    Morning everyone!

    Glad it's the weekend! I'll be bringing it later today. Not sure with what yet; it's rainy and dreary and around 50 degrees. Off to go shop for a bit (my favorite sport) and then I'll be back to Bring it!

    I'm old enough to remember when almost all women wore girdles & I can tell you.
    Yes. It helps your posture.
    because if you slump a little, it will break your ribs!!!!!!

    i need help getting back on the wagon!!!
    i have been sick for a few days so exercise was the last thing on my mind...
    add to that, on friday evening i met with my women's biking group (we bike between 20-40 miles every tuesday evening from april to october!) and we ate out at a big chinese buffet where we paid over $35 per person! it's hard for me to eat buffet style (way too much money/food!) but i figure i might as well enjoy it as i was paying for it! i didn't do too bad, mostly stir fried veggies with chicken and lots of fruit for dessert. (but i know how much sugar is in all those sauces...)
    then yesterday was my surprise bachelorette party!!!!
    it was awesome!!! (and we actually ended up biking about 20 miles plus walking all over brussels!) and then how can you say no to delicious picnic cosmopolitens, pita sandwhiches and creme brulee for dessert??? :love:
    i am still a little sick and i slept most of the day away, but i desperately want to get back on track.
    maybe i'll go try on my wedding dress... that should do it!

    We're having beautiful sunshiney spring weather here.
    I have lots of odd chores to do around here today, but the workout is a main part of the plan.

    meisje- Get yourself up & work off those extras! You can do it!

    :noway: :noway: :noway:

    Ok, that was a little harsh. :wink: Way to go on the biking. That's a lot of miles!
    I try to stay away from Chinese food in general...but 35 dollars is a lot of money for a buffet! As long as you didn't eat too many fried doughnuts. I forgive you. Does anyone else find it weird that the food they serve at Chinese restaurants and buffets isn't exactly an appropriate resemblance to what real Chinese people eat? There is NO way they eat all those sugar-laden, msg filled sauces on their rice and meat. And they for sure don't fry the food as much as those restaurants would make you believe.

    Ok, ok...it was your bachelorette party. You are likely not going to be having another one. We'll let this one slide.:wink: Obviously it's not something you're doing every weekend. And now you know you feel like crap, so you're less likely to do it again. I'd go try on that dress:tongue:

    :drinker: :drinker: Cheers to letting it go and getting right back to it!

    Quotes for the day: People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

    "I REFUSE TO BE DEFEATED"- by life, by food, by nay-sayers

    One is too many and a million is not enough. Describing those foods that are just best to avoid forever and ever.

    Speaking of Chinese food -
    We had a story in my 2nd graders' reading book about a kid in Chinatown (maybe SF) & many of the kids had no knowledge of the wok/veggie thing....they've been to a Chinese buffet that serves frozen yogurt, red jello & pizza...you get the picture. :huh:
    So I went to a local Chinese take out run by someone whose family is Chinese & explained. He said the only thing he serves that really is Chinese is the rice & egg rolls!:noway:
    Anyway, he put together a little takeout meal with a bite of everything for each student.
    What an eye opener!:tongue:

    I forgive you, although there's nothing to forgive really. EVERYONE falls off the wagon whether they'll admit it or not. This is a LIFE change so you're allowed to eat a not so great every so often. Your wedding dress will motivate you to get back on track anyways. :smile: You inspire me as well, I think you overall do a great job.
    The weather is great here, it's bright and sunny. Lovin it! :tongue:
    I can see a huge difference in my body from using the elliptical machine 3 or 4 times a day, so I'm going to get doing that with my weight training. =]
    Have a great rest of the day everyone =]

    Hello everyone! I haven't hardly been on here the last few days!! Busy busy but still at it, no worries! :bigsmile: I got in my 8.5 mile training run y'day and today was a much needed rest day. My 5yo is sick, took her to Convenient care but it is just a bad cold (102 fever, sore throat, non-stop drippy nose, cough). Poor kiddo.

    I signed up for another half marathon!!! Next month! I'm feeling so great training for the half in May that I'm going to do this one too! 2 of my running buddies are doing the full marathon and another buddy is doing the half with me. YAY!

    Hope you're all having a super weekend!

    Hello!

    Anyone is welcome to join. Just tell us about yourself and your goals...on the first page of the thread i have links to two of our old ones.

    However, we DO ask a few things...and it received some (ok, a lot) of criticism when I first posted it.

    So why are you here? Let us know some about yourself...

    Sorry I've been MIA but it doesn't mean I haven't been working hard! My scales aren't moving very much though and it's getting frustrating as it's been a few weeks with only a minimal downward trend. I am super good on my calories and I don't eat junk as part of it. I exercise every day so I'm not sure what is going wrong :-( This week I am going to cut our carbs for my evening meals just to see if that is causing me issues. I've been really careful with the salt and it doesn't appear that that was the issue. Gah!

    eat like a poor person at dinner time..it really works for instance tonight i had turkey breast,grapes,pineapple and cheese.....I steer clear of pasta and bread on a day to day basis but i know when i once tried to lose weight before the carbs killed it ...watch portion sizes too maybe go for whole wheat
