Good morning ladies,

Cat, my incredimail was messed up too; kept telling me my provider was rejecting it... they said it was fine on their end, so I ran my adaware and virus programs, a thorough cleansing and now it works fine... those darn bugs crawl in from no where :( .

I am getting frustrated... I have been going to curves faithfully now since Oct. and I have lost quite a few inches all around. But my weight just stays stagnant, I go down some and then up again.. I am being very good about my eating, but it just don't seem to make a difference.. then being sick for 2 days I lost 5 pounds water weight, of which I've gained back 2, just what do I have to do to get that scale to fall down more drastically? I am working full time again, bending, lifting, walking moving alot, pllus still going to curves, I just don't know what more I can do short of just not eating at all. But then sure I'd be skin and bones,, but I don't want to be a cadaver. :dizzy:

Another thing frustrating me is these stupid pop up ads.. I have two count them 2 pop up ad zappers on my computer and I still get pop ups.... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Other wise am doing well. Hubby is recovering from the flu now and son, so hopefully its run its course around here.. hubby just called me to tell me he just saw two robins courting in the front yard of work, so spring must be in the air. Yippeee......

Nothing else of any interest going on.. so now that I have vented my frustrations I can go off to another day at the grind stone... I figure I will complete my enrollment at curves and give it the year, I guess if nothing changes then I have to make mental changes and accept me as I am....and just be happy.

Have a good day all,
Dahlia

Morning Ladies,

Dahlia, i would'nt worry about the pounds at all if i was losing inches ;) as long as it gets you in a smaller size why worry? :shrug: we all know that 2 people can weigh the same but look very different if one is toned and the other flab :lol: just keep plugging away at curves..i would :) as for the pop-ups i never see any so i would try another program if i were you..i use PopUp Killer ;)

Got on my scale this morning and :nono: OMG (Macauley Culkin face here) i've got to get OP and sort this out :( still to unpack and get this house in order but at least we have something to eat now and i have'nt bought any junk :cp: intend to keep it that way too.

Good Morning!

I went to the gym and lifted for the first time in a few years. I also did 10 minutes of cardio. When I got home I did another 20 minutes on my mini trampoline. This morning I did 20 minutes on the trampoline, and am going to try and fit in another 20 today sometime.

Cat, good luck unpacking! Dahlia - can you mix up your routine even more? That might be a good way to bust those pounds off. Don't worry - 2 pounds will be easy to lose - it isn't 10!

Hope you all have a good day!

Meg

Hello Ladies,

I finally broke down and bought a scale. Looks like my starting point is 195. Hmmm... *sigh* So, my current goal is 185. Yay, doesn't seem so daunting. I can do 10lbs right? Yeah. Of course I can. :?: I'd better exercise today. I'd been wanted to start running again for a while now. I guess I could start today. But I HATE it when my CD player skips. I bought it specifically because it was advertised for "joggers." The damn thing isn't supposed to skip! :( But that's no excuse not to get out there. The weather isn't crappy, so I guess I have no excuse at all.

I also had issues with my email. It didn't shut down, but i got a ton of useless mail with attachments. I was deleting email for two days straight.

Dahlia, don't worry about the pounds. If you're losing inches, but not pounds, it may be that you are losing fat but gaining muscle. And that muscle is just gonna burn more fat. So, yipee for Dahlia!

Cat: I hope you can stay OP and not buy junk food. Why does stuff that that's so bad for ya taste so good?

Meg: Keep up the gym thing. I tend not to go because there are so many thin college students there (Archbold Gym ;) ) and I feel so upstaged. But it sounds like you are doing well with exercise in general. Good for you!

*edited to show my favorite smiley :tread:

Shayla,
The emails that i've been getting pertaining to be from admin, support, staff @ my addy were the scam!! that is the virus :( it comes in the form of a letter telling you i.e. that there have been reports of spam coming from your email addy and that it will be terminated in 3 days unless you re-sign by opening the attached file using the password in the form of a number that comes with it :yikes: so i thought OK i'll just let that email addy die because hey i've got others but today i discovered that yesterday when i tried to sign in at my website to see if it was true i'd used the wrong password so believed the emails to be legit when in fact they are not :spin: so today i found my correct password, signed in and my account is still up and running :crazy: and was full of those :censored: emails..so i've deleted the lot. I don't ever intend to open another email again unless its from someone i know :lol:

Ok ladies,
Where is everyone? The thread fell off my screen, so I thought I'd better say something to keep it going.

