    Sittin here at great clips with my youngest. She has been bugging me for 2 days now. Anyways..

    Got my day 2 of week 3 done of the c2-5k. Brutal! Im feeling my upper thighs big-time. No elliptical today. Had a lunch date with a friend and was running late. Figures I'd go back for water aerobics tonight but we got invited to dinner at the inlaws so that's out. Oh well, prolly better I don't go back tonight anyway. No rugrats tomorrow so I'm planning on going just to swim and relax in the jacuzzi since it would normally be my day off from the gym.

    Lulu- glad you weren't hurt! Of course tomorrow may yield some soreness even if you aren't feeling it now. I hate falling down. At 6' it's a lonnnng way to the ground. Lol

    Thanks everyone for the comments on the hair. I didn't even have to pull it back today for my wog! Much much easier to deal with now that it's thinned out and out of my eyes!

    Kristi- I can't wait to see your results from the exercise this week!! Keeeep it up!!

    Post more later, daughters ready to go with her new do.

    Cyndee- I used to do the same at night with feeling hungry. If I know I haven't gotten all my water in I will drink some. I usually save some cals for the evening now just so I can have a huge glass of no sugar added nesquick and some lowfat milk. (everyone else can stop laughing at my choc milk addiction now... LOL) basically if I eat late at night, I won't be hungry for breakfast. The milk gives me the protien to tide me over and doesn't leave me hungry.

    Ps. No artificial sweetners in the nesquick and it cures my daily choc fix so I'm not craving sweets.

    Anita - You look fabulous!! Love the hair! You are an official knock out I think:glasses: Cute dog, too.

    Cyndee- I was always a night eater too. For the last several months I've tried various tactics to quit that bad habit ~ Li4g has her chocolate milk, I use ice - I let it get all melty in the cup and squeeze lime or lemon or orange on it, then much away. I keep it by my chair all evening. Sometimes, I will mix frozen strawberries and a little stevia with a little low fat milk and make a smoothie. I've truly quit craving the carbs at night - now I'm more likely to crave warmed fruit (apples with cinnamon, mmmm) or some celery with hummus, but mostly stick to my ice-munching. Give yourself time, but definately set up a plan for cravings - always keep healthy munchies on hand so they are as easy to put together as a sandwich - or easier:bigsmile:

    Chanty - I would definately stick with the gym scale if that's the one you usually use! The Dr. scale is evil! Stay away from it!

    Well, seems I can come back and post now. Thanks to all who've encouraged me back. As long as ya'll know I'm not weighing in this week:tongue:

    Wanted to say great cuts! I'm feeling inspired to wack mine off but then again lazy.

    Some great exercising going on ladies. Sad about the injuries though. Respect the injuries and take it easy. Love hearing your progress in the wogging and C25k. I started with a C25K.

    Well, I'm very nervous about the marathon. Its Sunday. I'm conserving fuel and taking the exercise light this week. Oh except I agreed to do the P90X yoga....that is just ridiculous to do when your suppose to be taking it easy:noway: . Anyway, here's where I am. I've logged close to 1,000 miles preparing for this marathon. Now I'm super slow which doesn't bother me. I'm a big girl. But all of a sudden I am soooo concerned about my health. I'm full of self doubt. Its gonna rain. And it going to be time for aunt flo.:sad: I need to get my head in the right place. I may need to graffitti myself with positive reinforcement to read over the 26.2 miles:huh:

    Prayerfulmom!!!!hug.gif I'm soooo happy to see you!

    Okay, you're going to be fine - and you are going to feel soooo great after this marathon. You are a trained athelete and you have been working toward this goal for a long time. I have every faith in your ability and your strength ~ be kind to yourself this week, make sure you stay hydrated. I wish I could be there to cheer you on as you take off (and then I'd have to drive to the other end cuz i'm no crazy runner like the rest of you) and as you cross the finish line!!!! Absolutely graffitti yourself - that would be great! I am sooooo excited for you - your nerves will settle very shortly into your run I bet. Flo-schmo, rain-schmain! Sunday is a GREAT day for a run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Swignol - Look atchoo! All shocking your dr. with your weight loss!! WTG! Glad there's no fracture - TAKE CARE of yourself girl!

