  • This guy tried to kill me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwtaEAr8qI0
  • Okay, so I decided to start using my Sparkpeople account. It's so easy, and I have a FRIEND in real life who just recently told me she was using it! This is exciting to me. A person to actually talk to. My best friend, yes, though she graduated in December and moved back home with her parents. Too bad she is hours away and we cannot workout and do fun things together, however it should lead to encouragement over the phone at least!
  • Frozen grapes! What a great idea, I will have to try that.

    Feral- Great link, thanks for sharing. I've been thinking about getting a medicine ball.

    Haley- Major congrats!

    You know, I still don't know what Onederland means but I gather its a major personal goal reached of some sort, right?

    Still at work....grrr. Been a long day and yet another day with no workout in sight but I made smart food choices and am going to get some longer than normal workouts in this weekend.

    Hope you all have a great night!
  • I'm just angry...irrationally angry... mad about every little thing

    and today I was starving and I played the food game all day...eating things i wasnt supposed to and then cutting out my healthy planned food to squeeze in a mini reeses egg which is only 90 calories but still... ugh

    I worked for 10 hours... went to the gym and busted out an hour on the stairmaster and 15 on the elliptical...still angry...

    Does anyone think that a significant weightloss can horribly screw with your emotions and make you crazy?
  • Everlasting I started using Daily Plate and I really like that.. I tried using spark people, but since I was used the other site it frustrated me. I love using a CC site though. Helps a lot to keep me on track.

    I want to try frozen grapes now too!
  • Haley - YES.

    I heart wine.
  • Feral: Natalie Portman's character in Garden State is named Samantha! Coincidence? I think not!

    Haley: Absolutely!

    Oh and my newest addition to my life's lessons: don't go running an hour and a half after having a rum and coke...or any drink for that matter. Even if it was a weak drink. I've had quite the funny night.
  • Haley - YES!!! My mind has been effed for quite some time, and I'm thinking thats why I have been in the 190's for 6 months now...even though I diet and exercise like a freakin baboon! UGHK -now I'm angry...6 months stuck in the 190's...now wonder I want to quit and commit lol!

    And Haley - one hour on the stairmaster...you freaking rock, don't be angry! (... I know, I know, easier said than done!) Wanna get out of the 190's together (since Feral already bet us big time!!!)???

    Stella - I also heart wine....and vodka
  • Jenny - I don't think I should break the vodka out...

    Samantha - I watched that the other night. I loooooove that movie.

    Okay, I should sleep. Seriously..
  • AJ - feel better. i have never had gallstones but i can only imagine

    Lissa - you can take my chocolate, you can take my pizza, but if you take my coffee, i will cry or punch something.

    chris - i have never had them before. sounds delish though

    feral - that looks intense. But i think i might try it next time i go to the gym. i need some variety

    sweet - no worries. at least you ate right. I vowed to myself that even if i couldnt make it to the gym, i would stay on plan. This is after years of exercising and thinking i could lose weight by sitting in line at Burger King. Yeah all i lost was money on the value

    Haley - HECK YES! Personally, I ate to cover up my emotions. So when the excessive eating stopped, emotions surfaced that i never even knew were there. There is one period in particular that i reference and my friends and family know exactly what i am talking about. I was beyond "out there."

    stella - wine. yum. a good reisling or moscato would be nice right now


    a tornado and thunderstorm canceled the bootcamp. But i didnt say i was going to get in 2 workout so i made my way to the gym. It was nearing closing time and i was doing a few intervals on the treadmill. I was thinking about goals and what i wanted to accomplish. In my head I thought about writing my next go here of "sprinting at 11.0 on the treadmill". I only had 30 seconds left of my run so i channeled the nike commercial and just did it. 15sec at 11.0mph Check on that goal. Next
  • Hey ladies - Seems that everyone is enjoying Thirsty Thursday Hm, I really want to make a Pomtini but I sobriety pledged to myself until my birthday. Bah. Temptations.

    Chicago - Onederland is us being back in the 100s and no longer seeing the 2! I will totally ask you advice about law school (when it comes to outlining for finals and job apps and what you recommend). I absolutely hated my contracts professor. He was so aloof and just bleh. Oh well. How do you like your job? Guess it's pretty good if you've been there for 4 years!

