Just got done w/Day 3 of 30DS! I LOVE IT!!! Such a great WO!!! I haven't been too sore to keep doin it the next day, so I haven't had a day off yet....buuut, I'm thinking I might be a little too sore tomorrow...we shall see! After 30DS, I did Leslie Sansones WAH 2mile power walk...all I need is a 0.2lb loss this week and TOM peeked it's head in yesterday, so not sure if I'm gonna start early or not (should be next week some time)...I'm really hoping to make this challenge goal! AND yes, Jiggle, I'm up for a party also!!!

I went shopping today...AND GUESS WHAT FITS? bought a pair of khakis SIZE 12!!! and khaki capris SIZE 12!!! Now, only if my sz. 12 GAP jeans would fit better!!! I'm hoping once I finish 30DS they'll fit pefectly!!!

Thanks!!!!

Lori-I think the bob hair style would look adorable on you! I know its hard to cut your hair...i had my hair cut about 5yrs ago,it was pretty long(half way down my back) and i loved it when i got it cut. Its so easy to manage now!

KDM-Congrats on your size 12's..whoohoo!

Ok, just popping in...bbl

Lori~ I think the bob cut will look great. Go for it!

I had a pretty good day here. I wasn't able to do the C25K workout today because we had such hard ran this morning, it flooded the track/football field. The only things not submerged were the goal posts and bleachers. I hope the water drains off quickly! I was atleast able to get in some exercise here at the house, just not what I had intended to do today.
I hope everyone is having a good day and is at or moving towards goal.

KDM - you are doing it!!!

Lori - Good cut!! It's spring time I think it's cute and flirty!!

Well I'm feeling pretty good today. That woman brought them da$#*(U# cookies to work again today. I guess she wants to see if I can do without them two days in a row. HECK YEA!! I think when I first started it was like a novelty but now that you can clearly see I'm gonna have some awesome curves it's not cute anymore. When I get to goal the first thing I'm going to buy is a sweater dress and some boots. I will rock them too. Enough about that mess.

I did 30DS this morning and will be going to workout at lunch. By Memorial Day I will be wearing those traveling shrinking pants like at pro!!

I'm a holla at you ladies later.

Lori - you already look young, but girl, it makes you look way younger. love the bob on you!

KDM - keep up the good work. You have inspired me to ask for the 30DS for mother's day lol

Jiggle - some people are just so petty and sucky. I hope she gains 20 lbs from all those cookies!!

I have 3 days in this week so far. Hoping for 2 more of exercise. I wasn't feeling it at all this morning. I felt like crap the instant I woke up. I made it to 1.5 miles and had to stop.

Morning all!

Well I turned my paper in confidently knowing that I did well on it and as for my spanish writing final....well...that's a whole other issue! I did well on it until the last page, my pencil ran out of lead!!!! (mechanical pencil, that is) I was trying to fix it, and then the proctor goes 2 minutes left! I panicked and was able to get someone else's from them and finish, but a few sentences you can't visibly read that well...I'm just hoping the person who grades it realizes I was running out of lead and takes it into consideration....ugh!!!! not the way I wanted to end that final! oh well I rocked on the rest of it, I can't imagine the last page screwing me over too bad. Everything else though is great, OP all day yesterday and was able to exercise as well..down another pound! whoo!!! I'm really liking this! So when is our next challenge? Is it Memorial Day? I forgot...haha

aluxa: you should definitely go for a ph.d in spanish and teach at a university or college! That's not silly! I guess I would just do whatever you find most interesting regardless of what anybody else says or thinks because it's something you're going to be doing for a long time. good luck on that thesis!!! yuck!

lori: thank you!! oh and btw you should cut it!! You look phenomenal now but why not change it up, ya know?! You only live once and cutting your hair can be a very liberating experience!!! ( I know haha) it looks very cute like that and if you end up not liking it...well..that's the thing about hair...it grows back!!!!!

jiggle: wow your co-worker is a little byatch!!!! that would just fuel my fire even more to get in shape and look hot and flaunt it in front of that jealous co-worker! I don't get why people get jealous though, it's not like they can't go out and lose weight too, ya know?!

KDM: congrats on those 12's!!!!!!!!! That is sooo awesome!!!!!!!!

oh and random side note: Boy am I craving some sushiiiii!!!!! mmmm caterpillar roll and dragon roll... bad bad bad! I'm going to go eat a granola bar. . .

awwwwwwwwww~What greatness to wake up too!
I love u all so much~my best buds! thanks everyone~as soon as I get the money~I am gonna go for it most definetly.... well off to eat~ just exercised now I am hungry...HUGS!

Fruitlady: I’m happy for you. I hope everything will improve with time.

Misspriss: for your anniversary and share with us how your interview was.

