Nice start guys! We all fall off the wagon, question is, will you get back on now or later? NO EXCUSES!! You can do it! :flowerforyou: I am three for three on workouts this week. Not great on the diet, but I tend to do one or the other when I get started. Good news is the only thing that hurts my rib is crunches, so no…

mon-taebo tues-run wed-taebo & gazelle (ate pizza buffet and need some serious cal burn :tongue: ) need to go back and read last few days of posts... like I said, crazy two weeks, so incase I'm not here, know i'm thinking of you all & feeling guilty for not posting! Happy hump day, Arianne :bigsmile:

Yay! So I ate bad at luch, but just ran 4 miles and walked 1; so fair trade off! Hope the rest of you get in all your goals today! Arianne :wink:

Good morning! :flowerforyou: I am still giggly after my tae-bo experience last night (read yesterday's post) so I think I'll sneak in an extra workout and go for a run after lunch. Question. Do any of you have huge fluctuations in your weight within a week? ie. Last monday I was 147, tues I was 142, wed 145, sat 152, today…

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I attempted tae-bo basic tonight. All I can say is there's a reason I'm a runner! :laugh: I would have had you all lying on the floor trying not to pee yourselves 'cause you were laughing so hard at my lack of coordination. Then the stupid guy says to double-time it?!?! What the…

Hey everyone! So, I am in the most insane three weeks of my schedule; one week down, two to go. ie. in the next month, I have 7 days that don't have games scheduled. That doesn't count daily coverage, teaching & working at the restauran :noway: I started Monday on the challenge with all of you, but took a mental health…

I swear by the tape measure!!! I:tongue: have taken my measurements: bust, waist(at bellybutton), hips (at bones & widest part), thigh & bicep for over a year. When the scale wouldn't move, the tape measure was my motivation. It's amazing to look back at the numbers and realize how much volume I have lost. When I started…

I agree, we have a lot of "lurkers" reading but not posting. Are we really that entertaining? Or maybe just really that crazy :laugh: !!! I think many people feel like they can't post because we carry on a lot of conversation here. I feel awkward jumping into someone elses post when it's like that... So, I propose a Tax…

Good Lord, you ladies have been busy the last few days! so much to catch up on: Mary & CP-awesome job, viv-did you try taking a benadryl? Sounds like allergic reaction, Melissa-we all have those days (husbands & kids!) better to let off steam than have it compound and explode... did I miss anyone? So I continue to feel a…
-
No idea what it is Melissa. I was putting on a t-shirt for pjs last night and happened to look down and noticed when my arms were up overhead I now have a bump right over the sternum/rib area. I talked to our campus nurse (works in local ER) and we agree I probably did something stupid (nah, not me!!!) yesterday hauling…
-
Good morning! :flowerforyou: Wow, not even 8:30 and I don't know what to do with myself. So I didn't get up as early as I am supposed to, but only 15 min shy! This extra 45 min in my day is going to be huge. It helps I don't have to work this morning too! :laugh: So I did 30 min on my gazelle last night; went ok except for…
-
Well, I am going to do at least 30 min of something here in a few... awoke friday with 100+ temp, got sent home from work, slept all day only eating a can of soup before climbing back in bed; repeat saturday till fever broke around 4pm. Sunday husband had fever, so while not 100%, I had Ian all to myself. Super lucky he…
-
Hi. So I've been keeping up with posts, but nothing positive here so I stayed away. I have still not kicked my grunge (started beginning of Jan), had to get a chest x-ray (normal) for my rib pain on the right side, am back on steroids, a second inhaler, expectorants, and still can't workout 'cause it hurts to breathe deep.…
-
Renae, hang in there & congrats (weight & Niece). My best friend (since the 4th grade) just moved to Korea to be with her husband. They got married a month before us, he deployed to Iraq a week later, then she shipped to Germany for 3 years while he served 2 stints back-to-back. I know what she went through; a lot of long…
-
Mary, is it directly in the middle of the back or slightly to one side? Middle would probably be a popliteus muscle issue, sides would be hamstrings. Remind me what,when,how you hurt it and I'll think on my end! :wink: Prayers to Monica for a safe return from sea! :flowerforyou: I did my upper body lift; still need to do…
-
Melissa, never apologize for saying too much... you're an inspiration to everyone here. I know I enjoy "keeping up" with all that goes on in all our SBFers lives. Even though we haven't met, we've shared some of our best & worst here. I feel like you're some of my best friends. :glasses: I understand about the nursing…
-
Renae, how old is the munchkin? I guarnatee you can work in your "work out" with kids around. Ian is a solid 30lbs so playing airplane (lie on back, he lays on my feet while i lift him up in the air) or even smply letting him ride on my shoulders while I do things is a workout. I'm never as tired after an hour workout as…
-
Melissa, that looks amazing & the video is too cute! Great job :flowerforyou: Mary, without exercise, all that "other" stuff would drive me insane. It's MY time and I can tell when I don't get it, psychologically and physically. Last night was a planned pig-out night. I thoroughly intended to eat until I popped, but ended…

