~~~Weekly Chat June 20 - June 26th~~~
 

Busy busy b...

Kawaii - Very true we gotta do what we gotta do, we aren't so lucky to have skinny jeans...boo genetics! lol. Also for the biggest loser thing, it happen to be a fluke that I signed up I ran into one of the threads and saw the posting so signed up for it. You pretty much do your regular thing and then every week post your weight, you only get two freebies to use and after that you'll get elimated. It's kind of nice, it sort of helping to keep me in check simply because I don't want to disappoint my team haha.


This weekend was so much fun! I went quading with a guy friend and it made me realize that I'm glad my second job went flop because it gave me more time to hang out and do the things I actually enjoy instead of working all weekend being stuck around snobby catty old hags who have no ambition in life but to work at a bingo hall...(that includes the younger 20's year olds as well.)

I was up to 160 on the scale on friday! FAIL! I haven't stepped on it since thinking and hoping it was just a fluke! I stepped on it later on at night after all my meals. I havent stepped on it since then so who knows!

I also did the Insanity fit test! Brutal!!! I'm starting the workouts today! woot wish me luck!

MiZ: So your starting the insanity workout? Your one brave woman!

Been doing good and very proud of myself. Have been getting my workouts in and eating correctly! Have tons of homework that needs to be done and cleaning but it's such a beautiful day outside I just want to take my kiddos to the park and chill out but ...maybe I can do both :)
This morning the scale read 131.4 from 132.8 a few days ago! So thankful for that ..although I could have long hit my goal weight but have screwed up so much this past month and a half that I can only look forward to the future and not dwell on the past I guess lol.
Hope everyone is having a great day..it's onto laundry and mopping for me :)

JL - Ah brave...no, insane? Possibly but you know know what I love a challenge and I'm not in the best shape if in any shape, but I'm not going to fear trying it thats for sure. You can take as many breaks as you need and I think this is what I need to get my self motivated again because NOTHING has worked for months! lol also yay for being at 131, and you are welcome to come over and do my Laundry haha.

What is quading, MiZ?

JL: Well done!

I'm also doing laundry today. And packing. And trying to finish reading my book. And I've a killer workout planned for today: 30 Day Shred twice (different levels), c25k, and maybe JM's ab ripper dvd. I'm just pissed that my weight went up 1.5 lbs from yesterday. Okay, so it's probably more like .5, because the 164.4 I got yesterday was after exercising and thus lots of water weight gone, but still I'm a little irked and want to see those numbers go down every day, not up!

Ferumbras - ATV riding, 4 wheeling. :)

I gotta do laundry today to, since I have no more clean clothing haha. yay for mondays being the new laundry day.

Hi ladies - I don't remember whether I posted in the last chat thread or not. I just came back to 3FC last week after a year away... this site helped me lose weight in the past so I probably should have never left. :)

What a coincidence, I've got laundry to do tonight, too! My husband is on this kick where he'll only wear his white dress shirts to work, and he only has about 4 of them so I'm constantly doing laundry. I tried to stockpile enough clothing that I'd only have to do it once a week, if that, but he's ruining it. :p

JL: I noticed you're the same height as me and have the same goal weight! You're about 10 pounds closer than I am though.

Ferumbras: holy crap that's a lot of exercise! Way to go!

Wow, it's a new week already. Time is flying. Hi everyone!

Well, finished my weekend of work. I'm tired and crabby as expected.

I'm also incredibly frustrated with myself. I had several run-ins with foods that I did NOT need to eat over the weekend, including pizza and fudge cookies. I slipped back into my old way of thinking, and was eating way more than I needed to-- because it was there, it tasted good, and "oh man, I have to get back on plan tomorrow, better enjoy this." I forgot to try the whole moderation thing. Such a fail. Siiiiigh. I hope tomorrow's weigh in is at least stable and not up.

I was looking over my calorie log for the last week, and I have more days than not that I went over on calories. Which frustrates the crap out of me.


