Oops. Life on Mars wasn’t on last night, I had my nights mixed up. So instead (at 10pm), I popped a movie into the DVD player so I’d have something to keep my mind busy while I was on the elliptical. I have this incredible collection of chick-flicks, so I put in “What Women Want” with Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt. Sweet! Anyway, Life on Mars is on tonight, maybe I’ll do my workout at 10 again.
Okay, so I felt like a lightweight because I was only lifting 10-lb dumbbells - until sterling wrote that she started out with 5 and 8-lb dumbbells. Really??? Really and truly??! Okay I feel MUCH better about my 10-lb’ers now!!! Speaking of sterling, HEY GIRL, sending a warm GET WELL shout out your way!! In fact — here’s a shout out to all my blogging buddies who are in need of Get Well wishes (even if they’re on the mend now)!
Oh yes - I remember now - I was about to write about how much PAIN was felt last night - OMG the first time at “light” lifting didn’t hurt much but the SECOND time - OWWW!!! It was good, though, because I knew, then, that I really had done something tangible. Significant. Painful!!! It will get easier, yes it will.
What reminded me of the pain was the two minutes of holding up that dumbbell for the picture, LOL. Ouchie, my musssskels hurt!! =D

I went to the Daily Plate today to check it out. Thing is, apparently I’ve been there before because I have a login there. So I tried entering my food and it was harder than FitDay. In fact, I created a new food, input the whole recipe and everything, and then it wouldn’t add that food to my plate - I tried like five times and it just wouldn’t take it. *Sigh.* I’m still not logging food but if I do go back to it, I’ll just use FitDay. After all, I bought the damn home version of it. Speaking of which, that pissed me off.
Okay, here’s the thing. If you want to use the online version of FitDay it’s free. You can post a link to your public profile and everyone can look at your food intake if you want them to. But if you want to enter your food into FitDay without an internet connection, you can’t. So you have to buy the at-home version. So I did. I bought the at-home version. I set it up on my computer and it allowed me to sync the online with the at-home so that way I’d have all my special foods and all my history on my hard drive. Sweet!
But I liked using the online one, so I continued to enter my food there. After a few days of doing that, I went to sync my program again - and it wouldn’t let me. Ya hafta PAY for a freakin’ subscription if you want that feature! $70 a year so I can NOT have to enter my food in TWO places! What kinda freakin’ SCAM is THAT?!?
Toldja it pissed me off.

Eileen, you are the absolute cutest thing EVER! I adore you and your pictures
I love that picture!!! totally cute!!
Oh my goodness, I have the BIGGEST smile going on right now. How totally awesome the photo is. Thanks so much for going through the trouble to do that! That’s so sweet. And you suffered for us by doing that. But in the end you will be stronger. Keep up the great work. Wish I could come over and work on an elliptical next to you while watching movies. That sounds like fun. What Women Want is a unique, funny movie.
Thanks for all of your love and support
OH HA HA HA! Great picture
I’m sure that you gave the sick chicks a “lift”!
10 pounds is awesome. I have a book that I linked to forever ago that even suggests for some exercises using 3-5 pound weights. I guess it depends on what your purpose is (toning or bulking up).
I am all about the free version of fitday. All though, as you know, I am NOT all about counting right now. But I know that I am going to have to. I apparently can’t make progress without it.
OMG. LOLOLOL. Imagine my surprise when I dragged my butt out of bed this morning and saw this! My nose is running, my mouth is full of crud, my eyes are glazed over, my throat and head are screaming, and this made it all feel better! LOL. Thanks Eileen!
Thanks for the recipe! I’m definitely going to try it- I’m not low carbing it- but man I want some cheddar biscuits! I just have to get my butt to the store this weekend and get that carb flour stuff lol.
I use sparkpeople.com for inputting my meals and stuff- it’s so easy I love it.
funny movie. Oh, yeah, 10 lbs. is heavy for starting. You impressive, woman! Cool card! Delita
Had to visit the post again this morning. Thanks for the smile!
Thank you so much for the great message. It’s amazing how many friendships we can cultivate w/women we have never met in person. You are an absolutely wonderful woman
THANK YOU! You rocked my morning, I still feel cloudy headed from sick and that brightened everything up. You’re an amazing person.
