Oh no! I am hoping you are not getting sick! I am finally feeling better. It took almost 3 weeks, a round of steroids, a round of antibiotics and copious amounts of NyQuil and Musinex but I am feeling about 85% normal. Today was the first real workout back and it was a rough one. Between being sick, not working out for…

Sadly still not enough sleep. The cough is getting better but still taking too long to get over it and sadly the Rx cough medicine isn't that helpful. But everyday is a little better than the last. I really hoped I could be working out by now but it just isn't looking good. I think getting hit with every bug at once just…

Haha I am right there with you about planning for black friday shopping. I already have a list brewing. Yeah I am feeling better today but still not normal and I didn't get much sleep last night so I am hoping after a good nights sleep I will be able to get a workout in tomorrow. I am hoping but we shall see. I might not…

Well the cold moved into my chest over the weekend and I completely lost my voice from it. Like nothing but a whisper comes out. Thankfully the stomach virus is gone since that was what was keeping me from doing anything but clearly I am still sick as a dog so I caved and went to the doctor since this is day 12. But good…

I am here again but still not so good. I had lots of stomach distress again last night and I am hoping that was just the bug making its final exit. :laugh: It is just so weird though. I have both cold symptoms and stomach flu symptoms. I don't know if I have taken more pepto or dayquil. I am not sure if it is all one big…

I am halfway back. I have no idea what happened. I only had a cold over the weekend. Then I felt good on Monday morning and had a workout but by noon I felt so sick to my stomach. I roughed it out the rest of the day and ate a little bit of dinner but that was a big mistake. I was sick and up all Monday night and have been…

I am sorry you had such a rough Friday as well. I actually ended up going home at lunch I felt so crappy. I am hoping things got better for you. That sucks that he got pulled off for doing the right thing! I know how the system can often fail. One of the reasons I had to get out of practicing family law. :sad: Hope you day…

Thanks. Today I am feeling extra crappy. Both from my being sick and my weigh in . Up 4lbs. Yep a whole 4 pounds. Yeah I am sure it isn't a solid 4 pounds of fat but you know it will take weeks to see 4 pounds drop on the scale so you can imagine how pissed I am. I haven't seen a number that high on the scale in almost a…

Ohhhhh Kahlua and cream! That sounds lovely :laugh: Yeah we are in Dallas right near down town in a 1920 house so there are always repairs to be made. We looking at moving to the burbs of Dallas to 1) to get a bigger house, 2) to get a newer house, 3) to get to a more child friendly area, and 4) better schools. Our house…

Ok well I will have to fight the stress eating HARD since we signed with a realtor and will have the house on the market in less than 2 weeks. Pictures are being taken in 12 days. This was all my husband's timing so he claims he is going to take the brunt of all of it but we shall see since often things just happen to…

The party went wonderfully. A total success, other than for my diet! Since it was a nacho bar I went a little bonkers on the queso. I can not imagine having 2 kids since as soon as Josie gets sick we all get sick!! I am sure if we had another kid it would just be a constant cycle of illness. Yeah I can throw my husband in…

Oh this past weekend was an epic fail on all diet/fitness fronts. My husband decides to clue me in Friday afternoon that he has a realtor coming on Sat at 11 to check out the house. UUGGGGHHHH.......ok? So all Friday night and then all Sat morning I was cleaning and decluttering and then the realtor shows up and we go…

Haha! Good to know about the CLX. I have 15 days left on S90 but I think it will probably take me a few more days to finish out since I don't think I will have a chance to workout on Sunday (Mike's big party) and other random days off like Thanksgiving and stuff so I am more than likely look at 20 days out. Interesting to…

Happy Halloween! Ah yes I can't wait to hear how round 2 goes on CLX. Yeah for us we had the Halloween party on Sat and then daycare (aka "school") did a big parade thing where kids walk around in their costumes and get candy. For that she was a peacock. We were not planning on taking her real trick or treating until next…

