Thank you, Silverfire. My laptop and pants are soaking wet from laughing at your post. I love your posts!!!!! "I lift things up and put them down"... :r ofl:
Ok I need to jump in here!! I am way behind the rest of yall weight wise but I want to be a "cool kid" too!!
I am so sad about Elvis. I didnt see post and have been trying to put it all together but like everyone else I just do not understand and I can not figure it out. I cant imagine anyone complaining on her. She is one of the sweetest people ever. Always so encouraging and supportive. I really miss her!
Yay! Last time I lost weight, the 160s were a rough decade for me. And in your profile pic, you look so much like my cousin that it's freaky. She has that same Heinz ketchup shirt too.
Curse you caramel popcorn twists! You will be the death of me!!
Going for lunch, minding my own business. Then BAM. I big ol' plate of this
right as I come into the lunch room. I just couldn't say no! Well... I mean I could have if I really wanted to...
Besides the popcorn twists... Today has been good! Had my favorite chicken sammich for lunch again today. Someone asked me if I was getting sick of them yet and I said NEVER!!!!!
Anywho, 261 today. I am DYING to see 259 again and for MORE than a day. I am happy to be staying the same and not gaining however!
Tomorrow I am going to kick the gym's @ss. I really really would like to get a start on the NROLW, but I am soooo apprehensive getting into the free weight area. I have been spending way to many minutes on the internet looking up the things that I am supposed to be doing instead of actually DOING THEM! I want to be able to strut into the free weights area and rock it like I know what I am doing! I am contemplating going to the gym super duper early a few times so I can try it out when no one is looking UGH.
I WILL GET TO THE 250's DAMMIT!

Cool kid "share of the day": It's been almost 11 weeks since my toe surgery and today I've walked the longest I've walked since the surgery. My foot seems to be doing fine, which is a really good thing.
I was walking 40-50 minutes 5 days a week, and today i walked 28 minutes. (last week I was at about 12 minutes) I'm not back up to my pre-surgery speed, but at least I'm moving!
Weight isn't moving, but I was so far off plan all weekend that it'll probably take me a few days to recover--and at least I'm not above ticker!
Congrats Beth and if you were above ticker we would need to talk!
My share of the day is I am getting into doubling up. I used to go to the gym every day but I am playing with the idea of going twice on some days.
I used to alternate running with weight training on a daily basis. But I feel fine doing weights every day now. So on the days I run, I will also do weights at lunch as well.
It's going to bust me up.
I will be racing a colleague who is much lighter than me (140lbs) to a 5k on the the treadmill on Friday. I think I stand a good chance.
Cool kids "share of the day": I tried walking (more than a bit) faster today--my shins said 'not yet', so I slowed down, but I walked twice (morning and afternoon), and still a bit faster than yesterday. I daydreamed about weight loss while walking, since my usual walking partner had too many meetings today to walk with me.
I really want to be down another 5-6 lbs before our vacation (departing June 29)--as if I need an excuse to buy new summer dresses!
Ian, I was doubling up there for a while when I was just getting started. It was a bit much after a while, but sometimes I kinda miss it. I would go in the mornings before work, get my cardio on then in the afternoons after work I would do the weights. I was beat by the end and was going to bed at 8:30 to get up and be at the gym by 5. Going to bed that early is not easy, the sun is up and the birds are singing, it's not bed time! The part I miss is the energy I had in the mornings after the gym It takes me a bit longer to start functioning without it. Just make sure you are giving your muscles a chance to recover You are pulling quite the vanishing act over there man!!! I am a tad jealous
Beth it sounds like you are well on your way to recovery! Every girl needs a new summer dress once and a while! (I got one yesterday in fact!!! )
Thanks Silverfire. I must admit I do worry about overdoing it. I need to be a little careful and stagger things a little. So perhaps double up some days but not others. And, yeah, I am up at 5 to do this!
161.2 today. Really frustrated. Want to see 159 so bad. I'm going to be 100% on plan through the weekend and hope to make some progress for my official Monday weigh in. If not, well then, I don't know but it won't be pretty
