    I just realized I haven't mentioned my husband's shoulder injury. 2 weeks from today Tony will be going in for surgery on his right shoulder. Remember when we redid the floors in the living room in January? He did the "manly" thing (or "stupid male" thing?) of carrying the love seat out to the garage by himself instead of waiting a few minutes for me to help. As a result, he heard a crack in that shoulder. Finally after it wasn't getting any better on it's own or w/ medicine, he got an MRI. He tore the cartilage about 70% of the way around the shoulder joint & ruptured the bicep tendon. He'll be in a brace to keep the shoulder completely immobile for about 6 weeks after surgery. So I'm not sure whether to ask for prayers/positive thoughts for him or for me! :laugh:

    Although, it is so sweet watching the children kissing his shoulder to "help it feel better". :love:


    Kristin - I hope you and Kadence are feeling better soon! :flowerforyou:

    Oh, Amy, I'm so sorry! Trust me - you will need the thoughts and prayers!! My husband had rotator cuff surgery a couple years ago. They couldn't do the small incision one either - they had to cut him open. He was unbearable to live with for the next 3 months. I swear I wanted to kick him to the curb after that. I'm sure your husband is a lot more easy going than mine though. Good luck and lots of prayers for you. :flowerforyou:

    happy b-day Verda!!!! Yea!

    Amy - sorry to hear about your hubbies shoulder. Men are so impatient with healing. They never think they are, but they are!

    Kristen - teething can be so horrible. Some children just struggle with it.

    Lulabelle - that is some weight lose. Good job.

    Amy s - I don't think that this diet thing that my friends are doing is good either. It's their choice.

    It was 87 degrees today. It went from the 50's to the 80's..... Where was spring? Didn't go swimming today.... TOM... just didn't feel okay with it. I was so tired last nite fell asleep early. I feel the same tonite. Well chat later everyone.

    Amy- I hope your hubbys shoulder gets better! The surgery will go fine! Sent up a prayer for you all!

    TAMTAM Love you sis... don't worry about the gain, it's only a few pounds. Let the stress subside and then get back on the weight removal... til then just tread weight. You have enough to worry about. I LOVE YA!

    P.s. I have run EVERY day this week and TWICE today! :-) This weight MUST get away from me! lol. Just wait... I am going to start heading in the right dirrection! not to mention I ate healthy today for the most part!

    Going out of town for the next couple days. And who's birthday is it? Verda? B? I'm confused - anyway - Happy Birthday to you!! :drinker: I'm just too tired for personals now. :yawn: Catch you all in a few.

    Good morning all

    Emmie - Out of town on vacation or business? Either way, be safe and have at least a little fun.

    Amy - Sorry to hear about your hubby's shoulder. But as a medical transcriptionist, I write multiple reports a week for that surgery and he should be doing "manly things" again soon enough.

    Kristen - Poor Kadence. Teething can be as hard on the mommy as it can on the little ones. I hope YOU are feeling better too.

    B - 200 is right around that corner. Keep workin it girl!

    Cathy - Great job on the treadmill. Back in action

    bahamomma - Can't wait to hear what your official weight loss is Saturday. Next Tuesday, you'll end this challenge as a "loser".

    Tamm - No worries on the weight gain. Could be water and sodium. But great job on working hard. It will pay off.

    Verda - Shout out to you Verda. Keep up the great work and encouragement!

    For anyone I missed, sorry. Big hugs all around.

    Trying to figure out when to get a run in today as kids are off from school and with me ALL day. Might just have to take them with me. Supposed to go roller skating with my daughter and her friends tonight. But yesterday, my daughter accidentally hit my ankle with a shopping cart to the point where I was almost on the floor throwing up and crying it hurt that bad. Now I just have a bruise and am not sure those skates are going to feel good. But we will give it a try.

    Hope you all have a great day.

    I DID IT!!!! I wanted to get some sort of exercise in, but my day involving everyone else started at 6 a.m. (about 1.5 hours earlier than normal). I resolved to go running for 3 miles, but was nervous about the dark. The only place to run that was well-lit started off with this massive hill that usually I can't even WALK up. But I was determined...and DID IT!!! As a matter of fact, after conquering the hill, I felt like the rest of the run was a breeze. Well, at least until that branch jumped in front of me and gave me a slightly black eye (fortunately at the end of the run). So now my exercise is out of the way and my day has begun.

    Hey everyone!

    Kristin, I'm glad you're feeling better. Teething is a toughie, and when YOU'RE not feeling well either!...

    Verda, B, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!

