Hi, everyone! I seem to only be managing to come post about once a week. Oh, well - still here and still losing, I guess that's what counts. Congrats to our Top Ten and to all of our losers and maintainers who are hanging in there.
I was reminded to come here today because I pulled a muscle in my back while working out!  So make sure you do your stretches and warm-up, everyone! Right now if I laugh, it feels like I'm being stabbed - my OH had The Daily Show on and I kept going "HahahaOW....hahahaOW". No fun!QOTD Monday: What do you plan on being this year for Halloween? If you're not dressing up, what would you like to be? I haven't dressed up for Halloween since we moved away from our old friends who threw kick-*** Halloween (New Year's, Mardi Gras, etc.) parties. When we eventually get around to taking a Disney trip during an MNSSHP week, I think I'll probably go as a pirate. QOTD: Tuesday: What book are you reading right now? If you aren't reading anything, what would you like to read? I've been in a reading slump since the fall semester started, due to having to read so much for class, but I am a complete book nerd. When I was working and not in school, I'd finish a book roughly every two weeks. My favorites are crazy-long epic fantasy series like Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Legend, Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders, and George RR Martin's Song of Ice and Fire. Those of you who are just now reading Game of Thrones are in for so much more awesome reading! The later couple books do start to get a little convoluted with less forward momentum, but they're still good. Storm of Swords (#3) is my favorite. QOTD WEDNESDAY: What are your plans for the upcoming weekend? Is it a long one for you? I'm jealous of all of you with long weekends! I have two tests this weekend, though I'm hoping to get in enough study time tomorrow to have them both done and out of the way by Friday night. Plans for the weekend include as much of a study break as possible, and hopefully dragging OH to the shooting range (eventual goal is to get our CHLs). .......... All right - back to the books. Have a great Thursday, all! Mike Last edited by STLnative; 10-04-2012 at 12:26 AM. |

Happy Thursday!
Just getting ready to head off to work! myweegirls: Loved hearing you on the podcast! (Liz and her DH Eric were on the podcast about the TOT 10 miler!) Congestion and coughing still hanging on to me! Had a coughing fit at 3 and then not sure I ever really got back to sleep! Last night the Nyquil didn't do its job! 2 clients this morning and then picking up Ash and coming home to get her homework done and then picking up Izzie and getting her homework done and then she has dancing! Think it may be fried chicken tonight for supper with fries. I need something easy! My head feels like it could explode! Guess I need some Motrin before I leave too! Enjoy your THursday! TTFN

Congratulations to all the Big Losers!
This has been a crazy week for us. We live seven hours from WDW so going down just for Thursday - Sunday put us way behind on life and we're still catching up. The 5K was worth it though - especially the Expo. None of us have Columbus Day off but we still have good weekend plans. We're all running another race on Saturday. It's a combined half/10K/5K and I'm doing the 10K. My husband and daughter are doing the 5K. I've run a 10K distance a few times in the last few weeks without stopping (although I'm super slow - 12:30 mm) and I'm hoping to finish even though I know my time won't be that great. If I finish strong, I'm going to register for the Princess Half. Big, huge step for me but at this point in my journey, I need goals other than just weight loss. Have a great Thursday everyone. Kid just left for school (we do late start here once a month) and I have a class to teach in an hour or so. Last class of the week!

Hi everyone! Back from WDW and back to reality - oof. Also a bit under the weather, go figure...
Tracey, thanks for the podcast shout-out! We had so much fun recording it. We're also on the Food & Wine Festival segment and eventually, when they put it up, the Boardwalk review segment. So much fun. QOTD Monday: What do you plan on being this year for Halloween? If you're not dressing up, what would you like to be? I have a RennFest costume - if it's cool enough, I'll probably wear that! DD8 is going as Merida, and my dress is green, so I might get away with Elinor.  QOTD: Tuesday: What book are you reading right now? If you aren't reading anything, what would you like to read? I normally have a book or two in constant rotation, but with the trip I decided to attack my huge backlog of magazines. Oy. I have mostly Real Simples and Vanity Fairs left now...then back to the library list! QOTD WEDNESDAY: What are your plans for the upcoming weekend? Is it a long one for you? My mom is visiting! She gets here Friday afternoon and stays until Monday. DH and I don't have Monday off, but DDs do, so we're sorting that out...I'm singing with our church's houseband on Saturday and need to get to work on those songs... So I ran the ToT 10-Miler! And finished! My time was 1:53:17, which, given how warm and muggy it was, is pretty awesome in my book. This was my first big race, and I had a great time. There were so many people in rough shape, both on the course and afterward, that I think I must have prepped just right with food, water, Powerade, and pacing. Time to get ready for the half marathon in January! XO Liz

QOTD WEDNESDAY: What are your plans for the upcoming weekend? Is it a long one for you?
No days off, but my parents will be visiting. We are celebrating my birthday a few weeks early with a nice dinner on Saturday. We also plan to do some outdoor Fall activities, like visit a pumpkin patch. What is one food that you can't live without? Is it a healthy food or not so healthy food? Dessert! If I have to pick one, I don't know if I can. If I have to pick 2...ice cream and cookies. Obviously not healthy foods.

