chipper15173

good jobs verda and lula on your workouts. i start with my 1/2 hour trainer on tues. excited.

we have power back, maybe an hour ago. sure was a rough 29 hours of no power. just on the verge of losing food. didn't eat well yesterday. DH took me out, couldn't cook, and it was a valentines special at beef o bradys. and we had the best chocolate cheesecake ever. so went over calories, by alot.

had a nice romatic evening even without power. no wonder back when people had so many kids. LOL

have lots of computer stuff to catch up on.

I was sooo happy my dear sweetheart did NOT buy me ANY candy! He bought me two very pretty plants and I bought myself a new pair of PANTS! Size 6, I was quite excited but I about put them back when I had to pay $74.00 for them.:huh: So far the day has been sweet and now I must go sweat so we can go for a nice dinner! Have a nice day my vixens!

Amy - have fun in FLA! It snowed here!

B - Sounds like you feel better.

St. Louis has a rather large Mardi Gras celebration. Saturday went down there in the cold to see my son play his guitar/band at a friends place. There were all kinds of fun and celebrating going on!

And I am sure you are going to work hard while having fun!!!!!!!!!

BUTTTTT With the money I have been saving, I think i can get new running shoes! SOOO when i get to week 7 I can run for 20 minutes without developing sores! haha! Keep it going girlie!!

So now for my update, Right now I am starving because i havent ate breakfast yet haha, But Sat. I ran day two of week 3 of C25k. I am behind this week because of stomach thing i had going on for a couple days last week. I didnt however wake up for zumba on SAT which makes me a failure in my book.... Sigh. Sunday I rested and spent the day with family. I napped and I ate, I didnt go over calories though! :P

Today I got up for zumba, even though i was 10 minutes late but it was a good workout! I was sweating a ton! I am going to go to class at 11 but when i get off around 1230 I am going to return something to best buy, then come home, change, go to the gym to run Day three of Week 3 for C25k, return home to make a bento box, eat said bento box, nap, go to class, eat dinner, pass out haha. I am so lame that I can plan my entire day out, every day...

I think today i might cook some tofu that i picked up last weekend. ITS called FIRM tofu... Here is my predicament. I have never made Tofu in my entire life, I have had it a few times, but i have never made it/cooked it... So..

DOES ANYONE HAVE A GOOD TOFU RECIPE I COULD USE?!!?!?! (p.s. nothing to spicy!)

Check in later!

Good morning everyone!

B, tofu is easy. Technically, you don't even have to cook it. It takes on the flavours of whatever you're using so if you've got a sauce or something or some herbs, just let the tofu sit in it as you prepare other things.

I hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day!

It seems like I can't catch a break right now. My nutrition was pretty darned good all weekend. I made chocolate strawberries yesterday (made with melted toblerone... uhm, YES.) But I managed to have just one which was decadent and satisfying, amazingly. However, I've done something to my foot. I did a 14k walk yestrerday hoping it would feel better and was just a cramp (the foot issue came up just before my walk) but it made it worse. Today I can hardly walk on it. I feel so cursed right now. So, I don't know if I'll be able to continue THIS training either :frown:
Kyle was great though (my husband) - ultimately i've always wanted to compete in triathlons and he suggested that I just lay off my running / walking stuff for now and focus on swimming and cycling (and I want to incorporate more weight training as well) which made me feel good. I was in tears off and on yesterday because I'm just feeling so betrayed by what has for my entire life been such a healthy, athletic body (at MUCH heavier weights than I am now!). It's so psychologically difficult, especially because I'm very competitive with myself and have been doing some kind of athletic training for many years (whether it has been competitive dance or half marathon). I feel benched and that's the hardest for me. So I think Kyle's advice of doing the cycling and swimming which will be little to no impact on my knee and foot, as well as weight training, will make me feel productive and like I've got a goal still. I'm having to rest my running for now but I can ramp up the other two facets of triathlon in the mean time. The only shame is that running is something you can just step out the door and DO where cycling and swimming require equipment / facilities. Ah well.

Last night I realized a way of describing the feeling that will be VERY motivating for me and may help you on an off day: Someone out there is saying about me "look how hard she's working for this! Does she want it badly?.. Let's see if she'll still go after it if she has to swim up-stream to get it. .... Well! She's still going! Let's see if she'll give it up if she has to swim up RIVER for it. ....Look at that. Still going. What if she has to climb a waterfall to reach her goals? ......" You know what? I DO want to achieve my goals. I'll climb the damned waterfall the cosmos has forced me to climb to prove I want my goals. My quote on my profile until recently was "obstacles are present not to block your way, but to reveal to you how badly you want something". Time to walk the walk! (or should I say, cycle the cycle or swim the swim... :laugh:) It'll be nice to get back on my bike though. Just have a couple of repairs to make. My handle is 'Pedalhound' for a reason ya know

Well, I'll try to get some personals in later when my kiddos are playing with their friend who comes over on Monday afternoons.
New week ladies!
