    I let a friend borrow my NR book and am supposed to start stage 2 soon. Hopefully she returns it!! Tonight I think I will go to zumba (anyone who hasn't tried it really should...uncoordinated or not. It's a fun workout.)
    I walked with my family last night for about an hour uphill...my kids complained the whole time, but my mission was to wear them out and it worked;)
    Everyone have a fantabulous day!!!:)

    OMG THANK YOU! :heart:

    Tarts, after doing Stage 3 A1 yesterday, I'm pretty sure it's just going to crush me for the next few weeks :laugh:

    Regarding PMS, mine is different every month. Sometimes, I don't notice it at all and don't gain any weight. Sometimes, I get emotional and bloated an entire week early before my start date. Like, this month :sick:

    Stages 2-5 can be tough...I'm SOOO looking forward to it lol.

    I tried to go to Zumba tonight. The instructor was 30 minutes late due to flooding. I almost didn't make it TO the gym myself. Some how my tiny little car made it through the lake at the main intersection. It's a shame too because it was an instructor I haven't worked with (Because I NEVER workout on Thursdays) and she was pretty good.

    PMS in my house usually involves chocolate binging and lots of SCREAMING!

    Maniac, DOMS suck but hurray for squats. Hope you made out well at the eye doctor.

    Protein is big for me. I shoot for 120 grams a day. I MUST have a shake after lifting. But I'm not picky. I'll buy whatever whey based protein is on sale :laugh: And I LOVE my protein bars. I stay full for along time after eating. My store actually sells a generic brand that has 21g of protein. My favorites are the Zone, CLiff Builders bars and EAS bars. Supper yummy. Whenever they are on sale (less than a $1 each) I seriously stock up.

    This is one of my instructors. she has a you tube channel. She isn't over complicated as some people can be. And she's definitely a personality :)http://www.youtube.com/user/tinazumbaqueen?feature=watch

    I wish Anniely did this because she is by far the BEST.

    Thank you :)

    I bought my first Quest bar today. I'll eat it tomorrow. I also got an Oh Yeah! bar. I love those.

    My exercise today was riding my bike to the auto parts store because some *kitten* stole the wheel off my car this morning. They even took the damn lug nuts so I couldn't put on my spare.

    :explode: Very stressed and unhappy. A big-*kitten* chocolate milk shake from sonic may be in order and damn the consequences. Three hours later and I'm not nearly done. Good thing my over-time pay posted today. Then again I've been sitting here for an hour feeling sorry for myself, because I had to have some family BS heaped on the top of the pile while dealing with everything else. What the hell did I do to screw up my karma. I like to think I'm a pretty nice person (swearing aside)

    OK maybe the 880 calories weren't worth it.

    Runz, if you like cocoanut, the all natural coconut almond is out of this word!!

    Sam hunni, I am so sorry the world is full of *kitten*. As I said earlier, may the KARMA bus run the ****wad over!

    I am FINISHED with NROL4W Did my last Stage 7 workout yesterday. I could tell I haven't worked out rlifted these past 2 weeks, but all in all not the a bad workout.

    I have taken my measurements but of course don't have them here. I'll post them when I get back from Maine on either Sunday night or Monday. My trouble spots still are my trouble spots but even without losing inches there, I know that instead of as much fat I now have some muscle and that's only going to improve. What I do remember is that I lost 2 full inches in my hips and that makes me happy.

    I'm out of pocket this weekend. I doubt I"ll be doing any lifting unless my sister and I workout together at her house. Certainly will get in some walking though.

    I'm way behind on reading the thread, work has simply exploded again! No end in site either! But I'm still here!

    Sue, two inches off the hips is amazeballs! If I finish Stage 7 minus 2 inches, I'll be happy as a clam.

    I skipped my workout today :embarassed: I was in such a blah mood. I've been really good lately so I deserve a break, right? My macros are beautiful today and I really really really want another cocktail. I should probably just do it so Sam won't feel so alone? Right? :drinker:

    Runz, no coctail! Sam is regretting her indulgence from her previous post unless she changed her mind.

    SueBoo! TWO INCHES! awesome!

    Breeze, 2.2 pounds congratulations.

    I have this tight knot in the bend of my right knee. When I bend my knee it stings. I can't feel or see anything back there. A tight muscle? What can I do for it?
