So my neck is still really stiff but I have to shout out about something. You know I was running sprints and stuff but after a while I just couldn't get into it anymore. I slowed the treadmill down so now instead of running at 5.5 I am jogging at 4.5. Today I jogged for 45 minutes without stopping. That just blows my mind that I could do that for 45 minutes!!!!!!!!!! Wow I have definately changed since February.

I also noticed a slightly concave shape in my sillouette this morning. (i am an rectangle shape person with large rib cage, no hips and a large stomach) so to finally see the beginnings of a waist was amazing.

No if only my neck and head didn't hurt I might be having an amazing day instead of just great!

That is awesome! The fastest I can go on the treadmill is 3.2. I can't even imagine going your speed. Just amazing to me!

I'm WAY behind in the posts, but how about a 2-week core rehab challenge?

I'm gonna update my gut'n'butt measurements today and see what 2 weeks can do. Anybody else?

:bigsmile:

I'll join you--will have to start tomorrow, though. Or do we all want to agree on a day to start? Just let me know!

Today is my first day. I still need to find motivation and the habit of exercising.

Wooo Hooo! I weighed in this morning and lost 2.4 lbs this week.:drinker: A day early but I decided to take it while the taking was good. Tomorrow may say something different. So far that's 8 lbs. Seeing that this is already the 20th of May, I don't think I'll meet my May goal of 5 lbs, guess I just have to take it as it comes, comes off that is:laugh: I have only been losing ounces until this weigh in, that's why I say I may not meet my goal, but who knows.

Vicki... Congratulations on the new grandbaby :flowerforyou:

Well don't have much to talk about this morning so I will go, I am sure I'll be back on here today. Hope all has a great day :flowerforyou:

Morning everyone,

Not too many people on last night. I guess everyone was too tired to chat. Any way that's a good thing I hope.

My son called me yesterday from his BF's house. BF's wife was upset after her drs appt. because her cholesterol was high and she hadn't lost any weight even though she has been eating healthier things. He wanted me to help her with her MFP page, which he helped her set up and help her with exercise. So I'm feeling pretty good about that. I'm 54 and am helping teach an overweight 23 yr old how to get better. Anyway the plan is for her to come by here to exercise after work. We looked at the 30 day shred video but then I showed her a Zumba class on the internet. Her face just lit up while she was doing that. She was having fun because she loves to dance. She also got on the elliptical and wanted to do the "fat burn" program. I started her instead on the interval which is easier at the lowest settings. I had to tell her she needs to start out at a slower pace so she doesn't make herself so sore that she gets discouraged. This girl is the sweetest little thing, I just love her. She grew up in Puerto Rico and hasn't really learned healthy eating habits. I was surprised to learn that they don't have access to vegetables the way we do here. Well they do but they are really expensive.

I personally prefer to exercise in the morning so this will help me in that I'll be getting some extra exercise in in the evenings!

Better get going, Lots to do and a funeral to attend this afternoon. My friend's 94 yr old mother. And my daughter is supposed to be coming over sometime today.

OOOPS....:explode: Never mind...now my food will post! Who knows? Maybe my computer was just possessed for a bit! Hope that doesn't bode ill for the rest of the day! Bye again! Kackie

sigh, not having a good month, but at least i have maintained.
i need to get back on track and stopping eating cookies and cakes.
i work with all women who love to bring in "goodies" for lunch.
i wish i had some will power to just say "NO".

Hi everyone...

Well, in 6 days I'll be back home! It's been fun spending this time with my brother and his family, but I'm used to having lots of time alone, and I miss it. I want to be able to turn on my computer in the AM and check throughout the day with my favorite sites (mfp, poker stars, e-mail) and also have silence when I need it. I wonder if as we age we need more ME time? I know I do.

Hi to everyone here, but especially Mimi, rj, myny,Rebel and Kackie. I apologize if I've left anyone out. My brain is officially overloaded. I really need to get home!

Hello Everyone,

I have been MIA for a couple of days. Wednesday was a "lost day." I came home Tuesday night with a chill. It was warm enough inside my condo (74 degrees) for the AC to come one, but I was sitting with a polar fleece jacket on --freezing--and I ached from head to toe, so I took a hot bath and went to bed early. I got little sleep, due to apparently having a fever. It was a L-O-O-O-NG night. Every time I got out of bed, I felt very weak and shaky. I got so warm, I turned on the AC manually in the middle of the night. Finally by about noon, I began to feel like it wouldn't be a mistake to eat something, so I had half a protein shake and a Fiber One muffin.

