    leigh- I think the sarong is a good idea - but remember at the beach there are all shapes and sizes....it's not like a pool at a fitness center...

    also remember.....to those people who think we shouldn't be in a bathing suit- they are ugly forever and we can lose weight!!! :laugh:

    I just found out I passed Macroeconomics!!! It might've been with a really cruddy grade (low 60's) but that's what I get for not participating throughout the term. I'm just glad I can put it behind me and really concentrate on my next classes. Time to bring that GPA back up!!

    4 cups of water in so far...almost lunch time! :drinker:

    lcorrel... buy a really cute sarong to hide your hips/legs. That's what I do and it works great hehe.

    bec... I just had a yard sale a couple weeks ago and made over $250! So it's worth it to dig and find things. Most of what sold really well was the kids' old toys, kids' clothes, and big items like the Rockband we never play anymore, dog igloo, fire pit. good luck!

    I felt better yesterday but didn't want to push my luck, so had a pretty lazy day, but as I said, I have been drinking my water! Today, I'm ready to attempt exercise and see if I can make it without getting myself sick again. wish me luck haha.

    Thats what I am hoping for!! I just took 3 bags of clothes to GW though :( Well I dont feel that bad about that though. I plan on selling pretty cheap just to get rid of the clutter. Will prepare for next years ahead of time!! Of course I will have my current clothes to get rid of by then huh? hehe.

    bec, that's right, you'll have larger sizes to sell hehe. I priced my stuff really low too, which is why I think I sold so much. My friend didn't price her stuff as low (we did it together) and didn't make NEAR as much as I did. Those quarters add up!

    Well, 4 glasses down the hatch and about to drink another cause I just mopped my whole house and worked up a sweat! haha

    :smile: Well, it is Friday. i am now at 192.8 down from 199.8 on April 28th. This is when I get worried. I have not in the past been able to get below 190 then give up and i go back up to around 200-206 pounds. :cry:

    THIS time i am NOT going to weight in again until next Tuesday at the required time. Hopefully, this will help, and then next week I hope not to weight in again until the following Tuesday. I plan on staying focused and not giving in to numbers. :drinker: I have also lost 2 inches from my waist line but am still way up there!. I hope everyone has a geat weekend and stayes focused

    Yeah, you're completely right! I can see the logic, but for some reason it's just not going through. I think the sarong is a great idea. I will have to go shopping this weekend to find something cute. :glasses: And... I need to make sure my bathing suit still fits! I just thought of that!! :drinker:

    I'm just about at 70 ounces of water for the day. Today was a rough day baby-wise. She decided to fight me on nap time for two hours, so I didn't get anywhere near as much done as I usually do! I'm looking forward to an afternoon without her tomorrow but hoping the weather will hold up for me to get a walk in with her before I drop her off at Grandma's house!

    Still impatiently awaiting my first grade in my Econ class and the stress just keeps building the longer she goes without grading it. Is two weeks really too much to ask to get an assignment back?! I feel like I've been losing sleep and ignoring my daughter for a week for nothing! I'm going to try not to eat my weight in ice cream tonight to relieve the stress. Staying in and studying rather than exercising some days is killing me! I need the stress relief!

    Happy Friday, Blues! Be good this weekend!!! And drink up! :drinker: (water, not alcohol)

    I just got done jogging 2 miles with some sprints in there. I also did some walking after which felt great. I burned 1143 calories. :drinker: I'm so excited. I drank about 48oz of water again. :bigsmile: working out beats the crap out of you literally :laugh:

    I did a new class this morning a combination of step aerobics and kickboxing. WOW it kicked my butt and i have been working with a trainer for the last 8 weeks. I can't wait for next weeks class.

    I already have 48 oz in and it is only 11:30am here. Good luck today everyone, weekends are my downfall.

    Woohooo, fabulous job, j_g! And a fantastic job to everyone else exercising. I think I'll be back to normal with working out after this week.

    Rach - You must have more willpower than me because I'd be eating while making treats! A lil bit of chocolate for Mom... a whole lotta chocolate for ME! :wink:

    Well... I weighed in @ Weight Watchers this morning and am up 2 pounds. :grumble: I worked my bum off last week, so I was confused. THEN, I got a surprise. :angry: I'm on the depo shot, so I don't get TOM, but for some reason, I am now. It's close to time for me to get another shot, so maybe that's why. :indifferent: Either way, I'm going to blame it for the weight gain. :wink: :laugh:

    Any of you have special plans for Mother's Day? :flowerforyou: I was going to take mine to lunch and for a pedicure, but I found out she doesn't have time! She actually got mad at me. :indifferent: Thanks, Mom.
