Jess:
Whoo, kudos on those push-ups!
It was after an intense workout that had already killed my arms to the point of actually failing on the last set, but... my own attempts at 4 sets of pushups the other day were laughably tragic. And those were on my knees. You're my hero right now.
And I could never do a cartwheel.
I think it was partially just getting up the nerve to do something that might result in my hurting myself, lol. So I'm jealous of the little kid you who could do them, when I've NEVER been able to. Jazz:
Good luck on the bikini bod thing! I hate when you feel like you've been trapped in a 10-lb zone forever. But even when I've dropped down to a decently low weight (number wise), I've never felt quite toned enough to rock the bikini well..
I'm with ya on the end-of-summer bikini goal tho!
Taylor:
Woo, 10! Wayta go lady!
Also, I hate when places rock the opposite of vanity sizing. Where a 16 is a surprisingly small size that would be a 12 anywhere else. I once went shopping with a girlfriend looking for tanktops that were long enough to suit the "style" she was going for. She's small, but has big boobs, and so we were looking for larges. In one of the places we went into, a snooty sales girl informed me, "We don't carry large sizes," with an air of self-importance when I could find anything but xxs, s, and m....!
Have fun on your hike and fishing!
Chele:
Yay for summer vacation!!!
End of school? Are you in high school still, or college? College up here ended back in April. 
Either way, I adoooore the beginning of summer vacation. Going home in the evening and not having to worry about homework is a lovely lovely feeling....!
Feral:
Good luck on the post-TOM woosh! I'm hoping for the post-sore-muscle-induced-water-retention-woosh....
That's a whole lotta dogs too, lady, good luck!
...Jack Russel Chihuahua... iiiinteresting.... As for me...
I'm in a decent amount of physical pain this morning.
My coworker/defacto personal trainer when we go to the gym together is having us attack one muscle group at a time every time we go to the gym. I feel GREAT about myself for getting the workouts in, but the pain is starting to overlap: I still can't pull back my arms to put on my jacket without wincing since our chest workout on Monday, and now after our legs workout last night, the half-squat position as I go to sit in a chair has become exceedingly painful. I must be SO out of shape that my muscles are dying so badly, lol.
I'm determined, however, to start seeing the scale going in the other direction. I know I'm retaining water over the sore muscles, but... I was 150.4 today, and it made me pretty sad to see myself out of the 140s and back into the 150s.