By Wednesday afternoon, I was not aching quite as much and it appeared my fever had broken, but whatever this was, it came at a bad time. I need to spend time finishing up my studying hours for my insurance license and I ended up not studying for two days. :grumble:

Today I am alive and kicking once again. I took it easy yesterday, didn't even go out with the doggies. Times like those I really appreciate the "doggie door" option!!!

We all laid around all day and alternated between watching tv in the big chair and laying in bed dozing with the tv on. I slept well last night, and woke up at 5:30a!! Best part was rolling over and remembering how awful it was to have to get up earlier than that when my workday started at 5a!! I finally got up at a more civilized hour--8:30a.

One good thing that came out of my illness was that over two days I dropped 2.5 lbs!!--No doubt some of it was water, but it puts me a pound away from my lowest weight, so maybe by next week I can actually adjust my ticker in the right direction again.!!

Congrats to Vicki on the new addition to your family.:flowerforyou:

Laura--hope you have a nice uneventful flight. Wave at me if you fly over the Portland/Vancouver area on your way to Medford.:bigsmile:

WindMoonRain and Patti0909--Welcome, this is the place to be. Warning, posting to this thread can become addicting--and a great replacement for mindless snacking, as I don't know of anyone who can eat when they are keyboarding!!! Patti--after you say "no" the first time to something offered at work it gets easier. Also, if you substitute a glass of water for a mindless snack, you will feel full so it will be easier to stick to your decision to "just say no."

Ainslieglen--You have done well at maintaining contact and your routine while you were on your visit. You will be home before you know it.

Donna--Congrats on the loss. You could meet your May goal. All that grass you mowed last week will reappear just in time for some more cardio!!

Cindy--How wonderful that you can educate a "young un" to a healthier way of life. It is a testament to how well you have done that your family would look to you as a resource to help another person in need of direction.

To all those joining in the "gut n butt" challenge, I wish you well. Until I get my licensing exam out of the way, I can't get involved in anymore excuses not to study. Maybe we can have another later in the summer....

Now, for some fun before I depart. This morning, I had the Bonnie Hunt Show on as I was doing hair, etc. and she had a comedienne from Australia on named Julia Morris. I had never heard of her, but she was a riot. Below is a link to the Bonnie Hunt show website video area, where you can search for her segment. It is about 5 minutes long and is hilarious. She addresses the issue of feeling "hot" in a particular dress and then seeing herself in a picture later and perceiving things much differently. Her comments about PMS are also right on.

Here is the link:

If you want to see more of her, she has several clips on youtube. The one from the 2008 Comedy Gala is also a hoot.
You should be able to get to the neighborhood of her clips with this link, which brings up the comedy gala clip, and should show other options to click on off to the right side of the page:

I am sure Viv and Jackie have probably seen her, as from the clips, it looks like she has spent some time on UK tv as well.
Hope you enjoy her.

Well, I have to finish getting ready to go out. I am staying at my parents' place this afternoon so the cleaning person can get in, as they have an appointment during the time she usually comes in.

See you later,


Barb

Mimi-

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Donna - our first cat got sprayed by a skunk. Seriously, he smelled so bad that even HE couldn't stand himself. He'd lay in one spot, then move a few minutes later. Do you think he got the message that you should stay away from animals with a white stripe down their back? NOOOOO! Sure enough, he got skunked again. As I recall, our vet told us that really, tomato juice doesn't do much good. We had to get this special "skunk off" spray. I think that was the one and only time he actually let dd#3 hold him while he was being sprayed and didn't run away....lol

Robin - bet you look at yourself every time you pass a mirror! That's just great!

Congrats Vicki!

Cindy - It does feel good when you are teaching someone younger. I remember taking a class in strength training a few years ago. Here I was, twice the age of most of the students, but I was lifting sometimes twice as much weight! Boy, did that feel good, so I know how you're feeling

Happy, Happy birthday mimi! I remember when FIL retired he used to say "I don't know how I found the time to work". Well, now that dh is retired, I completely understand his feeling!

Welcome all the newbies. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a tall glass of unsweetened tea and jump right in!

Well, for the last 2 nights I have been sleeping on the floor in the bathroom with PJ. Note: a tile floor is HARD! Anyway, this a.m. Vince took PJ back to the emergency vet place. When we picked PJ up after the surgery, they said he should be eating by now. Well, he wasn't. When Vince took PJ there, his bp was dangerously low, systolic was like 30. They did get his bp back up, it doesn't look like there's any internal bleeding, but they want to find out why his bp went so low. Wouldn't be surprised one bit if Jessica came here. Whenever he'd walk, it was like he was dragging his back legs. At first, we thought it was because he was on the pain killer. Jessica said that what he's on is a controlled substance, so we know it's strong. Now we're not sure that's what was causing him to walk funny.

Michele

Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm once again trying to figure out this ticker in my signature.
