  • Beeps, are you saying that only 10 minutes of cardio is all I need if I lift heavier? Can you send me some links to that effect? I hate cardio, and would be more than happy to limit it to 10 minutes, but I'm thinking that won't be enough of a calorie burn for me. Give me some more information on that. And I'm still not…
  • OK. So, yeah. I've slipped up. Went crazy a couple of weeks after finding out my son will soon be deployed AGAIN, less than six months from his homecoming from his last deployment. Hubby was dealing some depression (he's fighting cancer) and my mom, God bless her, is a little older now and needs a little more loving care…
  • Got to do a little better. Today I got up early and worked my hour at the gym before work. I'm hoping I'll get into this habit. It seems to work out better for me if I can go before work. It's just the getting up that will take some getting used to. :sad: Question for all my lifting homies: I find that splitting up my…
  • Although I can't say I've ever hated a movie, I came close with a few. I was talked into seeing "The Thirty Year Old Virgin". I thought it extremely pointless, humorless, and classless. Most disgusting and uninteresting movie I ever spent money on. The American Pie movies are a close second.
  • I try to stay pretty open minded about foods and will usually try anything once. But one thing I have NEVER been able to try is fish. I simply cannot get past the smell. Friends and family have prepared it every way imaginable to get me to try it, to no avail. And I live in a coastal, southern state where it's served in…
  • The drawer of my desk is begging for me to open it and take out the Halloween candy I hid in it yesterday. Why do I sabotage myself?????:sad:
  • I'm thinking a nice long cruise with a new bathing suit. But nooooo bikini. :noway: NO one wants to see this 47 year old in a bikini. :huh: Not with all the weight loss and new muscles in the world. You cannot erase time. :smokin:
  • Combo lifting = cardio workout today. Upper body. Trying to get those bat wings gone! :bigsmile: Didn't do so well this weekend. Too much down time always, always, always leads me to the fridge. I cannot seem to be able to relax at my home unless it involves lots of food that is bad for you. One of my issues is that I grew…
  • My name is Julie, but you can call me Jules as most people do. :flowerforyou: I love God with all my heart, but often fall short of His expectations for me. :sad: I am a nurse by trade, and a writer in my heart. :heart: I have struggled with food addiction and weight loss all my life, and it is only in the last year or so…

  • Cool Whip ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS COUNTS!!!:flowerforyou: And my son thinks I'm cool when i have the freezer stocked with pizza and mozzarella sticks. :bigsmile:
  • LOVE IT!!!! Actually, I'd kind of like to do that same thing sometimes....think it would work????
  • Well, since I'm NOT doing what I'm supposed to be doing today...another brainstorm (she says with her tongue firmly planted in her cheek)... W work A achieves R results ehh...kind of sounds like an acronym you'd find at a Tony Robbins seminar. :huh: I give up. Mission Slimpossible sounds good to me. As long as I get to be…
  • Good point. Back to the proverbial drawing board. :yawn:
  • This sounds like the group for me!!! I definitely want in. Have decided upon a group name yet? How about: B-butt kicking A-avenging B-bombshells E-exuding S-sexiness
  • Helloooo to all the new cool kids in town!! And to the ones from across the pond, Cheerio!!:flowerforyou: Well, my passive aggressive scales TOTALLY let me down this morning. No weight loss, but no weight gain. :grumble: I'm blaming it on FTS. For those of you who don't live in the South, that's an acronym for "fixin to…
  • Happy Friday, y'all!! It's a balmy and humid 76 degree day here in SC!! :glasses: Beeps and Scribb: thanks for the protein references. I guess, specifically, I'm asking for a recommendation for some shakes or bars that I don't gag on trying to get down. I do eat meat, mostly chicken and turkey because I try to limit my…
  • Happy Thursday, group!! :flowerforyou: This is actually my "wednesday" because I have to work Saturday, but hey, you guys that are off this weekend have a blast. :drinker: Next weekend I'm going to the Smokies for a long weekend and wearing my slammin' new boots. :bigsmile: Been trying to get my protein in, and just…
  • Ewwww....Monday. Wow. I can really tell I overdid it at the State Fair on Saturday. Foot long corn dog, half a funnel cake, candy apple. :sick: Since I've been eating cleaner, I can really tell the difference when I don't. I feel sluggish, bloated, blah. :frown: On the other hand, it's a good lesson as to how different…

  • <47 and fabulous!!!!!! :bigsmile: Anyone can add me! I don't respond to all posts, I DO try to respond to all scale and non-scale victories, and will dispense opinions and advice only when asked. :happy:
  • I think this. Didn't read the books, but I've heard plenty from those that did. Not really my cup of tea. :drinker:
  • Mornin'all my 40+ and fabulous peeps! It's a clear, sunny and cool day here in SC. Not as cool as I would like it to be so I could wear my slammin' new boots, but cooler than it has been! :glasses: Night off last night for choir practice. We are already practicing Christmas music!! What???:huh: Hoping to get to the gym for…
  • Haven't posted on here in a while. Just dropping by to say any fellow South Carolinians, native or transplanted, can add me as a friend. I love to travel around my beautiful state on day trips and explore areas off the beaten path, so if you know of someplace cool to visit, drop me a line. <lives in a small town in Lower…
  • Ha! I remember this. My favorite eighties song was "She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dolby. I still listen to it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IlHgbOWj4o ****************************:glasses: :glasses: :glasses: :glasses: :glasses: :glasses: ************************************
  • Good Wednesday Morning!! Got my coffee in hand, ahhhhhh...pumpkin spice, how I've missed you!! :drinker: Got to the gym yesterday and had a great workout. I cannot believe how much my attitude has changed in the 10 months I've been exercising regularly. I used to be one of those people who absolutely HATED, HATED, HATED…
  • Top of the Tuesday mornin' to ya! Had a hard time getting motivated this morning, but my Pumpkin Spice coffee surely did help. Here in the great state of SC we cooled down a bit this week, going from a high in the mid eighties to the mid sixties, but warmer weather is slated to return at the end of the week. Personally, I…

  • Beeps -- I shall visit dog and cat food web sites from now. Nothing could be less appetizing, and cute and cuddly four legged critters won't drive me insane with rock hard abs. :bigsmile: sdereski -- Don't be hatin'! :laugh: wyattsmomjoy -- Is runkeeper an apple or android app, or both? I have an Ipod and Ipad, but an…