Spent the day with my granddaughter yesterday, we had a blast. Cathy, how was your trip?

Shayla who is the man in the picture? Anyone you know? :lol:

Not much to say, we are getting more snow again...hope it don't stay for long. Got spoiled with the nice weather this last two weeks. Have to skip curves tomorrow as I have to go to a funeral out of town. One of my sister in laws died. She was 76. Yes I have old siblings,,,, it's a long story.

Well, hope someone posts soon. :coffee: have some coffee.... catch ya all
tomorrow.

Dahlia

Hello Ladies!

Shayla - Archibold. Wow! That brings back the memories. Have you ever been down to Syracuse Stage? I lived across the street my jr. and sr. year. I can't remember the name of my dorm. Are you in a house? I was a KKG.

Cat, glad you had a great trip! Dahlia, sorry to hear about your SIL.

I have been sick with the flu for the last few days. I even got a flu shot this year. This is the first flu that I have had since 1993. I had 101 degree fever. That is high for me - I never get sick.

Anyway, I should be back on track tomorrow. Haven't worked out since my last post. Kind of upset about that. I need to be more committed - but I don't think you are supposed to work out when you are sick.

talk to you soon!

Meg

Shayla - Delplane? Delplaine? Is that the name of a dorm? If so - that is where I spent freshman year. What about you?

Good Morning Ladies,

Walked another 2mls yesterday :cp: side of left foot is hurting me tho' almost feels like a sprain :rolleyes: keeps coming and going..hope it does'nt keep me off the treadmill.
Ate a little too much yesterday mainly due to the fact that i did'nt want to throw some Pizza out so ate it instead :lol: but i made that my dinner and did'nt have the roast beef that i was going to.

Hey T, got your email now where are you? ;)

Cat - great job walking yesterday!!! Hope your foot is feeling better. Don't want that to turn into a long term injury.

Feeling better. Taught the rest of the dream ballet to my kids yesterday. It was a 2.5 hr rehearsal, and I was exhausted. The flu really takes it out of you. Today I work and then have to go shopping for knitting supplies - I am teaching knitting starting tomorrow. I think I will hop on the rebounder tonight to get in some cardio. I know you aren't supposed to excercise when you are sick, but I feel pretty good.

The good news about being sick? A 1.5 pound loss. I don't think it will last, so I am not counting on it. Hope you all are enjoying your coffee!

Meg

Hi Ladies,

Meg, Well Done with the weightloss :D Think i've got the flu as well :( thought it was allergies but my head is splitting, hot and cold sweats and runny nose and the meds don't seem to help, i might nip out for some hot lemon cold remedy later.

Darn Foot is still hurting but i'm not going to let it stop me :strong: i walked 3mls this morning (before i came online ;) ) and i've just had blueberry pancakes for brekky :T not 10am yet so this is a good start to the day :) and a lovely day it is too, i might even get my bike out later and go for a ride.

Cat - good job with the exercise. Hope your foot feels better! I gained the pounds back. I think I was really dehydrated. Anyway...today I taught my knitting class for the first time. It was great - they all seemed to like it and I had 2 others that are joining next week. I will have a total of 6 then.

Has anyone read Dr. Phil's book? I am thinking of getting it. I am looking for thoughts before I commit to the purchase.

Well, have to get ready for Children's Theatre! Bye!
Meg

Hi Meg, don't know where everyone else is :dunno: glad the knitting class went well :)

Foot is still no better but thats to be expected if i won't give it a rest :lol: i walked another 3mls this morning..makes 13 since Sunday :cp: just getting ready to do some mall walking too :rolleyes: not doing too badly with the food intake although i know i could do better :rolleyes: weigh-in tomorrow and i'm hoping to post some good news ;)
