    My morning in smilies, since I was asked. :happy:

    :yawn: :sick: :heart: :smile: 2234_put_to_sleep.gif :yawn: :happy:

    So far, so good!

    So, the heart in the middle must have something to do with "that boy"??? Not prying - just picked up on it..

    Marla - I'm so sorry that the scale is not treating you right.. I agree, it is too much stress - skip the weigh ins, but join us for the chats and challenges. We would miss you too much if you didn't.:heart:

    Bobbi - I did it.. it almost killed me and seemed like at least an hour, but after my workout at the gym (20 min elliptical/20 min treadmill/20 minutes bike - can you tell I get bored fast) I spent 7 minutes and 3 seconds stretching. It felt ssoooooo good...

    Sam - after Marla's experience with drinking lots of water, I say, "do what works best for you" - clearly not every solution works for everyone, and you can't mess with success..

    Keep stretching everyone.. janie

    You crazy people & your ellipticals. Perhaps I'll try to go to the gym a little earlier than I planned & hop on one of the devil machines. I guarantee I don't last 5 minutes.

    Janie - I hope I have fun. I'm seriously scared out of my mind. Yikes! How's the snow? Did you have to suffer through any more "I think we should go to Asia...BRUSH YOUR HAIR!!!" conference calls? :laugh: I only think that's funny b/c one of my best friends is an online high school english teacher & has very similar conversations while talking to students in conferance calls & her 4 year old doing things like putting his undies on his head while he is supposed to be getting ready for preschool. :laugh:

    Hi, Julie, Roni & Nicky!

    I started out at 2 minutes on the elliptical, adding on 1 minute every day and have now worked my way up to 21 minutes. It's not a lot, but it's enough to get me sweating and panting and cursing! (Only in my head, I don't have enough breath to speak out loud...) I agree, it's the devil machine, but you'll slowly learn to love it. Or at least not hate it...! :wink:

    I have to admit beet-cake does not sound appealing to me, and I am a beet person..

    Now, if it were beef-cake - and blonde maybe.. :tongue: :blushing:

    Thanks, Julie & WTG!!! I'm not a "machine" type girl so we'll see how this works out. Eeech. I'm not sure I'll be able to work out on the elliptical tonight though b/c the dude from the gym called & wants to "show me around" for the 1/2 hour before class that I was planning on screwing around. :laugh: I guess I need to pay attention.

    I'm terrified of going to the gym tonight. It is a brand new gym so I'm sure there's a ton of newbies (like myself) there, but still. Unknown situations by myself makes me...well (for lack of better words)...ACK! and a little :sick:

    To be fair, I stole "OH EM GEE!" from Sam. :laugh:

    Bobbi - might be the death of you? HA! You're too funny.

    I'm having some serious social anxiety issues about the gym tonight. I don't go in public very often being a SAHM & when I do, I have little distractions with me. *deep breaths* Seriously. I'm nervous!

    i love to stretch after, and i've been incorporating some ballet moves/stretches which feel so good. ahh
    i've also heard that some people do stretches when they wake up in am--as their body is warmed from sleep.
    or after shower--same reasoning.
    i know i'm not in the black team, but i like to read your fun challenges. and the more time i'm typing here, the less opportunity to put food in my mouth!

    I have eaten everything not nailed down.

    Two Reese's peanut butter eggs
    Key lime pie
    Lemon crumb pie
    Bagel with butter
    Bologna sandwich
    Froot Loops
    1/2 egg sandwich
    Whopper/fries
    Two donuts

    And I ain't done yet. Blast this metabolism anyway--

    Run for your lives, people-- SpongeMarla is beginning to absorb anything that's moving. Be afraid-- be very, very afraid.:devil:
