Don't think we're doing much this year, we just went out for Hubby's birthday so I think we will settle in with a heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's, grab a movie and a bottle of wine
[/quote]
I like the sound of that!! But then again I don't need any excuses to have pizza!
Thanks Nykkie, I just might go out just to get all 'gussied up' and have a good time. (Great...now I need to get my nails done...and hair done...and new make-up....and something to wear...and...and.....lol!!!)
Enjoy your heart shaped 'za and bottle of wine!!! ....That still sounds much better to me! LOL!0 -
Go for it Barbara! It'll be fun, who cares what day it is? :bigsmile: Nykkie's right, it'll help set the mood too lol!!
No idea what the hubby and I are doing. Last year was our first v-day together, we were broke newlyweds so we stayed in...we splurged a little and bought filet mignon at the grocery store, and he ordered me out of the kitchen and made me the best steak and mashed potatoes-and corn on the cob-that I've ever had
He even made a fancy dessert with the coffee liquer I bought him-mixed it with coffee ice cream, YUM!!! We'll probably just stay in this year too, hopefully he'll make me filet mignon again!!!!:laugh:
Don't forget tomorrow's weigh in day!! I'm just hoping I didn't gain this week lol:smokin:0 -
Good morning Ladies. Weigh-in today... 168! I'm so excited, down another pound. :bigsmile: This P90X is really working for me My muscles are rather sore today but it's a great feeling.
My Sweetheart gave me corporate tickets for a concert on Valentine's day, that he told me to take my girlfriend to (he has NO INTEREST in John Mayer, but then again, I really don't know any of his songs either) When I told him that I would rather spend time with him for V-day, he says "Every day is Valentine's Day for us!" How cute is that?!?!?! LOL :laugh: I think we'll be doing something to celebrate it on Saturday instead.... LOL 0 -
Good morning ladies!
Barbara - enjoy getting all pretty-fied! I hope you have a fantastic time on your date!!
I absolutely love having mini spa days - DH bought me a foot spa a couple years back for Xmas and got me a bunch of foot/hand spa things for Christmas this year from Bath and Body so I'll do a mini mani/pedi, put on a face mask, and it's just divine! I sure would love an actual Spa day though, a full body massage sounds amazing!
Kaitie - that sounds like my kind of meal! Steak is one of my favorite things! DH would love that dessert - his fave alcohol is coffee liqueur! I think I might actually get that for him!
Denitchy - Congrats on the pound loss!! I'm excited that P90X is working for you! I'm excited to say that I am ordering Power 90 tomorrow!!! I figured that I can run through it twice by my anniversary (in Sept) and we're planning on going some place with an indoor water park!
I'm jealous about the John Mayer tickets - I bet he'll put on a fantastic show! I love the "Every day is Valentine's Day" thing that your sweetheart said to you! :smooched:
Have a great Thursday girls!0 -
Good job denitchy!!! You rock girl!!:drinker: That is pretty sweet what your man said to you!!
No change for me this week. Having some...er, personal issues with my body,:blushing: gotten really bad and more painful this week, so I'm skipping pilates today :sad: because it's gotten to the point where I can't even walk without pain, let alond bend, stretch, lift, lay down, sit, etc. So if I don't start improving today gonna hafta get myself in to the dr.
Exercising kinda isn't an option right now....even taking the puppy for a 10 minute walk is gonna suck:embarassed: :sad: 0 -

Just hope it's nothing to stress my poor bum:blushing: Thanks for the get better wishes, girls! Nykkie, what do you do when your cyst flares up?0 -

Oh my gosh! I'm so excited to hear what your Hubby has up his sleeve!
As for my cyst...
The very first time it got inflamed I thought I had actually cracked my tailbone since the pressure feels somewhat similar to that until it popped. (TMI...but the drainage is outright disgusting, brown and horrible smelling) It was the day of my last Homecoming dance lol so we just put some gauze over it and away I went.
It was still hurting pretty badly so I went to the Dr. and they had to lance it. I'm not gonna lie, probably the worst pain of my life. :frown: They also had to "pack" it with a string like thing to keep the wound open to drain..that hurts a lot too. I was lucky to still be at school and living at my parents house at the time but it was a daily packing thing, and once it got changed I had to ride in the car backwards and had to stay out of school the rest of the day.
It's MUCH better now and it does still flare up, but I can usually put pressure on it and it'll pop and I won't have any trouble with it after that. One time it did get decently inflamed, but I used some 'black salve' - it's this black stuff that'll suck infection out of wounds! - on it and it healed just fine. I can't find it in stores anymore but you can find it online.
Hmm pilates may have inflamed it for you - do you have moves that you do in your class where they have you shift to your tailbone?
Hope this helps Kaitie and feel free to ask anything else!
And sorry about the TMI to everyone else :laugh:0 -
Though I have never experienced this (and I NEVER want to) it sounds very painful!! I hope your feeling better soon Kaitie :ohwell:
And Kaitie, I can't wait to hear what your Hubby has planned for you....:bigsmile: :flowerforyou:0 -
Hope everyone had a great weekend and V-Day with their hunnies! Hubby's surprise was taking me around to all our old haunts when we first started dating, beginning with the bar we met at :blushing: :bigsmile: He also brought me home flowers and a chocolate covered strawberry bouquet from Edible Arrangements It was so sweet...and yummy!!!
Been working out a lot but eating bad and going over calories this weekend, tried to get back on track today but still over:grumble: Hopefully tomorrow. Off to class:grumble: , have a good night girls!

Kaitie, sounds like you had a fantastic V'tines with your hubby! That is so sweet what he did for you!
My DH got me some stuff from Bath & Body Works for doing manicures, scrub, lotion, and bought me a bottle of OPI nail strengthener and a neck massager with heat!
We had a heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's and I made him a dessert drink with Kahlua, coffee ice cream, and caramel syrup! He loved it - thanks for the idea Kaitie!
How's your tailbone feeling?
Barbara - did you go on your date? How'd it go?!
According to the UPS website, I should have my Power 90 tonight!!! I am so stoked!
Denitchy - how's P90X going?
Have a great day ladies!0 -
Hi Nykkie, My date...hmmm actually it went "fine". It was lovely. The dinner was great, he was very polite, we "got along" for the evening...but well NO SPARKS!!! Don't get me wrong, my date is a great guy. He is good looking, thoughtul, and pleasant. I really wanted those "sparks to start flying" but oh well.... didn't happen. I did agree to see him again lol!! Am I bad?
Hey did your UPS man arrive? Did you get your Power 90?0 -
Barbara - I've been on dates like that before. I always felt so bad that I didn't feel anything! I wouldn't feel bad that you agreed to see him again - you never know, you could feel completely different than you did on your 1st date!
The UPS man did arrive much to my relief! :laugh:
I did my first workout last night and loved it! It had a lot of kickboxing elements in it that I loved and I only had to pause it once. I so can't wait to see my results after the full 90 days!
Have a great Friday everyone!0 -
Glad everyone had a good Valentine's Day!! Heart shaped pizza, yum!! I'm glad the dessert came out good, Nykkie!! And my tailbone is doing MUCH better, thanks Almost completely healed up, no doctor visit:bigsmile: ...still cant do certain butt balancing positions in pilates but oh well. How is your new workout going?
Sorry I've been MIA!! I'm still logging, just SUPER busy with school and homework...I feel like I'm drowning in essays.:sad: 17.5 credits at one time is TOO MUCH!!!:ohwell: But, we are moving to NC in June, and if I don't have 30 credits I may not be able to transfer to a university (the community colleges don't offer anthropology, my major) and I don't qualify as a freshman, sooo...gotta suck it up and just do the dang essays.:grumble: :laugh:
Bout to take the puppy for a walk, it's such a nice day, and the hubby and I are going up to musINK, Kat Von D's tat convention, today and we'll be gone alllll day woot!! So excited!! Hoping to get my six shooter piece done finally. Gotta hit up the gym and try to squeeze in the Bikini Body dvd workout, so I better get moving!! I only wanted to run 1 mile yesterday but I ended up doing 2, YEAH!! Hope to do the same today. Have a great weekend girls!!!:flowerforyou: :drinker:0 -
H-E-L-L-O-OOOOOOOOOO??? anyone checking in today?0
-
Hey Barbara, and everyone!
I've been horrible about checking in here this week...
Still rockin' the P90 - today is day 7! I'm surprised that I've been able to stick to it for a week already.
Had experienced a gain but it was back down to 155 this morning. I haven't lost in so long, I wonder if I am pretty much done losing. I don't really care what I weigh as long as I get to my goal size - 4/6!
Hope everyone is doing well!0 -
Everyone ran away
Good for you Nykkie! Stick with it!! :bigsmile:0 -
I know! Our thread keeps getting smaller and smaller

chin up girls! you know the saying, 'small but mighty!' we are a small group with lots of POWER! Keep on going girls! I alwalys look forward to reading your posts!:flowerforyou:0

