Welcome MrsDeenz! Feel free to jump in any time :D

Man, packing to move out has got to be the most dusty experience I have ever had :faint:

Icon I haaaate packing for that reason!

Mrsdeenz- welcome!!

I was able to sleep last night! I haven't really been sleeping well, but the exercise helped my back loosen a bit. Ooh sleep, how I love you :)

I love you ladies...I'm going to be taking a break from 3fc for a little while...

please keep me and my family in your prayers.... especially my sister...

I love you all and I'll be back soon :)

Haley - You and your family are in my prayers! Take care, hun!

Good luck to all of those battling finals and papers! You're almost done!!!

I got a surprise day off yesterday! We had the farrier coming to do the horses tootsies, so it was already going to cut my day in half. Some friends wanted to come see the progress at the farm and most of the office had to attend a meeting and shut down early. I was able to spend the whole day with my ponies and enjoy the weather!

The scale read 165.4 again this morning. Totally thrilled by this and really excited to see if I get the post TOM whoosh! My 12s are super baggy today...I could definitely use a belt! The hubby wanted to go to Ledos Pizza last night in Colonial Beach, but I was a good girl and got a grilled chicken salad with light ranch. ;D It's so great to feel "far out" from the world in our rural setting, but be so much closer to shopping and dining options. I just can't get over it!

Moving the horses has been a success, except that Taylor (my mom's mare) is in season. Not too much fun with a little mini stud who thinks he's much larger than he is. She wasn't home two hours and she broke a board trying to get to him. Now Trouble (my mini mare) seems to be following suit. Tyke was being evil to her, so they have been separated. He's been screaming his head off since last evening and the rest of the horses couldn't care less! lol Hint that he's obnoxious!?

Hey ladies! I'm just quickly stopping by because the internet is ALWAYS a great procrastinator's tool. Actually, I'm digesting breakfast and I'll be heading to the gym at 11. But no time for personals...I have to actually force myself to the library to pretend like I actually care about studying for psycholinguistics and anthropology. This senioritis is hard!! I had my audiology final yesterday....Audio final: 1, Sam: 0. It definitely owned me. But I guess that's what happens when you only study for 1 hour. I had no motivation to study. But who cares?! I'm graduating...it won't matter! My mom doesn't care, so I don't hahah!

After the bad weekend, I'm back to 142.2...I had a brownie with strawberry ice cream yesterday, but I had also worked my butt off at the gym and I'm going to do the same today..so hopefully I can just maintain this. Finals week is so hard for me eating wise. That's another reason why I'm going to the library. I can't eat except the lunch I'll be packing for myself!! I'll just grab an iced coffee, take the stairs to the highest floor, and stay there! It'll be so much easier for me to be on track once I come home.

Alright, time to look at some notes and digest these cheerios. Have a great day everyone!

Haley - you all are in my prayers! Take care sweetie!

Good morning, everyone! I'm glad to be back...I needed to be. I have been skimming through and just went through a rough spell and did not comment on anything. It's time to get back into these conversations! :)

Samantha...yes, the internet is awesome at helping a procrastinator...I'm guilty of it too. I have one final today at 6pm and I have not studied yet either. I'm not worried too much about it. The man basically told us exactly what was going to be on the test.

JennyG...what is Canada's food guide? Is that like the food pyramid or something?

Taylor86...ya got some good goals! Good luck!

Chele615...I love walking with a friend. It makes the time go so much faster and my friend always pushes me to go faster and further than what I would normally do.

smisen...good luck this weekend! I think focusing on stopping when full is a good idea. ;)

jazzang...wow! a 10K? I have never imagined myself RUNNING that far. Good for you!!

platformnine...Mexico sounds like a lot of fun. I have never been, but would love to visit one day. Have fun!

Well for me...last day of my exams. I have one test this evening and then I'll be finished until June! I wish my break could last until August, but I just don't have the time to spare. This semester really kicked my butt, but I think I'm going to have all A's! I decided yesterday that I want to lose 50 pounds this summer. When is the first day of Fall? That's going to be my goal day. I tried the C25K a couple of times...man, it is sooo hard starting out. I need to stick with it and push myself. I have a problem with will power and I wish I had someone at the gym telling me to keep going...my own Bob or Jillian...haha! Anyway, I hope you lovelies have a great day!