That being said, my clothes are fitting better and overall I'm feeling pretty good. I've been making efforts to walk it off/exercise more when I know I'll be indulging. I am meeting a friend for dessert tonight (might try and get sherbet or something light?) and then tomorrow a dinner date with a big group of people. I think I just have to stop being frustrated and all "woe is me" when I eat off plan/have social outings, and instead just focus on ways that I can burn calories and get stronger to off-set it.

Miz- Quading sounds fun! Glad you're enjoying your downtime.

JL- You go girl! You've got this.... I'm going to try and stick to plan, too. See you on the daily weigh thread!

Ferumbras-- Whoa, that workout sounds crazy! You'll sleep good tonight, that's for sure. I'll also see you on the daily weigh thread!

Mayness-- Welcome back! I say make him wash his own shirts. hahahah. Anywho, I had a regain myself, and had to start fresh. Glad to have you join back in!



Alrighty..... time to go get my exercise in. Only 10 days to go until bridesmaid dress-wearing time! Ack.... I had better not get a zit. :sp:

FPSJ: Clothes fitting better is a huge NSV in my world. Rock it!

So, I did indeed do all I set out to in terms of exercising today. That's about all I've done and the day is half over! Need to get moving on packing.

Hey guys, I’m having a bad day… week… urgh. I don’t know what my problem is… I get boy troubles and all of a sudden I am stuffing my face with crap. my date this weekend, did not happen. my messages to him remained unanswered, and now I am antsily waiting by the phone like a crazy person every night, cuz I am too proud (feel it would come across as desperate) to call him. *sigh* and so what did I do? stuff my face. ruin all the good work I did last week. I saw my reflection in the glass of some shop this morning on my way to school and just thought I was SO fat. makes me wanna cry. WHY can’t I get this stupid thing right?!!?

on top of it all, my A/C is busted and that makes working-out a big no-no… but it’s busted kinda weird, in the sense that sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t. so I can’t really call the repairman because – with my luck – he’ll show up and it’ll start working properly and he’ll say all is fine and I called him for nothing… *sigh* I’m gonna die this summer when it actually gets HOT!

oh and i should be getting my period anytime now.... someone say something cheerful to me… :cry:

Miz, aah, thanks for explaining that. is it working? the motivation thing? lol. sounds like you had a fun weekend. that’s good. as for the scale, well…. throw it out the window? lol. I’m not very full of good advice today, haha….

JL, well done girl… wish you could send some of that iron will my way! lol.

Ferumbras, wah! you work out a lot!! maybe I don’t work out enough, just doing 30DS once? lol. what are you packing for? and whatcha reading? (I’m nosy

mayness, welcome! I just came back after a long absence (and weight gain) too. lol, everyone is doing laundry…

FPSJ, I understand how you feel!! once you fall into that pattern you just kinda go “oh, what the heck!” and it’s hard to get back on…

MiZ: I really hope that insanity motivates you and I'm sure youll do great!
Ferum: Wow! You must have some massive energy to be able to do all that! I need some of that energy..I can only withstand 20-35 minute workouts! lol.
May: You will probably end up surpassing me. I'm hoping to get out of the 130's before the end of June and STAY out of them..Laundry sucks BTW...especially since I have 2 kids..I'm doing laundry every DAY!
FPSJ: I feel you with messing up..my binges have been crazy the past month and a half...today is Day 3 of no binges..and so far so good..I think me getting back into my workouts has helped out a lot! Yay for your clothes fitting better :)
Kawaii: No A/C, A bad week, your period, and boy troubles? I feel for you girl..thats crazy and too much. I always tell myself though..the warmer it is in my house and the harder I workout the more calories I will lose...rather it's true or not who knows! But it makes me feel better, considering I have A/C units and they suck bad! I really hope your week gets better!

