WHOOPS! lol ... I kinda disappeared! Honestly, it's been the most insane 3 weeks ever. Full-on up and down ride. The briefest possible coles notes is this: You may remember that we were going to move. Well, 24 hours before getting keys I just happened to randomly look for a play house on a used stuff site. There was just…

B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Girl, THIS IS IT! I'm sorry about your heart break and Alex's but I am SO HAPPY to hear what you've said about yourself and relationships and focusing on YOU. I have so hoped this is where you'd find yourself. Pizza happens. Next step! Oh, and kicking sugar is always a little tough but this time I've…

Cathy, good luck! And only going over by 100 when you have fast food is an accomplishment! Tracy, I have also gained back (too much!) of what I lost, due in part to medical stuff. Let's fight back!! I have always been a little on the heavy side - since about age 4 - though I've always been very athletic. My weight peaked…

Well ladies, we got the new place! I can't believe we'll be taking posession in 2 weeks. Thankfully we'll have a bit of an over-lap so it's not too chaotic. I've never moved with little ones but I know they'll do better if it's not rushed. I know I've mentioned before that I was trying to go off of flour products and…

Fair enough B :wink: Here's an article you may be interested in regarding the raw thing. http://www.stumptuous.com/the-raw-vs-the-cooked Also, since CLA is primarily found in non-skim dairy, lamb and beef you should take a CLA supplement if you're not eating those foods. Actually, CLA has been touted for its weight-loss…

B - my only caution is to make sure that you are getting enough protein (much more dedicated effort necessary as a vegetarian) and that you do NOT fall into the fake meat trap. Store-bought veggie burgers, veggie cold cuts, veggie ground... it's horribly unhealthy. So many people think just because it's vegetarian it's…

Oops.. I meant I did BodyStep last night and I'm about to head out the door to Pump :tongue: Check in later!

Amy dear, it's okay if you can't offer anything to others right now. There is enough love and motivation for everyone, even if what you need is just to RECEIVE it! Please re-consider :heart: Tamm & Verda, keep it going and we're here!! Cathy, I completely understand. This has been my pattern, too. We can do this! Kristin,…

Lauryn, XOXOXOX I've got to run or we'll be late out the door but I wanted to post a hug and a thanks and I miss you too! The pic was taken Jan 27th of this year :smile: I love it too :heart: HI EVERYONE!!! More later! I'm down 0.4 lb this morning so that's better than the perma-gain I've "enjoyed" since the fall.... I'll…

It's always funny when you plan your menu for the following day and have trouble packing in enough calories! lol I haven't added in the calories I'll burn at BodyPump and I'm still under by 322 calories. AFTER BodyPump I'll have a surplus of at least 700 calories if I don't add more. Here's my plan so far for tomorrow: 1:…

Thanks Sandy :P It's just that I'm SO NOT where I was a few months ago and I want to get back there. Had a good class tonight and I really do think this will be a good motivator for me!
-
Thanks V :) Since we're home learners I'm not looking for much time or committment... just getting free gym memberships for me and my husband and getting a bit of pay for teaching sounds pretty darned good to me! I miss teaching and I miss working in fitness so I'm looking forward to it :)

Hey everyone! Kristin, I'm glad you're feeling better. Teething is a toughie, and when YOU'RE not feeling well either!... Verda, B, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! Amy, GOOD FOR YOU. You are doing so great! Tamm, I loathe gains but you've got the best attitude out there :heart: Cathy, I'm glad to hear the good news! Lula, good…

B, I'm going to be very frank and I hope that's okay. On one hand, you ARE young and there's no rush to settle down. I think if you re-read what you wrote, you'll notice that you made reference to breaking up with him and "finding someone else". I can be picky about vocabulary and its power in our minds and lives. How…

A good friend of mine who is a wonderful photographer set up this fund-raiser after the Haiti disaster to raise $15,000.00 in one day for Haiti. She did photo shoots of 5-10 minutes by donation (minimum $60) and we got our pics back today. Here is my fav. It's my profile pic now but I wanted to show it bigger. LOVE IT!!!

Okay, given all my talk about wanting to get re-certified for group fitness I had to share my story from BodyStep tonight. The instructor (my old friend from back East) was having troubles with the sound about 2/3 of the way through the class. She had to go fix it and we had already started the combination so she just said…

Verda & Amy - It really depends on how your body works but I've had many times where I've burned between 700 and 950 calories in 60 to 90 minutes at the gym. During my half marathon training I laughed when my runs started burning over 1500 to 1700 cals. Kristin, hang in there and if you do temporarily cancel your…
-
YAY B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a HUGE milestone. GREAT for you!! Amy, thanks! Yes, I've always wanted to augment my personal training cert with group fitness (I taught dance for YEARS and love teaching generally!) so we'll see what happens. I'm careful not to move too quickly with any longer-term ideas (in this case,…

noooooooooooooooooooooooo! Stupid easter eggs.

Verda, I meant to say.. I have hypothyroidism and know ALL too well how brutal the thyroid "bulge" can be. It is incredibly easy for me to put weight on and I have to work extra hard to get it off again. So frustrating. But, we can only work with what we have and do our best!!! Keep on trying because it's better than the…

Kel, that truly does sound like an awful day! What a sad thing :frown: I hope you get a good rest tonight and that tomorrow starts with fresh possibility! :heart: Tamm, make sure you're taking the moments when you can to breathe, close your eyes and just connect with silence! Lots going on - just don't let it get the best…

I know, right?! I just made sure my email honoured their right as property owners to make any choices they want about who to rent to, and also addressed my need to express the kind of tenants we are and the fact that I felt frustrated, disappointed about how it went down. Heck, our landlord here has LOWERED our rent to…

THANKS ladies!!! I feel good about it. I think that usually when I'm trying to re-stoke my motivation I hit it hard (that's SO my m.o. and it has caused my problems before) but this time because I was also struggling with stress so badly I was forced to step back and focus on what's important which this time is my…
