    Evening folks!

    As usual a quiet batman=a batman out of town. Glad to be home tonight though and glad to be catching up!

    Shuntae-Buy the dress, you totally deserve it. I myself will be rewarding myself with a custom taylored suit when I reach my goal. You'll look great and it's an investment in the new you!

    Vanessa-Sorry little O is still sick. Poor baby. I hate when my litte guys get sick. Lots of mommy kisses will make him better.

    Bobbi- Grats on the first 5k! I'm proud to be your pal. I hope the knee gets better. But I am most proud that you didnt use the knee as an excuse to skip it. I have my first one tommorow morning and gotta tell ya I am a bit nervous about the whole thing. lol It's supposed to rain too so it will most likely be a soggy experience. lol!

    Marla- NICE SHIRT! Grats on fitting into it! It's marvelous =)

    Lori-Your doing awesome!

    Sam-Your in the grove boss! You'll be ready for vaca in no time!

    To everyone else, your doing a great job! I gotta head to the gym for a quick workout with plenty of stretching to get ready for tommorow! lol

    They have been bringing in large boxes of doughnuts every day at work. A coworker who is morbidly obese made a comment that I must be having a hard time saying no. I explained that I no longer want it so it was not hard. She said it must be nice to be that way, but if the company is buying she is eating it. I didnt say a word.

    :laugh: :laugh: Jeannie, you crack me up--

    So, a bit of guidance if you please--

    So, this week, with all the nuttiness with grandma here, I neglected my diuretic/blood pressure medicine-- TOM began on Wednesday as scheduled, and I had the best two runs of my life Wednesday and Thursday with the medicines out of my system. Four miles both nights-- I felt stronger than I had since my 5k-- which was right before the surgery, right before the blood pressure started inching up, right before medicines.

    Blood pressure is now 149/78-- not alarming, not as good as it had been--

    But, here's the kicker-- I just got on the scale-- yeah, I know it's at night-- 178.5. My ticker reflects 166.5-- 12 pounds of water since last week--

    Not good--

    Yes, I know the answer-- but I hate being so weak from it-- my runs have been so hard, and were so effortless this week minus the medicines--

    Oh well-- curious as to your thoughts just the same--

    Don't you just love that? I work with girls who occasionally comment about when I skip the cake/donuts/leftovers from meetings (I usually skip but sometimes have a small portion), but gorge on it themselves and complain about gaining weight. Well, duh.

    My thoughts are ............is sucks you have to go back on your meds. HBP is nothing to mess with. I feel so bad for you because I know the difference it can make in how you feel. So get in one last run before you get back on the pills.

    Have you asked the doc if there is another med that can help w/o those side effects?? :heart:

    kills me. I also hate when ppl apologize for their lunch. If that was all it took, I would not have lost weight. I dont CARE what you eat, really truly I do not. I love you-period.

    Catching up here quick.

    Jeannie- I missed all your hoochie/dolphin fun while watching a movie. Oh well.

    Andrew- great luck tomorrow, you'll do fine and think of the crew waiting at the end cheering you on.

    Marla- for sure find out if there are other meds. If it makes you tired then that is a valid reason to want to try something else. You already know you don't have a choice. BP is not something to mess with. You have to stay healthy for all those kids. I took cozaar for high BP since I was 31, I stopped taking it after xmas cause I don't need it any more. I had virtually no side effects from it though, so there are some out there, look til you find one. Talk to your doctor. There are alternatives.

    April- good job avoiding donuts, soon you'll not be able to remember how much you love them.

    I'm sure there is more, but I can't seem to remember any of it. Grrr. Good night all!

    speaking of donuts-- :embarassed:

    I wanted one-- so I had one.

    Entenmann's products were on sale, so I bought some "for the kids.' Those chocolate do-hickies looked good--

    So, I figured-- eh, WTH-- it was yummy.

    Dave isn't here to yell at me-- ha ha--

    I'll look into the other medicines and see what's up--

    Worst part is the water retention-- eyelids, earlobes, ankles-- I go up a whole size in a week.

    Not fun--

    Have a good night all.

    Jeanie-I had missed the dolphin and hoochie girl too but now you reposted them. Haha! Very funny and who knows what they are hunching.

    Marla-I hope they get you some meds that will help with all that. I am happy that you got some great runs in this week. That has to make you feel really good!

    Sam-sorry about the confusion. I must have looked at the photo really quick and it just didn't click for me. I was in a hurry baking 2 different cakes this morning. One for a family cookout and one for my mom to take to the place they go every week. Sorry again!

    Andrew-Good luck on your 5K!! You will do awesome! And HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO YOU!!

    April-way to go on the no Donuts challenge. You are doing awesome!!

    Bobbi-Sorry for the confusion lady! Congrats on your 5K!! That's a great pic of you too! Great job!

    Vanessa-Sorry your boy is still sick. I hate it when my baby is sick.....makes me just feel so bad for her.

    Well I messed up on the challenge today. Mine was no soft drinks and no candy. Still haven't had any candy but I did have a soft drink. I took water to the cookout so I would have something to drink. Then hubby got some tea and gave me some. Then he went back and got coke and I told him NO! Then we went down the his family's lake to go fishing and had nothing to drink and his aunt went to the house and got something and we were so thirsty so I had to drink the soft drink. Uugghh!!! But I am back to no soft drinks again now. I thought I would go ahead and put my confession out there so ya'll could slap me one good time! Hope you are all well and having a great night!

    And for everyone that I missed, I hope you had a great Saturday and have a great Sunday and Father's Day too!

    Good morning team. I met my 5,000 caloire burn goal yesterday. It felt so good. I'm taking today off. Here's what it looked like:

    Monday: 1146 calories- Ran/walked 3 miles, 6 miles on the elliptical and lifted (shoulders)
    Tuesday: 1216 calories- Ran/walked 3 miles, elliptical 3 miles and lifted (legs)
    Wednesday: 777 calries- Ran/walked 2 miles, bike 3 miles, elliptical 3 miles, lifted (chest and triceps)
    Thursday: rested
    Friday: 1160- Ran/Walked 3 miles, bike 5 miles, 3 miles elliptical, lifted (back and biceps)
    Saturday: 874- Ran 2 miles, walked 4

    My heart rate monitor says a total of 5,173 calories for a total workout time of 10 hours.

    It feels good to have met the goal I set for myself. I realized a few things in the process. It's good to work out, it's good to push yourself, but you have to listen to your body. I'm not saying I'll never hit 5,000 or more caloroes burned in a week again, I just know that I have to fuel myself properly, listen when I need a break and respect what my body can do.

    So with that said, I want to thank my body for cooperating with me this week. I also want to promise my foot I will do lower impact stuff this week, not so much running and walking and give it a chance to feel better.
