Saturday success- I logged in. I lost my Ipod, so logging my foods has been a challenge. I will have to figure out how to get past that. I had a lot of things to fix in the last week; one of them was my attitude. Even though I tried really hard to remain calm through the storm; on the inside I was losing my mind. Right…

Monday check in- huge binge Saturday night- Sunday didn't do to bad for quantity, but the quality of my food choices was less than desirable. I am still not quite "right" after the burglary, but am trying to stay positive.

Skinny- I vote for the morning weight as well. Now that you have a good scale, I would only use that one for your "checking in" weight and only count the morning weigh ins. - Awesome NSV btw! Yay. Jumpy- I've had you in my prayers... I hope that God recognizes screennames... ;) jtconst- I hope your time with the kiddos was…

Lin- YAY on reaching 101! You should be proud of yourself! Robin- I have the same issue with waxing facial hair. I turn into tomato face. I swell up and it is crazy! I use ice and then cortisone cream after a waxing- not the best thing for you, but it works for me to get it to heal more quickly. I have also found that…

Thank you all for your well wishes. I am living on very little sleep, but at least I feel safer. A family friend, who is a contractor, replaced the door frame and locks, and added reinforcements there and to the windows. I am considering an alarm system, as some of you mentioned, but don't have a lot of money to spend. I…

Thursday truth- My house was robbed today. They used a crowbar and split the frame around my front door. They tore up my house and took some jewelry- loose change- and medicines. Nobody was hurt- so I am blessed with that. I tried anger and fear and disgust for awhile, and decided that's not working. The only way to get…

Wednesday wish... more time in the day!!! I LOVE school but am just running constantly. Good news- evil Math test I got a 79% which is C-... now I know that isn't something to brag about, but honestly, before the test, I was sure I was going to fail. After the test, I thought maybe I got 80%... so 79 isn't a huge…

Tuesday goals... my goal was to log all of my food and post to this thread! :) I can check those off... well not done with the food yet, BUT I did good so far. Added fresh spinach AFTER I was done cooking my Alfredo with veggies... sooooo good and one way to get a salad in, right? :) Hope you all are having a fabulous…

I'm from Seattle- but live in Everett now (just North of Seattle)- You can msg me your questions.

Skinny- I don't run (yet?) but did a lot of research on the minimalist shoes with my son. He is a runner and wanted to try them, but the guy at the running store and a lot of articles said that if you need support, the minimalist shoe is not for you.

In addition to making sure you have enough healthy fats in your diet... (also if you do fish oil, maybe up it a bit)..Two words... coconut oil. I was in an Indian market one day, and the owner and I got into a talk about hair. She said that she had hair loss due to cancer treatment, and that she used henna and coconut oil.…

Sorry it's been a couple of days... this weekend has been quite the rollercoaster ride for me. My birthday was an absolute blast! I saw friends that I haven't seen in ages, sang karaoke until I was hoarse, and laughed more than I have in forever. The bf is now and ex-bf... Friday night my sister was joking about him not…

Funny... 40 doesn't feel much different than 39 did yesterday... hmmm :bigsmile: Charlotte- how do you start back up? One foot in front of the other... slow and steady. It stinks to not just be able to jump back into exercise full force, but the truth of it is that we have to take it slow. The good news- it does get easier…

Thank you all for the continued Birthday wishes and support! Wow. And Jumpy- LOL on the brain usage/calorie burn- "if it's on the internet..." tee hee. I will drop you a line when I get to statistics :) Robin- My sister is throwing me a surprise party on Saturday... oh um, well, yes, I do know about it. I have to pretend…

Thanks for all of the birthday wishes! And @Skinny - LOL on both the username comment and making your students figure their own Math... ;) Tuesday Tuesday.. my good friend Tuesday... I am having trouble staying on track. Fast food is calling me again, while the theme in my English class is food sustainability, and we…

Vickie!!!! YAYYYYY!!!!! You are a rock star! I am so happy for you! Christine- Welcome back! :) New folks- Welcome, and trust me when I say that this is the BESTEST most AMAZINGALICIOUS thread to be a part of! :bigsmile: Just checking in- A busy week has already started- I have my first Math exam on Wednesday, and my 40th…

Susan- Great job with the activity levels!!! Sea salt caramels would do me in also.... nummy. BUT you can't fault yourself for having a sweet treat every now and again. You work so hard! Keep up the good fight :) Thanks to all on the advice about the walking to classes... I do have my activity level set to sedentary, since…

Laurie- you totally blow me away with your activity levels! Kudos to you! :drinker:

Thanks for your support everyone... half the time I feel like such a winner; the other half- a whiner! lol.. at least I still have my sense of humor! rachael- Great job with the walking! The best thing you can do is to keep on moving! I find that the more I walk, the cleaner I can eat (no- I am not a "clean eater", but I…

Thursday truth- I am EXHAUSTED and completely self absorbed. I feel guilty that I can't voice being supportive to y'all- but my brain is sooooo fried. So I just want to say that I appreciate each and every one of you. Keep fighting the good fight! :drinker:

Yay!!!! Way to go girl!

Thanks for your sympathies... I wish I had heard something like this before! ;) Did you pass the class? Is it possible? The instructor assigned us 300 math problems to be completed between Monday and Wednesday of this week; he said that they should take about 2 minutes each, but that we should set aside 2 - 3 hours a day…

Kelley- thanks for the tip on the EAS- I will look for it tomorrow in between classes! Yes- it IS a lot- Oh my goodness, what have I gotten myself into! Thanks for all of your well wishes. I feel like I am studying ALL the time. 300 Math problems to do between Monday and Wednesday??? Are they trying to kill me? ;) I rise…

Checking in!!! I am with the foam rollers- I LOVE my foam roll. It is awesome for my hip problems! I am really sorry, but I have a feeling I am going to seem pretty self absorbed.... 12 credits. I don't know what happened, but this morning, I was getting ready to camp out in the English class I want and saw a study skills…

Laurie- thanks for the rollover :) AngelikaLumie - I can't wait for the day someone calls me "skinny"- teehee That is AWESOME! :drinker: Skinnyjeanz- I am back to school tomorrow also (on the other side of the desk)- and I am SOOOO incredibly excited! I guess it's different when you are the student and it isn't your "job".…

Woohoo that is awesome!!!! I am so happy for you! Keep up the great work... Funny, I weighed yesterday and I was ALSO 1.5 lbs away from my lowest. We can kick that 1.5lbs right outta the park!

Yay! I have to look into this. So glad you found a fun activity to support reaching your goals! :drinker:

Friday fitness.... 1.85 miles today! Woohoo, and she's back in action. :) That is three walks this week and I am under most days on my calories. Lots more water and veggies too. I am starting to feel much better... but I am breaking out! It is like my body is trying to push out all the junk I've eaten. I guess this means I…

Lin- love the stuff on toxic vs true hunger! Thank you! I am inspired by all of your goals and plans for the new year! I am jumping right in, but with both feet planted firmly on the ground. I am not going to fool myself in thinking that I can just do things half way - even when school starts next week. I missed my…

Happy New Year! Thank you for your support and advice on the jerk. I definitely need someone who will be supportive and grow with me, and he is not that guy. He can either snap to, or move on, as far as I am concerned. I love him, but I will not allow myself to hold back from my dreams and goals. No more Rocky Road....…
