Well I found out why I've been so tired the past couple of days...I'm pregnant!! I'm really excited! A little nervous because in the past year I've had 2 miscarriages, but they were supposedly just really bad luck, so I'm trying to be optimistic
I'm over the moon happy right now
Please keep checking in and let us know how you are doing!!!!! Sooo happy for you!
Congratulations Greenfield1984!!!! Wonderful news!
By opening the new account I got an additional 20% off! SO I ended up with 5 pairs of shorts and 1 skort, size 8, except for 1 size 10 for those days I feel heavier for $59.90! It would've cost me over $93 had I not used my card. I was psyched. DH said that was better than the 1 point we'd get from Disney if I had used my Visa! SO now I am set for shorts for the summer!!!!! They even have belts!!!!! The girl at the registers name was....Crystal! How awesome was that?! 2 Crystals in one day!!!!!
Then I went to Target and bought 3 sleeveless tops for $7 each!!!! What an awesome day!!!!!
Just got home from a last minute client. Not sure how my weight will be It's raining and chilly out. No walk tomorrow morning but hoping we can go Friday morning and hopefully see the swans again!
Awesome shopiing trip!!!!!!
Hi All! I would like to sign up to be a "loser". My goal is to lose 15 pounds in the next 8 weeks! I don't actually have a scale in the house but will PM my weight by Friday! What else do I need to do? I saw the challenge that ends6/10....is there another one starting up soon??
As Tracey said, we don't end until sometime in August. Just stopping in to WELCOME YOU!!!!!
Today wasn't a bad day, but I'm glad to say goodbye to it, and I'm looking forward to a new day tomorrow.
I had one of those, too!
to you!
I've been overwhelmed lately with end of school year stuff and race stuff and....I hate to say it, but creeping gloom. I feel....so lazy compared to many of the hardcore folks on here, but I've taken a few days off because I think (and I don't know how this happened) I may have ended up slightly overtrained. All I can think is too much racing this spring, because it hasn't been that I've been doing too many miles. I've been sleeping more and pushing the envelope less the past few days.
Here's a fun thing - I ended up featured in the recap video for the Minneapolis Marathon. I rounded this corner and there was Jen of Priorfatgirl.com with her sign and I had met her at a previous race, so I ran up and gave her a big hug - sweat and all, poor girl! Apparently it was different enough to make the recap reel at @ 2:17:

That's very cool Corinna!!!! As for the overtraining, I think I am suffering a bit from running too much in the torch run Monday. I know practical advice says to increase by 10%, but I ended up running 7.5 miles and my previous longest was 5.5. Yesterday I was tired, and not at all hungry. Today, I am starving, and just blah! I wonder if it is lactic acid buildup or something?
I was all ready to go out to lunch with a friend. Knew where we were going. Knew what I was going to order. All set.
But the rain just started pouring down and wasn't gonna let up. Total bummer.
The weather seems to be affecting all kinds of things! Sorry you missed out!
After hearing you guys talk about sparkpeople in the week leading up to the challenge, I checked it out. I really like the site, and have been diligently tracking my food, water and exercise. My goals are the 1200-1400 hundred calorie range, but I think I actually need to stay closer to the higher end, with the amount of exercise I am doing (was at 40 minutes daily last week, increased to 60 minutes daily this week). The scale isn't budging, and as hard as it is for me to fathom, I don't think I am eating enough. I have read a few articles in the past week that tell me I am not consuming enough calories, but I am having a REALLY hard time wrapping my head around that thought. Does this sound right to you guys? Do I really need to eat MORE to LOSE???
If you find out the answer, let me know, I am working on this a bit myself!
Go to spark people and put in your daily exercise goals and see how many calories it says you need. When I went up to 60m 5 days a week it increased my calorie range. We talked about this a lot last time, and I think a lot of people will agree that if you are exercising a lot you need to make sure you getting enough food. I know I'm not eating enough this week and between that and pms my weight has stalled.
I wonder if I need to up mine consistently. I try really hard to stick as close to 1200 as possible, but a few days I go over!
If you have iPhone or iTouch, check the App Store for "Restaurant Nutrition". It's a free app that has nutrition info for multiple restaurants and fast food joints. It may not be new, but I just found it a little while ago, so I wanted to share.
I need to check that out!
I so feel your pain, my babies 21 & 24 are grown and gone right now. I am missing them and feeling sorry for myself!! I am just glad I am not grazing my way throught he kitchen!! You guys are keeping me from it, so thank you!!
I'm going out to eat tomorrow night....the night before we weigh in! And my weight was up a half pound already. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! I do think I'm retaining but still!
Well, there are 2 more months of weigh ins to make up for it!
Sorry if this is TMI but since taryn was talking about having gas I figure anything is game.
A girl eats too many beans the night before a big run, panics, and suddenly I've set a precedence for various conversations. Sheez.
And thanks for getting me on that post. My humor apparently doesn't translate well on the boards... Sorry to anyone that misunderstood, I was poking fun at myself and my absurdities.
I got it. I worried about posting my
, but I could go back and read it again and
all over again!
I either have allergies or a cold coming on, it's hard to tell in the air conditioning at my office.
Hope you feel better tomorrow!
Okay everyone, this has been a depressing place today. I've been trying not to add to it. The weather is dreary in lots of places, plans are not working out, emotional and depressed, feeling blah? Yeah, that's me, too.
Tomorrow is a new day everyone. Put this one to bed, and just let it go. As you are falling asleep, think about all the things that make you happy.
BTW, a new baby on the way and a great shopping trip helped to keep spirits up.
Thanks for sharing Greenfield and Tracey!
Night everyone!
Taryn
It's very possible I'm over-reacting.
Can you believe it. I also haven't run in 2 days because my knee has been acting up (2 surgeries 2 years ago)...it's ususally fine.....I feel so frustrated.
I feel much better now
Congratulations and best wishes for a healthy and uneventful pregnancy!!
