Tara – Thanks so much! This thread seems to move MUCH faster than the 300+ forum that I’ve hung around at for the past few years. Hopefully, I can keep up!
Ashlan – Sometimes doing a new exercise regimen, or doing something completely new will totally re-kickstart that weight loss, if that makes ANY sense.
Bjeweled – Yay for snow days! I’m hoping and praying to the ‘snow gods’ that we have one tomorrow. I don’t mind the class I’m in tomorrow, I’m just not a big fan of the 6-9 class time. Just too long and boring. Haha. I guess that’s what I get for picking law as a major. x_x Ha! Congrats on the -2! Hopefully it’ll be even more come Monday.
NickiRose – Court ordered child support would definitely be a better thing for you in the long run. I don’t know if you have MSN/Yahoo/AIM, but you can private message me if you want. Family Law isn’t my specialty area, I’m more majoring in Criminal Law & Prosecution, but if you message me with any questions, I can try and help you out. I can’t give you legal advice, but I can point you in the right direction (hopefully!). As I said, I’m not an expert when it comes to Family Law, but I can sure try & help.
HWGA – I totally agree with the above poster…something doesn’t seem right, and you should always ALWAYS go with your gut.
I see that a bunch of you are BL fans. It’s one of the shows I never miss… that, and “The Office” are my shows! Heh. A friend of mine & I have to finish up our audition video & applications for The Biggest Loser, and we’re hoping to send them out in the next week or so. I was pretty upset with the way the voting went last night, but I feel bad for Dave. He just doesn’t seem to have ANY faith in himself whatsoever, and I just hope that Dan can help him out, because he seemed to be on the right track! And he’s lost 101 lbs since he started. That’s AMAZING to me. Such an inspiration.
Well, I have a mountain of homework as usual. I think I’m going to regret having picked up five law classes for this semester. I should have thrown in a fun one in there somewhere, but oh well! The sooner I finish these, the sooner I can be done.
It's official that I'm in love with Exercise On Demand! I finally got my On Demand working today and the first thing (after checking what movies are available) was get on Exercise On Demand. I did Cardioke (Billy Blanks Jr), Taebo, and Ab, total of 60 minutes! I'm already excited about what I'll do tomorrow. I tried Carmen Electra Striptease but it was boring for me... I didn't really get to the middle section and stopped. Maybe I will try it again and see if it gets better, since I did hear great things about her. I also ran for about 10 minutes, so 70 minutes today! yay!
Cake You sooo should post them! And just remember that you at least lost the weight you gained, even if it's not all of it. It's better than gaining more, you know? and 16 wks straight?! WOW!!! That's commitment right there!
Star 3 second cure for bloating!!! If you find it, let me know, too!
nicki From my own experience, it's better to go through the court...At least that's what I think. I'm a single mom myself and my ex was also a problem with showing up at trials. It took me about 5-6 trials just to get the divorce finalized! If your ex decides to stop paying the child support or something, the child support agency in your state can at least put in the enforcement..including taking tax return he's entitled to, and so on... But if you opt out of the court, then you are on your own, pretty much. I used to work at child support agency for the county and I've seen so many different bad cases... Hopefully your ex will come around.. I just can't understand these guys who don't want to provide support for their own children!!! (including my ex)
DisgruntledOne Thanks for that information! I needed that!
HWGA I def am going to join 30DS in Feb! I hope you will feel better soon... and the bruise will go away fast.. and even from what you said, the guy does not sound good. I think bejeweled's advice was a good one. Bottom line, stay away from him..
bjeweled I need a new challenge. lol. I better check out the chicks for a challenge thread! Thanks, girl!
Apparently TOM makes me run more. I dragged myself to the gym after an internal struggle. I am doing C25K week 4. For the first time I ran the 2nd 5 minutes. Wanted to quit, but I wanted something to share with you all. So really TOM and you guys made me fun further.
NickiRose - PM me your email and I will send you the recipe.
Tara - My best friend has Exercise on Demand! It's fabulous! I never got any kind of 'real' workout out of the Carmen Electra Strip dvds myself, so you aren't alone in that one.
Star - Yeah...it's a tough course load, but the sooner I get them all in, the sooner I'm finished. Just gotta look towards that light at the end of the tunnel!
Kayley Where in MI are you? I'm in Clinton Township.
Star I haven't had a true "TOM" because of my b-control and I get period every 3 months..but I still get that craving and moody and all that. And when I get into that mood... I CAN'T SEEM TO STOP!!
Tara - I'm in Southwestern Michigan. Down by Benton Harbor/St. Joseph, if you've heard of them...and about 10 mins from the Indiana border, near South Bend/Notre Dame.

Ohhh I used to go to South Bend area a lot because my friend was living there.
Soooo it took 25 minutes to catch and the by the time I actually get my post POSTED.....I will have to edit because someone else will haev chimed in.....hehe
Okay so me last night. I worked 11 hours and then went to the gym. I did not pass go or collect $200....straight to the gym. I didn't want to have an excuse. Well tonight is also bellydance night so I ate to dinner at Subway. I met BF there since he has got to eat too. I did NOT feel like going to class cause I was so tired from the gym. I didn't have time for strength training but I did have enough to get in 35 minutes of some great cardio. I got home at 10PM drank some coffee, took a shower and passed out until 5AM. Yay and I now I get to do it all over.
