Good morning and happy Tuesday. I felt so weird yesterday when I got home from curves. I just sat down and did a craft project. I went outside to check on my bike. I told it that I was sorry we weren't going for a ride but if I rested my knee and it felt okay that we could go today. It was sad but understood that I needed to take care of me. The weird thing is that just sitting there being crafty didn't hurt my knee and I would completely forget that it was hurting earlier in the day. Today it is not hurting at all so I think as long as it isn't raining I will go for a short ride after work.
JJ- Is the kayaking to Willamette Falls through ecotours? I went on one of their tours when we were in Oregon but it was in Siletz Bay down in Lincoln City. They were great. Then we also did one through Devils Lake state park in Lincoln City too. Did you say you were in Portland? I hate how losing weight is making some things jigglier and saggier but you know I feel so much better that I will deal with it. One of the plastic surgeons here at work says after a really big weight loss give it a year to 18 months once you reach your goal weight before considering skin surgery as your skin will usually continue to tighten for that long. She said it may not go completely back but often it will look fine and not need surgery. I also want to say your post to Becky was beautiful! I am so glad you were there with those words for her this morning when she probably really needed them. I know they were inspiring to me.
Becky- Go back and read what JJ wrote again.
Lexie- Isn't that kind of the point of a flash mob? To be silly. I know the students will love to see the teachers look a little foolish. It kind of makes you seem more human.
Lane- Glad to hear you are feeling better. Now go out and kick some butt today.
Eileen- It feels good to have someone notice your hard work and dedication to your weight loss. Good for you!
Hope everyone has a great day and think thin since you are thinking anyway!0 -
Staci – Nice NSV. I just noticed that my legs are looking leaner and I actually have knees now. You should rewind and play that video over each morning. You have come a long way baby!! Congrats. I liked hearing what the surgeon told you about loose skin. I didn’t know it could continue to tighten for that long. Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
Steph – Love the bus story. I still have this fear of breaking chairs. It’s happened to me twice while camping. Very embarrassing. Now I love sitting in chairs, relaxing and actually crossing my legs, which I couldn’t do for years! I’m so glad you are getting those well deserved compliments also. Such a confidence booster. Way to go Sexy Steph!!
JJ – Congrats on shopping in the reg size section. I am also just entering this ‘kingdom’ and there are so many options I find it overwhelming so my closet is still empty. I need a personal shopper to go with me. I’d love to be on ‘What Not to Wear’ with Stacy & Clinton!!! How fun would that be!? Don’t worry about how you look with clothes off. Things will tighten up – buy something sexy to wear – trust me he won’t notice the extras.
Becky – Well – I was going to give a kick in the A double S, but I see a few people beat me to it. Don’t let the numbers get to you. Make this a joyous time. You are going to be able to say “I just lost 100 POUNDS!” Positive Affirmations can be powerful. Put it into practice today – get excited. I can hardly wait to hear you say it!!!! You are going to do this – now GO.
Lexi – Great job at the gym – you are back on track girl! Love the idea of a flash mob!! I’d like to do something like that. Let us know how it goes. I haven’t heard from Tami – she hasn’t logged in for 15 days. I sent her a PM and told her we have a ‘closed’ thread and we need her back. I’ll let you know if I hear from her.
Eileen – Nice NSV – It’s great when someone notices. Crack the whip and get em to pack those bags tonight!! I hope you have a wonderful vacation – you’re gonna look super in the pix!! Where are you going?
Bobbie – I liked your advice to Becky. That’s what’s great about MFP – you read posts meant for someone else and it always hits home just a little. We’re all in the same boat.
Sara – Good that you realize Management isn’t for you. It can definitely be lonely at the top but they keep you there with $$. I hope your BP goes back to normal now.
Cynthia – Where are you girl? At lease BUMP us so we know you’re around. HUGS
I just came back from a nice 60 minute power walk. It’s just beautiful out there. Things are going slow and steady for me.
~keep it skinny0 -
[So shove the crappy week onto its *kitten*, stand over it with your hands on your hips and yell at the top of your lungs "I am a strong, beautiful, capable woman that is in charge of her own life! I will make the decisions that I know are healthy despite you! I believe in myself and I am strong enough to beat you with one hand tied behind my back because I can do an entire sprint triathalon in one Saturday at the gym! Week...you are my *****!" Go ahead. We will wait. Really. Go ahead. Louder Becky! Yell it as loud as you can! Its got to come from way down in your gut! There you go! Good job!
