good morning, happy sace de mayo!! last night was crazy down here in the sd :D but i didnt go too crazy. I've been really good the last couple days, and the scale said 162.0! woo!!!! i'm gonna take it and run with it. i'm getting so close to halfway, yay!

off to work! today is a catch up day. after work all i want to do is go for a run, make dinner, take a couple of naps, watch tv... maybe i'll do a load of laundry.... nah. lol

Good morning, everyone. Scale was down this morning. :)

jazzang... "happy seis de mayo" HAHAHAHA! That's so funny.

Ferel...I know that feeling you are feeling...when you know you won't be there much longer and you just get to where you don't care. When is your last day?

Jess7286...way to go on your running! Gorilla feet?...are those the shoes with the toes?

Skinnybride...I always split my chicken breasts in half. However, if I was to buy a steak, I think DH would think he needs one all by himself. Haha! What other kind of awards do you give yourself? I need to come up with some.

Chele615...way to go on your jogging!! Did you stomach ever get to feeling better?

As for me...this is my 2nd day back at counting calories...and my first day officially out on school break until things start back up in June. I am relishing the moment..haha! Just took my son to daycare and picked up a few sticks outside. We planted some grass and I got to keep it looking nice. Ha! Now to eat some breakfast and curl up with a good book! :)

Hi! I thought i would jump in with both feet and say hello! I am 22 soon to be 24. Way to big. and Been married for almost 4 years now.. I am so ready to be happy with myself and and healthy! Best of luck ladies! :carrot:

Hello ladies :)

Today, as every Thursday does, started off AWESOMELY at work. I verbally threw the CFR at someone (Code of Federal Regulations) because they like to do things the "efficient" way and not the "right way." I swear, I want to call the FDA and be like hey, you want to come for a visit and check this guy's office out? kthnxbye!

Other than that things are going well. My scale is stuck at 173, but I didn't do a really exhausting work out last night. Tonight I'll get that in. I also found out that I don't have to take one of my take-home finals, so now I just have a mini-presentation and another take home final (that's due in 2 weeks) and I'm done for the summer. Woo hoo.

I figured I would join both this and the other section since I fall into both lol

I just wanted to say.. that I have the weirdest body ever lol I'm sitting at just over 300, but I can still wear my 18s and 20s in jeans and my 1-2x in shirts. Go figure. And I'm in no way bragging, believe me, I just find it odd and I don't know wth is going on with my body.

But, I'm ready to shed the fluff and get down to where I wanna be. I, for the most part am happy with myself. But I feel I could be happier and healthier, even though I am SO much more healthy than I was.

Happy Thursday, ya'll!

Woo, 211.5 today. That's more than 1/3 of my way to goal! Also, my sister now says I weigh about 10 pounds less than her, haha.

3 finals down, my last one is tomorrow....this week is going by so slowly!!!

I was bad again yesterday...I had strawberry ice cream and some brownies. But fortunately because I ate it, it's gone! my lunch was bad today too so right now I'm over in calories for the day, but I'm heading the gym in a few minutes so I'll be okay! I just can't wait to be home, it'll be a bit better without the stress and boredom. I need to buy some books too! Any suggestions anyone?

Sorry, no personals, but congrats to the losses, good luck with finals and all that stuff, and have a great day!

sgregg ~ Yeah, my stomach eventually went back to feeling "normal"...or at least normal to me ;) LOL

I went for a walk with my friend today after school in order to pick her daughter up from preschool. I managed to run into 3 of my students in that time. One of them I ran into as I was pretty much walking into my driveway. Awkward! haha

I was supposed to go to a training for today and tomorrow with some fellow teachers, but the assistant principal basically vetoed it and told three of us that we couldn't go because of coverage. So, begrudgingly we agreed to stay back for these two days. This morning, the same assistant principal who told us that we couldn't go asked us why we were in school today because she thought we were going to a training. *slams head against a wall* I seriously cannot wait until the end of the school year!

Welcome camocutie!

I'm feeling frustrated with not being able to walk or do anything on my one leg. A goal I made right before I hurt myself was to walk 30 miles in May. I don't think that's going to happen. Grrr. I was feeling really good walking about 3 miles a day before this too. Even bought the Sketchers Shape Ups that I loooooove, but only got to wear a week or so.

@vertigosky. sorry to hear about your injury! i have a knee injury from years ago that likes to pop up and effect me.. and thanks for the welcom :hug:

@samantha good luck on your final tomorrow! and what kind of books are you into?

Sgregg- i usually buy chicken breast tenders and eat 2 they are so easy to cook with. Well i probably had less than a half maybe 1/3 and his was 2/3 he too is eating better and has realized he doesnt need as much as he had been eating. My next reward after i reach 170 mani pedi will be a new hairdo and then i have about $100 in kohls gift cards i'm saving for when i;m close to goal for a new wardrobe, i may do something like a spa day too as a reward. rewards keep me working toward something. I havent really bought clothes as i'm moving down i've gotten a few new things from the goodwill and platos closet the goodwill in the larger town has lots of name brands like gap and aero

Sgregg - Yeah, the sock type looking things. Vibrams. They're awesome. Some blisters but otherwise not too bad.

Aliquot - NICE! Keep it up :)

Stella - Some people just need to get their heads outta their asses. I hope HR pwns that guy.

Camo - Welcome! Here's to health :)

As for me, I took a nice nap today. Going to head to the gym soon.

camocutie: hmm..i can't really put a genre on it. I love fiction though. I'm up for anything!

hey girls. just popping by.

welcome newbies

jess - i say a guy running in vibrams today and thought of you. i am sure you looked way better in your than he did in his. i think the vibrams were controlling him instead of the other way around. training is officially underway for the half. last week i was sick. now im back

jazz - good luck in the 10K this weekend

stella - i love how people think that their own special way is always right. one girl at work tried her "way" at work on tuesday. She was escorted from the building on wednesday. oh karma

good luck to those still in school. Its almost over (well this year at least)

Its been a crazy week. The scale is still the same (what's new), but i hope to see a change next week. i cant blame anyone but myself. Gave my body some xtra calories. now time to take them away.

Samantha- thirteen reasons why was really good. its being made into a movie also. i love to read anything V.C Andrews. My Sweet Audrina by her is really good. a bit strange but good.