So glad there was no damage or problems from Sandy. I think my 92 year old grandfather in NJ made it out unscathed as well but we are waiting for the final report this morning. He is near a river and his property had flooded about 4 times (really badly) since the 60 so we were all hoping that this one would miss him. Hmmmm…

WOOOO HOOOO!! Congrats on finishing the program!:flowerforyou: Doesn't it feel awesome to finish (even if the results are not what you expect). Speaking of results, are you taking some "after" photos to see what the last 3 months have brought you? Can't wait to hear your thoughts on CLX especially after doing S90. I am not…

I was up a pound for my weigh in, which I logged. No surprise there. I don't think cutting the calories back during the week seems to help me but I always have to try. :laugh: I am just trying to workout hard and keep the eating somewhat in check for the holidays then I think I will get crazy on the diet at new years…

yes

Oh I totally understand it. Ever since I lost all the weight I treat every event I go to as a fashion show. I am already planning out my outfit for Josie's 2nd bday! haha I am bad. If I have an excuse to buy a new outfit I use it :laugh: Thankfully I am cheap and shop at places like Ross so we don't go broke :laugh:…

Are you a Payless girl? They have some cute boots that are wider in the calves and you can't beat their prices, especially if it is not something you are going to be wearing all the time. Always worth a shot just make sure you google for some printable coupons first. I would hate to be an accessory to the crime of paying…

Oh and yes the dress was a huge hit! I got so many complements. It was sort of crazy since I wore it to another function a few weeks ago (as you know) and though my mother in law liked it no one else said anything (not that I was expecting anything). But wow I got like 6 or 7 complements from strangers on that dress. One…

Oh no!! Well I was a hot mess with my eating this weekend as well but it was deliberate. I swear sometimes I just need to gorge myself to feel normal. haha So I am sure I did some serious damage but it was worth it. You know how sometimes it is totally worth it and other times it isn't. This was one of those times :laugh:…

Ok didn't mean to post that last one so soon!!!! Still had more to say :laugh: Yeah I spent forever trying to find CLX docs. I was able to find everything but the damn food guide. I have the calendar, the log and the times listed for each workout (which I love) but the food guide is no where. So annoying. The p90x one is…

Nice work out this morning! Was the weigh in what you expected? I was pleased to see a .2lb loss. Yes there is a decimal in front of that 2. haha :laugh: I would have been pleased if it was the same so I was pleased that it was down a little considering how far up it was earlier this week (for no good reason!!!) Well I am…

Yeah I don't know what tomorrow's weigh in will bring for me either. I was up the other day (as I was *****ing about) but I am hoping it was just a fluke and it will be back down. I will be very happy if I lose even a little since that will be 2 weeks in a row with a loss and I haven't had that in months!!! Usually it is…

Oh looks like you will be busy busy!!! When does the season start? You are so brave to commit to something that takes up so much extra time during the holiday season. I know I am a weakling but with Josie and Mike's birthdays right in the center of the holiday season, I basically refuse to opt into anything extra during…

Ok today is a much better day. Still sad sometimes but much better than over the weekend and yesterday. Yesterday I was up and down and just still overall feeling sad and then Mike picked up her ashes and we put her tags in the box and put the name plate on it and I had a good cry and I felt better. Still sad but that…

Pics went ok but I haven't actually seen any but we took an hour worth of pics. Josie was somewhat (not really) cooperative but the wind had my hair all over the place so I am not sure what to expect but whatever it is we are going with it. Honestly this weekend (and today) has been a wash. As I am sure you saw, I had to…

Great work on keeping your weight the same considering all those factors!! I am sure with you starting to work out again you probably lost BF but it wasn't showing because of the retention from working out. So I am sure you will see a great loss next week. What week are you on now? Yeah I lost some of they weight I put on…

One of my favorites is 4-6 raw chicken breasts, a can of black beans, a jar of salsa, half a cup of water, and some Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning (can use any taco seasonings also) in the crock pot on low for 6-8 hours. Makes great meat for tacos or I like to serve in on salad or eat it by itself. Easy, reasonable carbs,…
