Also thanks for posting because I just realized I forgot to take my pill.

I've had Hashimoto's for a long time and with or without medication, it never affected my ability to lose weight. I have had no luck keeping it off but I suspect that has more to do with my terrible diet and sedentary lifestyle than anything else.

Oy, I had my period last week for the first time in 20 months (yay breastfeeding). I felt like I was twelve years old again, it was AWFUL. And I ended up gaining nearly five pounds and I could not stop eating. I was a bottomless pit. It finally ended and after the bloat went down I was only up a half a pound so I guess it…

From near south suburbs, now so far out west that some don't consider it a suburb anymore.

Also, you look fabulous!

Wow, that is a great help in visualizing the difference between dieting and being fit!

Well I'm re-configuring how often I''m doing it so when I count back I just finished L1D8. Some parts are getting easier and I switched to higher hand weights because the strength stuff was way too easy.

I skipped today and went jogging instead. I'm really, really bored with the DVD so I think I'm going to drop down to a few times a week and jog on the off days.

I'm really bored with it, too.

That is so totally fantastic, congratulations!

Another for the Polar FT4. It's super easy to use.

I did something to my foot earlier while I was riding my bike so I took it pretty easy on the DVD today. I didn't want to all out skip the day so I just did what didn't hurt and then substituted that stuff for the stuff that did. I didn't burn nearly as much as I have been on other days according to my HRM. ALSO! I figured…

Grilled cheese with grape jelly.

Ha, today was the first time I did it while my kids were awake and my two year old was trying to sit on my belly during the ab bits! He also kept trying to commandeer the yoga mat I was using (they do yoga- or as he calls it, "boga"- at school and he was really excited about the mat). Other than that it was not too bad.…

Those are fantastic!

Done! It is definitely getting easier! And I was barely sore from yesterday! My weight did go up a pound but I'm not concerned about it, I had salty food yesterday.

I've never heard of Locks of Love selling the hair instead of donating it but I have heard several times of salons claiming they are collecting for Locks of Love when in actualty they are selling the hair to extension/wig companies.

How fast is the ice moving? Ah, I guess it doesn't matter. Ice. Would you rather lose an arm or a leg?

Yeah, I'm at that same stage- it's brushing my shoulders but I have all these weird layers growing out so it's difficult to pull it all back in a pony tail. I can get it in two little tufts if I pull it really tight but the front still falls in my eyes. And to top it off I have the weirdest shaped occipital ridge so…

Oh, also, my shorts fell off today while I was carrying my baby. I didn't have a free hand to grab them and they just slid down. I just got them like two weeks ago and they barely fit me then!

Done! I skipped yesterday and was afraid that today would be really hard but it was actually the easiest one yet! I am getting better at push-ups already, I'm stunned! Feeling good.

Push-ups are the hardest thing for me but I can already tell it's getting a bit easier. I also really dislike the jumping jacks but I have huge boobs and it's really painful. So whenever she's all "there is no modified version of a jumping jack" I'm all "easy for you to say, mosquito bite". So I've been either jogging in…

Took day four off, just didn't have time. I'm alright with it though, I walked ALL DAY LONG so I don't feel like I slacked too bad.

I cannot manage those bicycle ones, I just am not coordinated enough.

I was so sore today but I feel a bit better now that I've done the DVD. I think I might do it in the morning tomorrow.

Oh I want braces so bad.

You look fabulous! Great job!

Owwwwwww. Also, every time she calls one of her assistants "buddy" I want to smack her.

Well I usually bike a few miles each day and walk a few also. I think I'll pick that back up in a few days but I am still f-ing sick so not yet.

I was sore this morning but nothing too bad. I was actually going to skip today because I'm ill but I figured I'd give it a shot anyway and take it easy if I needed to. I did ease off a bit, the cardio was bugging my cough so I kinda of jogged in place for it mostly and there was a big difference in calorie burn per my HRM…
