that. Hopefully the hubs will do okay coaching lol.

    Rikki - maintaining is okay, means you aren't gaining. What are you going to do about it today? Toss the stuff? Go for an extra long walk? YOu got this girl!

    Katie - yeay! So glad to see you post, even if its just one line :0)

    Megan - wooohooo for the loss!

    Victoria - I have customers in Alaska that I talk to all the time, but they are at mines and somehow I doubt you wanna see those lol. Cruises freak me out for some reason, its those damn movies I watched..Posidon or something where the cruise ships flip. yeah. Yeay for three days off!!

    Annette - Yeay for your dog being back and on the mend. Glad to hear you are picking up running again.

    Karen - going back a ways...I use a piece of paper to do essentially the same thing for menu making. Top is the grocery list, bottom is my menu and I go through my kitchen before I make my list.

    As for me..Thank God its FRIDAY! And a three day weekend. I've officially hit my pre-trip stride and things are quickly ramping up at work. It will be hard for me to respond to everyone over the next two weeks, well month actually right? I started making a list of things I need to do/get both at home and at work so I can start getting it together in my mind here. I feel like I've been all over the place the past few weeks in my mind and its time to focus in or I will be totally screwed when I leave.

    Goals for the long weekend:
    1. Go walking tonight and at least twice more over the three days.
    2. Log all food and eat healthily so Monday/Tuesday I can step on the scale for a much needed weigh in.
    3. Get the suitcase out I want to use, pack it and make sure all my stuff I want to bring will fit.

    Like Kendal I've been thinking off and on what I did initially to lose weight so I can go back to that. I did lose 15 lbs or so doing Weight Watchers and using thedailyplate.com (similar to mfp) over a matter of two years. I worked out, but more concentrated on food. Using WW was a painstakingly SLOW process. Using their points system and being absolutely perfect on it for 6 months, I lost 6 lbs. The women at the meetings couldn't figure out why I wasn't losing more. When I switched to TDP I realized I was probably not eating enough using WW. Somehow I managed to lose another 8-10 lbs using TDP in a year. So I've been at this for 3-4 years now since I think I've been on here nearly 2. Something must be wrong with my thinking or my body. At any rate. When I read stories about people being successful what I see is that most in the beginning started out with a little walking and tracking cals and slowly added from there. I've always been so gun-ho about having to change everything all at once. Must Exercise a ton each week! Must eat healthy all the time! I wonder if I do too much and shock my body so it holds on to everything? I don't know. I've weighed around 200 for a really really long time - like since my early 20's. Does my body just like this weight? I know 200 seems to be the mark that people who have been super successful losing weight have a hard time and seem to fluctuate for a while until they can push their bodies over that precipice.
    So my physical appt is a week from today and I'm excited to go and get all the testing done..and I am going to use the time in Europe to completely step away from weight loss stuff. Two weeks of just not thinking about it if I can help it. Clear the mind, clear the body, etc. And when I come back, I will start wearing my bodymedia fit on my arm and eating well and walking/running with a bit of p90x in there and make it work for me.

    Karen would the bank at least let you put your boxes in the garage so you can get out of your current house until they officially let you move in? So you could stay wth your mom for a few days until the house is yours and not have to pay rent?

    Lacey: I have had the same problem with the weight loss being ridiculously slow. Now that I'm back to losing weight regularly, I think that maybe I was doing too much exercise and not eating enough food. I'm going to be really careful about eating enough quality food when I get back to doing intense exercise again.

    Karen: Gabe didn't really get the drive to practice until he ran into a kid who was better at soccer than he is (Gabe's been playing for a few years and this is the first kid who gave him a run for his money and he DID NOT like the feeling). So now he's hardcore.

    Bobbie: I seriously LOVE haunted houses!!!!

    Kerry: I am all kinds of all over doing P90X2 WITH you!!!! That sounds totally awesome!!!! I also LOVE your Halloween family tradition and I totally want to crash your Halloween.

