Oh my goodness. I'm gone for a week on here and I have 3 pages of posts to catch up with. This will teach me to pop in more often! Lol.
Also, I haven't caught up with all the posts yet. I'm replying to pages 8 and 9 XD. Sorry if my comments confuse you guys!
Kawaii - Ahhh, I so look forward to the day I can visit Japan!! I've wanted to travel there since I was a freshman in high school, touring students from our sister school in Japan around campus. I. Will. Get. There. ... Someday, haha. I was confused when you asked me how many workouts I do in a day. I thought to myself, "What's she talking about? I only do one." Then I read my last post ... I was trying to catch up on a couple workouts, but I ended up only doing the one. My body was too tired! I was actually tired the next few days, so I took it easy and didn't really work out. It was also TOM. Typically, though, I do cardio (40-50 min walking) in the morning right after I wake up and before breakfast 4-5 times a week, and strength train 4-5 times a week. None of my workouts go over an hour. They're right under an hour, if you subtract the 10 min warm up I do. The book is working for me, though
. Lost another 2.5 lbs, woohoo!
Unstoppable - Amazing job, girl!!!
BuckKeepBlue - This is late, but hello and welcome
.
Rainy - Geh, I'm the epitome of a busy bee. I really should stop doing so much, but ... I don't know, I think right now is the time where I have to duck my head down and keep chugging along, doing the most and best I can. Eventually there will come a time this year where I can lessen the load. Good luck with your new job! Enjoy it. Also, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 100, GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOOOOOOO!!!
Nadya - Love the positive and healthy attitude your comments about food and exercising showed. We don't have to beat ourselves up over a few lapses. This is a lifestyle change, so a few lapses here and there don't play a big enough role for concern.
Gold - Mmm, pizza. I had some BJ's Brewery pizza last night with my SO for V-day. We had a great first Valentine's celebration
.
Jelb - Aw, girl, I know exactly what you mean about the stress, as well as family pointing out things you already know and are working on. Keep your head up!!! You'll show everyone in your own good time just what you can do. Then they can eat their words. (Fired up, me? Nahh).
Also, hello to

As for me, my TOM ended and I dropped from 163.4 lbs to 159.5 lbs. I gained since yesterday, though, 'cause SO and I went out to BJ's and did the whole shebang. Haha. Valentine's was great. He made it the best - chocolates, flowers, a card and balloon, and a black baby bunny on top of the chocolates XDDD. He looked so pleased with himself, lol. I was super pleased and touched, too. Makes me want to do that much better in improving our relationship and making him/us happy
. Ok, enough cheesiness. I'll pop in again tomorrow! I should be job-searching right now xD. Ta-ta, you beautiful ladies!
. I think it's all water weight that I lost, though, since my skin is super dry and flaky lately. I'm going to up my water intake. I haven't been drinking much water lately.
