you once weighed 90 pounds? seriously?

I once weighed 90 lbs...I think I was 9 years old...

Ooohhh my gosh, I have always had horrible cramps! Like so horrible that I vomit and pass out :(. Needless to say, I take birth control so I don't get any periods at all and I have a hydrocodone prescription just in case.

Mmmm, Stella that dinner sounds pretty good!

And I am jealous of everyone else's tattoos! I really want to get mine this summer, but I am afraid of it being distorted when(not if, when) I lose weight. Any thoughts?

I FINALLY made it back to the gym! All the financial issues got sorted out and I was thrilled to be back! All those rugby practices and then stress kept me out of the gym, so it was nice to get back on that elliptical. Just like meeting an old friend :). Calories have been ok, a little over a couple of days but just by about 200 cals or so, so I will just scale back for a few days to atone.

Anybody have exciting weekend plans???

Haley - Enjoy your dinner with the boy tonight! I get to see Roy this weekend. Now that he's working I don't get to see him :C Also, for the hikin - I just love the outdoors! I love adventuring and exploring and there's soooo much to do at the place I go to. We even swam at a swimming hole! And on the blog note, I'm pretty sure no one follows my blog LOL! I just like to have a place to keep all of my thoughts.

Peachy - I'm glad to see you back here! :hug:

Mary - I read your blog! I like hiking too (duh) - its nice to be outside and it doesn't feel like you're exercising. Until the next day.

I HATE TODAY - can't it just be over? Also, eating, so off the map. Don't care. I'm not going to gym after work and I'm going to clean up my room, go through some clothes and tomorrow I'm going spinning and to the National Gallery.

Haley ~ I actually love my job...my kids are usually great and it's usually just the adults that I can't stand. The past couple of weeks just have been crazy!!! My Algebra kids have been complete angels since I gave them a speaking to the other day. Plus, it's the end of the school year and everyone is getting antsy. The administration sucks though.....and they really like making the sped department the scapegoats for everything. I have so many years (9) already invested in the school I'm in now that it would almost be stupid to look somewhere else and start from the beginning again and lose tenure. Either way, I can't wait until school is over for the year :)

Peachy ~ I used to have really bad cramps but then they stopped when I went on birth control. I can't imagine being on birth control and still getting horrible cramps. That sucks!

Stella ~ Sometimes you just need a day off from everything. Just get back at it tomorrow and it won't even matter in the long run.

I am going out tonight with my college friends, but they all seem to be dropping like flies!!! haha One friend has the flu, another one has a sick husband and son, a third one is trying to figure out babysitting arrangements for the 15 minute overlap between when we would have to leave and when her husband would come home, and the fourth one is coming from like an hour away....so she's already left! haha Craziness, but we'll end up working everything out like we always do and have a blast!!! We are hitting up the food court and then going shopping. I am totally planning on a Chic-Fil-A chicken and fruit salad and hitting up JCPenney!!! I can't wait :)

HI girlies.

I took a day off from the gym. I have been 4 days this week and I have a four hour hike planned for tomorrow so I figured I would let my body rest.

My eating as been on plan today. I went to Whole Foods for lunch and got a turkey sandwich with hummus and veggies and a bag of popchips. I took off the top of the bread so it was a open faced sandwich and I only got half the hummus.

Took a wonderful walk with Molly but WHY OH WHY were all the tan, beautiful and toned women running around me? I had a mini pity part for myself. I was even going to wear a sleeveless shirt *gasp* but couldn't handle my lower stomach being all 'poochy'....so here I was on a 80 degree day in long pants and a long sleeved shirt AGAIN...

I don't want this anymore, I don't want to be fat. Not another summer, not another minute.

stella I am with you. Today can totally be over. :hug:

peachyI have no exciting plans other than a hike tomorrow. You? Great job on getting back to the gym - I know how hard that can be.

haley I hear ya on the rant. We are on the same page. I am sure will life will even itself out.

Sam Yes, since loosing weight my cramps AND mood swings have been different and worse. Although I am on the pill I think that this all has to do with weight loss and the fact we now workout. Meh, yay midol!

feral:wave:

Stella - Aww :D It's good to know someone's reading it lol! I had no idea I'd like hiking as much as I do. I know I found some winter sports to love, but I'm even happier that I've found summer activities to keep me busy all summer long!

Taylor - :hug: You have made amazing accomplishments so far, be proud! I totally know how you feel. Just hang in there, you're doing amazing!

Yep... it wasn't the most pleasant time of my life. I was 23 and in bad physical shape. Weight dipped low again in 2006 and part of 2007. I'm tired of yo-yoing around and just want to normalise as healthily as I can.

So I went shopping briefly today...and I fit into a ZERO (plus size) shirt at Maurice's. I only just recently started buying size 1 and now...jfiewoa. Woah.

So I'm kind of annoyed because Erin kept me waiting all day long with no answer. I waited around all day when I was ready to workout at 10 this morning. She told me she was going out for lunch and then shopping for a little bit, so I expected her to be over around 3. I'm going to go take my frustration out on my kickboxing workout.

My dinner was awesome though, chicken cooked in lemon juice with a jerk rub and bell pepper seasoning along with roasted yams and summer veggies (squash, mushrooms, peppers, etc). So yummy!

I dont usually look at these chat threads but I decided I should join in. Today i started out great with my diet, then got a little worse, and by about mid afternoon there was a family problem between my grandparents and my aunt and uncle and my mother had to rush up there to settle things down..and thats all it takes anymore for me to crash. So not so great anymore. Last night I was pretty depressed, i almost called my friend to see if she wanted to go to a movie but it was getting too late, but i think i might see what she is up to for the weekend anyway.

Peachy: I have the same issue with the tattoo thing lol, if you find something out let me know..

I just had a bite of Red velvet cake /slaps self...it was just a bite though and soooo gooooddd.

So I had a pretty good day ate well til dinner we went to a new pizza place service was less than desirable the pizza was ok i had one piece and a breadstick and was full so thats good i think i'm still close to todays calories. I did 30DS and some additional weight lifitng and got in a quick walk/jog before the dh got home. and still no groundhog dern that vermin lol

My mother brought caramel bugles into our house.

I live with the devil.
