    Yeah, they were bad. But orange juice and an orange really helped. The baby laid on the couch with me for a while which was some much needed snuggle time. :) I'm feeling much better today.

    We have speech therapy today and I'm not looking forward to it. He has to wear his cochlear's and he absolutely hates them. I mean panic attack when he sees them hates them. It's going to be a long hour.

    Happy Friday Pin-Ups!

    What an amazing and motivating group!

    The weekend is upon us and I know I'm probably not alone when I say that I have a hard time on weekends, especially with drinking my water.

    My goals for this weekend is to get in at least 8 glasses of water both days and at least 1 workout.

    Have a fabulous weekend ladies, stay positive, make healthy choices and try and stay active!

    Ok it's 5k weekend everyone and I have a *kitten* ton to do after work. Between laundry and packing and considering what food to take with me to San Diego so that I don't stray too far off my course, I'm a little stressed. Sigh...

    On top of that TOM is around the corner and I've worked out hard the last two days with very little sleep in between. I'm thinking a nap at lunch might be a good idea.

    Any one with big weekend plans?

    I HEAR THAT!!! I have a headache.... Boo.

    Kekibird- I'm going to San Diego next Thursday! I can't wait! I'll be there til the following Monday night- my friends and I rent a house on the beach for a weekend every year. I'm sooooo excited! My plan is to try to be on my best behavior. It's definitely going to be hard but I'm going to try to log everything & at least take a walk on the beach everyday. 60 degree weather definitely beats the below freezing temps we have in Chicago right now! Have fun! Good luck to you! :)



    I hope everyone has a great weekend! I'm going to behave this weekend and not drink- the last two weekends (Christmas & New Years) I drank and umm... lets just say I overdid it and was paying for it the next day (and at weigh-in!). Being hungover is terrible. I forgot what it was like. I usually don't drink like that. I'm definitely laying off the booze for a while. I want to have a great weight loss month! :)

    Yay for San Diego! My sister lives down there so while we're actually there for the race, we're going to spend some time with her. She's actually offered to take my son to the zoo for some auntie time which gives me some free time with my honey. Kinda stoked. We love San Diego and took the train down there twice this summer. So much fun!

    I've started taking a 30 minute walk in my lunch hour - so instead of just sitting at my desk reading the newspaper, I get an extra 2 miles a day!

    That's a great idea! I am having a hard time finding time to work out between work and my commute and taking care of my sweet daughter - I think I will try to walk at lunch too.

    That's what I do! And I walk from the train station to the office (about two miles) whenever it's not too cold. I'll also order carry-out from a place kind of far away (mile and a half or so) and walk and get it and then walk back, so I burn lots of extra calories and still get to "eat out"

    =( Poor lil guy. How old is he? Glad you're feeling better, and I hope you don't leave there with a headache!

    He's almost 14 months. He did okay, he fought with her but he did better than we expected him too. But once we got there the batteries were dead so now they're charging and he doesn't have them on. We're going to keep at it for a few more months and see what exactly it is that he doesn't respond well too. I think it's probably just the noise itself and if it's going to drive him crazy every time we have them on then we'll do something else.

    I've heard that can be really tough, like you said, there's just SO MUCH to hear that it can be scary. I remember when I was younger my brother had tubes put in his ears because he was constantly getting ear aches. Even the difference in noise that made really scared him and took him a while to adjust to. Keep with it, you guys will figure it out =)

    What an motivating group! I would love to jump in if possible. My current weight as of 1/3 is 148.
  • I started out my week really strong, and then . . . I died.

    Didn't workout yesterday and was over my calories.

    Didn't workout this morning, and I only have 350 calories left for the day. And the way I'm feeling right now, it's going to take a monsterous effort to make myself workout when I get home.

    I need to get one more cardio in to meet my workout goal this week, and I'd like to try to get in a strength workout, too.

    The weekends are the hardest for me, so I'm dreading the Monday weigh in. But at the same time, it's the motivation I need to keep it clean over the weekend!!

    Great job this week, everyone!! You're all so supportive and motivating!! And it's so nice to hear some of the complaints and know I'm not the only one!!!!! :)

    You know, this happens to the best of us, but the important part is that you are not dwelling on it and moving on!! You go girl.

    It'll be okay, Rach! Just have lots of water and get a good work out in!

    Even without working out I could manage to stay within my maintenance calories for today, but since my bf has agreed to go running with me I'm not worried about it. I should burn about 300cal so I will eat a light dinner and stay in a bit of a deficit. Bad mood caused by guilt and self-pity, avoided. :smile:

    Ran/walked 2miles today according to week 1 of c25k. I've been repeating it trying to improve my stamina a bit before I move on. I want to be able to do all the runs without sacrificing my form.

    Anyway, the first mile I did in UNDER 13min!!! I don't think I've EVER done that before!!! In high school I think I did 15min miles because you HAD to so I just ran maybe a quarter of it total and walked the rest.

    Total I did both miles in 27.30 so average 13.45min mi. Not horrible!!! Especially counting the coughing fits!!

    I'm all smiles tonight. :happy:

    WTG on that mile Rach!! I can't wait til I can do the same !

    Well, tonight is my 5k...it's gonna be VERY cold, but I'm not wimping out, even though all my friends that were going to go with me did :( But my hubby will be cheering me on from the sidelines and that's all that matters :)

    No clue how long it will take them to get the results in, but hopefully early this coming week.

    Enjoy your weekend everyone!