Ok.. Almost 8 here and I have had to talk myself out of eating unnecessary foods multiple times today but have managed! I have only ate 1240 calories for the day which is really good...I am bound and determined to get out of the 130's and to stay out of them. So what have I been doing? Staying busy watching movies, homework, cleaning, and anything and everything that prevents me from looking in my fridge! Plus we are going the 28th to a swimpark and I want to look my best in my swimsuit! lol. Although I didn't completely finish my workout tonight I did 20 minutes of it which is better than nothing, and got all my water i ntake in! :) But I'm going to finish this! TTYL :)

Hey ladies!

Started the week off WRONG with a massive binge, throwing my weight from 129.6 Saturday morning to over 138 Monday morning. I'm down 4.4 lbs overnight (?!?) after having a low calorie (1100-1200) plus running day yesterday. I really hate this business of self sabotage and binging. There is no reason "some things I don't normally eat" needs to turn into "5000 calories of crap that doesn't even taste good." Whatever, I'm going to an Overeaters Anonymous meeting the day after I step off the plane in America in 6 weeks (??!!!????!!!???!?!?!) and taking care of that.

This week I want to detox or something like it - want to fit into my New Years Eve dress for a party on Saturday. I was 127-128 then and by the end of the week I should be 132 or less, so only a few pounds' difference. Just don't want to feel like a sausage in too-small casing.

KawaiiCandie Keep your chin up. Maybe you can work out with the AC snafu - more sweat and all, followed up with a cold shower or cold bath? Still haven't heard from the boy yet?!

JLNichols Eyes on the prize! It is a struggle but you can win this fight. Water park, ack. I never want to wear a bathing suit ever.

Ferumbras Go pack!!! Nice work on the exercise. How are you doing?

FPSJ Focus on the good feelings and the clothes fitting better! The worst and easiest thing to do is fret over missed goals, but as long as you're making some progress and putting in effort, you're winning. Let's remember that.

Mayness Happy to see you here, without 3FC who knows what dark dungeons I'd have wound up in during the hard times. Hope laundry goes painlessly!

MiZ Quadding sounds super fun! Kick Insanity in the a$$!

Kawaii: I'm sorry to hear it's so tough for you right now. :hug: I'd say call the repair place anyway and tell them up front that the A/C works intermittently. As for my workouts, I took a 20-30 minute break between each one, which is a lot better (for me) then going straight out for 2 hours. Don't think I could have managed that. Oh, and I'm currently halfway through Stiff by Mary Roach; it's all about how corpses have been used (and abused) for scientific purposes in the modern era. Absolutely fascinating. But I want to finish it by tomorrow as I'll be getting a new book in the mail that I've promised to write about on my blog (it's weight-loss oriented).

Krampus: I did get some packing today, no fears, and I'll do more yet tonight.

JL: I am totally in awe of your will-power.

I kinda broke down this evening (literally, tears and all that) over some financial issues. No problems currently, but I had to tell my husband about some bad stuff that happened several years ago that still fills me with shame and embarrassment. Not easy for me to fess up to. And though he says he doesn't think less of me for it, it still makes me intensely uncomfortable and I can't help thinking that in reality, his estimation of me has gone down.

Ferumbras - I wouldn't worry too much about it, when were young we do stupid things, I'm sure your husband still feels the same for you as he did before. No one is perfect.

Krampus - I know how you feel or all that candy I eat and it makes my insides feel disgusting...yet I can't stop myself from eating... We have issues...

JL - I always say a certain amount of number is better then zero. I love 20 minute workouts haha. I can't stand workouts more then 30 minutes for some reason haha.