    (((((((prayerful))))) Sooo SO happy that you are back !!
    Px90 yoga? Sounds painful.. LOL of course, just plain yoga and me don't agree, which means I should do more of it! Ok ok, gonna look at tomorrows class scedule and see if there is a class in the am. Maybe twisting myself in knots will relax my legs. Heehee! Glad to have a running buddy back!! I'll be cheering you on on Sunday!!!

    Okay guys.. I posted these pics in the success section.. It's only when I look at a picture I can see what's really there! Anyone else have those same feelings?? The Before picture is of me and my grandson. In my horrible looking defense I was up for over 24 hrs waiting for this guy to be born.. I got to experience the whole thing.. However this picture was very disturbing to me. I look old!!! I'm not old..When my Daughter in law posted it on her myspace page I called her and begged her to take it down. I was mortified!! I'm sure you know what I mean... She wouldn't or should I say she would but my Son loves the picture.

    This picture we took today.. I said why not.. I tried taking full body pics but the flash glares off the mirror so my husband promised me he would do that this weekend.. I'm happy with the results..

    I tried shrinking them. But this photo stuff is all new to me....

    Once again, I'm inspired by everything I read here.
    Sheila - Wow! When the doctor is in awe, you KNOW you're a winner!

    Thanks for all of the advice about night-time snacks. Funny...I must have read your minds. I've been putting off eating a bowl of strawberries. They're cut and ready for me to eat...since this afternoon. I've been good with my food today, so I may even add in a 1/2 cup of frozen chocolate yogurt.

    Anyway, it's getting late. I'm getting tired. I'm sleeping on the couch tonight, because my daughter is at her friend's. And once in awhile, the couch is good for my back. Crazy...I know...

    Running marathons? That's amazing. You should be very proud of yourself, Prayerfulmom...

    Prayerfulmom - I'm glad your back too - we need your experience and example. 26 miles - WOW. I want to become like you :glasses:

    Anita - again, WOW! your face says it all :drinker:

    I took today as a rest day and only ate 1500 calories. Saw a great quote last night on another thread:

    Your body keeps a journal whether you write it down or not!

    Hi, gang, just checking in quickly before heading for bed. I am usually a night owl, but tomorrow I have to be to workl at 10:00 which is when I usually start my work out. So, I gotta get up earlier. I prolly won't be able to post in the morning tomorrow. We'll see how early I can get up.

    Prayerfulmom, it is good to have you back. Wonderful, in fact.

    Li4g, you and your chocolate milk. You have infected half the troops! I was there reading your post and got to the point where you said not to make fun of you and your chocolate milk and I had to laugh, because there was that stupid cow! I could see two of your posts, and therefore two cows! Good luck with the yoga.

    Lulu, thanks for not telling mom! And may I say, what a great cheerleader you are! Ok, I've said it before, so may I say it again?

    Cyndee - so what about not doing gluten free as much as you just try to cut out those 7 or 8 most reactive foods? Or, even cut out a couple at a time and check how you feel? One thing I have noticed since I have been trying to eat 5 or even 6 smaller meals is I am less likely to be hungry at night. I used to fast all day and then about the time I got hungry, things would really pick up at work, so I would have to wait about 3 hours before going home and by then I would just shovel the food in from about 11:00 pm until 1:00 am. Then start over again the next day. So, for me, it also worked to eat my meals and drink my water. Good luck my friend!

    Ok, Anita! WOW!!! you look marvelous, absolutely marvelous fabulous, dahling! I feel like I am channeling Nando! For you youngins, sorry, you missed that era of SNL. I encourage you to check Billy Crystal's "Nando" on Youtube.

    Sheila, glad you don't have a stress fracture. Now, pay attention to the doc!

    Lisa, you;re on your way out, and I am just getting in. Tag - you;re it! Talk to you later!

    Ok, here is something I gotta get off my chest. I don't agree with how cm said what she said, and I don't think it should have been such a blanket statement, but I notice we are all much more focused, and we are all posting more regularly since she blew the thread up. LIke I said, I don't agree with everything she said, or how she said it, but I miss her.

    I love you guys, and I needed to share that, cuz its been like a rock in my shoe. Thanks for listening.
