I ordered myself a gazelle from walmart.com... cool they deliver it right to your house!!!

hey gals,
TGIF!! last night I went to kickboxing class and it was so much fun. I was the kickboxing champ a few years back, I went to everyclass, and worked my butt off. I hope I can get it back into my schedule like that, its a fun way to work out. Right now I have scheduling conflicts on both the nights it is offerend but I'm going to try and remedy that well at least on of the nights so I can go.
Any way, doing well with my food. I got my period so I'm trying hard not to worry about a gain because I know I'm reataining water. I shouldn't even step on the scale but its easier said than done for me.
Hope everyone has a good friday!

Turtle-should I take your comment about doctors personally?

Nope
 

Nope, Petra. I was careful to say the local ones. :^:

And if you knew what they've done to and drug me through in the past, you'd undertstand my apprehension. :^:

Hello oo oo oo (echo... get it? no one's here)
 

Wow, no one has posted since I did, yesterday? Week ends are a bit slow on 3FC, I take it. I had a really bad night and was awakened by a horrible pain in my sternum and rib cage which moved into the right side of my belly, making it tender to touch. I thought I was having a heart attack or an appendicitis. Hot, flushed and having trouble breathing, I thought about calling 911, but I called my BIL who is an EMT. Later in the morning, (after an attempt to "sleep it off") I called them back and said come get me and take me to the ER. I fell asleep waiting on them and when my nephew woke me up, the pain was completely gone. It's a longer story than that, but I didn't want to fill your Saturday up with my whining, ramblings and mutterings. But I thanked them for coming and said if it came back, I'd call. But I went back to sleep and slept until noon. Now I'm watching my Mountaineers playing Rutgers in New Jersey. It's raining there too. We're winning so far. And no pain or problems. I have NO idea what that was.

Petra, I sure hope you didn't take my slam at doctors to heart or personally. Remember, this is West Virginia we're talking about. And given my track record with doctors (starting in the 70's with the "experimental" things they did to my Dear Mother) you'd understand my apprehension. I know you would. Besides, I'm quite sure you're an excellent doctor. I can tell from the things you say AGAINST the system and the way you care. I only wish I could have a doctor as real and HUMAN as you.

Everyone else? I hope you're having a great week end. I'm so glad I'm back.

Turtle : sounds like a gall bladder attack to me .. but then im not a dr.. lol i just pay the claims!

Well i got up this morning and since we are going to have rain all weekend.. decided that i would start a massive clean up around here... but first i had to go workout... and i surely couldnt clean with out cleaning supplies... lol now its 230 and i have yet to start cleaning but..

i have all my supplies! what a procrastinator.... the entire house looks like a tornado went thru! so i guess i better try to get a few things done..

Nope
 

Nope, I'd say gallbladder too, but they supposedly removed my (perfectly healthy) gallbladder during my weight loss surgery to prevent it going bad with my rapid weight loss. Rapid weight loss? Uhhhh hello? Knowing NOW how that surgery went, I wouldn't be surprised to find that I STILL had one. :lol:

What ever it was, this attack of sorts, is gone now and I feel fine. A bit shaken and worried it'll come back, but fine. Oh and Curly, thanks for that link.

I'll check back in later today. :grouphug:
My Mountaineers won! :bravo: :hat:

Hey Gals,
Nice Saturday here, cold and raining. Luckily I went out this morning for my jog before it got so yuckie.
I feel like all I have done today is run errands. I guess that is what the weekend is for. Tomorrow is my WI, I'm nervous because I started core this week, and I got my period on Thursday. I've taken some pampren which helps somewhat with the bloat and water weight but I just hope I havn't gained. I dont' think I can take another week of gaining.
I'll check in tomorrow. Have a good weekend PIC chicks.
Jennie

Here's lookin' at you, kid
 

Pooh Bear will be here shortly and I need to sign off to go shower. I hope you're all enjoying your week end. Boy, this place is a ghost town on the week ends. :^:

Maybe come Monday, we could have a role call? I miss everybody. :yes:

hi purple rose welcome to the Pic's!

Helllooooo there ......I'm back!!!
 

