WOW! Look at those stats! Y'all are kickin some serious tushy! Way to go :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Here I am- Skipping in and out... I am sure that burns calories :tongue: I had a pretty rough and busy week- so didn't do so hot with logging BUT I didn't skip my trainer sessions (I wanted to) and I kept it mostly…

Howdy y'all! Just checking in... Friday fitness: Trainer kicked my tushy yesterday with a new workout! We do this thing called "Beyonce butt", where we sort of tip our leg behind us and our head down and touch the floor with one hand (same hand that has the leg in the air)... WOW I can see how I will soon have Beyonce butt…

Gosh RobinB! The Color Run looks like a BLAST! Glad you had fun! P1xyn1xy! YAY on the work pants!! Doesn't it feel awesome? I'm excited to get back to the "normal stores" as well... I was there for a brief moment- I will get there again! Keep up the great work- but no more of that being sick stuff ;) Susan- Thank you :)…

Oh Kelley- Love software conversions (sarcasm). My new job exposes me to lots of the pain of that. Oh, I guess I have been there 9 months, but it still feels "new". I work in software- we design software for insurance companies. Thank you for your well wishes. Buddy was such a sweet dog. He is missed in our house, for…

Great job pushing through- even in the rain! You are so inspiring, Kaye! :drinker:

Oh Thursday Truth! For those of y'all that don't know me... I used to hang out in these here parts. I logged every day and walked a lot and lost a bunch of weight. I used to barely be able to walk half a block without a raging asthma attack and some hefty hip pain, then it was a block, then 5. Even though I fell of the…

hjwhite26- I have the worst time with cravings as well. It is so challenging to find the balance. So I try to stick with small portions of those things- I don't use tasty not so healthy treats as a reward nor do I punish myself after. The cool thing about the blizzard is that there is a "mini" size. I don't think it is on…

Howdy everyone... Just thought I would peek in and say "hi"... So... hi :flowerforyou:

BUMP! btw- Laurie- I loved all of the quotes :happy:

Thanks y'all. It's a tough row for sure! Skinny, do you feel like smoking impacts muscle soreness? I seem to feel better physically (aside from not hacking up a lung) when I don't smoke. Robin! I hope you feel better very soon. :flowerforyou:

Hi y'all! Just popping in to say hello and I was thinking of you guys and gals :blushing: I'm a little embarrassed that it has been so long. I hope you all are well. :drinker: I am still kicking- logging some days, still working out with a trainer- but due to some binge eating, am back up to 227. I started walking again a…

I miss you guys!! I have been swamped and finally decided to get consistent with my logging again. I am still working out and doing Yoga. My BFF started going to the gym with me, which is AWESOME! I may not check in very often, but I am here, cheering you all on full force! :heart: :heart: :heart: :flowerforyou:…

:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: BUMP:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: AND HI!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Hi y'all! Crazy few days at work and home... I have a coworker who is out with all sorts of ailments (bless her heart), and have been covering a couple of her accounts. Her accounts are far more demanding than mine, and contact me at all hours (I turn my phone off around 10 or 11 on weekends, so too bad for them after that…

Susan- I am glad to share! I mix it up a lot as well... sometimes my chili is more of a casserole with carrots, zucchini, etc... Just depends on my mood. I am skipping Winter quarter at school. My new job is bringing in an instructor from the local Community College to certify some of us for project management! :bigsmile:…

I GUESS that is a good excuse for him to move.... have his parents considered moving closer to HIM? :wink: Thanks for the idea on the milk... I love the Silk almond milk :happy: I actually don't *drink* milk... it is the milk products I miss. I will remember that about the re-introducing foods... Greek yogurt is my go to…

LOVE this!!!

Oh Kelley! Let's hope that your trainer changes his mind... or that this somehow becomes a blessing in disguise. Crossing my fingers for you! Skinnyjeanz- I haven't done full research on different types of cheese and their lactose content. I don't mind missing out on milk, but sour cream, yogurt, and cheese are staples in…

Hi y'all! Hope you are all staying inside, safe and warm. We sure did get a cold snap across the country, eh? I woke up to 27 degrees (I know, warm for some of you) and ice all over the place. Luckily it melted down in time for me to get out to the dump and Goodwill. I just got back from Trader Joe's, where I found that…

Hi y'all! I've been lurking in the background, reading your posts, but honestly am a little tired lately. My stomach has been giving me trouble and I think all of the junk I have been eating (mostly over the holidays) is getting to me. Had an endoscopy yesterday, for the worst part of the stomach pain I've been having.…

Hi Everyone! It's so nice to hear about all of your successes... the primary success being that no matter what life has thrown your way- (loss of friends, family, feeling depression, illness, or just plain out of synch) YOU ARE HERE! This is where it all starts (and sometimes re-starts)! I feel so blessed to be a part of…

I have a LOT of catching up to do. I have been reading everyone's posts, but haven't been great at personals. I honestly started to post several times, but then got pulled away. I didn't do great with my eating over the holiday... but it wasn't terrible. I haven't exercised (on purpose) since Monday. My hip has been giving…

BUMP! (and HI!!!!) :bigsmile:

bump

WOW that is a lot of cookies!!! I would go crazy, if stuck in an elevator... especially with people that are bickering. :laugh: You are a stronger woman than I.

Yay! The quarter is over and I am taking Winter quarter off... My company is bringing in an instructor from a local community college for a Project Management course to be taken onsite at work. Between this and work - I should have enough to keep me busy. I've been seeing my personal trainer twice a week for a month now…

Checking in! I miss y'all! Just one more exam, and I am done with this quarter (yay). Friday will make a month with the trainer, and I feel awesome. I haven't lost a single pound, but I'm not sweating that. Aside from a little binge today; I have been doing pretty decent with food. Maybe the weight I'm keeping is fluff…

Finals week... crazy busy, but wanted to stop in and say hello! :drinker: My trainer is awesome- LOVE her bunches. I hurt my hip and she helped me with some yoga stretches for it AND adjusted my routine. It didn't hurt at all to work out - but it was still HARD. I've never logged such crazy calorie burns before this. I…

RobinsEgg- GREAT idea for a goal! :drinker: Today I burned the most calories EVER (for me), according to MFP and Fitbit. I am so glad I found my Fitbit charger. :bigsmile: I am so grateful to have found this gym. Everyone is so supportive. Tomorrow I am going to the cardiologist's office for a stress test. I'm not really…

^^^This^^^ I was also one to get winded very quickly. I started by taking a 5 minute walk, then worked my way up from there. If you can only get to the end of the driveway- start there. Once you get back from the end of the driveway and back, without being winded, then go to the mailbox and back, then the end of the block,…