    Amy - when I got divorced from #1 and moved back to my hometown I started going to the gym and worked out for maybe 45 minutes three or four times a week. I was drinking slim fasts for breakfast and maybe lunch for convenience because I'd just started college and then eating whatever for dinner - which was probably huge amounts of food considering I was eating at my parents house and I lost 20 lbs. I didn't weigh myself and I didn't count calories or worry about what I ate.
    This was when I was 25 and prekid so not sure if it would be different now.

    There are those who say that when doing P90X you really should eat at maintenance..and I am seriously starting to believe they are right. Even if you are working out for over 45 minutes a day more than 4 days a week this might have some truth to it.

    Lacey: I think you're right about the eating more calories while doing P90X but I really don't "get it" as both my HRM and my BMF don't say that I burn that many calories doing the workouts. I think they are more anaerobic than aerobic. That said, they build muscle like a mofo, which burns more calories through out the day so maybe that's what I'm not taking into account. I gotta figure it out before I start P90X2 though.
  • Laceylala
    Laceylala Posts: 3,094 Member
    I think its like HIIT training - the oxygen gets into your blood and muscles and fat and makes the Vo2max (whatever the F that is) increase which burns fat and gains muscle...so you have to take into account your total daily cal burn I guess and increase what you eat like a mofo.

    Amy-unfortunately, Casey isn't super competative either. He's OK with not being the best, as long as he has fun. I guess I should be happy with that. And most of the time, I am, but I know he's some day going to drive his wife just as bananas as his dad drives me, b/c that's where he gets it. LOL! He's OK with being just good enough to get by. On EVERYTHING! Thus the barely above minimum wage job with no benefits. If he applies for a better one...it's b/c I HOUND him about it, or b/c I've recently had a breakdown over not having enough money (which happens about twice a year). There's a fine line between easygoing & lazy, and I'm thinking my hubby is on the wrong side most days. *sigh*

    Lacey-I'm hoping that b/c we paid our landlord a full May's rent when he tried to let us only do half (due to flood & not being able to live at home for 2 weeks) that he'll kinda let it slide if we're not out by Oct 1st on the dot. :o) He's a deacon at our church & I've known him for 20 years, so I'm not too worried that he'll be a butt-head about it.

    And sometimes I HATE my job & the info I find out! Apparently, a home down the road that was being rented, had been rented to a sex offender. BUT, when it flooded back in May, he moved out & didn't move back in. I only found this out, b/c he didn't report his NEW address, so he got arrested for non-compliance. And I'm talking the next house down the road, not some distant obscure in the neighborhood house! Kinda creeped me out, even if he is already gone!! One of these days I'm gonna wrap my kids in bubble wrap, lock 'em in a padded room & throw away the key. That'll keep 'em safe, right? :o)

    Oh, cool, I flipped it!!
  • Laceylala
    Laceylala Posts: 3,094 Member
    Yeay Flipped Thread!!

    Karen - I love my husband but he is the same way. When I met him, he was 27 years old and had only just worked one full time in his adult life. He flitted around job after job, school, etc. for years. He's held this job for five plus years now and I am super proud of him for it, he makes fairly good money but he HATES it. I've encouraged him to find another job, but he has a certain amount of money he needs to make in order for us to keep the house. He wanted to keep the house, not me, so he's got to do his part now.
    Last night we talked about accepting any job to get out of there that pays decent enough money and look for The Job as he can..but I think he finds the whole application process daunting and he isnt proactive about it, so there he sits in a job he hates..and since I applied for him this job online, I'm not doing it again. So I totally understand what you mean.
    I've never ever been competitive in sports or anything my whole life. I wasn't raised around sports at all though. However, I know what I want out of my life, to travel and to see the world and to be comfortable when I retire so I am driven to make good money to do it. And I am pushing Gracie to be more. If at the end of the day all she chooses to do is to make enough money to live and be happy thats fine, but I'm setting the expectations high.

