Omg, Pix, what a handful you have! I have often wondered if the all-over emotion is only from girls or if boys do the same thing. I just started doing intervals on the treadmill too. I do 90 seconds at 5.0 on a 2.5 incline. I tried running faster but I would rather do uphill and slower. My heart rate gets up to 170. Whew! Knockin' that plaque right off my arteries!
Totally know what you mean about changing as a mommy. We were at the zoo the other day and DH decided to get my 1 yo a blue raspberry snow cone. Her shirt was one of her "good" ones without stains yet so I made her go topless. We got looks, but it's kid #4 and it's just not that serious.
Mollz, pass some of that pain this way if it's making you drop weight like that! Chicken skin is super nasty. I am gagging thinking about it. DH used to take boiled chicken skin and put it in a flour tortilla and eat it. Gross!
Lola, I hope that your stomach pain goes away or they at least figure out what it is. So many people recently have been having stomach stuff that the doctors eventually end up labeling "irritable bowel syndrome." I think they just give up looking. (not to say that IBS isn't legit, but there should be some test to determine if it is that before months of other testing)
Parked, don't they see shows on the east coast before the west?
Squeak, you seem like such a sweet mama. Your mil is a crafty one, isn't she? I'm glad that you found some answers to your questions.
Big, 30 days of raw food. Wow. I don't think I could do 12 hours of that. Good job on starting a weight lifting routine. I like weights way more than cardio. I think it's because you get the satisfaction of seeing results from it pretty quick.
I have a little rant...I'm kind of sick of Jillian. I know you all love her, but not 1 day passes without her face popping up every where. I'm a little sick of TBL too. The show itself isn’t bad, it's the stinkin’ commercials IN the show that are driving me nuts. "I was concerned about Sunshine's meals so I asked her to stay behind so I could have a conversation with her right next to this conveniently placed pack of Extra gum." How much money do they need to make? I hate advertising that is insulting to our intelligence. OK. That was my rant. I still watch the show. I just fast forward through that junk.
Yesterday my DH was a volunteer at a Phoenix Children's Hospital fundraiser. Filippe and Sione from last season of TBL were working there too. I begged him to get pictures, but he said he didn't want to embarrass himself. He did talk to them for a minute.
So, it's just about the end of April, I just went back and read my first post on this thread. Although it seemed a little lame at the time, I'm glad I posted that note to myself. Today I was feeling like, "I'm stuck again." I didn't realize that I weighed 192 when this thread started. That's a pretty good drop for a month. I am going into May feeling hopeful.