    Haley - Congrats on Onederland! WOHOO! And like I always tell you, you are a BEAST on that Stairmaster. I aspire to be you one day. I'll see if I can last 40 minutes next week on it. Your 99 minutes is coming up soon! Take before and after pics for memory's sake It'll be great.

    Jenny - How was your trip?! What did you get?
  • ok my hubby i love him so, made my weakness...banana bread my dads recipe at that. i had 2 really big pieces. i sorta needed it cause all i've had was salad and a yogurt/granola mix. i was hungry. i didnt need that second piece but i didnt feel like letting my daughter waste it.
  • Okay, I'm gonna be out of town all weekend. This is a slight depressing! I love the place I go to volunteer at, and they are a "Health" camp. But they started more in means of fattening up malnourished children during the depression, and have pretty much kept the same menu since. Last time I spent the weekend there I still did lose weight, but blah, I'm going to have to keep track of everything in my head, and be tempted by succulent baked goods all weekend.

    I will be working with kids, so I have the feeling that I will be running around all weekend. We'll see.
  • Chicago - I'll be honest with you. I did a resistance band work out and then I feel like I half assed the medicine ball work out. I have a hard time even doing girl-modified push ups. I have NO upper body strength which is what i really want to work on. However, I did TRY.... and I am definitely sore today, not miserably sore, but like HEY YOU DID SOMETHING sore!!!!!

    Haley - I still vote hormonal changes can play a role, but I didn't even take into consideration all of the emotional changes and challenges. Hang in there, we're here for you!!!

    Stella
    - ohhh wine! What kind?!

    Samantha - LMAO Dare I ask what happened on your run?

    Jenny G - you're gonna make it out of the 190s eventually girl. And I'm not that far into the 180s. My scale is still acting whacky. When I stepped on the first 3 times it said 189.5, then when I moved it and tried again it said 188 so I'm gonna take that. It's been all over the place far too much lately. You'll get there!!!!

    Alana - it was intense with me half way doing it, so yeahhhh..... and I didn't even attempt the roll into standing move. GO YOU with your 11.0 sprints!!!!! You're like a cheetah!!!! We had some pretty nasty storms roll through last night, no tornadoes though luckily!!!

    Jess - I missed out on Thirsty Thursday!!! *pout* Maybe if I had more of a social life I wouldn't but then again I drank a LOTTTTT last summer and I swear it helped add on those extra 20 lbs.

    Lissa - I think it's awesome your hubby bakes but I would have to have a conversation with him regarding either hiding it or modifying it.... I would've eaten the whole damn loaf!!!!


    Chris - we cross posted. Enjoy yourself and resist the temptationnnnn!!!!
    ---------------------------------

    Oh ladies I can't even begin to tell you how thankful I am it's Friday. I am going to SLEEEEEP in tomorrow. I've been so tired this week. It's been such an adjustment getting up for work after sleeping in last week and everyone's crappy attitude hasn't helped. I've been going to bed really early and it's STILL been hard to pull my butt out of bed in the morning. Not tomorrow though!!!!

    We FINALLY got some rain last night. Originally it was supposed to rain more yesterday (I thought), but the storms didn't roll in until late. I have to admit, it was GREAT not seeing any pollen on my car this morning. Poor Rhonda needed a bath!!!!

    I'm a "good" sore from my work out yesterday. I worked out at home though and I have to say I like going to the gym more because I'm more motivated to push myself at the gym.

    Not sure what the plans this weekend hold. I'm hoping sushi and a safe motorcycle ride.
  • I feel so freaking gross right now. I just feel huge. I'm heading down to the gym in a bit. I'll run on the track and do the stairmaster since that thing always makes me feel better.

    I got that jergens tanning lotion again, I'm going to give it another shot. It definitely does smell better, I just hope it won't turn me orange! I'm hoping the bit of a tan will make my legs look better. I still have cellulite and really shallow visible veins. People are saying they're varicose veins, but I don't know. I just know that an almost 22 year old should NOT have them!

    I need to get working on my take home test today. I know it's going to take me ALL weekend to do. I guess it's good that my roommates aren't going to be here (again) for the weekend. They did surprise me though by telling me that next week for my birthday they're going to take me out to eat and then take me to see Date Night. I'm guessing they're paying for my part of everything? I hope so! Haha!

    Alright, I'm going to start walking to the gym. It's cold today! Yesterday I was walking around in a summer dress, and today I'm wearing sweats! Darn this spring!