Now go put on your best outfit, do your hair cute and some makeup and walk out into the world like you own it. Because baby, you DO.
If I didn't love you already, I do now! I need to save this right here and put it on a big poster for ME!
JJ this is some of the best advice I have read on here! And I agree, I think we need posters with this on it!0 -
Well nothing exciting today! Only an hour to go until successful day 3 is under my belt (and maybe I can feel like stopping counting), I'm weighing in with my trainer tomorrow and one of my goals was to shift things down to at least 264. My lowest when I hit 109 lost was 259 so I'm getting back there. Was tired today and I must have talked myself in and out of spin at least a dozen times in the 30 minutes prior to leaving school. The conversation went something like this:
Steph just go, you'll feel great once you get. No, go home, your tired, rest, watch telly. No if you go home you will want to eat during that time and you have a weigh in tomorrow. Its fine, you've worked really hard the last 3 days, go home, sleep, veg!! No go and then you could add 2 pieces of garlic bread to your dinner tonight.
the last arguement is what sent me to spin!
JJ - that was some great advice for becky and some I must remember in the future. And WOOHOO on the normal size section!! That's awesome.
Becky - I hope you are feeling better today. You are gonna do this and rock it. We all love you and thank you for being such an inspiration!
Staci/Renae - would love skinny legs, its the one place I can't seem to lose from!!
Lexie - flash mob sounds like great fun, wish we did things like that at our school. We are currently a construction site due to an addition so no fun in our future!
Eileen - great NSV, its things like that that drive us forward!
Sara - hope you get feeling better and that things return to normal with the decision that management isn't for you. Sometimes wish I had made that decision!!0 -
Hey everyone,
Its amazing when you or I drink tons and tons of water, how much faster the weight comes off. From my not so good week, last week, I lost it all plus 1. Or maybe its just added steps from having to go to the bathroom so much. But whatever it is, I'll take it. Nothing exciting going on other wise.
Becky: Sorry you are going through this funk but you will get out of it. I swear you will. Don't take this the wrong way but when I saw your current profile pic. I didn't know it was you, just saw the pic first then your name and when I saw your pic. I thought to myself, what a young fresh look she has on her face, then I saw your name and I was like Wow, Becky is looking so good. So during the rough times, just thing of the NSV we have and know they are worth it.
Steph: Glad to hear you won your battle with going to spin. Its amazing when we are in the groove at the gym, we are so happy to made it here.
JJ: I loved your NSV. I really don't think there is a better one. Being able to shop in the smaller section at a store, priceless!!!
Sara: Hope it all works out for you.0 -
I also sent Tami a message a couple of days ago with no reply. Hmmmm, hope everything is okay.
Steph- I love how you talked yourself into go to spin class. There is alot I would do for and extra piece of garlic bread if I am having pasta for dinner.
And I'll bet you did feel better after class didn't you?
ReNae- yes I was happy about the whole skin thing as well. That means there is hope for me yet.
I managed to sneak off after eating my lunch for a quick walk. I never realized that there is a really cute .4 mile path around the park and through the garden just a half a block from the hospital. Huh, now I have no excuse other than the weather for not going for a quick walk everyday at lunch.0 -
Eileen – 1 more day until your vacation! Somehow I get the feeling that you are ready for the vacation?
I am sure you will have a great time!
Sara – you could be right about your job. You have to do what you feel is best for you. If you are not happy, money doesn’t matter (because you can’t enjoy it from being so stressed or busy). I am sure you will make the right decision and figure out what is best for you!
Steph – great job heading to the gym after a long day at school! I understand the argument you have with yourself, and what ever gets you there, GREAT!
Staci – that is awesome that there is a nice walking trail at your job! Now you have a place to “hide” and get some relaxation! I am concerned about Tami too. If you remember her last post, it was not good and I am that she did not do anything drastic and that she is ok. I wish there was something else we could do!
Well, I had another great day yesterday! I didn't make it to the gym, but I am ok with that because I ate really well and I feel good. I went to the flash mob practice, and man...I am not sure about this. I am considering going to my friends house over the weekend to practice, because I do not want to mess up in front of that many kids! I am a pretty descent dancer, but I never was the technical counting and spinning dancer! I did my best dancing in Florida when I was in college and all that "booty" music was playing! :laugh: But seriously, it should be fun, but I am nervous. And did I tell you the song? Super freak! I almost died when I heard it. Oh well, I am really liking the kids and school, so I will do it! It will only be embarrassing for me, and the kids will think it is "cool" and I am sure they will not point out all my little mistakes.
