FromHereOnOut - Rockin' the circuit training and good luck on your run! maureli - Your pizza sounds divine! That is one of my biggest weakness! Hurdisnie1 - I did some semi-Cinderella cleaning myself this weekend! Pam - You really kill that P90X! I just pulled bushes out from in front of our house. I do not have a green…

911 dispatcher here! We've talked for years about getting the desks that raise to standing position. Maybe we'll get them in our new comm center (when it happens!). Lucky you! :smile: BTW, based on your tickers you've got some awesome losses going on!

Holy wow! Great job!

Took the kiddos to the park today for a playdate and took a cue from the other moms that workout at the park. So, I did 50 squats and 50 pushups.

I didn't read all the responses - sorry. If you have to ask the question, then you already know the answer. If I were your friend, I would have no issue. If I think about it, the majority of my wardrobe has been donated to me from my sister, more than one friend/co-worker, a childhood friend, you name it. I also hate…

Isn't that a great feeling? This is where I am as well. Can't wait until I'm in a 10! My husband gave me a big hug and said, "Oh, wait... Look! I can reach around you and grab my elbows!" :happy:
-
That really IS a HUGE difference! That looks more like 2 lbs x 10! Keep up the great work!

Great job! You look fantabulous! :bigsmile:

I will continue to lift heavy stuff! :smile:
-
I didn't get my lifting done this morning because I got in a long overdue chat with my dad. Then, the usual hustle and bustle. Made a cute one-eyed, one-horned, flying, purple people eater on a classroom door at my daughter's school. By the time afternoon and evening rolled around, I just wasn't feeling it... BUT - I did…

I wear a bright orange vest and go against traffic so that I can see who's coming. I live in a very rural area, so traffic isn't as bad as it is in the city. Glad everyone that posted about close calls and actual accidents are okay!

At my heaviest, I was asked this question and had it implied that I was pregnant twice within a week. When I was asked when I was due, I was caught off guard and simply responded, "Oh, I'm not pregnant. This is leftovers from the other three." If I would have been quicker on my feet, I would have just thought up a due date…

FromHereOnOut - I lol'd at the "fembot" comment! I'm a little leary of shin splints from past experience, but it hasn't happened to me again here recently. Of course, I'm not running all THAT much just yet! :wink: maureli - Great run yesterday! Lucky you, with your personal workout area in the basement! I miss basements -…

I can help out too. I usually get on pretty late at night for my last log on, so if I get on and don't see any for the next day/week, I'll post some. No promises that the quotes won't be duplicates! :laugh:

I have ruined many a shirt by rubbing my belly against the countertop when I've recently wiped it down with bleach. The other day I was doing dishes and I was wearing a shirt that had not yet been ruined, so I kept backing up to make sure I didn't rub against the counter. I happened to look down after doing it a few times…

@Pam - I had a rough, just down day yesterday, too. The Boston marathon, West explosion (I live about half way between Houston and Beaumont), a local VFD couple's 20 month old died when accidentally run over by a family vehicle and the area FD's escorted him from the ME's office all the way to the local funeral home. Then…

I got my SL's done in the lovely humidity that is SE Texas. Talk about dripping sweat. Sheesh. My husband likes to lift weights to heavy metal screeching, whereas I prefer more upbeat. I usually do 80's, but today decided I'd go back another decade to the 70's. I put it on Pandora Disco, but somehow it seemed more like…

*bump* I have a few tattoos and I never thought I'd want any on my arms, but lately I'm thinking I may want a half-sleeve. Anyhoo, I want to see some ink, ladies with sleeves! :smile:

Did my SL5x5 this morning as planned. It's getting easier to convince myself to do it. As the temperature outside is rising, I'm getting more of a sweat out of it. My weight bench is in the garage, so I open the garage door to get some ventilation and then go to work! I also feel like I'm doing more now that my weights are…
-
Thank you and I will! :tongue: I know, because it really does! I don't know if I had a big, goofy grin on my face or not, but I was beaming on the inside!

A female co-worker that doesn't see me all the time said, "Dang, LIz! You're looking good! Not hitting on you or anything, but you look good!" I can finally see a difference in myself in the mirror - this is a big one for me. I see it in my face more than my body, but I CAN see it and that makes me happy. :smile:

Got busy yesterday and didn't have a chance to check in. I got my SL5x5 knocked out in the morning, helped the lumberyard delivery man unload our materials for the porch my husband is building (including two 80 lbs bags of concrete), and then had to rush to a parent meeting at my daughter's school about spring festival,…
-
I'm not sure if it came from the lower number on the scale this morning or just knowing that I needed to get it done, but I found some motivation laying around. I did my StrongLifts 5x5 and then took my two year old with me for a walk/jog in the the jogging stroller and logged in just over two miles. Today was just a taste…
-
I had planned on making today a weight lifting day, and I entertained the idea of a kidless run earlier in the day, but.... a nap won out and I got up thirty minutes late from that. So, then it was rushing around baking cupcakes decorated like baseballs for after my son's game today (today is his actual birthday), picking…
-
I jumped on the trampoline with my two youngest for ten minutes straight. The rest of the time we kind of wrestled and played on it. I went way over on calories today, but it was my son's birthday party, so I'm not sweating it. Great job everyone on staying active!
-
Oh, no injuries. I've taken off the last two weeks (slacking) and I'm sore from the two workouts since I picked back up in the last three days. My muscles are feeling much better today though. Thanks for asking! :flowerforyou:
-
Somehow I convinced myself to get my StrongLifts5x5 out of the way this morning before dragging all four kiddos to my son's baseball game. I have an easier time doing it by myself than with my husband, because it takes half the time. I'm still sore from taking off two weeks. Hoping maybe in a couple more days my quads…

All of the NSV's made me smile reading them today! :smile: Speaking of not looking one's age, a lady told me yesterday that I didn't look my age with my 8 year old son with me. Although, she may have been waxing me over to get me to buy the expensive cosmetics that I ended up caving on. Ah well, I'll take it where I can…