Just checkin in really fast - I haven't fallen off the face of the planet. Yesterday was a really horrible day for me eating wise....and the past 2 days I think I've been living in the twilight zone.

My scale hates me this morning and is an effing liar because I did not eat enough calories between Sunday and today to gain 6 lbs. The effer had the audacity to say 188 this morning!!!!

I went to the gym Monday and yesterday. Therapy tonight so it's my off night and thank god I have therapy tonight - it's been a heck of a day already.

Hope you all are doing well. Hopefully I'll have time to check in more thoroughly later or tomorrow!

Hugs to Feral!!! If it helps, I haven't lost a friggen pound since January...gosh darn plateaus!!!

Sgregg - yes I believe its alot like the pyramid..apparently I'm lacking heavily in fats and carbohydrates, so my task for the next 4 months is to focus on nutrition and not calories! HELP! lol.

Jenny - I did that last week for my hike preparation. Its actually a lot easier than you think. I still paid attention to calories, but I focused more on the carbs/pat/protein ration (why thank you, fit day).

Feral - water weight. Your body is probably just shocked b/c you didn't eat well yesterday.

This is the slowest day ever.

JennyG....All I got to say is...good luck! Haha!

Catching up, got a late start to this week...

Feral - Glad you're feeling better!

Lauren - Yay for having the horses home! I miss riding horses every day. :(

Stella - I am jealous of your massage! It's been at least two months since I've got one. I could really use it! I missed previous posts, what happened to your leg? I hurt my ankle about a week and a half ago and haven't been able to do anything on it since. I was on crutches for a week, probably still should be, but I couldn't take it anymore & am hobbling around. It feels like it's taking sooooo long to heel.

Samantha - I bet moving back home will give you an extra boost! With your mom eating healthy too, and no roommate sinfluencing you! I sympathize with your sunburn. I get them bad like that every year. I'm so pale skinned. :(

jazzang - Whoo hoo! Kick butt at that 10K! I also, am dying to be in those 150's so bad. It feels so close!

skinnybride- Your dinner concoction sounds wonderful!!!

MrsDeenz- Welcome!!

sgregg- Yay for last day of your exams! I'm done until August, but I wish I was starting my June class. :( My financial aid got messed up for the summer, so I have to wait until fall. I might be weird to be sad about that, haha.

----

I was really excited for tonight. My neighborhood association has a park (which is just a big area of green grass) that they use for all kinds of things. Starting tonight was (free) Yoga on the Green, every Wednesday night at 7pm, but of course, it's been raining all day. :(

Something I also love about my city is the different classes and activities they offer. Also, being that I'm a single mom & full time student they gave me a scholarship & I only have to pay 25% of the cost of the classes, which is awesome! So starting the week of June 14 I'm doing these classes:
Monday - Zumba
Tuesday - Yoga
Wednesday - Yoga on the Green
Thursday - Hip Hop
Saturday - Kickboxing & Toning
And it's only costing me $17.25 to do all that for 10 weeks, which is awesome. I didn't know what I was going to do with myself this summer with not taking summer classes...now I know!

My son is also starting classes. He's doing Tae Kwon Do for 10 weeks and also a 3-week (4 days each week) Tennis camp-type thing.

I wish it started sooner....I'm ready to do it!!

so I got an 82 on my audiology final. I'll totally take it since I barely studied!!

Just skimmed because I'm running late, but Stella I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better! And Haley I hope you hurry back to us and that everything is alright :hug: :hug: :hug:

Wooo bye bye water weight :D I love stepping on the scale everyday and seeing a little drop every day. Did a great kickboxing workout and I'm off to the Phillies game tonight!

See you ladies later!

vertigoskyy - I hiked 30.7 miles on Saturday. I was supposed to do 62, but I got a leg cramp that made me drop out.