I am packing up bag this morning to head back to the pool! I am going to finish this mile if it kills me!!!! I know that I will get more swimming in because my boys won't be there and I can focus on just getting the laps in. Hope you all have a great day!

Happy Wednesday!
** 30 Hours to go, but who is counting? :bigsmile: **
Bobbie & JJ - I don't think anyone could have said it better! Just remember that it applies to yourself as well!
Sara - Glad you made the realization now and not years from now! I am proud of you! 5K in October and 1/2 Marathon in November - Nice!
Staci - I hope that your knee is doing better and that you were able to take your poor bike on a ride. I walk at work all the time due to the fact that I am not very busy right now.
Renae - They say slow and steady wins the race. I hope so because that is all I am primed for :happy: shhh....don't tell anyone but we are heading to Disney world. The kids first time there and our first real family vacation.
Steph - Way to talk yourself into spin class! I am pretty sure that garlic bread would motivate me as well!
Julie - I think losing is exciting! Knowing that your hard work is paying off makes it that much easier to continue.
Lexie - I cannot wait until you do your "flash mob" routine so you can tell us how it went. And look at you getting all of those laps done!
As for me, did I mention that I have less than 30 hours left before the plane is in the air? :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
I will admit that I have been slacking off this week. I have been cleaning out the fridge in order not to have anything spoil while we are gone and not all of those were "good" choices. I have been walking but I haven't been putting anywhere close to my 20 plus miles a week that I usually get. I believe that I will be trying to maintain for the next 10 days and be content with that.
I have to say that I am more excited for my kids than anything else. We had planned on doing this last year. In fact my husband was prepared to buy the plane tickets the day before I was diagnosised and I told him to wait just in case. He has since gone overboard. This will be my kids' first airplane ride, first limo ride (my hubbie made the arrangements and they do not know), first time at Disney, and first real vacation with just us. My MIL even ordered a surprise to be waiting for us in the room (some arrangement I think). Hubbie even got a cabana at the water resort.
I will check in over the next ten days but it will probably be short posts.
Have a marvelous Wednesday!0 -
Happy Humpday - Just checking in to make sure you're all still here and to hold myself accountable. I have my bike on my car and even brought my jump rope today. Lunch time is going to be FUN!! I'll check back in later.0

I hope you have a great trip and all of those added luxuries will be nice -- limo / arrangment / cabana! Enjoy it!:happy:0 -
Good morning my humpday hotties.
Eileen- I am so excited for you and your kids now too. Have a great time!
ReNae- Yay for your bike! It will be so happy. I know my bike is always happy when It gets to go out. Okie doke, are you really going to jump with your jump rope? You aren't just bringing it to work so you can tie up your co-workers are you?
Today is my birthday and guess what I got. My mammogram LOL. They laugh downstair when I come in for it because I always schedule it for on my birthday. It is just way easier to remember the appointment that way. I do have to say being 70 pounds thinner there was much less sweating and not nearly as many pictures taken and not where near as much squishing needed. Yay! So, I have a dilema. I planned my meals and snacks today so that I could "splurge" a little on my favorite homemade mac n cheese that hubby makes and have some birthday cake. No problem there. My co-worker made me homemade brownies for my birthday. Not home made from a mix but homemade from scratch. They are chocolate raspberry and I totally raved about them at the office Christmas party. They are so good! He brought me a big one on a plate. I smell it! My thoughts are this, I could hurt his feelings and not eat it (maybe...if I have that much will power) or I could eat a couple of bites and then find my hubby (who works in a different department at the hospital) and give him the rest. I think I have that much will power if I do it soon. It is just sitting here on my desk, on a plate, wrapped in saran wrap but the yummy smell is starting to leak out and I don't know how much longer my will power will hold out. Hmmmm, I think I will put in my lunch bag in the fridge for now and think about it later.0 -
Happy Birthday Staci!!!!! That is so sweet of your coworker to bring you a brownie while you're trying to lose weight :noway: I would definitely say share it with the hubby. I might go so far as to say that you want to save it for when you get home to have with your dinner and birthday cake, so that way the coworker doesn't have to know how much of it you didn't eat and the hubby did. Either way, Enjoy your day!!0
-
Thanks for the invite and I will be back!! I have been M.I.A. for a while....had to deal with all the emotions of my husband leaving me. Anyway, I will be back Sunday -- going out of town for a few days to spend time with my 16 yr old daughter. I have gained back 11 of the pounds I lost (and I say lost because unfortunately I found them again, UGH) and am ready to hit it harder than ever before. I want to be down to 300 by my 40th birthday which means shedding 34 pounds in 37 days. Not sure I can do it, but that is my goal. That would put me back to my high school weight which would make me a happy girl.