Look into SAD (seasonal depression). You may just need to get some fresh air and sunshine in your body. Sounds simple but works wonders! :flowerforyou:
-
Nice job ladies! Finish of January with a bang!!! :drinker: My official "weigh-in & measure" will be Sunday prior to partying!!! Thank God the super bowl is after this planned assessment :laugh: I'm feeling much better but still taking it easy getting back into the cardio. Coughing spasms are bad when they hit so trying to…

Ohhhhhhhh! Forgot to tell everyone, just got a call from MIL that FIL cancer tumors in liver are shrinking!!! For newbies, he was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in Aug/Sept, was given 6 months-2 years to live (only 53 years old), had tumor & majority of colon removed in Dec, had CT scan last week showing…
-
Wow, welcome to all the new faces! :flowerforyou: It's been the same crew here for about a year, some come, some go, but all are welcome! I am finally on the mend. I managed to "sleep" through the night without a coughing episode and woke refreshed for the first time in weeks. My washer finally thawed out (exterior-type…

Hey guys. Sorry I disappeared. I worked a lot this weekend (school & restaurant) and didn't have any energy to workout. Thurs/fri my crud becam nasty laryngitis. Monday I sucked it up and Tues saw Doc. His response was "well, I don't think it's pneumonia!" :noway: Guess I should have gone a little sooner! Now I'm a walking…
-
Yay Niccole! :flowerforyou: Of course we remember you! Welcome back. Great job on the maintainence, I think that's the hardest part. Well, the lungs are hating me so I only walked on the treadmill today. Lifting yesterday was getting my heart rate up and I didn't want to risk an asthma attack without my inhaler, so played…
-
I assume by "had it in my legs the other day" means that has gone away? Have you just begun working out or increased your routines? It sounds like it may be delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) which usually peaks 1-2 days after your workout. Make sure you are taking the time to cool down and stretch and try some…
-
I have some stern words for you Texans complaining about the cold. Um, yeah, it's single digits before windchill here! hush up (you know who you are :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ) So I sucked it up and hit the weight room after heading to bed early again last night (meaning I skipped my workout). It's just so hard to breathe. I…

Definitely sending a "healthy" vibe to everyone, souds ike eee eeeed ipppp (that's what I sound like) :laugh: Mary, walk/jogging a 12 min? Heck, somedays thats a good run for me! Kudos! :flowerforyou: V- stay strong. They run in my family, so I understand the frustration. My older sister has had a lot of problems, mom had…
-
Hang in there everyone! Tomorrow is hump day, so almost done with another rough week (for most of us). I worked the restaurant last night; only two tables came in the entire time & I didn't get one. Pretty much a wasted night. I didn't feel good, came home and went to bed (so not me; usually up till midnight but 9pm?) I…
-
Nice call Melissa. Yeah, probably too chilly for Alex but the fresh air might clear up his cold? I did one of my 30 min bands-videos this morning before coming into work. Pulling a double today, so need to be really good about getting on gazelle tonight after restaurant. I have to balance the toning with the cardio. And…

Bobbie, you never know what can happen. And keep in mind that what may be a pay cut can have more than offsetting benefits! Every institution I have been at provides free classes for you (most times spouse & children too!) Look into programs of interest and use them as bargaining points for your salary/benefits! The cost…