    Amy, GOOD FOR YOU. You are doing so great!

    Tamm, I loathe gains but you've got the best attitude out there :heart:

    Cathy, I'm glad to hear the good news!

    Lula, good for you for doing well with your workout!

    Tiff, yay for good days!

    That's what I've got for now :smile:

    I haven't weighed in in DAYS. Partly because I keep on being out to the gym before I have a chance to weigh in the correct conditions and I'm not going to weigh in unless I haven't had any water, etc. I doubt I've lost anything (Verda, I'm sadly with you on the PMS / easter egg debaucle) but I've been at the gym a lot so it's not as bad as it could be. However, I would like my gym time to be PRODUCTIVE and not just staving off gains from complete lack of control with easter candy! Geez...
    But I'm pumped up because yesterday I had another person at the gym see me in the change room and we got into a conversation and she was saying that they would "love to have me on the team" and saying how well I do in the classes. The other day an instructor came up to me after BodyPump and asked me if I used to teach it. lol There's a workshop in May for a new class that is being launched here and the woman who spoke with me yesterday encouraged me to get my cert before then so they can take me with them. I'm feelin' the LOVE! hehehe

    We're camping this weekend so I won't be on but I had to check in! xo KEEP IT UP LADIES! and Cathy, I love the suggestion of "springing sixers"

    Just dropping by! Ran TWICE TODAY TOO!!! GOOOOO MEEE! Today I did 7 miles in all. :-D Very tired now. May try doing crunches later. :-) Burned like 1100 cals today!


    p.s. I have been running BEFORE school and then again when I get home. If it keeps being super hot I may just run in the am and do a video in the afternoon because I was SOOOO thirsty on my afternoon run!
    Ok gotta shower and study!

    So proud of all of you sixers!

    Lula- Good job on meeting your goal. Fitness where you can FIT it in! YAY

    Cathy- Love the new motivational picture!

    Amy (Baha)- Love the new picture and the confidence. Go girlie! YAY. You are going to keep removing that weight I can tell

    Tiff- You are a running machine. So what are you trying to ERASE this time. LOL

    Rhiannon- Weighing in sometimes can be for the birds. Best wishes and thanks for the kind words

    Hey Sixers! Sorry it takes me so long to respond to you all. I'm having mini stress sessions daily but I'm sticking to eating healthy and working out. Trying to fight back that cortisol. It kills my results but I'm gonna win anyway! Today I did an amazing class. Then I followed it up with weights!! YAY. Off to rest. Off for a few days. More chats to come.


    Have a good evening!

    Morning all!

    I think my brain is more ready for good weather than my body. I have been extremely accident prone for the past couple of days. Two days ago, my daughter accidentally ran over my left ankle with a shopping which resulted in embarrassing pain and pretty near rolling on the floor in Target. Then yesterday with the whole getting bit by a branch while running. Yesterday, took my girl and her friends for a walk, telling them to be careful by the stream, and I ended up falling on my right side hard (they described it as a THUD rather than a slide). But fortunately, after two hours of rolling skating last night with them (I might be getting a little old for that as is evidenced by my inability to deal with stairs this morning), I didn't fall. But when I was taking a shower last night and shaving my legs, I realized I look like a battered wife with all the bruises my legs and arms are covered with and a slightly black eye. Bring it on Spring.

    Have to get to personals later as my fingers have now cramps up :)

    Have a wonderful Friday everyone.

    oh my lula maybe you better stay in bed under the covers for a day. i know what you can tell people... "this is what happens when you fall off the diet and exercise wagon....it runs over your behind"......

    treadmill done, 3 cups water down.

    going to dollar store and goodwill, looking for bikes for the girls to keep here.

    Hey Sixers! I'm back on my original computer and I'm loving it! Lets hope it will last me a few more months until things are more settled in my life. Can you believe that I am actually still trying to focus on my fitness goals and nutrition goals in all this craziness? I know why I am .... I've made it such a part of my everyday life, it feels weird not to drink water or find workout time. Now the scale is still being ugly to me but I'm ready to keep trying!

    Lula- I'm sorry accidents keep finding you. Things will get better. I think I would have rolled in the floor too!

    Cathy- I'm glad you are using your treadmill. I see that you got it all together. Good job I'm so happy for you! :)

    B!- Glad you had fun and your phone is a trooper. LOL

    Amy - You are doing more than I would have tried. LOL.

    Kristin- Hope you are feeling better

    Well I'm off to pay some bills and retur n things to the store and then see my childhood best friend. ttyl

    Love ya,

    Tamm
