Wow! Is all I can say for you Cyan. I just start drooling going past McDonald's and you went in, stood in line and left deciding to get something healthy. You go girl. My hero
Lisa, see that weight came off fast. It's a great feeling, really gets you going. Your soreness will go away if you keep it up. Good job. Can I ask what you are studying? But hey, a B on any exam is great. Wow! I can't imagine being a mother, wife and student. Though if I can get my dh through his Master's of Theology (kick his butt through is more like it, it's in English--not his native language so he is kinda scared, it's a correspondence course), then I will get one in counseling since we work with children and teenagers here. Man, are they reallly messed up.
MikiG glad your son is feeling better. This weather is something else. Well, it's cool and really windy here. My almost 6month old now has a stuffy nose--Robitussin to the rescue! My 4year old takes children's vitamins and if someone is sick or he starts sounding sick, I add a vitamin C to his routine. Plus, he drinks water, loves the stuff, won't touch any kind of soda.
Girls, about the Chinese food, I know, it's dangerous. I don't know much to tell you about what to eat and what not. Reina was right though, stick with the steamed veggies and/or soup. Actually though, most Americans wouldn't eat authentic Chinese food. When we go back to the states, it's hard to find a place that serves real Chinese food. It's made to fit the American taste buds. But here too, alot of things are fried. I am trying to get my family into steamed veggies instead of fried. I know I am not much help. I too am learning how to handl the Chinese food. But what I can't understand is if they eat this stuff, how the Chinese can stay so stinkin' thin
Anyway, I have stayed with my exercise. Yesterday walked one mile, I try to do these after I walk: 10situps, 20crunches, 20side crunches (don't know what to call them, works on the waistline) and 25butt lifts, then rest a minute and stretch it out and do it one more time. Every other take I take 3lb. can of soup and work on my arms too. Yes, almost all my weight is in my behind, and them love handles (got lots of lovin to go around!!!) I just heard from my mom that ballerina style exercise is really good for those. I don't know, gotta do something.
Well, I need to get off of here and wash dishes and do some stuff before my class. I teach ESL to 12 4yr-9yr old kids twice a week here at church. Have a great day (since I am writing this while you all are probably in bed!)
