First of all I stopped logging last night. I just didn't. I don't know why so my calories are not correct at all. I hate that, but on the other hand crap happens...I won't beat myself up anymore I did for a few hours and now that time is done. Move on. I did yoga yesterday and 25 minutes on the bike, have a renewed spirit, and that's all I can do.
Bethedee I hope your shift went by okay and the banana helped cramps.
Steph I hope you're having a great day too. I am SUPER proud to see you so close to 120s!
Mescelestus have you ever had a veggie sub? I wonder if they are good? I know my former neighbor got them I think at Quizno's all the time, but I have no idea if they tasted good. I like the idea though I don't know if it would satisfy me if I was wanting a meatball one LOL. Take care of yourself, colds suck!
Oh
Misti I hope he can help! I hated physical therapy because of the time involved AND the pain (but honestly I got results so that was a small price to pay). They had me going 3 times a week and when I was working, I was self-employed so I didn't get PTO..it was just a PITA but it helped so much I know in the end it was worth it.
LOL
Diana about VF. It can be a very bad place. I have way too many DVDs and VHS...but I think no no no I can't part with them. I am selling a lot of Jari Love DVDs, all of them, because while they are good--I don't forsee going back. If you want I'll P.M. you the list or if you're on Yayas you can see it there. The things I don't like is she REALLY is thin and some of her "talk" is BS, i.e., "now you're burning carbs" or things that have not necessarily been proven or disproven yet. Plus the set is DARK which is fine for some, but I just don't LOVE them. I have to say I did get results with them when we moved back from Georgia to Texas I lost 20 pounds with that and dieting within 2-3 months. Obviously it's more from the food, but I liked them okay. WOW I had no idea SDX was NOT much easier. Right now I'm fine with workouts, but wow! I also agree it's the body's way of protecting itself. Flush that out and you'll be golden
NovaAngel you'd laugh at me. I sweat so much I have a sweatband on (like the old 1970s fashion forward tennis ones) that I have to change it between my kettlebell or strength and yoga. It's nasty. And I look like a goober. Now
THREE POUNDS TO GOAL! You are rocking it!!!
Amy what about something like deep breathing, pilates, yoga, or Oxycise, BodyFlex or whatever those programs are. I know some people think they are bunk, but *in my experience* deep breathing helps the migraines a lot and if ou add stretches and some strengthening to that..you are going to get there.
Masterptr I think we all can relate to PMS, unfortunately
Shishkeberry! WTG!!!
Thanks
Rasagolla. Today I'm feeling meh. I think because DH tossed and turned all night, ended up staying home, I woke the kids up and slept in until about 10:30...so I feel just behind. I *am* going to get my workouts in and I *have* recommitted to 20 pounds by the end of the year PERIOD. I will be a food snob (sort of as I'm not a foodie per se but I tend to say "I don't eat that" to things that I know are not helpful to my weight loss journey or just plain unhealthy). I can do it, but I feel like a meanie sometime saying no. It's for my health and I'm a better person when I'm healthier, but sometimes...groan...you know how that goes.
Everyone you guys are my rock because you know offline talking about diet, weight loss, fitness, etc., people get sick of hearing it. And yesterday I just blew it off and while I got my fitness goals in, I know the rest wasn't great. I also realized I'm only HALFWAY to where I want to be and I don't want to quit. I stopped last time around 156? I can't remember, then my husband had his surgery and I was running him to and from work, my son to and from work (pre driver's license), working full time AND working out and I was just too freaking tired then to worry. Well I don't have "that excuse" now period and I want to look back on these 5-7 years of being obese/overweight as a small portion of my life, not the majority. It would be so easy to say "well mom, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunts on both sides, cousins on all sides, are all obese so it's genetics" which yes it makes it MORE difficult to stay thinner..but intellectually I know that isn't the full story. So, thanks you all!
I was concerned because the Lower Body workout was scheduled for today. 
I had more of a sweat going on today than I did on Monday. That lower body workout has always been killer. We will see if I need assistance getting out of bed tomorrow. For some reason, my glutes/hamstrings are not sore right now. (they are probably in shock! 
) But, my main point is that my mouth is NOT breaking out and it appears the gain is NOT from Angio Edema. 
Also, an observation from over the last few years. If I am having a flare up, I cannot lose weight. It takes time for everything to regulate. I guess it's the body's way of "protecting" itself in some way.
