I agree I can not wait for spring or even summer weather would be fine at this point. I have been slacking on my outside runs it is much harder to get out in the cold now that princess is over. We are having 30-40 degree weather but it looks like next thur so far it is in the 60's so hopefully it will warm up and then stay there.
I hope everyone has had a good day. I went to the chiropractor after work to be tortured, oh I mean to have my itb rehabbed.It is just excruciating. Then I went to the Y and did 3 miles on the elliptical and lifted weights and did my rehab exercises. Anyhow, sorry I didn't do replies today. I'm feeling a little stressed out about "stuff" but hopefully will be back on track tomorrow.
Oh, and some good news, I think I am going to lower my maintain weight a pound or two this week, so that's kind of exciting.
Have a great evening everyone.
Sorry for the torture you have to go through. I hope it is feeling ok today.
Isnt is horrible that you make such a great life change like quitting smoking and then it leads to weight gain. Its just not right. Good for you for both quitting and for the weight loss. Good luck with the EE challenge.
Even though it wasnt working well I think that is an excellent idea. My kids are 6 and 4 and I am thinking of getting them involved somehow using your idea.
So who do you like the best and who do you think is going home tonight? I love kirstie alley and I think my least favorite is wendy williams.
We have had a strange day here {grumpy DH (bad day), unstocked shelves, and long lines at the grocery store - had to substitute the stuff they were out of! DD ran over my heel with the cart (she was so upset), and when I got out to the vehicle I cracked my head on the "handle to help you pull yourself in" (is that the official name of that piece of equipment?) Anyhow, I tried to buy a Leslie Sansone DVD so I would start exercising, (was excited to start 1st thing tomorrow) but when we got home and put stuff away - the DVD was no where to be found. A call to the store assures us it was left behind, but now my motivation is gone. DD1 opened the cupboard on DD2's face, leaving a nasty red mark on her nose! DH just found out that a shipment he needed by Wed. will not be here until April 18th!}
Anyhow, I was OP today, and it is almost bedtime (whew!) Tomorrow we will laugh about it all! Have a great night everyone!
Dont you just hate days like that. I hope your luck has changed and that today is better.
That is so sad and yes a reminder about reaching out to those in need and telling our love ones how much they mean to us.
I didnt make it on here last night. Just needed a break. I took care of the boys and once they were in bed I hit the couch and watched DWTS. I fell asleep and missed hines ward and made it up to my bed around midnight. I had a weird dream but luckily fell back to sleep and I feel pretty rested today.
I would just love for the weather to warm up around here. It was so cold out this morning. It looks like it will be in the low 50's by the wkend and then a gradually warm up to 60 by next thur. I stalk the weather channel in hopes to see high numbers.
I finalized the plans yesterday for nicks 4th bday party. It started out as just a family party at our house and now we have 10kids and a tumble bus coming for an hour. Its a school bus w/ gym equip inside. There is 2 instructors and they do games and tumbling stuff all inside of the bus. I think it will be fun! It is on 4/9 and I am hoping for a warm day so the parents dont freeze that want to stand outside of the bus.
Our Dr I work for is buying lunch from red robin today. I choose the simply grilled chicken sandwich and melon. I did have quite a good weight gain this week but already lost a lb. Hopefully it was just TOM residual water weight.
oopss almost forgot the QOTD's.
Monday- I love reading and doing TR and this is how I got involved in the Disboards initially.
I did a PTR and TR for our 1st family vacation in 2009 here is the link:
and I am currently doing a princess TR on my weight loss journal. I prefer to journal my races there vs the TR boards because I can look back on my journey.
The link to this one is in my sig.
QOTD-Tuesday
The first time I ever had a trainer was at a gym I belonged to years ago and I was actually fit and thin at that time. I was probably 21 or 22 yrs old. I had my first appt. We did the weights and some weight + cardio. He worked me so hard that I was nauseous and towards the end he wanted me to step up on a stepper and lift the dumbells above my head at the same time. I went to do it and my legs gave out and I collapsed to the floor. (let me mention I am pretty tough and will finish and do anything I am asked) I told him I really didnt feel well and can you believe he made me finish.
I had to have my dad come pick me up from the gym and he had to carry me on his back into the house. I remember laying up on the bathroom floor feeling like I was going to vomit and my mom came in with this huge glass of super sugary ice tea.
I think she thought I had low blood sugar. That part still makes me laugh
Long story short.....I called off of work the next day and it took me about a week to recover. I have never ever met with a trainer since then. Im sure there are better ones out there who will not try to kill you but the memory has just scarred me for life.

Special Congrats to KristiMc!
Just checking in to say hi! I am not going to be able to keep up for the next almost 2 weeks. We leave Thursday and I have so much to do I need to stay off the computer. I don't know how much time I will have when I am gone. The hotels have internet so I will try to at least come by and say hi and let you know if I am being good or have just abandoned my healthy eating completely during my trip. 
now it's just a matter of how much!
We'll see what happens.
Not happy about that but I will be prepared. While Izzie is at dancing, Ash and I will go to the grocery store for a few quick items.
and I really need to get back into it. 
it's been cold and i just don't have the motivation to be cold and run. it's not like i have a race to train for! i had a sitter and everything yesterday. but i sent her and DS to the park and i did the elliptical (we have one in our guest room) for 30 minutes. i've been having some stomach issues anyway to i wanted to be close to the bathroom just in case anyway.