I won't have internet service til Sunday afternoon, but will be thinking of ya'll. Can't wait to catch up on how you are all doing!!
See ya'll soon.

Happy Hump Day to everyone!!!
Lexie- the whole Flash mob thing sounds like so much fun!! My problem is, I have to be tipsy to dance in public (except for Zumba) so I would probably not have the guts to do it lol
Eileen- That sounds incredible!! I know you are super excited, heck I'm excited for you lol
Staci- Happy Birthday!! I'm with you, I'd take a small piece and send the rest with the hubby.
Tami- Glad that you are back!! Looking forward to hearing from you when you return... enjoy your visit!!
I am enjoying my day off with my lil man... dreading the extra long work weekend, but that's just part of my job lol. Had a nasty stomach bug Monday, so had to call out of work which I hate doing... but I had no choice. Worked yesterday and kicked some big ol' booty at the gym after work last night!! Looking forward to going to the gym shortly. The week that I was unable to go because of my foot I found myself down n out...exercising is such a good, natural stress reliever.
Well, I've got to go build a car track with my little guy. Take care everyone!!0 -
Well, I was just coming in to say that I did hear from Tami but I see that she found her way here. Glad you're back!!0
-
Happy B-Day Staci - I think I might eat every last bite of that brownie. Just spread it out over a few of days. I hope you have a super special day!
Tami - so glad you're back with us. Those lbs will vanish quickly. Looking forward to catching up with you.
Well - I did get 10 miles in on my bike today. It was very happy to be back out on the road. I even found a nice community park with a pond and a fitness circuit / jogging trail. I will be heading back over there to try it out soon! As for the rope jumping I have a bit of an embarrasing situation. **TMI alert** It appears as though I have a touch of incontinence when I jump rope. Not fun. So I'm going to have to come up with something else for my swimming leg of the triathlon. Any ideas?0 -
Happy Birthday Staci!!!! :drinker:
:flowerforyou:
I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all of you when I was going through my rough patch on the weekend. i weighed in today with my trainer and I weighed 260.3lbs (not bad for someone whos scales read 267.8 on sunday morning). This means I am only 0.8lbs off of what my ticker says and I am almost out of the 260s!! Thank you for giving me the butt kick and the encouragement to just go on. Thank you for cheering me when I couldn't cheer myself. This is why this group is so great. It would have been easy to sink into just doing what I was doing (eating the house) but each and everyone of you encouraged me to keep going and make the changes that I needed to make. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
Also as a side note, NSV today, trainer got me running at 12km/hr for 15 seconds of my 6th and final 1 minute sprint. Only been running at an 11 for a couple of weeks so thirilled by this (despite burning in lungs and feeling legs were not going to keep up!)0 -

Whether it worked out or not, you did give it a go, so I guess that means I also have to give it a go, huh?0 -
I am sorry I have been MIA.I had a family crisis that need to be dealt with.I am back and pulling out the big guns to further in this journey to a new me.I will post later after I have read all the posts I have missed.0

*gurgles from the bottom of the ball pit*
Okay so yesterday I really tried to do all my catching up and postings and... I failed. I was halfway reading everyones little notes and I just couldn't keep up my little head was bouncing like a pong ball...
I've tried for 5 days now to make minestrone soup and the farthest I've gotten is to make turkey stock (well 2 gallons of the stuff ;D)
I also cleaned out the pantry and threw away probably 3-400$ worth of boxed/canned/jarred food and sauces that had gone past it's expiration date. My pantry cupboard is less than 1/3 what it was before hand, and I don't plan on refilling it. Hubby felt bad at first and then he said oh well, we would have ended up doing it when we moved anyway. And even helped me clear the last shelf when I ran out of steam.
I still have to do the salsa tonight and guac. I've tried to do it for 4 days. the tomatoes went bad today that's hw long
and I had to go buy more. I feel so chokey and sick sometimes and I have no energy whatsoever... When the damn thyroid isn't choking the **** out of me, it isn't producing any 'energy' whatsoever for me to run on, which is the EXACT ****ING symptoms the american thyroid association gave for Subacute Thyroiditis. 1-3 months of this, at least possible up to 12=18 months... holy ******** batman... really? OH and I sleep 12 hours and if feels LIke I slept 4.
