Thanks for the picture posting tips, Jalara---it may take me a day or two to find some, but I'm gonna do it! Andrea--perhaps it is sad that this is the biggest question i have from your gorgeous wedding pictures, but did I happen to see whoopie pies instead of a big ol wedding cake? Hardly anyone around here knows what…

Welcome Tessa! We hope you like it here, and that you don't end up staying long....we like to move peeps along to the pregnancy board as soon as we can!! Haha. Okay---so seriously, how do I get a picture into this thing? I had to sound like an idiot, but I have no clue.

I LOVE WEDDING PICTURES!! As soon as I am on the computer where I have some, and have figured out how to put a picture in one of these thingies, I'll post some too. Meanwhile--everyone who wants to, keep posting. They make me happy... Jalara--I'm at 1200 calories if I want to lose anything, pretty much, and at that, I…

Hi all--I'm enjoying all the new people joining us! So, I did C25k today--I even backed up a week, just so I wouldn't kill myself jumping right back into it after a week off. Ugh. It stlll worked me. My knee was twinging at me for part of it, which isn't surprising....it does that if I don't "work up" to the workout I'm…

Great post Pam! Loved it. Thanks.

Hi All--went to a last-minute Mother/Daughter Mother's Day banquet with my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and two nieces. Good times had by all.....and I ate enough for the entire native population of a small island somewhere. Sigh.... There must be a part of me somewhere that is content where I am, because Lord knows, my…

Mmmm.....a loaf of french bread. Me and french bread are like Homer Simpson and donuts.

Hi all! Well, the sun is shining again today--literally and figuratively--I'll take both. I'm still disappointed about having to wait another month, but I'm back to me again, which is nice. I'm not weighing in today--I figure it will be artificially low, so I'll wait a week to let my body adjust, rather than have a great…

Hey all! Back to logging today--but I plan on being over the cals today if I feel like it. If I want it today, I'm eating it. Hubs has started with some symptoms of what I had, but he very rarely gets sick as bad as I do, so I'm just praying that he gets only a taste of what I had. Yesterday ended up being a cruddy cruddy…

Hi all--I'm propped up on the couch today letting my little guy watch all the TV he wants if it means I don't have to get up. But, hubby went back to work today, and I am determined to make it through the day keeping both me and my son alive. It was not possible before today. Whatever sort of intestinal flu that was that I…

Hi all--I've been MIA for a few days---out with a horrendous intestinal bug. Just starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I think. Thank God. Just wanted to post to get this month's thread in my list. Welcome to the newcomers--hi to the regulars---I'll post more when I have the energy...

HI all-- Luki--my cholesterol is always crappy--the lows need to be higher, and the highs need to be lower. I haven't had it checked in about a year though, so maybe all this exercise would be helping. I feel your pain though. Andrea--I feel your pain too! Isn't it crazy? I have an intestinal bug right now, and for a brief…

Hi all-- Love the lists! Top Five--no particular order--it depends on the day: 1) Prayer--similar to many others, this seems to be what I turn to when I feel out of control. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Haha. I woke up yesterday so stinkin mad at the world and everyone in it. I was mad because I can't get pregnant (yet),…

I hear ya! I have just decided to embrace the fact that I always have been a pear, and always will be a pear. Skinny jeans will never look good, no matter how much weight I lose, and my thighs will always rub together. That's just how it is. So, I dress to my type, try to eat healthy and exercise, and try to make the best…

Yay Nicole!!! So happy for you! As for me--eating healthier today was an epic fail. I think I inhaled about a quarter of a strawberry pie that my husband made. Darn him. And I didn't get to exercise--little boy woke up extra early today. So, a double-whammy no no day. Oh well. I"m doing my pre-PMS-spotty-getting-ready…

Oh yeah.... I know all about TJMAXX. I spent some serious dough there on our "staycation". The shoes were speaking to me--I love BORN shoes--so comfy, and they seem to have them there on occasion. I indulged.

Congrats History! Don't feel like I got to know you well, but to be honest, on this forum, that's a good sign, right? On to bigger and better things! I have a very whiny little boy today. He doesn't stop even if he doesn't feel good...he just gets whiny and clingy on top of it. He's got a cough and a runny nose. Poor guy.…

Hi all! Welcome to the newcomers! Just got back from a fabulous 24+ hour baby-free "staycation" with the hubby. (Stop reading now if you can't handle hearing about it.) We stayed in a hotel in our town (I used a deal on groupon that I found that gave us a really good deal), so we were "away" from the house, but we were…

I've got tears! Thanks for sharing that with us! What a pick-me-up after a down time. Yay!!!!! I don't know what else to say. God's hands are our hands....I love it when people use them to help others. So.happy.for.you. Enjoy those happy endorphins!!!

It's so hard! Teenagers, friends, that person who already has more kids than they want and then whoops--I'm pregnant again--it's really hard when you are on the other side of that fence looking over. Sigh. Deep breath. You and your husband have already overcome so much adversity to get where you are--I have absolute faith…

Things that worked for me: 1) Alarm across the room. If I didn't get up, my husband beating me with a pillow to go turn it off usually did the trick. 2)I literally slept in my workout clothes for the first while. All I had to do was put my feet on the floor, find my shoes and go. It really helped, as silly as it sounds. 3)…

Heather!! We still gotcha girl! I'm so sorry to hear that your hubby will be away longer....booooo. You can post here anytime you want---we'll listen. Pam--breathe girl, breathe!!! You have to be able to breathe if you want to have a baby. Haha. Ashley-welcome! Luki-Stress go away! I agree--one day, one hour, one minute at…

I need a big font to say HURRAY PAM!!!! That's awesome! Now don't go get a hot fudge brownie sundae to celebrate....stay strong!!! (That's what I'd be doing.)

Oooo, Pam, I like goal #5--I know I could use a bit more mindfulness of the good things in my life, right? Well, today was the big appointment. (Long post ahead--I'm processing, so feel free not to read if you aren't interested.) It went very well, all things considered. The Dr was very nice, and she explained stuff well.…

I like the intervals--I have to work up to the longer distances, otherwise my knees start hurting and I stop. The intervals help me work up to it safely. If you don't like keeping track of the intervals yourself, if you have an Ipod, I highly recommend the Podrunner Interval Couch to 5k series. It's free, and no tracking…

Currently, I"m grooving on fat free cottage cheese and crushed pineapple for breakfast--it's creamy and sweet and the protein just keeps me going for a long time. Love it!

I feel ya there! Priorities, priorities....maybe some day the trainer will happen. After the kid, though. Priorities!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAM!!! Yeah Jalara--her calorie burn is crazy. Envious, yes. But she works out a lot!!! I'm having a stellar day if I can reach 300--I'm out of this world exercising if I hit 400. Yesterday was 500, but that was only because I exercised good and then spent almost 2 hours spreading wood chips on a picnic area…

Good morning Ladies! I just finished my first jog of C25k week four. I was so not feeling like doing it this morning, so I guess that is a victory. I finished it last summer, but after a winter off, I started over--my knees just can't handle jogging well unless I work up to it. Last summer I even started Gateway to 8k--it…

I'm back to "normal" now everyone--anxiety/panic attack subdued for now. (We'll see what happens on Monday--my husband will be there then, so he tends to balance me well.) Thanks for letting me vent. Have a good Saturday!
