Quick post, as I need to get sleep. Good day overall. Way to go Elaine and Seawave. Red, glad you held off.

Morning all. I need positive vibes, a good kick in the arse, or just some perspective. It is "that time of the month." I hate using that as an excuse. but I woke up cramping, crabby, and craving. Grrrrr I don't wanna - work out, eat right, have the personality of anything other than a just woke up grizzly. HELP Add to that, school starting Thursday is already making me feel pressed for time. I have to get it together, or I could lose all the healthy changes I have made.

Everyone else, ahve a better day than the bear (that's ME : ).

redballoon - No, no swimming yet. Stitches are still healing, and I start radiation therapy in September. I want to start aqua fitness after that.

jollygirl - consider yourself kicked! When it was my TOM, I used to find drinking something warm (tea, coffee, whatever) helped a lot with the cramps. Hang in there!

Thanks for the kicks all. Made it through the day ok, with no bodies strewn along the wayside. Even managed to convince myself a granny smith apple tasted JUST LIKE chocolate!!! OK. Not really, but I didn't cave in to cravings.

Have a good night all

Good morning all. Wishing everyone a good day. Most of my attitude from yesterday is gone, thank goodness. Though the cramps are still here, lord love them.

Just posting quick now, as I may not have time tonight. Late work function, and earlier than usual morning tomorrow with school starting. Time to get back in the groove. I did take a few extra moments this morning to get a wii workout in after breakfast, so still on track with workouts for the day. Just need to meet my food challenges.

See y'all later

Calling it a day early..plan on hitting the sack a bit early.

Good morning jolly! Of course, the attitude is gone. It daren't hang around when I give a kick-A!! Learned it from my father...ouch!
Hurrah for the chocolate-flavored granny smith! you could become a billionaire with that formula! Best of luck today!

Sending positive vibes to everyone for today, and !

redballon, you were talking about your successful mind games on Aug 23rd, and yesterday jollygirl had chocolate-tasting granny smiths! I'm not worthy! (Mind you, I like the taste of granny smith apples, so I guess I don't need jollygirl's formula for *that* particular issue. Hey jolly, anything to make oatmeal taste like chocolate???)

Well, off to bed for a short night sleep, then up early because of classes starting tomorrow. Yikes I can not wait for the day I am at the point I feel comfortable only working out 5 days a week, so I don't lose extra sleep on school nights. There's a goal!

Have a good one all.

Sitting here waiting for my first class to start. Feel a little lost in my new school building. Should've left a trail of bread crumbs, I think. Good to be back though.

Stayed on track today. Should meet all my goals, unless I go crazy for fried foods later. hope everyone is having a good day