Kawaii - :hugs: You're not fat you're beautiful! and boys are stupid...I'd delete his number and move on, the second you do they seem to message you. It works every time and then you can get your answer. :)

==

So me and boy A we're getting along for the longest time, too much confusing and his mind Fing so we stopped talking for a few weeks, or maybe it was days and felt like weeks but once we began talking again I decided you know a friendship I could do (I deleted him off facebook at this time too) and whatever else it is that we do and I'm okay with it. Well I went to add him back onto facebook forgetting about something I said a few months back (wasn't directed right at him but he could tell) when he read it I got an email and I'm pretty sure he's pissed at me and at a certain point I don't blame him but at the same time if he wasn't being so sh!tty with me none of this would have happened! Besides were in a good place now! Well we were I'm not so sure about now....but I sent him a text saying whatever come over for dinner tonight haha so we'll see a friend of mine just said we need to step back again and reboot like we did before.

I did the Fitness test again for insanity to start this week like the calender says and I pushed as much as I could through and I felt like vomiting OMG! So today is day one of the workout...haha wish me luck! Bring on the next 59 days!

MiZ: I'm sure he'll get over it! If he was that mad he wouldn't come over tonight for dinner! Also---if he wrote you and sounded upset it's probably because he knows he deserved what you said lol. Good Luck w/ Insanity!! :)

Ferum: Awww **Hugs**---I'm sure your hubby doesn't think any less of you. Everyone has mistakes they've made in life so I'm sure he can't judge you for your past!

Krampus: Is there really a Overeaters Anonymous? If so I need to look into that! OMG. 138 from 129..I probably would have cried...what exactally did you eat? So I know when I binge not to eat that. lol. I'm sure that most is water though!

Have done good today...probably not as good as I could have done...but stayed w/in my calories and thats all that matters! Still have to workout which will probably get done after my food digest..I am doing two JM DVDs..alternate back & forth. Today I'm on Day 2 of The 30DS which this is my 2nd go about but wanted to do it again because it kept me on track the last time! I ate dinner early tonight so I'm hoping by the time 9:00 rolls around Im not begging to go to the kitchen..I guess if I get hungry I might just go to bed lol. Hope everyone has had a great Tuesday! :)

Well, yesterday I had that breakdown, and today I learned my grandfather just died. It's shaping up to be a great week...

Sorry to be so down. I hope everyone's doing well.

JL: What's the other JM dvd you're doing? I just tried 6 week 6 pack yesterday and both loved and hated it. I have Ripped in 30, but haven't tried it yet, and want to get her yoga dvd. Have you done either of them?

Ferumbras - I'm sorry about your Grandpa, mine died two weeks ago. *Hugs*

JL - good job about staying in calories!!

==

OMG BRUTAL! Yes I couldn't even finish the last 15 minutes of my Insanity video...which is cool whatever you know? at least I did and tomorrow is a new day and a new video and you know what by the time next week comes around I'll kick todays video in the ***! Yep! BRING IT! I feel soo good. :)

Ferumbras, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather. You'll always have memories of him to cherish but it's never easy. *hug*

JLNichols Yeah I'm pretty serious when I binge. I ate just about everything in the world but my binges are always carbs. Sometimes just sweet is OK but often I eat so much sweet stuff that I crave salty tastes and end up switching back and forth. And yeah, Overeaters Anonymous is a huge worldwide organization that deals with binge eaters and compulsive overeaters.

MiZTaCCeN Stupid sugar. Glad to hear you feel great after working out, that's a fantastic feeling!

***

Down to 132 today, was 133.8 or something yesterday. I'll take it! I'm in a good mood today, got lots of shopping to do later tonight (my favorite!) and have been doing tons of pushups and exercising well.

hey guys, wondering if you all mind me jumping on here? always good to chat with some cool chicks ;)

ferumbras & Miz- my sympathies for losing your grandfathers. :(

krampus- i totally feel you on bingeing on stuff that you don't even want. healthy food isn't healthy when you've consumed too much of it...my bingeing has come back- i was really good for 4 months, then i went back to my old patterns. so far, haven't had one since the weekend. here's to day 3.

hope you all are well!

Fillupthesky - Of course you can! :)

Krampus - Yay for being down!

===

I feel better today, tired and my eye are puffy but they'll go down as the day goes by. Today is day three of Insanity. :) then I'm also going to do the C25K with Sweets afterwards.