Lori: I think that you will look great with that cut, and like my sister says if you do not fill comfortable on that, hair will grow back.

KDM: for the 12 size. I have started to fit in some of my old 12 size pants but most of them are still too small for me.

Jigglefree: I also want one of those sweeter dresses!!! I dreaming about buying one when I achieve my final goal.

Farn: I find the Spanish Ph.D silly because all the material for the program is the same that was part of the first years of my literature major when I was a student in an Argentine university. So I’m not sure if I want to study something that I have already studied. I may have to consider the bilingual education one but first I have to finish my master. I’m sure that you did well on your exam no matter your lead problem.

Ok, a quick bit about me. I've done WATP for abs 2 miles so far and plan to go around the subdivision twice (1.2 miles) with my baby when he gets up from his nap. I'm coming in low on my cals today so far, but I'll be fine. I feel like I've eaten alot, just all really healthy and low cal for today. Still no TOM, who knows when that will arrive - ugh. So we may not have a weigh in this week. I don't weigh in if TOM is in town. But I felt so much slimmer this morning! Do y'all ever wake up and it feels like you just dropped a bunch of inches in your sleep?! I do that ever so often and this morning was one of those times. I wore my new size 14 jean capri's yesterday and they're already starting to "float" more. You know, not as snug, but not yet loose - just a tad bit of floating LOL. Jiggle, I may go buy some size 12 Old Navy's soon!!

Speaking of jeans, the other day I decided to do a comparison and I was soooo shocked! I got out my old size 20W jean capris that I wore the heck out of for probably 3 summers. Then I lay my new size 14's on top and then on top of that my goal pair of size 10's. The difference in the 20W's and the 14's is huge and the difference between the 14's and 10's is not big at all!! I'll attach a picture that I took so y'all can see! I was so excited to see how far I've come and how UN-far I have to go LOL!

Lori: I think it would look super cute to go for the bob. Maybe a swingy one, where the front is just a touch longer than the back, those look really cute in headbands. Kind of like that Spice Girl married to David Beckham, I'm braindead right now to remember her name. Can't even remember which spice she was LOL.

Farn: Oh no! Note to self, use regular, old fashioned pencils in the future! Hopefully it won't mess you up too bad on that final! Good for the granola bar - bad on the caterpillar! Sounds icky to me LOL.

Jiggle: You are sooo totally going to be wearing those Traveling Shrinking Pants in the next couple of weeks and cookie lady can just keep on eating her cookies! Oh, on potty training - I am so not looking forward to it! Ugh. My baby boy turns 21 months tomorrow.

Krista: Yay for you doing that 30DS!! I'm going to get it, but I'm still scared LOL. And hoooooorayyyy for size 12's!! Like Lori said, that's going to be a huge milestone for me to get to! I still feel like 14's are bordering on plus-size land. But even the media reports that the average woman is a size 12! I am soooo ready to be average instead of above average LOL. It'll really be awesome to be below average!!

Shylah: good for you for doing 1.5 miles even though you didn't feel like it!

Susieyarb: thanks for sharing your jeans picture. It is great to see how far you have come and how closer to your goal you are!

I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited!! I know nothing new...but this time it's really something cool. As you all know I measure my loss by my clothing size. Well for the first time in I don't know when, I did the unthinkable. I got on the scale at the gym. O M G!!!!
I'm only 20 pounds away from ONEderland AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (screaming)!!! I weighed twice because I wasn't sure it was right. I plan to go get on a different scale at walmart to make sure that was right. I'm so stoked!! So the cookie lady can watch me do the dog on thang!!!

Susie - You are rocking it!!! I so appreciate you being my forerunner, it keeps me hopeful!! Go get those size 12 jeans girl.
Aluxa - I vote we get the sweater dresses and flaunt our fine-ness!!
Farn - Yea Flaunting is a gross understatement. I plan to let her know she was some major motivation. She is why I want the sweater dress. It will hug my curves and she has NONE!! BAM BABY!! As long as you feel good about the paper, it's all good! I'm sure you did well. Sushi...really not my thing!!
Shylah - She's not eating the cookies, she just brings them. It's all good though. I'm good. She can bring cookies everyday all I care. I can handle it now because I'm overly excited!!

I love ya'll too. You all are so much fun. We're doing a memorial day challenge right, momma (Lori)??

Jigglefree:

Hi chicks, hope you all are doing great. Lori- Your hair would really look nice in a bob cut. Do it! you deserve it!

I'm finally losing weight, but now I'm daydreaming about how I can't wait to go back to the buffet after I get rid of the weight I gained from the buffet on Sunday. That is totally stupid!
I had 1085 cal. today, I discovered sugarless gum really helps to control the munchies. I never liked chewing gum too much, but it's very helpful to me now.