Second what can't I live without.. I think I'll say breakfast foods, I could eat breakfast 3 times a day and never tire of it -- I have type 2 diabetes and am watching what I eat but man I love to have cereal, toast, muffins, bagels, waffles, pancakes - ok you get it right so during the week I alternate eggs and oatmeal and the weekends are the other stuff..

Evening all! I missed being on here again today! Got called to work and had to say yes. Then a quick errand, home again, food, laundry, dishes, and some weekend planning. And now onto a 4 day weekend! Woohoo!
I am taking each kid away for 2 days and we really don't have any firm plans yet!  but we have a few ideas and I will firm things up for the first two days when DS gets home from his meeting. Hard to have fun on a tight budget, but I gave each kid one big "event" to choose from and then we will also have one low key (i.e. CHEAP ) day. And I will pack food and snacks, both for thrift and health reasons.Off to fold laundry... Got work before I can relax!........P

I had a long post and it went poof!
Sigh. Trying again!!Quote:
Book?? OMG, desperately wish I had time to read right now. I love to read. One of my friends from college writes contemporary romances and one of my guilty pleasures is reading her newest releases. Has anyone out there ever read anything by Kristan Higgins? Quote:
It will be a busy weekend for us. High school football game tomorrow night. DS17 is a senior and is having a fun year. Friday night lights is the best!! We're going to the West Point/Boston College football game on Saturday at West Point. DS is pretty excited about it; one of his football teammates is coming with us. They are both applying to West Point. The "Parade of Cadets" is early (maybe 10?) so we'll have to leave early; we're about 2 hours north of West Point. Our next door neighbors invited us over for drinks and munchies when we get back. Looking forward to a great day of football and an evening of laughs. The only downside is that Saturday is also the Race for the Cure here - so it will be the first time in 6 years that I've missed it. Quote:

 Busy night here. Prepped part of the weekly "Thursday night dinner" for the football players, then out campaigning door to door for 1.5 hours (it gets dark early now!), then to the middle school for open house. I'm beat. Heading to bed. Have a great night everyone!! Jude

Hello all! I am your coach this week. I am Jill and this is my 4th BL challenge. I started last fall and love all the support from these threads. I would like to lose about 7-12 more pounds before DH graduates in January, however, these last few pounds are refusing to budge! Anyhow, I live in western PA with DH, DS9, and DS6. I am a teacher at an alternative education school. I teach History and also special education. My students right now are in 7th-12th grades, but we are licensed for 4th-12th. And yes, we have had students as young as 11. Ok, moving on to the QOTD:
Friday, October 5 QOTD What are your exercise plans for this week? I'll be on to reply after I take the kids to school, go for a run, and go visit my great aunt. Happy Friday! Jill

Hello everyone, another crazy week! Hope you all are doing fabulous!!
I'm down again this week so maybe I'm finally getting back on track. QOTD: Next Sunday is my 2nd half marathon, so probably run 3-4 days and then alternate with some weights or pilates a couple of nights!

Good morning all! So excited that I am down again today .... I think that would put me at around 25lbs from my highest so happy with that. Still not able to do much in lines of working out because my feet are still healing
 the skin has been peeling off leaving tender skin exposed...so frustrating because as I see the weight slowing coming off I become motivated to do more to loose and I am just stuck..I took a 4 day weekend since the kids are off...not much planned its football season so DS plays on both the freshman and JV teams so he has games tonight and Monday and DH refs so he is gone most Friday nights and all day Saturday's May take both my nieces and DD to the mall to just hang out today....just to be out and doing something We are starting our own pseudo WW group in our office this week to challenge each other so hopefully that will help as well to keep me motivated. Have a great weekend all!!

no loss for me this week! What a bummer. My legs are looking nice and toned, tummy is tighter, scale hates me! lol Oh well! I know that I was good and this is just my body "doing it's thing" and hopefully it will eventually catch up.
Off to the gym for a workout and then a run. Hope you all have a great Friday! K
