Hey everyone, welcome newbies! I am startin' this month out kind of slow, so I set a more realistic goal. Considering how I usually get during the holidays, 1200 minutes is more feasable. Been sick since the first, so I haven't gotten much working out in. WILL work out today, at least 1 hr. Jasmine, you have got some drive in you, I am super jealous!

RR-Yea, it works best if you just edit your original post.

guys i'm so sick. i cant do anything. and i'm eating so much crap unfortunately.. but i mean. i dont want to eat healthy right now.

i feel so bad. so i'm not leaving you guys. so you know.

eat soup elyn best thing for a cold especially sore throat and it can be low in calories too. Do you need to go to the doctor? I hope you'll be okay. You sound very sick. I'm sorry you don't feel good!!

yeah my mom and i have it bad. thanks for your concern! i need to eat some soup. but after 5 days... i seem to be getting better. atleast i think I am. I'll give an update tomorrow.

and whats worse is that I'm in a theatre show right now, so i go to rehearsal everyday feeling terrible. not good. but hopefully i'll be able to get back up to eating right and exercising soon!!

i actually wanted to exercise tonight since i felt so bad... but i couldnt... b/c i felt so bad. haha :) :)

Take care Elyn!

Walking on the threadmill is great when you're with a friend. I never walked on the treadmill till my BF Nikki joined my gym. Now the time flies by as we gossip and fuss. Add that to my time on weights and I'm getting in even more exercise.

It is great when yu have friends with you. The time goes by so fast!!

I love workingout with someone else!! I have only done it a couple of times this time, but DH and I used to go to the gym together, before the kids. I also like to walk with friends.

I think im going to the grocery store first thing this morning. I want to get some lean cuisines they saved my behind this last week. When I didn't know what else to eat I could reach for a lean cuisine. I try only getting the really low cal ones. They seem to hit the spot. I lost 2.2 pounds this week. Yay!!! Ofcourse I think I did more exercise this week too. (ie..flag football, etc).

I used to like to work out with other people... I don't know what happened, but now I seem to prefer working out by myself. (Maybe because I've HAD to get used to working out alone because DH abandoned his exercise initiative!)

I just sort of go in there, put my head down, plug in my headphones and get into my zone!

I do miss the conversation, though... maybe it's time to get back into the racquetball court with a buddy!
