Gooood morning girls

Just got back from my step aerobics class...PHEW is that a tough work My face is completely red and im drenched when I get out of that room!

I checked on a calories burned calculator thing, and it says I should have burned 530 calories! I know that seems a little high for only an hour, but how great it would be if it were true!

I don't think i mentioned it before, but gratz weezle on your new job!

Anyway I hope everyone has a good day! I'm going to go enjoy the sun!

Ruth~ Amen on the water gain, I am suffering from it as well, due to "Aunt Margarets" Monthly visit approaching,, ughhhhhhh,, ohhhh why could Adam have ate the apple and not Eve.. oh well, guess that is why men suffer so from Kidney stones. That is one way of getten back at them..LOL...

Had Spaghetti for dinner last night,, I uped my water to 33 more ounces just for the sodium and the PMS torture, doesnt seemt to be working though..

I have notice that when I make a new Recipe and it is gooooooooooood that I wonder in the back of my mind if it is OP.. then I gotta recheck to ensure it is,, and it always is,,, haven some OCD on the good foods here... ugh.

I had to write a 7 page essay on a popular trend for English 101, I wrote about the South Beach Diet, turned out to be 8 pages long, If any one is interested in reading it PM me with you email and I will be happy to share and perhaps you can critique it a little to help me out..
Take Care All

morning everyone.
school is really taking it's toll on me right now 2 papers (yesterday and today), 1 exam tonight, 1 exam tomorrow morning one tomorrow afternoon and a regional poster competition for the research i did this semester on friday. making me so exhausted and i'm really for the first time since being on the diet fighting very very very bad some cravings for comfort foods. I also started to gain some weight back. I think its more likely due to stress as my eating habits have not changed at all. Stress does make you gain weight right? :/
Also, not been sleeping well at night with all thats running through my mind so i went out and got some valarian root and took that last night...man alive did that help. hoping the vit. b supplements help my energy level...we'll see.
hope everyone is doing well and having a great day...
i think i'm gonna make pita turkey salad wraps again...man alive were those good.
later ladies...have a wonderful day

Edit: lovely spelling mistakes...

Not much going on here. Just working, have yoga tonight and I am going to try to get in some cardio since I will be at the gym already. Eating has been going fantastic today and everything is being logged in fitday. Water intake looks promising...here is to a lovely day!

soon - morning

cottage - oooh I love picnics, have fun.

schatzi - Got my coffee I don't envy you having to go to the dealership, they always take forever.

chipper - That is awful, I cannot believe the window company conducts business that way.

jana - What a fun tradition, (dancing night) too bad I live in such a small down it would be a heck of a drive to anywhere with dancing. I am stuck working too...you and me both. Have a great day!

Weezle - Hopefully you haven't gotten a party present of a new cold from the school...

colby - Ofcourse we do not mind, the more the merrier. LOVE kickboxing, almost too fun to be a workout.

sarah - If you don't mind me asking how much is your trainer? I looked into it a while ago and thought I remembered it being REALLY expensive. I am thinking of looking into it again.

pear - I am glad you have come to your senses...I know you can do it! And we are here for you .

demeter - that is GREAT news about your loss. When you fine the cure for cellulite let me know!

jazztap - I always wanted to do step but I am afraid I will be too much of a wimp for it!

mscrockett - putting your diet to work as your homework! That is so clever...

lotus - I get it is the sleeping which is making you gain weight. Most people do not realize it but that can affect your weight loss too.

Stepie~~ the easiest essay yet to write.....LOL

BB - that's great news hun!!!

Hey everyone. Just checking in after work.

Chipper - Grrrr on the windows! Man, that would hack me off too!

Weezle - Ain't it funny how they're nasty to you until you tell them you're leaving? All of a sudden they want to tell you how valuable you are. Just keep laughing all the way out the door, baby!

Colby - Kickboxing sounds like a blast!

Sarah - How's the new job? Are you still chanting to yourself "Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii"?

BeachBum - What great news about DH!

Pear - Classes O-V-E-R - what a great feeling that's got to be. I need to email my niece. She's getting her undergrad degree this year, so she should be done soon too.

Demeter - Great job on the 2.5 lbs! Hope you have fun at Oceans of Fun. I'm headed to Worlds of Fun in about a month (company night at the park).

Jazz - Step aerobics. Just makes me tired thinking about it.

MsCrock - Hey, if you come up with any new recipes, please post them. I'm a variety girl. Hate eating the same thing every day. So, I'm always on the lookout for new recipes.

Lotus - I know that I don't lose weight as easily when I don't sleep well. Of course, I'm not sure if it's because of the lack of sleep or the fact that I drink more caffeine the next day to keep going.

Looking forward to a great evening. Running a couple of errands and then home to watch "Idol". Talk to you all tomorrow.

So I just got back from shopping. I had $150 worth of gift cards to Old Navy, plus 10% off. I spent $28.00 of "real" money and all of the cards and got 8 black shirts (two v-neck, two t's, two polos, one v-neck with a pocket and cuffed sleeves, and one button-down,) three pairs of khakis (two tan and one pair of light capris,) and an off-white cargo jacket. By golly, I think I did ok!

Then, Mom took me to dinner. D'oh! Going to do at least some crunches tonight. I have to do something. I bit the bullet and bought two swim suits from Venus Swimwear today. Of course, they were both on clearance (I'm not made of money, I promise,) so I got two for the price of one, but still. I'm praying that the tops fit, otherwise I'll have to send them back until we get it right, and since they were both clearance, that means that I'll have to trade them both in for one suit if they don't have the right size/fit for me.

Time to buckle down and REALLY DO IT THIS TIME. I'm serious this time. I'd do more than crunches tonight but my body hurts so badly from volleyball last night that I'm afraid I'll really do some damage if I do anything. Maybe I'll pull out the stationary bike, but even my legs are killing me. Probably no time for exercise tomorrow because I have a visitation to go to (good thing I just bought 8 black shirts) but I have to get back at it ASAP.

Remind me that if I mess up (aka skip working out/pig out) that it doesn't give me an excuse not to work out/eat right for the rest of the week. I'm really trying to break myself of that, and it sounds like some of you girls struggle with that too.

SOMEBODY SMACK ME!

OK. I have a headache because my neck muscles are killing me from volleyball, so I'm going to do some crunches and lie down and see what happens after that. Have a great evening chicks.

beach that's great! a very close friend of mine just kicked her cancer goodbye too it's such a great feeling
jana - i totally kicked caffiene when i went on SBD so it's not the caffiene as i've not had any.
we'll see. i had gained back 5 lbs this week but today i lost another 2.
i hope it's just stress and lack of sleep yoyo-ing me.

everyone have a nice evening.