    Thats so scarey and ICK about the sex offender. How accurate are those online sites that show where those people live?


    On another note, I am still wanting to eat and eat and eat. Its this urge I have and its driving me insane. Because I'm not super hungry and nothing really sounds good.

    Bumpitty bump....

    You girls sure are chatty. Well, its Friday, grocery night. Need to figure out someplace decent to go for dinner tonight. Help!! I really want Mexican, but my husband hates it. He wants pizza, which I hate. Seems we are at an impasse. As usual.

    We have a wedding tomorrow, and I'm majorly stressing about what I should wear. I would like to ditch grocery shopping tonight and go dress shopping instead!
  • all kinds of bumpin' happening!

    P90X2 preordered! Woot! And now I'm off buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks! (aka I'm going to a ballgame. I will eat sunflower seeds and drink overpriced Miller Lights. It will be majestic.)

    xoxo

    Rain: I would seriously KILL for some Mexican food. The Europeans don't do Mexican food. But I love pizza too. We had homemade pizzas for dinner tonight.

    Karen & Lacey: The Hubbs is not as driven as I am. He tends to do enough to just get by unless he's motivated by other reasons. He currently LOVES his assignment here so he does a lot of extra stuff for it. His previous assignments he hated and just did the bare minimum to not get in trouble. It's so the opposite of me that I could scream sometimes. I am a do 100% your best effort every time kind of guy. The Kid inherited my drive and it drives The Hubbs absolutely bat-poop insane. (It cracks me up though)

    I'm proud of me. I've been studying for my finals despite really not feeling it. Yay for being responsible.

    Ugggg! I had this whole page typed up and then when I hit send....it was closed!

    So to recap: I wasn't calling myself and idiot as much as I was quoting Nepolean Dynomite. (love that movie)


    Then I went on and on about throwing out all the garbage in the fridge this weekend. Along with all of the clothes that do not fit and I don't ware.

    I am going to make more of my evenings and maybe even open that 30DS I bought over a year ago and it's still in the package....in addition to my gym goings! (which I've slacked on this week.) Why? Well, my husband is rarely home the same time I am, and I've actually gotten to lie inbed with him the last few mornings and I didn't want it to end.
  • I am so NOT posting my weight for today. Tom is visiting and I'm up like five pounds. I should have TOM kicked off my couch by tomorrow so I'll give it a day or two and post on Sunday.

    I'm So ready for the extra long holiday weekend. It's been crazy busy at work. People, present company excluded of course, are bonkers.

    Dude, The Hubbs totally pissed me off at dinner tonight and I am having the dangdest time getting over it. Me & The Kid are vegetarians and have been for a while now. I am NOT militant about it and I don't judge anyone who chooses to eat meat but it is just not MY thing. I don't eat meat. The Hubbs calls himself flexitarian, which means he is mostly vegetarian unless the guys at work invite him to have wings, in which case, he's a total carnivore. And...I don't care. That's HIS choice. I look at food choices as a personal thing (kind of like religious choices) and no one really has a right to bash another's choices. So it REALLY pissed me off tonight when The Hubbs went off on my choice to be vegetarian (the reasons for which he knows and understands). I honestly think he was feeling defensive since he had purchased some pepperoni to put on his pizza (but I didn't say ANYTHING about it - it was his choice and his pizza - not my issue) but instead of being a NORMAL freaking human being he got all combative about ME being vegetarian. DUDE, I didn't even SAY anything to him and he freaking attacked my beliefs about food. Grrr... It was hours ago and I'm STILL mad.

    I'm about to go join the gym (a different gym than the one I was at previously), as long as the registration fee isn't ridiculous. Then I'm going to buy new workout clothes cause I will be working out in public again and all the workout clothes I have are too big or don't match.

    If not today, then sometime this weekend I'm going to go seriously grocery shopping. Thankfully I don't have much food in the house so I won't have to waste food or keep eating bad stuff until it's all gone.