I feel sometimes in the morning like super energetic, lets go get em!!! and then by night fall I am the biggest mugwhump that sat on a rubber ball ever.. just shoot me. Just typing this now is killing me, but I promised Lexie, and I stiilll HAAAVE to go do the salsa... I'm never going to make it.. ****.
I love you all, I'm working on getting a surgeon personally for my foot, i'm sick of ****ing around waiting for my doctor's office to go and do something, and I also found a referral from a friend for a new doctor, mehe heh heh so we'll see how it goes.
oh the coup de grace I got some whacked out message on voice mail from I find out a ****ing STUDENT at te medicl centr telling me to stop taking my thryoid medicine on sundays, (only) and that my diabetes is in remission..really? I've never ha d it.. ****ing twats...
so I went over and piked up the medical lab work and it's from 8/15/2011 a full month before I had the attack.... and it shows clearly that I've gone into hyper thyroiditis (over reactive) and yet he tells me to keep taking the meds, (and don't forget I already had taken them for a month till I seized up in the parking lot) ****ing ****ing ****ing idiot
I can't beileve he's that stupid.. I think I'm going to make an appoint ment with anohter of the doctors at the medical center one that I saw when h e was on vacation and discuss the report with him and see what he thinks because I can't take that... just insane... just ****ing insane..
anyway that's where i'm at... oh and popping pills to stop the toad which is mostly working... mostly... unless i get stressed or angry or sweaty *whistles* then the toad comes.... because he's a bad stalker toad...0 -
Eileen – wow! I would be excited for that vacation too! I am sure you are going to have a blast
Staci – HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Sounds like you made a great plan for staying within your calories on your birthday! I always that that anything you ate on your body was actually subtracting calories…because it is your birthday!
Tami – Yay! I’m glad your back :bigsmile: I was worried about you and I’m glad to see you are coming back to us.
Lane – that’s what I said!?! No drinks? I guess not…damn school rules! :laugh:
Steph – that is great about your scale and your running! You are back!!! :bigsmile:
Cynthia – Wow! Talk about getting kicked when you are down!!! I hope that you feel better soon, because this is sooo not like you to not have energy! You are usually bubbling over, so this is no good.
I had a pretty good day yesterday. I actually had a great NSV and overcame something that I usually give in on. On my way home from work I was feeling stressed and very pissed! Usually that is the time that I would go through a drive-through and get something really bad (probably taco bell). But, I kept telling myself I was not going to let this de-wagon me. So, I stayed focused and made it home without stopping! Then when I did get home, I heated up some of my veggies and pasta to eat, which was healthy for me. Later that night I was starving, but I stuck to healthy food and made very conscious decisions. It felt great to take control of my bad habits! I didn't make it to the gym, but I am ok with that because i didn't give into my temptations or bad habits.
Today should be interesting because we have parent-teacher conferences from 4:30 to 7:30, so I have to stop by and get subway before so I am not starving! Have a great day! And I am going to get in my water for THIRSTY THURSDAY!0 -
Happy Belated Birthday Staci!:flowerforyou:0
-
It’s Thirsty Thursday so double up on your H20 today!!
Steph – Very nice loss girlie. We knew you could do it. We all need to stop panicking about the ups and downs we’re going to experience on our way to our goal weight. Sometimes it feels like 1 step forward 2 steps back, but if you look at our results it’s really 2 forward and 1 back. I’m very impressed with your running speed! I don’t push myself like that on the treadmill. I probably would if I was at the gym and had a PT there setting the numbers. I don’t have that much courage. You are amazing!
Bonnie – Welcome back!
Cynthia you mugwhump -whatever that is? It’s a bummer having thyroid issues to begin with, but when you have an a$$wipe for a DR it’s even worse. I had a thyroid removed several years ago and finding a balance of meds can be a very rough process. I know you’ll advocate for yourself, but it’s such a headache to deal with. Good luck – I hope you find a solution before you unleash on someone (tee hee) – I remember wanting to kill someone when my TSH levels were off. It’s time to climb out of the bottom of that nasty ball pit!
Lexie – I’m so glad you overcame an old habit and took charge last night. Such a great feeling. I’m proud of you.
Bobbie – Way to go on the running. I plan on asking my DR about the ‘leaking’ issues when I go for my physical in Nov. I’m pretty sure there is something I can take that will help reduce it. I know it’s pretty common after childbirth but it seems to have become more of an issue since losing weight. -- Oh to be young again!
