HI! I think I missed yesterday and not even sure why. Can't remember much about yesterday, except shopping, cleaning out the top of my sons closet and all of my daughters purses, math homework, and dishes and more dishes. Today was errands, going with the kindergarten on a museum trip, then regular afternoon stuff…

Hi! Well done. I'm 5'9", and I have to tell you that your goal weight is difficult to maintain. You'll diet the rest of your life. (I should know, I started dieting around your age, trying to reach 128. I eventually made it...for a very short time, still wasn't pleased with my appearance, and dieted off/on from that point…

Hi all! Val, good luck with the afternoon school/activity relay. I play that game of trying to rush-rush to maximize evening time everyday. Since the tutor is flexible and we depend on transit, one missed bus (running after it, but too late) can start a domino effect that will shift and wreck my whole evening. Laura, I now…

LOL threadstarter!! Marla, I wish I could take walks like yours! Our beaches are filled with beach clubs and cafes, etc. Your hikes sound breathtaking! As for logging, I had taken a very long destructive break last year, but have been logging consistently since January...the good, the bad, and the ugly. It does help.…

Marla, glad you're beating the sinus thing, one day at a time and that you got some sun. Laura, I've done tdee and mfp way, and there's definitely use for each way, depending on activity level variability and mental gymnastics (I've been counting calories for so long--decades--that I can subconsciously outsmart myself and…

Hi! It's me, back from my bad day yesterday. Thank you. Of course, y'all are right. I was just having an emotional rollercoaster day yesterday--highs and lows--with news from my family (low: my mom isn't doing too well, she has dementia & downhill fast; high: my sis might come visit in the Spring!; high & low: my lil girl…

Right leg hurting all day. Full pain, not "a little sore". In other words: it's back. I'm beside myself. I got too overconfident and wore different shoes the past couple days and even though I only walked very little, I guess it might've messed me up again. I don't know. I just can't believe I put up with this pain for so…

Sailing lessons! Fun! Enjoy. Well, my workout plan with the kids has been a flop. I guess "last hired, first fired", in that the newest addition to the routine is the first to get cut in a crunch. Art project yesterday (and son didn't even have regular art class today, grrrr), and a visit today from someone picking up…

I unchecked the "announce" box on that thread. I hadn't even noticed it up there. I guess I totally missed Tuesday. Oops. I was still lazy and groggy, but after a whole container of baking soda, I've nearly gotten the smell out. Had to help son wth art project, so didn't get time for our workout. Legs are doing pretty good.

Have a nice run. Today was a disaster here. I went to get something to calm down my wild cat. Within an hour of getting it home, she knocked it down and smashed it everywhere. She'd just smashed some flowers yesterday, so as I was cleaning the brown glass, I was still finding clear glass from yesterday, that I'd missed.…

Happy Valentine's Day! I'm pretty sore today from my workout with the kids yesterday! That's a good feeling, for a change. Basically, t.o.m. here, plus sore. Father in law and the kids greatgrandmother picked up the kids and took them to the country/beach. They played in her garden and picked flowers for me (awwww!) and…

^That I worked out at home from when lil girl was very young has always stuck with her and kept her interested in exercise. Wish I could've been that way when my son was little, but of course I went from working full-time to moving continents during that time and when I did workout, it was usually at a gym. Mainly I posted…

That weigh-in showed I was down in weight already, but since then my eating has been bad and the head cold had me being very inactive. Gonna wait till after upcoming t.o.m. before I weigh again. I need to get a grip on myself so I really CAN make this month count!

Laura, your session on the treadmill sounds like a stress test. Have you ever had one? I had my first in October and I had just gotten sinus congestion the night before and that definitely made it harder. Good luck with the conflict at work. Marla, I've done "angry walking" before...great workout!! And as Laura said...much…
-
val, have a nice strength set. Marla, nice trail walk to you. I could barely get out of bed today, but I think all the sleep helped. Son did FaceTime with tutor bc I just couldn't take him, no way. Lil girls a bit better an d will go to school tomorrow. I'm just trying to make it to the weekend, esp now tha I'm all out of…

Whoops, nearly didn't check in. Sick day with lil girl. She and I are both yucky, but she draws and writes and plays dolls, and I just lay in bed. Ugh. Anyway, feeling like Val's deflated bouncy house tonight (lol) and decided I needed an "eating day", to pack in some calories and carbs. Did that tonight and feeling a…

Amazing job! What commitment! Before the knife, you might want to look into cavitation and/or kryolipolysis with radio frequency. I've only seen it online, but basically it'd cavitate (burst) or freeze the fat that remains in that excess skin while also using RF to boost collagen to tighten the skin. It'd take lots of…

Wow! Congrats!
-
val, have a nice run. A 5k with sis this weekend sounds fun. I'd love to do smthg like that with my sis. Marla, I'm envious of all of your beautiful, mild weather, sunshiney, oceanside hikes! We have coast, but the concrete jungle goes right up to the beach...so no hiking. Laura, we are always in the same boat!…

Love the pics!

1) Guess I should weigh in tomorrow. 2) Surprising success! 3) Total fail :( 4) Stay tuned 5) Half and half. Intake is mostly on-track. Normal activity level is good. Would like to do more exercise, but apparently I'm not interested in exercise that isn't on my feet.

Blizzard! Brrrr! Snow is beautiful and peaceful and fun, but I'm a little happy to live without the disruption of blizzards. Situation is bad with parents all standing around talking and laughing about the emails (kinda childish) and I feel so bad for the Mom (married to the guy) because she gets in and out as quickly as…
-
Laura, that tri sounds cool! Good practice. val, sometimes when I think I've blown it, I find I actually just ate at maintenance and isn't it a relief! Sooooo, DAY THREE PAIN FREE! I mean, really pain free...not even stiffness when I get up. Not even Achilles tenderness. I swear, aliens abducted me and fixed me Thursday…

Okay you guys, this is incredible. This is my second day of not having that red-hot-poker-to-the-back-of-the-calf feeling! My calves have been a bit tight and I've massaged & will continue to massage, but I mean the bad, sudden pain has disappeared for two days straight!!! This, after all these months! I can't believe it!!…

Whoa! What happened since December? What a difference!!! Well done on all!
-
That rink sounds very nice. It's always nice to have something to watch when you run. Don't worry about the nuts. Just move on. I was so starving and fiesty last night. I decided an entire bag of chips dipped in fancy sauce (ketchup and mayo) would help. I was right. I felt human again in a way that salad would not have…

@sarahbri923 I am your height and would love to know how long this took and what your calories and workouts were to make 175 look so amazing!?!
-
^ I guess you can tell what's on my mind. Apparently I was a no-show here yesterday. I was pretty busy and I guess the day just got away from me. Basically, yesterday was my normal school-tutor relay. Had a sinus headache so I treated the kids to burgers out so I wouldn't have to cook. val, I have had my entire adult life…

My February 2016 Goals: 1) Weigh less at the end of the month 2) Take care of my legs 3) Mat workout 2x/wk 4) make more goals, if possible, according to the state of my legs (esp. re: some cardio and weightlifting) 5) Make February count!!!

Amazing! You should share your success story with Daniel and Kelli too!
