Morning!
Nella - Did you do your workout, hmmmm? Just checking in on you. And how's today's food, still Op? Have a great day!
SG - I appreciate that, I've never thought of that before, I think I know one or two woman who think of themselves as skinny, and they are lifelong rail sorts that can't gain weight and have body like a teenage boys (their words, lol, not mine) and they wish they were curvy. And what I've learned about myself is that skinny to me isn't even an ideal anymore. I was waiting at the checkout in wal-mart the other day for about 15-20 minutes and was watching what people were buying in relation to how healthy they looked, weight and things. Oddly enough, I never noticed how many heavy people there are, which is funny since I was one and second, even a lot of "skinny" ppl were buying horrible food and they looked terrible, their skin was unhealthy, hair didn't look good and they just looked sick. It really brought home the fact that healthy and fit is so much more important than a size b/c anyway when we do this long enough, the size will come. Kudos on the bagels! I hated the kitchen at work, it was like walking through a mine field.
MsP - Darn maintenance being the same, lol, but I hope I have prepared myself mentally for it, I think so but we'll see, we are all a work in progress after all
. My friend actually told me about the obesity thing, she's recovering anorexic (10 years now) but she considers herself an eating disorder survivor to keep it in perspective that she needs to work at it daily and give herself credit for how hard she worked. She suggested that it's probably the same idea on the opposite end of the scale too, and I would have to agree.
Kim - Omgoodess, I'm glad you're alright, that sounds absolutely terrible. They're rationing the vaccines up here to make sure there's enough for the high risk folks first. Take care of yourself
JasonLea - Congrats on helping out your friend, sometimes it is who you know, lol.
Jessicado - Yeah on the sizes, that's incredible, you're going to have to find yourself a new store soon! LOL on the huge ***, that just made me laugh. Brag away baby! That run is incredible and
marathon woman, we will be making sure!
VickieLou - 9 lbs sounds fantastic anyway and you're still losing so don't forget to give yourself credit!
Gekster - lmao on the picture that's awesome and resourceful! I'll have to remember that. WTG on making good choices to take a picture of too.
LTTG, Nella -
I know it's a day late but better late than never.
Lauranna -
on two weeks, I was just looking back at your post from the beginning of the challenge and was hoping you were keeping it up. Honestly, as a former (2 years now) 10 year, pack a day smoker I can't even imagine trying to drink while quitting, that is the craziest resolve. I don't even drink a lot now and it's been two years, lol. The weight will come off, the quitting is so worth it, wtg!
GivTLC - Thanks so much, and you guys all inspire me! Woohoo on those pounds too, that's fantastic and you're almost into the 150's!
Jellofer - Congrats on the pants that's great and a true indication of the loses right? That's some water weight, my goodness. I have experienced that on low carb before, the water weight can be frightening but it'll be gone in no time, we are all a work in progress, lol.
Moonfairy - Loving the determination! I think that's great, when we want to do it, there are no excuses that stand in the way.
Sandye - You are like a tornado, lol, I envision the tazmainian devil spinning everywhere. I got bath salts in a jar one year that I really liked. Have fun but don't overdo it, remember no cardio with a chest cold! We need you healthy.
Lauren - It's the only way I can be totally sure that I'm op, especially at kids bday parties, its all cake and pizza and hotdogs and there's not even a small quantity of that that I want in my body at this point. Turned out there was some fruit and veggies though so I ate some of that. I'm sure some ppl think I have an eating disoder with my little plate of carrots and celery and strawberries but I no longer care
on a drop tomorrow, you and
GiveTLC are so close!
Great evening last night, delightful adult conversation and the kids kept each other occupied nicely. Workouts done for the day although it's supposed to be 12 degrees today so I'm almost tempted to go for a little run this afternoon to enjoy the nice weather, I mean that's almost shorts weather up here!
Nice boring day today, menu planning, grocery list making, christmas shopping list and all the fun stuff to get ready for a kid free shopping day. Not to mention my textbooks came from my college so I can't wait to flip through those, my first course is human anatomy, can't wait, I took it first year university too and I loved it but it's a toughy.
My weight is still bouncing around 146.8, 147, 147.2, not the nicest but I'm sore like no tomorrow after killing my STing workout yesterday, so i'll be happy with that and go get busy with all my stuff.
Have a great day ladies!
Halfway thru the challenge.
But I did get 2 incredible elliptical workouts in. On Friday I weighed in at 240.4. Just a tiny bit away from a new decade right. If I played my cards right I would be in the 230's right now. 
: You had better have gotten off your bum and got your workout in!!! Next time call me and I'll give you a good Thwacking over the phone!!! 
you're doing awesome and I hope you're having a great morning!!! 
Get to work on that exercise! 
Get to it!! 
Of course you know it's not fat, but still... Another lesson learned, right? Get your water and get back on plan and you're good to go. Yay on the pants, though!!