    Mr. Reunion has his girls again this weekend. His birthday was yesterday so I surprised him by having my friend decorate my house while we were camping. She also got a little cake. We haven't had any cake yet and we have camping food left over, and the house is still decorated. So I suggested Mr. Reunion bring his girls over tonight or tomorrow and we can roast weenies over my fire pit and make smores and watch a movie and have cake. (essentially, get rid of the rest of the bad food in the house) He said they've had a slight cold this week so he'll have to see. I'm hoping they can come. I haven't seen them in a month (when I first met them.....2 weeks ago I was at the beach)

    anyways, that's all of an update I can offer now
  • Amy - Men (***rolls eyes***) Is he PMSing? I'd be upset too. I like your philosophy that everyone has their own right to make personal choices in food, religion, marriage, dating, etc.

    I went to the P90X2 website but don't want to input my email address. Can I have a ballpark amount on cost? When does it ship? I may do a P90X hybrid after my race in 2 weeks with you guys rather than buying P90X2. I need at least 2 days of running...

    Grr. I have this customer who has an order for 20 axles due in December. They want weights and dims of the crates/pallets now so they can start working on freight options. A.freight quotes are only good for 30 days and even a week later they will change at invoice time. B. we can't guarantee that weights and dims will be accurate three months from now when the factory they are coming from f^cks everything up. So he went around me to the factory. Our order is with the factory. His order is with me. I've already invested hours in this order just to get them the parts because they are obsolete and now he does this? I mean I had to jump on desks to get this one last time order for them. Oh. Hell. No. What a moron to mess with me in this way. Do men truly never learn? I never forget.

    I was thinking of doing this too - so I'd be up for doing P90x with you girlies and sub in running/walkinig on the days that are cardio.

    P90X2 scares the bejesus out of me. I am SO not ready for push ups on bosu balls. Not now.

    Victoria: P90X2 is about $120 for the base program (the DVDs without the stability ball and foam roller and stuff you probably already have anyway) if you pre-order it now, you won't be charged until it ships (in time for Christmas is what they're saying) and you'll get free shipping. Lemme know if you need more info.

    Lacey: Men are retarded. Period.

    Kendal: Yay for joining a gym!!

    Lacey-the sites are accurate depending on how often the person has to confirm their address. For a lifetime offender, they have to report in every 90 days. For 10-20 year offenders, it's once a year. So I'm on the site about once a month, always checking. So it was really a major whammy to have that, considering he didn't pop up the last time I checked it in August, but he was living there in May! And that was his registered address! And he's a lifer, so he has to check in. They ALL have to report their addresses if they move...period. I'm not sure how fast the website updates it once a change is reported though. There's only one other kid on our road, but on the other end, nearly 1/2 a mile away & he's just started Kindergarten, so doubt he'd have been out & about near our house. Granted, my boys aren't allowed near the road or to go that way anyway, but that's so not the point. When they went for walks, it was down past my front yard. (Granted, my "yard" I live in right now is HUGE, we're talking 5+ acres, so it's not like they could see in the windows or anything, but still!!)
    My hubby has been fairly wishy-washy, til we got married. Once we moved to KY, (back for me) we both had a hard time finding decent jobs. Once he got to driving over the road, he kept at that for 3 years. Then I decided I wanted to work again. Wanted to have a little more $ & maybe save for a house. We agreed he'd keep driving for a couple of months to give us a cushion & then quit to find a local job, using his vacation to cover the off time.....well, I went to work for a week! He quits, uses his vacation, & finds the current job he has now...and that's been 4 years. At the time, the pay wasn't too bad. But minimum wage went up & his pay did not. So he makes about a quarter over that now. In the meantime, my pay goes up fairly decently, being a city employee. So he considers that good enough! It's not bad...but it's not great either. *sigh* But I love him, so I guess I'll just pray for the best! I know I can't change him...no matter how badly I'd like to!
    As for sports, I can take 'em or leave 'em, but I'm very competitive. I'm not very athletic though. LOL! So it kinda stinks! I've learned to be a good sport through default b/c I'm not good enough to win! Practicing gave me good skills, but didn't help with my natural lack of grace! I'm a klutz!