Hello PIC's !!!! How is everyone doing? I had over 3.5 pages to get caught up on since I've been away on vacation. Our trip to Colorado was fantastic!! Every day we were out and about trying new things and viewing the spectacular mountains. OMG...breath taking!!! We stood on top of the Independence Pass (elevation 12,095 ft) and were just awe struck. Dh got up early...real early (6 am everyday) and took off on mountain trails to take pictures. He came back with such fantastic pictures, they should be post cards. He managed to hike up McClure pass and take photo's of 6 mountain goats that were only 40 ft away!!! A pretty rare sighting since there are only about 100 of them around the mountain range. The mountains were a complete surprize to me, so magestic and gorgeous. If you ever get a chance to see them, you really need to. We stayed in a small town 3 hrs west of Denver called Glenwood Springs. They have the only natural vapour caves in NOrth America. The temp in about 120 F and let me tell you, after a few minutes in the caves you are sweating BIG TIME!!! The lodge that we stayed in also had 2 hot springs pools. FABULOUS!!! We swam everyday, or better yet,....lounged around in. The boys swam!!!....I lounged in the giant hot tub pool. Food was a little challenging, but afterawhile to make things easier, I ordered the salad and grilled chicken breast. I endulged a little, a beautiful orgasmic dinner of portobello raviolli with a garlic alfredo sauce....**sigh** and another time with a blueberry cheesecake that I shared with dh. Other than that, I was pretty much OP most of the time. Glad to be back though.....4 loads of laundry later and a 15 hour drive home!!!!


uh sorry.....hi purple rose!!! so nice to meet you :wave:

Hi Ladies,

How is everyone doing? Well, I hope :). Seems like it's been a long week LOL. Been just working, and drinking water and doing my little video walk. It's great for me since it doesn't take too long, and I don't have to worry about the cars flying by and running me off the road- hehehe. I'd recommend this video to anyone starting out. I wouldn't recommend my D-(as in damn dumb)hubby .... who feels he HAS to have a cigarette while I'm in the middle of my 2 mile walk... grrrrrrrrrrrr. Of course I am the one who set up my video in the only room he smokes in soooooo i dunno who is more stubborn in this case lol.
I've been pushing the water, and eating right for the most part this week. Today at work was a snackie kind of day..... but not near as much (or as unhealthy) as I would have in the past so I guess I feel ok about it- I didn't binge. I don't know when I'll be officially weighing in again, but my scale here at home shows a couple lbs loss still so I'm happy about that! I should stop at the dr on Tues. as that would be a week since my last weight.

Turtle~ I sure hope you're doing better! That sounds like it was pretty scarey.

Curley~ How long did they say til you get your Gazelle? Those look like they would be fun to use. I'm sure you'll keep us all posted how it goes.

Angel eyes~ Sounds like a fantastic trip!!! Will you be posting any of the pics on a website? My In-laws are in CO. I've never been there though most all the pics I've seen are beautiful. Welcome back!

PurpleRose~ Welcome Here! I hope you find this a comfortable and friendly group as I did. This whole site rocks! So many great tips and support....

Heya Jennie and Petra! :wave:

Good evening
 

Hi PIC's. Welcome Purplerose. I was born in 1964, 'twas a good year :dizzy: Good luck on your journey and you'll LOVE it here. ;)

Pooh Bear and I ran around today, ate at Shoney's (had the grilled chicken salad with ff dressing). Went to Walmart and I bought the Leslie Sansone Walk & Kick. I hope my knee heals soon and I can get back to exercising full on. I guess it's no use to whine about it, the "Exercise ****" is coming in the morning to work out, whether I'm ready for it or not. I also bought four new work out videos last week at Goodwill. A TaeBo sampler (I think I'll like that one), a power Yoga one that may be too hard, a Body Shaping work out that I haven't got to see yet because my sister borrowed it before I got to see it and a total body work out that has a slide, a step and stretchy cords (you can improvise to not use the equipment). Good deal I'd say for only .99 a piece. And now I have this new WATP Walk & Kick one to try. No excuses. Looks like da Turtle is back. I reek of of Wintergreen because Pooh Bear coated me up with muscle rub for my knee. Wow, it's tingling! I think I may go back to TOPS tomorrow, just for the accountability and offical weigh in. Go Turtle Go. Good luck to everyone here. I hope you enjoyed your week ends.