Ferumbras (and MiZ) - sorry about your grandfather. :hug:

fillupthesky - welcome! :D

Yesterday I ate almost half a box of cereal. It wasn't good. I threw it out this morning, and figured out some of the triggers (not measuring/logging most of my food yesterday was the main one) and I'm sticking to my plan today for sure!

I really, really, really want to be at my goal by my birthday (November 1) and after last week's crazy binges I'm way behind where I should be. Also, my best friend got her professional wedding pics back yesterday so I just saw a ton of pictures of myself in a dress with spaghetti straps which is getting me down. It's not awful but I'm just really far off from where I want to be. I'll attach one - my hair and makeup (and powerful shaping undergarments) make me look pretty good overall, and I hate that all I can focus on are my pudgy arms and shapeless shoulders.

Here's a positive thing to balance it out - this morning my husband tickled my sides and I tensed up, and he flipped out over how strong my ab/oblique muscles are now. :D He was really excited.

Mayness - You look really pretty! Oh I do that too if I binge on something in my place I throw it out afterwards. Waste of money but I shouldn't have bought it to begin with!

Hey everyone,
Made it through dinner last night unscathed. Shockingly, my weight is not crazy high this morning.... weird!

I've got to work the next 2 days and I'm trying really hard to find some positive vibes. I had a rough shift last time I was there, and as a result my confidence is a little low going back today. I'm going to fake it until I make it, I suppose. I can't let my one b!tchy coworker's comments get me down, and I can't let one bad night turn into a permanent negative outlook.

Speaking of low confidence, I was feeling pretty good in my dress last night. And then for like the THIRD time my triathaloning/marathoning/tall/skinny friend made ANOTHER comment about how if I keep running I'll notice weight loss and it will make the running easier!

I know she's not saying it to make me feel bad, but for some reason it just goes into my head as "Well, right now you're slow because you're overweight, but don't worry, you'll get up to speed."

It makes it seem like what little weight has come off is insignificant, and it feels like a sly, sideways manner of saying she thinks I'm out of shape.

Caring what others think is NOT helpful in this situation, but still.... I always compare myself to others, and take comments like this to heart. As a result, I feel like I pale in comparison and I never feel pretty or confident when I'm around her. I hate this, because I really like her as a friend and we get along so well. Ugh.


Ferumbras-- Thanks for the nice words about my clothes. I am so sorry to hear about your grandfather and your financial struggles. I bet your husband doesn't think any less of you. I hope you've found some comfort and have had some quiet time and peace to grieve. Be well!

Kawaii-- I say you call and make them fix that thing! You cannot properly heat-style your hair in a hot apartment. hahaha! As for the boy stuff, his loss! Gotta get out of the house and go for a walk or something. I do the same thing with the food, trying to self soothe, but it never works in the long run. Hang in there!

JLNichols-- You're back on track, lady!

Krampus-- So brave of you to seek out an OA meeting! Let us know what it's like. I'm very curious.... either way, it's so good that you're taking steps to take care of yourself and to resolve the issues underneath the food. Hope shopping was fun. :)

MizTaccen--That DVD sounds nuts. I love a good almost-barf workout! hahaha

fillupthesky-- Hey there! I remember seeing your name around before. Welcome :) As I've mentioned before, I also "fell off the wagon" toward the end of last year. I had to start all over again at the same high weight at the end of Spring. So far so good though. You're in the right place!

mayness-- I think you look lovely in those pics! I also cannot buy cereal because I just hoover it like it's going out of style. Like you, I will have to put on a bridesmaid dress in a very short 10 days.. aggcckk! I am hoping I can avoid crazy eating until then. I've only had one or two instances over the past month where I've eaten past full or eaten for emotional reasons. It's uncomfortable to face it head on, but we've got to. You'll get to your goal weight for sure. :)




Alrighty.... time for me to bike to the grocery store and then gear up for work.