Today’s goals are:
•Drink extra H20
•Go for a bike ride
•Leave work early and enjoy my DD’s FH game with the fam!
•Eat a very lite dinner since it will be after 7pm when we get home.0 -
Hey MFPeeps! Hope everyone is having a good Thirsty Thursday. I will try to drink a bunch of extra H20 today.
@Cynthia: I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with the meds. If it's any consolation it sounds like you get more done when you're totally exhausted than I do when I'm fully rested
@Lexie: Congrats on not giving in to those cravings. I've never had Taco Bell, but I'm sure it isn't a healthy choice, so good for you!
I had a pleasant surprise today when I stepped on my old nemisis "The Scale" and found I was down 3LBS this week! Frankly, I wasn't expecting to get much love from that old D-Bag today. The past week has felt a bit "slippery" if ya know what I mean.
A while back I set some short-mid term goals for myself and had to update them today b/c I am ahead of schedule! Just for interest sake I thought I would post them here for you all to see (helps me to be accountable). BTW, the entry called "Dave's Party" is a bachelor party that a bunch of us are going on in November. We will fly to Miami and spend a few days drinking, fishing and going to a football game (and yeah, probably oggling the hotties in South Beach...we're old, not dead). It will be a challenge for me to stay on point during that trip, but I am determined not to get side tracked by anything.
Oh yeah, almost forgot. As of today, I am at my lowest weight in a number of years (prolly 3 or 4)
Short Term Goals:
[1] Lose 6 LBS by August 13/11 in time for vacation: 285LBS (3 WKS)
UPDATE: Hit target #1 on August 4/11
[2] Lose 16 LBS by Sept 17/11 in time for OACFP: 275LBS (8 WKS)
UPDATE: Surpassed target Sept 15/11 @ 272.2
[3] Lose 49 LBS by Nov 17/11 for Dave's Party: 254LBS (16 WKS)
[4] Lose 61 LBS by Dec 29/11 for New Years: 238LBS (23 WKS)0 -
Well...my life sure has gotten busy lately! I have not exercised in a week. I know. But first it was so hot, and now its so not that its hard to get motivated to get out of bed at 6am to go for a run. I have been staying under calories and have actually lost weight too so that is not helping my motivation. I know, I know. I will go tomorrow morning. And its time to join a gym for the winter.
On a positive note, I had on my favorite tee shirt and what I used to call my skinny jeans and they were driving me nuts all day falling off of me. I was sad to put them in the too big pile....but not that sad. 0 -
Greg- great job reaching your goals early.
Cynthia- wow that totally sucks! Hope things get worked out soon.
Lexie- way to go passing the Taco Bell. I hate how I pass 2 of them with such easy access on my way home from work. Don't they know that they should make them hard to get to so we won't even be tempted to stop??
Things have been a little hectic at home and at work so I haven't been on as much as I would like the last week or two but I am here and thinking of you all. I think after this weekend things should settle a bit.0 -
I will catch up with you all later....I have to work for a few hours. It has been so busy at work that I have fallen asleep sitting down to relax at night after I do some home chores.

I definitely know the feeling. Try exercising at a different time of the day. Yesterday I took my walk in the middle of the afternoon. The change felt good.0 -
JJ - Its great that you are still losing....BUT.... get your *kitten* to the gym!! Imagine what you'd be losing if you were moving it! You got this chicky! :bigsmile:
Greg - that's awesome that you have met those goals, you are doing awesome!:bigsmile:
Renae - read on the other page about your t-shirt, thats awesome, I can't wait to get there. You are doing so well!:bigsmile:
Cynthia - I'd say sue that pants off the AHole but I know that unless the doctors actions lead to a fatility they don't advice you do that (my dad had a brain aneurism that the neurologist missed and got told that because he lived we couldn't sue the doctor) BUT we were advised to report the idiot to the medical board.
Today has been a challenge. I am super tired (I think its the back to work things plus I've not been great at taking my iron pills the last couple of weeks) but went to the gym any ways. Decided today was about endurance - 5km on the treadmill and 6km on the bike. Wasn't like my hard core panting circuit training so the change was probably good for me.
That said, I am really looking forward to a day off tomorrow. I think my body needs it and then a good sleep in on Saturday and hopefully I will be all better! i want to get out of the 260's this week and I only have 0.3lbs to do it!!
Thirsty Thursday - 12 cups of water and 3 mugs of green tea! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0 -
