    Renae- it's good to have others that think like us, it makes us realize we're not totally insane. :tongue:

    Shuntae- woo hoo! Just excited cause I finally spelled your name without looking to make sure it was right! Also, great job on resisting those sweets. It's hard, you did great and you WILL have a ticker that looks like Andrew. I know you were being nice and letting him get his first. Right? You and Roni will be sporting one of those 100 pound bad boys before you know it.

    Oh, this should be an interesting challenge, since my morning ritual is to pee, strip and jump on the scale like clock work. I don't eat breakfast till I do so. This will be a hard one to do. I will have the hubby hide the scale! Congrats to everyone for their accomplishments last week!

    Sorry Marla, I should have made myself more clear. :wink: :wink: I should have said, "your quirkiness (except Marla)" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Your quirkiness is not what caused me to spit water out of my nose last night while reading your post regarding Nacho and how you wished you were a horse.....:laugh:

    Okay, so i ran on the treadmill today & it felt GREAT!!!! I made it 2.25 miles so Week 6, Day 3 of Couch to 5k is in the bag. WOO! Now, I need to decide if the rest is physical that I can't make it any further or mental. I'm thinking it is mental....Might try for 3 by Friday. YAY!

    Shuntae - WOO girl! Way to stay away from the nasties! :heart:

    Hello to everyone else! Hope your weigh-ins were better than mine!

    Beans- way to go! You are probaby right, mental toughness plays part in this running stuff. I have never run over 2 miles. I told myself once I can run a 10 minute mile I'll work on running 3 miles. I'm running 11 minute miles now and the second that treadmill says 2 miles I start pushing the speed down button! It's not like I'm ready to keel over or anything. You can do it girl.

    Thanks, ladies!

    Lori - My one mile was 9:30. I was thrilled with myself! I dialed back to a 10 minute mile for the rest, though. I know I could have gone further. I just KNOW it. It's all in my head & that annoys me more than not being able to *physically* do it, ya know?

    Marla - The grade school must have been REALLY desperate. LOL Thanks, lady! I'll put that cheer in my head to use whilst I run.

    Kati - Thank you, my dear! That's T's "bring it" face. :laugh:

    It looks like I am on the losing train again. Down another 1.4 pounds and 1.6 pounds away from the weight I was when I met my hubs.

    Took my first test in math and failed miserably!:laugh: oh well!!!

    Should have results up later.

    Math is something one can be "good" at, but teaching it is a whole other ball game. I might be able to help you! Maybe. :embarassed:

    Hopefully chapter 3 won't be so bad so far so good! If I have a question I sure will ask you.

    Did my measurements today as well and I have lost .5 inches in my neck(looks like more) 8 inches in my waist(looks like less:grumble: ) and 4 inches in my hips. I guess I'm doin alright! I can't wait to go up to NY and show my family that I have lost all this weight plus some. None of them have seen me under what I weighed when I met my hubby. (except when I was a kid)

    Beans- you are moving pretty good to be doing a mile in 9:30- at least in my eyes! Way to go. I know there are people that run much faster miles, I personally will most likely NOT be one of them. I think a 10 minute mile is honorable so that's where I'm headed. If I can cut time off of that, it was meant to be!

    Sam- way to go on inches lost. I love, love, love measuring day. It's so much more fun than the scale! Especially when you see those awesome numbers from where you started to now.

    I should!! Hubs has lost a ton of weight too. The skinny brother is now the same as the other older brother and now hubs is the skinny one. There are 4 boys all together hubs is the oldest then 2 years apart then another 2 years then 12years. the youngest weighs almost as much at hubs does now. He's 15. So sad! I can't wait for them to see him too!