Trying desperately to stay positive and to take some pride in myself-- both in my weight, my skills, and just in myself overall.

This confidence thing is harder than it looks.

Stay cool, ladies. :)
-FPSJ

Thank you to you all. :hug: I'm doing alright -- still getting used to the idea, though that's maybe not the most elegant way of putting it. I ate poorly yesterday and so far the scale hasn't registered a gain, but it'll probably show up tomorrow.

FPSJ: Sorry about your coworker! I try not to worry about what others think but sometimes its hard and gets to me also! But we both just got to think of it like this ..them people most likely are jealous thats way they are rude!
May: You look beautiful! Awesome about the comments from your hubby and dont let a few binges get you down ..you can deff bounce back!
MiZ: Yay for Day 3 of Insanity!
Fillup: Nobody minds you jumping in! The more the merrier!
Krampus: Yay for being down to 132..whatcha shopping for?

Well I've been busy-busy-busy cleaning up the house today..doing a little extra too..such as cleaning the mirrors and all! Today is Day 5 of NO BINGING. So far so good..My weight was the same today as yesterday..I'm hopeful that Ill see 129 soon. Did Day 2 of 30DS yesterday...going to workout to 6 pack in 6 weeks when the kiddos take a nap today and then start on homweork. Feeling extra good today!

Making porkchops and low calorie mac & cheese for dinner..cant wait to grub! :) Hope everyone has a great Wednesday.. Hubby has to work all flippin day so its just me and the kiddos!!

hey ladies,

thank you for the warm welcome ;)

last night was a success...i usually graze a lot of have a binge at night time, but i just drank a lot of water and kept myself occupied with laundry...weighed in this morning at saw a loss, which i'm attributing to water weight. that's totally COOL with me!

FatPants- i feel you on comparing yourself with others, and comments that aren't meant to be hurtful but still sting. just keep your eye on yourself. then people will be comparing themselves to YOU ;)

mayness- these past few days of me being back on plan has helped with the bingeing. i've been planning my day the night before, and logging it ahead of time so that i don't stray and just look forward to my meals. maybe that'll help. hope today is going well for you so far.

hope everyone is having a good thursday!

Fatpants – ah *****y co-workers I had that when I worked at my part time job, miserable over weight woman their moods were contagious I tell ya! One thing I learned in life is never compare yourself to anyone. As hard as that is, because we are all shaped differently, toned differently everything =)

JL – Yay for day 5 of no binging!!! That’s exciting!

Fillup – Laundry…I really should have done a load last night.

===

So I’m under calories and I haven’t binged today but I’m hungry hungry hungry and I know it’s just that I need to get used to eating less (again) and not snacking on unhealthy things that make me full like mars bars, deli sandwiches, muffins and so on. So hard! But whatever I lost my bankcard some where so I can’t go buy anything anyways woot!

I changed my ticker and decided to put the starting point at 165. Yes it’s great I started at 180 and made it down to 161 but I think I needed a fresh start for everything! Work is almost over and then day 3 of insanity! And then c25k run week one day one! BRING IT! eww and I’m bloated gross.

Somehow, I just love the juxtaposition here, lol.


fillupthesky: I also will do advance logging so that I'm forced to stay on plan. For instance, I did this today with my exercise. I'm promising myself zumba, shredding, and c25k. They're already written down, in pen, so I guess I have to do them, yes? ;)

haha :) and yep if you wrote it you have to do it :p

Had a pretty rough day...I've almost made it through it though..About to take a shower and head to bed! Got a 35 minute workout in but had to go ride around in my car for 30 minutes just so I wouldn't start to eat! URRGG...crazy huh? Tomorrow will be Day #6..I'm hoping that after the first week without any binges it might get a tad be easier but who knows!

JL: Hey, at least you found a way not to eat! Count that as a plus and a win for the day, even if was difficult!

MiZ: You were right! I wrote down so I had to do it and I did it! I feel good for it too. I love my body's natural morphine.

