Oh and Lisa - if you are dreaming about my biking adventure, can I at least be a size 6 in your dream???
I met with a personal trainer for an assessment and
he has me all excited.
On the first - done.

But you're a cutie right now.
On the second - so much to say but I have my mind in such sneaky places.

So funny.
Oh yes I have been a Fins fan since before I met Stephen and Thank god He is a Fins fan too! MY friend who's house we were at tonight is also one so IT was great to see them get to the playoffs since they were 1-15 last year! I so thought that she was crashed and she is now texting me!
Sorry Paula for the Jets. But with Pennington it's kind of a nice feeling? No, I guess not, eh?

Sorry.
Yeah for you though Steph.
So in addition to the 30 day shred, bruce also got me Jillian Michaels 2009 fitness ultimatum for Wii. And i have Wii fit on backorder, for those nasty snowy days when i can't/won't leave the house, it's better than being a couch potato!
Let me know how it goes Stacey.

me too! At the minute I think peer pressure would do me the world of good!

So true Kelly.
and (2) stop being such a hot mess all the time!
!

Just loved that line. You do have quite the busy life. Nice.
Long story short, I was going to do the Goofy challenge on the 10th of this month but all of the sudden my world kind of fell apart on me. Briefly, my DH told me I was too old to run that far. My MIL who is 67 and still a runner let me down and did not back me up this time. Needless to say, I felt a little abandoned. I stopped running. It makes me teary eyed just to say it. I have not run except for maybe a handful of times since November first. I am up 7 pounds from where I wanted to lose 5 and I sunk into a state of depression over the holidays where I did not even enjoy that. So, sign me up. I need some help. The team challenge is over on the events side and I am foundering at sea.

Sighing Lisa. That paragraph really hit me hard. I don't know you well - but from your posts I do know how much running means to your life. I'm so sorry.
But the paragraph also made me smile. Because I love when others, and me too - if I can be so self absorbed

, face the sh!t head on. It's so strong Lisa to feel the disappointment and the low times and come right here - so soon after. So I sighed and then I smiled. Good for you.
I *was* going to have to say "MARCO"....but I see she has reappeared
Oh Nancy.
I'm here... no time to read or post! My parent's network doesn't like me much. Just adding this so it shows up on my phone list and I can read it later.
Hi Kat!
Spirits higher, seems like maybe he got some thinking in and it did him some good.
So, I mentioned friend but not friends...well, my friend who found out she was pregnant, Jodi, had major bleeding and cramping yesterday. She spent the day on the couch, and later, for dinner, she sent her husband over with food. He and I talked a lot, which was good. He was so concerned about her. I kept telling him to just wait, go to the doctor today, and then deal as need be. So here's the deal. Ready?
She's still pregnant. There is a viable baby with a heartbeat. And an empty sac above the baby. So, there were twins and she miscarried one. It's still very risky because the sac is above, not below the viable baby. But, a miracle. Seriously. The JOY in her voice almost made me sob today, as she told me, on the way to get some blood tests.
So, please please, keep your fingers crossed for her. This means so much to her. It does to all of us, right, but the timing and her age and how long she's waited - I just want this to work out for her.
Glad to hear your BIL had a better day Liz.
And big

for you and your friend. I can imagine it's hard to think about all the ins and outs of a tough pregnancy. Good thoughts.
Hopefullly this thread is ok for others to join.....I will post shortly when my crazy family holiday wedding weekend ends soon....
Hi zurgswife!
Lisa
OMG, I leave you all alone for a day and look what happens!!!

Love it when I come back to lots of posts to read.
I know, eh? Unreal. Nice.
Okay,
Challenge. I'm undecided about getting back on the scale. I said months and it will be only three weeks soon.

I don't know. My exercise is fine. But my eating has hardly been conscious. And to be honest it feels gross to eat too much. So I'm torn. Will make a decision soon.
As for my goals for this month -
1) To get back to conscious eating.
2) To lose 5 pounds - if on the scale
3) To continue my six day/two off schedule unless I'm on heavy intervals.
4) To be less and less of a perfectionist and easier on myself.
Boy, I'm am so going to miss my gym here. In my condo. I shoiuld find a way to take pics for you. It's on the roof. All glass. 17th floor. City and lake view. Really peaceful to workout in. Sad.

Sad too because there are no time rules which makes on/off intervals a breeze with machines/free weights etc. Oh well. Life. It goes on.
