Good Afternoon already gotten in my 2 workouts had lunch with a friends she ordered cheesburger, fries, and a soda I had water and a grilled chicken salad so thats a big GO ME!!! I have a greek casserole in the crockpot for dinner I feel like i could do another workout before the DH gets home.

Shan - I weighed the pros and cons of the gym vs. TV with a friend. TV so won. Thursday is usually my rest day, so I'll just move it to Monday this week. Not a big deal :) Besides, after doing all of that hiking this weekend, my legs may revolt.

2 more hours then I get to go home. Woo hoo.

Stella - Weepfest yesterday? I might need to dig up the old thread. Or fill me in :)

Feral - You'll be back in the 180s in NO TIME.

Jess - Go for the run! Half MARATHON!!! I want to do the Mud Run but it's all full, so might have to wait for next year.

Haley - I did your Stairmaster for 30 minutes yesterday and talk about working up a freakin' sweat! I was dripping on that machine. I almost felt bad but I cleaned it up afterwards. Man, you're a beast for being able to do an hour.

This week's weigh-in was good. Not in Onederland yet, but so effin' close it's pissing me off. Plus my TOM is still being effin' weird and late. Should be soon though, I'm losing my cool over stupid little things.

Stella - Enjoy your unexpected rest day!! I also had an unexpected rest day due to an aggrivated back but still, then the BF called and wants to take me out for supper - oh well, what can ya do ;)

Feral - the 180's are all yours girlfriend - you'll get there!! I'm hoping for a big whoosh after TOM and before my trip...so approximetely Thursday! lol.

I read this thread like 3 hours ago so I don't remember everything but I hope you all had a great weekend and are enjoying this horrid Monday that is ALMOST over!! haha.

Haley - You'll be outta the 200's and doing your happy dance before you know it. Not to scare you but I was stuck between 203-207 for 8-8.5 months before I finally hit 199. So just keep pushing along!!!

Jess- I'm right there with you... I'm at 202... I just wanna be 199... that picture of the mac and cheese was so tiny... I was about to lick my computer screen honestly....

Haley - Bahahahaha thats hilarious!! 202 - soooooo close!! keep trucking ladies!!!

OH - I searched the house high and low today.... ( I was home alone for once!!!!) and found my scale!! Stupid time to weigh myself, 2 days into TOM but atleast I have an idea if I gained or lost.... and I wanna have a good idea of where I am at before I leave on Thursday for my vacay.

Also - big deal for me... I have been under my calories the last 4 days...like not too low but usually I eat and eat to meet them.... I think I'm finally learning how to listen to my body and to realize if im not hungry well I'm just not effing hungry and if I am, and if I do want cereal at 3pm, I'm gonna have cereal at 3pm! lol. This is huge for me ladies....HUGE (like my ***!!! haha)

Jess - I didn't talk about it. I was just hormonal, silly TOM, and really really tired from the past week. So I grabbed the cat, held on, and sobbed into my pillow. She was irritated, but stayed there for a good 20 minutes, sans scratching. She's the most awesome cat in the whole world.

Jenny - I love how you hide the scale and then really can't find it :)

Alright. Time to get out of this place :)

Aw Stella - Well I'm glad you got the cryfest on. TOM makes me moody too. I hate crying and sometimes I feel like crying for no reason if I'm near TOM. Annoying. I want your cat though. That's an awesome loving pillow.

Haley - We are the same weight! Yeah, the picture is small. Non-recipe pictures are tiny and you can't see the details as much. Don't worry, I'll post the recipe either tonight or tomorrow. It's really, REALLY easy. You have an oven though yeah? Sounds like a silly question to ask but I didn't have a functional oven in college for awhile haha.

Jenny - You'll be fine in Boston. Get the clam chowder :) You almost HAVE to. And check out the hot Boston guys. I think they're hot. And hooray for listening to your body! I sometimes eat because I know I have to and other times I eat when I'm actually hungry. It depends. And other times I just binge. But I haven't binged since I started in February so that's good.

Mary - i right there with ya on the bloating. tom should be here soon. i'm hoping for a serious whoosh next week, cuz this is getting ridiculous. i've been + or - a pound of 166/167 for like 3 weeks. argh.

feral - you are looking sooo good. such a huge difference!! are you still sticking to south beach pretty much?

haley - 202, you are almost to the 100's!!! go you!!! you can do it!!! :cheer2: :cheer3:

jess - ok so i've been eyeing all this races.... the 5k i did on sat got me hooked. i'm doing the 5k at mission bay on april 25th, and then i'm thinking about doing the iron girl 10k in del mar on may 8th.... then of course rock n roll half on june 6. am i crazy? i think yes.

stella - you crack me up. no particular reason... just the way you say things. :rofl: :)

skinnybride - CONGRATS on the healthy choices. keep it up!

shan - i'm the same way with the down up down up thing. i think i subconsciously allow myself to celebrate right after a new low, and relax the work out a bit and relax the healthy food a bit. then i get back on track after a day or 2 and eventually see a new low number... then the cycle continues. i'm ok with it... as long as the cycle keeps going lower and lower!!!

Hey girls. Thanks for the kind words last week :)

Feral - Just saw your pic before and afters and WOW!! Great job! Def motivated me at dinner time because thats the exact area I want to slim down! Keep up the good work! :)

Haley - How was the show?


Well last Thurs I interviewed for a new job and got a call Friday that I got it AND started today :) Soooo exhausted right now. About to hop in the shower and hit the hay. Didn't excercise today :( But hopefully tomorrow.
Hope everyone else is doing good. Working today after being out of work for a few months def made me want to slim down!

Friends wedding in is in 19 days...i need to start kicking my own butt to make sure im more toned by then. I worked out around 3 and now I think Ill go for another one..NEED to tone up these arms a tad more before I slip into that horrible bridesmaid dress.

I just put up pictures on my blog of my new clothes :)

I'd put them in the photo section, but my computer is about ready to blow up.

Night ladies :)

Stella - Roy loves The Pacific, he said it's really good. Have fun with CB!

shan - I'm excited to go, I haven't been up in at least a year!

Stella - I LOVELOVELOVELOVE the second shirt on you. It looks so good! Want. Nice dresses too :)

Jess - STOP DOING RACES WHEN I'M NOT IN SD! Let's do one in June if you're around. I'm doing that Carlsbad 5000 in April. Then I'll be gone until May 9. Then the 10K on May 22 and a 5K following that. The half is in June? Oh ****. I might be able to swing that.

Kelly - Congrats on the job!

jess - i'm sorry!!!! lol. yup rock n roll marathon is june 6. its cool because there are bands every mile. I'm running half of it, lol