JL - you gotta do what you gotta do! Get a camera, and make the next time you decide to go for a car ride a photoshoot of nice things around the neighbour hood or whatever!

Ferumbras - oh I know how you feel sometimes I have to drag myself to do a workout, then even drag myself to finish the workout and then afterwards I have this natural high awakeness and want to workout again! but I don't lol.

==

Day 3/60 was a success, I even started C25K with Sweets again, the Iphone app makes things so much easier then the way we were trying to do it before. Today is Cardio recovery day, my calves hurt like crazy! I feel like I've pulled muscles in both of them! I'm loving the fact I'm back into working out. I don't know where this motivation came from but GREAT! Today I feel light and "skinny" I'm not excited about my weigh in tomorrow for the BLC simplely because I was at 155 when I started and back up to 160...Not to mention Tom started yesterday then stopped...I guess I'm back to my regular period hours. haha.

Ferum: Very RIGHT! I could have destroyed my calores yesterday by eating everything I saw but I didn't so yes thats a plus!
MiZ: Awesome about your workouts. I feel like working out helps me out too! Plus it keeps me from going to the kitchen!

Ok so today is Day 6 of no binges. I'm really hoping this gets easier..today I'm going to do Day 3 of 30DS...and I think I'm going to take the kids to the park which means I'm going to go for a walk while I'm there lol. I think all the planks I've been doing in my workouts have caused me to hurt the right side of my chest. I don't know what it is but it's been bothering me & sucks! Hopefully i can push through it. Also I really need to get over this god awful headache. But I'm ready for the day..already ate my breakfast and had special k cereal & a special k pretzel bar it was delicious :) Everyone have a great Thursday...and for those that work it's almost the end of the workweek :)

JL: Congrats on day six! Way to go!

Today is pretty good for me, though it's promising to be a long one. We've a two hour drive to the airport to take a red-eye for the funeral. But, I went shopping this morning (no clothes for the funeral) to discover that I now fit into a size 10! Woohoo! I feel so hot in my new jeans, lol.

hey all!

things going a-ok today. on plan food wise so far, did some yoga, and took my neighbors dog (she's out of town) for two very long walks. woot!
some of you may know, but i was laid off my job back in december, and i've been without work for a while...i had an interview last week in san francisco, and they've called me for a second interview! very excited! :D i think i'm ready to leave seattle...

so c25k ladies- is there an android app for this too? how does it work? also, i use the treadmill when i run, as i'm to paranoid to run outside.

ferumbras- glad the tracking is going well! i see it that way too- if it's on paper, it has to happen. btw- that's an intense exercise plan you have. you do all three in a day?

JLN- congrats on day 6!!! i know how hard it is to fight the urge...

MiZ- period hours? huh?

fillupthesky: I've heard that there's an android app, but don't know for sure. The iphone one works be telling you when to run, when to walk, etc. It also lets you build a playlist and keep a workout journal (which I think you could choose to share on fb or twitter). As for my workouts, I don't always do things that intensely, but yes, sometimes I'll do three in one day. Usually it's only one or two. For instance, today I just did kick-boxing.

Day 4 out of 6 :) it was cardio recovery so not as intense but still intense. I'm also on a sushi kick, sushi, sushi, sushi not real sushi just like cali rolls haha but still.

JL - Yay for 6 day no binge!

Fillup - Theres an app for the Iphone so probably for the android as well? Also what I mean about period hours is, [TMI] I'll bleed lightly so I know I started. Then stop for a day, bleed lightly again, stop for hours and then BAM full blown. lol.

Ferum - Boo for circumstances but YAY for size 10 though!

I just wanted to pop in and see how our Japanese members were doing after the earthquake yesterday. I hope everyone is well.

There was an earthquake?

Ekicna - you look SLAMMIN'! Congrats on goal!

162 this morning. Wasted effort and stupid TOM...I give up.

Don't give up, MiZ!