On another note. I hate my bellydance teacher!!!!! She doesn't stay focused or on schedule. Bad enough the class starts at effin 8:30 and on top of that she starts AND ends late. Plus I don't feel like we learn enuff in each class. I n my last bellydance we learning choreography (very short 1-2 min choreography but still...). Sooooo I found a woman I am gonna try out in VA Beach. It is 25 min from shoot by the time I drive and back I would still get back late plus they offer them on Sat and Sun. And her program is so much more structured...I mean I know we are supposed to be "free-spirited" and all but F*** I gotta go to work!!!!
Okay thanks for listening/reading
Starmac Congratulations on your second 5 min. I was supposed to have started C25K a week ago. But everytime I get to the gym the treadmills are taken so I opt for the elliptical. WTG!!!
Tara Thanks. I am now on week 24 and I can't believe I have lasted this long without switching to some other "crazy a**" diet. I am pretty proud of myself. I am gonna celebrate on week 26, it is half a freaking year!!!! 70 MINUTES!!!! Good Lord. You are a souljah!!!!
Kayley 5 law classes. Do your thing mama. That is ALOT of homework...what am I saying you know better than me. It is funny you used my real name....the other girls were probably like who the eff is "Ashlan"? LOL
Brie I am cheering for you. Now get off line and march you hinny to the gym....
Mojo I hope your power comes back soon. It sucks not being able to stay home.
HWGA Awww the baby fell. I hope you feel better soon. I had a headache too all yesterday ...they suck don't they. And GUESS WHAT???? I got a BIG BUTT Bruise on my arm. I hit it on a file cabinet lock. Thanks for talking to me last night. I hope you have a much better day today.
It is funny you used my real name....the other girls were probably like who the eff is "Ashlan"? LOL
Would you rather go by your username? Whichever you prefer!
Ooooh, a belly dancing class! Once I've shed, say 100 lbs, I'd loooove to take a bellydancing class! Stinks that the instructor isn't the best. Blah.
Tara - Aha! So you're aware of the epic dullness then!
I am heading BACK to bed. I slept from about 4:45am-5:15am, and was wide awake. I'm exhausted now, though, so maybe I can get some decent sleep in before class tonight.
Morning Girls. Just layin around till I have to go to the doc at 230 for hopefully some anti inflammatory for my back. I don't think its muscular because I have taken muscle relaxers and its does absolutely nothing. Now I am waiting for a call back from my allergist to see if they want to call me more antibiotics for my sinus issues.
Cake- no problem girl! Anytime.... sorry I was going in and out of the conversation near the end. lol I would go to another class or complain to her boss. The class is late, it needs to start on time and end on time. Your time is valuable. That's just my two sense! Oh and for the record, I didn't fall, I almost fell, but since I'm almost a superhero I caught myself by slamming my leg into the side of the bathtub... lol
Kaley- Welcome girl! I haven't gotten to talk to you yet. I haven't tried on demand exercise yet. Thanks for the comment... I'm not going to contact him, and thank God he hasn't texted since yesterday.
Star- that's funny! I never heard of that, but then again when I was on TOM I pushed myself to 20 miles on the bike... so maybe there's something there... I thought it was b/c I was pissed off. lol
Tara- We should do 30DS like we've never done it before in Feb! Start at the beginning and start all over! I'll do it if you do it! Both my legs are covered in bruises... maybe i hit myself in my sleep.... b/c this is ridiculous. lol
Vday- I'm glad that I got to talk to you yesterday!! I was wondering how you were going. My birthday is a week from today!!! I'm officially getting older. crap! I hope it works out with the new dude. Let's just forget about the crazy dude...
I literally went to sleep at 7:30 and didn't get up until this morning at 6 am. I woke up a few times b/c I couldn't breathe.... I was so bad last night I had McDonalds fries and a quarter pounder... but of course it doesn't make sense what the scale said. I weighed in at 278 yesterday today? 273.... I swear the more cals I eat the more weight I lose. I may need to up my calories..... it's so strange and I didn't work out yesterday.
Cake- The apartment hunting is well going...I am waiting 2 weeks to hear back from this "based on income" place and then I will be on the waiting list...which is kind of long but at least I know that I will get in at some point. So until then I am just chillin at the 'rents.
HWGA- I swear girl...you've got more men crawlin all over you then a playboy bunny enjoy the good with the bad I guess
Kayley- just wanted to say hi since I didn't really get to yet! Too bad all the people from michigan live downstate...I would love to hang with everyone
Bee- Girl I couldn't imagine having a sinus infection or allergies or anything...glad I dont have to deal with that. hope everytrhing clears up for you soon.
Well ladies I am just hanging out at home...I did just eat a couple of frosted animal cookies...bad choice but whatever. I am going to do my 60 minute ultimate ab video here pretty soon. My soreness is wearing down thank goodness. Then I have a hair appointment and then I am going to watch my friend Charlie play guitar and sing for the first time at this bar!! yay!! This weekend is soo jam packed with fun busy-ness I LOVE IT! maybe I will meet a cute boy to hang with too

But everytime I get to the gym the treadmills are taken so I opt for the elliptical. WTG!!!