    Amy-booo for hubbs! What on EARTH crawled up & peed in his cheerios? And in front of G too? Double bad points. I hope he can recover with some dignity. And *hugs* for you!! You can come visit me & eat all the veggies you want! Just let me have my steak! ;-)

    Kendal-that sounds like so much fun! I can't wait to have a bonfire in our new backyard...once the burn-ban is over for the year! LOL! Good luck w/the gym. New workout clothes would be nice. Heck, new clothes would be nice, but that requires money I don't have! *sigh*

    Rikki-as long as you're aware you're not an idiot, then it's all good! *hugs*

    And it's Friday, and I'm bored, and have more than an hour to sit here & entertain myself...so sorry for the rambling post! :o)

    Gave me the giggles......

    HOW TO CLEAN THE HOUSE

    1. Open a new file in your PC ..

    2. Name it 'Housework'

    3. Send it to the RECYCLE BIN.

    4. Empty the RECYCLE BIN.

    5. Your PC will ask you,

    'Are you sure you want to delete Housework permanently?'

    6. Calmly answer, 'Yes' and press mouse button firmly...

    7. Feel better?

    48 more minutes to go!!! Its been a good week at work for the most part, but I swear I've been on the phone and had one waiting for me for two days now so I'm ready for the three days off, thats for sure!

    Amy - What else is the hubs all bugged about? Weird that he went off like that when he's seemed perfectly okay with it all this time!
    I find that Jeff goes off like that on me because he's really having issues with other things that may or may not have to do with me. And in the moment and often afterwards for hours I don't like it and don't deal with it well and am still pissed. Jeff has been pissy and aggro and annoying for almost two weeks now. He swears there is nothing wrong aside from the normal stuff but he just is about getting on my nerves with it. I can only be patient for so long.
  • Here's a question for you all. What is your favorite NSV?

    Me--the first time I rode on an airplane without a seatbelt extender.


    -Katheryne
  • My fav NSV was having to have adapters put in my wedding ring. A close 2nd is when people don't recognize me.

    Karen - LOL

    Amy & Lacey - my gut says both husbands have hidden issues with your upcoming trip!!! I know I do - jealousy!!!

    Amy - thanks for the info. I'll think about it. I've only used p90x DVDs for 30 days. I feel guilty buying more befoe I complete the first round. I stopped since it left no time to run. I'm leaning towards a P90x hybrid with running... I'd I start when you do, I may actually finish :) Are you starting Jan 1 or mid Dec? I'm up for either. But #2 sounds fun with stability ball and foam roller. I can always write it off for work - I can never have too many exercise ideas - I mean I teach people to exercise. Are you still a beach body coach? Do you get anything if it's ordered through you? Can you tell I'm still undecided?

    fitting into clothes that were once too small (or clothes that used to be comfortable, every day clothes, being too big)

    As much as I would love to order P90X2, I can't justify it right now since it'll be months before I'm ready to even start P90X again.

    I didn't make it to join the gym today. I also didn't make it to the store to buy workout clothes.

    Did finally call customer service to see about getting my laptop fixed. I bought a 3 year warranty when I got in in Nov '08 and now I get some black screen upon start up that says the system has detected the storage capacity is very low and the battery needs to be replaced. Yeah.....took all the time to register it first and then got switched to some hot guy named Jared (you know how you can just tell from his voice sometimes that he's hot....yeah, this was one of those times). But it turns out my warranty doesn't cover the battery. :indifferent: EFFING A!!!!

    Kinda irked about that. :grumble:

    But it still works while its plugged in, so it's not the end of the world.