Yes, I look forward to reading your posts too!
I had kind of a bad weekend. Hubby and I went shopping out of town on Friday night and I decided that I needed some in between jeans, the ones that I have right now are getting too big and the smaller size I have at home don't quite fit yet.
I found a pair that I really liked until I saw that it was $40 and didn't think that we should probably spend that much on jeans that won't fit for too long anyways.
So we went to a couple more stores and in the size that I thought I was, nothing would go over my thighs! I was frustrated to say the least, but the mall was closing so I said let's just go home.
Yesterday I decided that I wanted the $40 pair of jeans and we had a store here in town (Vanity) so we went to grab them real quick before hubby got a hair cut. Of course they have my size, but not the length that I need - everything else was too long. Ugh! Hubby suggested that we go to our local farm store - they have Levi's there and we've gotten jeans there before.
Not only did the 9's not fit, the 11's were tight too! I would've had to get a 13, which I thought was my size when I started this whole thing, there's no way that I'm still that size!! So I went home crying...I know the number on the jeans shouldn't matter as long as they fit well, but it still does. I thought jean shopping was supposed to get easier, not harder!!
I'd just order the jeans online, but DH wants to go out with his family which includes his bro's new girlfriend this week for dinner. I have social anxiety so this is a HUGE deal for me and I just have a break down if I don't look absolutely perfect...
I'm better now - I know that I've made huge strides and am NOT the same size that I was when I started, just vanity sizing really frustrates me...I don't know what size I REALLY am! I've decided to base my end goal solely on measurements. It won't matter then, but it still does now. Ugh sometimes being a girl really sucks!
Still working on P90, even though I ended up skipping a workout, but I am back on the wagon today.
Sorry for writing a novel but I just had to vent about how stupid jean sizes are!!
Hope everyone has a great week!0 -
Ahh Nykkie....you never disappoint!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: LOL I will have to read your "novel" a little later. The office is crazy busy right now! YEAA ..so glad we are keeping this going!0
-
jean sizes suck, nykkie! every brand is different size wise, so just because you were a 13 in levi's doesn't mean you're still a 13!!!:flowerforyou: how is p90 going?
ok, stupid question. DH is obviously the hubby, and i've seen many people use it on here...but what the deuce do the letters actually stand for? Da Hubby? lol!:laugh:
the hubby and i (not using DH yet lol!) started p90x yesterday....whooooaaaa buddy!! i'm so glad i've been taking pilates, it's really built up my strength in some areas and i found it much easier to keep up than i would have before!!:bigsmile: especially in some of the moves in ab ripper x! there were some i couldn't do many of still, but i did the full 25 on a few of them, which i definitely couldn't do the first few times i tried ab ripper x!!:bigsmile: speaking of pilates, i need to get my butt moving if i want to make class on time. have a great day girls!!:flowerforyou:0 -
Hehe - Kaitie, I know, but dang it still makes me so mad! :explode:
P90 is going good - I am 3 days behind though, because I was lazy for 2 and yesterday I was sick haha. I am doubling up today/tomorrow to catch up!
Good for you starting P90X!! I don't know if I'll ever be able to handle it - I just don't have an hour to dedicate to exercise every day! That's why I love P90, I think the longest one in the whole program is 42 minutes. That extra 20 min is a big deal to me I guess
You'll have to keep us posted on how it's going!!
I think DH stands for Dear Husband, or Damn Husband when you're mad at him!! :laugh:
Hope you ladies are having a good week!0 -
OMG I AM POOPED.:sick: :yawn: Day 2 of P90X was plyometrics, all cardio. Plus I had pilates this morning, which was brutal because I was wiped from Day 1 yesterday!!:laugh: Nykkie, I'm the same way, super busy, that's why I like my Shape DVD workouts, only 20-30 min. So getting through this and putting aside an hour every day is going to be a serious challenge...but I'm sure gonna give it my best shot!! Good for you for getting back on P90!!:drinker:
Shower time!! Sweaty, ucky, still need to start dinner and catch up on reading for anthro class. And I have class tonight. Eep! What're you gals havin for dinner? I'm making lemon pepper chicken, Trader Joe's jasmine rice, and frozen mixed veggies. YUM!!!!!!!! And takes less than 20 min to make, for under about 350 calories!!:bigsmile: 0 -
I am having pizza for the 3rd day in a row
Hey, it's PMS week and I don't feel good - I can't help it! I figure if I can get through this week and can say that I exercised every day the rest of the week than it will be a success!
Kaitie, you're amazing! Great job for sticking out P90X so far, and your dinner sounds really yummy!0 -
Happy weekend girls!! How's it goin for everyone?
Mmmm pizza...that sounds good :bigsmile: We're going to our friend's tonight for a little shindig, hopefully I will be able to control myself and not overdo it snacking. I had lots of chips and salsa yesterday at the Mexican restaurant we went to, but I only ate 1 bean/cheese taco :bigsmile: And at the BBQ restaurant we went to for dinner (well, snacks and coffee, we were still fairly full from lunch!) I only ate 1/2 of my potato salad and 1/2 of my walnut pie :bigsmile: So while it could've been worse, I didn't do as bad as i normally would. Time to do some P90X!!! Have a great day ya'll!:flowerforyou:0
