Hello everyone,
My life has been crazy and my weight is up. I am so frustrated! I have been exercising daily for 60 to 90 minutes. I have been doing a lot of cardio to get ready for the race season. This is my lunch, but a student needs me gotta go! di |

Tando- I never stopped calorie counting. I just stopped posting weights and caloric intakes on here. I knew my weights were good, I just want to stay on here for motivation and so I don't fall off the wagon. Which I easily do.
Ohio- I didn't get a haircut. I got a perm awhile back and I hate it, I wish it were just straight again. It is a very loose curl, but it is a pain to style and I was happy with the natural stuff I guess. I had gotten use to it. Well I have had an 1800+ day today. Pigged out on Reese Puff cereal first thing this am 4 bowls equals like 600 calories-ugh! I usually eat yogurt or oatmeal. That was not a good start. Then I just had Harvest wheat pizza and dove chocolates for bedtime snack....this is a bad day...sometimes I need them. Well hoping tomorrow is better. We have tons of snow, it fell all day. That is probably part of why I wanted to eat all day... the weather does have that affect on me. I was cold all day. I suppose I was looking for comfort foods. Well hope everyone is warm and well...think positive. I have all A's so far at midterm...Yea! Take Care! |

Hello everyone,
I just got back from the gym. I did a 60min spinning class and a 30 min core class. My calories have been within 1500 and I have been exercising 60-90 per day six days a week. The scale is still not moving. I do feel fantastic though. My skin looks great and I have tons of energy. I guess I will focus on that for now. I even overheard a friend of my husband's say 'Jack's wife has a killer body'. I will take that over a few pounds down on the scale! cc: I love Reese's puffs too! I don't get to eat much because my son finishes the box in two mornings. Congrats on the A's. It is very cold here this morning. When I left for the gym, it was 11 degrees with a windchill of 2. Tando: I think men just don't notice things like hairstyles. I think that is kind of good in a way. If there is a day when I don't feel like fussing with my appearance, my husband doesn't really seem to notice. Well, stay warm and have a great day. di |

Di- that must must have been so flattering when your friend's husband said that! Go you! Yea, me and these Reese's Puffs lately can't seem to stay apart...
My cal intake has been up and scale is slowly moving up, time for me to take it a notch back. For some odd reason my appetite is up. Must be the cold weather is all I can figure. The temps here are about 11 degrees and it is friggin' cold. I don't even want to go out side. Right now I am stuck in with a temp. Yesterday I had a temp of 103 and didn't even know it except for chills and aches. Now I am not going to my class because fever is not gone. Dau is home from school becuz of MLK day. But I don't really feel bad, just tired. I don't even feel like I should stay home except for the temp. I called my mom and she said I shouldn't go becuz i don't want to spread what ever it is, but I don't feel bad! I have a 5pm class too, that I only have 1x a week. I hate to miss it, but I imagine I am going to since my mom is the one who watches my dau. My temp when I got up was about 102. When I take advil it goes down. My body is very sore though. My joints in places like my shoulder hurt. I was sneezing yesterday and had a runny nose for a little bit. It's weird, I slept a lot so I figure that must of helped. I hope this fever breaks soon. Well that's about it from here. I am frustrated because I don't have time to be sick! My house is a mess and I don't feel like cleaning it...I don't feel like exercising...and I feel like a slug! I have gotta watch what I put in my mouth today too, I just bought all those "skinny" jeans, I don't wanna have to box them up yet! |

Good morning everyone!
I have off today for MLK day and I love it. I went to the gym this morning and did a 60 minute BodyStep class and then a 60 minute strength training class. In the strength class, the owner of the club was the instructor. It made me realize how much I really can push myself and improve my muscle tone. I am probably going to be sore tomorrow. cc: I am sorry to hear you are sick. Rest, fluids and Advil sound like a good plan. I would give the fever about 3 days to take care of itself and if it doesn't, it is probably worth giving your physician a call. ohio: I think I might be on a plateau. I may just have to work on fitness level and not worry about the scale until I break through. It is freezing in PA also. We were really feeling spoiled for awhile, but now I think winter is here to stay. I want to get outside and run, but I usually like it to be above 32 degrees F. Well, gotta go! di |

Hey ladies, I'm still here, it's just hard to get to the computer sometimes to read and post. I always feel rewarded when I do take the time to sign in and read everyone's posts. Cc: I hope you decided to rest and hope you are feeling better. Congrats on the A's, that is awesome. Thanks for posting your weight-loss stradegy. Tando: I'm sure the haircut is cute and as long as you like it that is all that really matters. Ohio: Good luck with the job hunting. I hope you find something that you really look forward to going to everyday. Dievans: Remember last year when were in the height of the race season? We both hit a plateau-- I really think when you up your exercise your body holds onto the weight at first, or the exchange of fat for muscle keeps us at the same weight for a while. What your husband's friend said was nice, but don't you wonder why he was looking? :-) I can relate to the skin thing-- I look at my pictures from Santa Fe and my face looked so much smaller and clearer. It must have been from the healthy eating and the exercise. I got on the scale the other day and I almost passed out too. It was higher than it has been in a long time. Ouch!! The only thing I could figure was that my husband and I cut out caffine and since it is a diuretic, I was holding onto a ton of water. Since then it has come down some, but it was a wake up call. My skinnny jeans are fitting tighter and tighter. I haven't been exercising as much as I used to. I don't have any goals right now for this year. I need to get one soon or I will blow up and float away. This is an SOS!! My body has been doing weird things since October. That is why I stopped posting for so long. I was in survival mode. First, I started having night-time panic/heart racing attacks. I was sent to a cardiologist and for an MRI. My heart is fine and they saw nothing in my head. Not sure if that means I don't have a brain. My doctor prescribed beta-blockers for when I wake up with an attack. I didn't take them because when I wake up with an attack, my blood pressure goes down very low and my heart rate goes up. I have since learned to manage the attacks. I think it is horomonal. I've been reading a book about Perimenopause and it described my symptoms to a tee. This week I bloated up like I was going to start my period but I am late. Sometimes I miss them... Anyone had anything like this happen to them? Yesterday, I went for the craziest bike-ride I've ever had. First, we spent an hour trying to get our tires pumped up. It was a great upper body workout but I realized that I rely on my husband too much. My friend and I finally loaded the bike and took them to the bike shop for a tire-pumping demo. Then we started riding and the wind was 23 mph. When it was at our back, we were going 28 Mph, when we were against it, we were only going 8 mph. Most of the ride was against the wind! Today, I will stay within 1500 calories and will walk for 45 min. and go to the gym for an upper body workout. Hope I didn't overwhelm you all with such a long post. It is nice to be back. Take care everyone and stay warm. T |

Wecome Madhul2002 if you are still with us. Everyone gave you the overview. We have been here, although I took a break for awhile, since May. Most of the ladies have been here so long that they have become more of a support group for one another.
I always am encouraged when I read the post. I get I lot of good ideas and I feel I can identify with where everyone is at, the successes and the struggles. Some have reached goals, others like me are still working at it. You are welcome to join us. Toniahayes |

Ohio45: I learned the little tip of the valve has to be loosened or the air won't go into the tire and it will be hard to get the pump head off. I don't what I'll do when it comes time to change the tire.
Tando: Thanks for the encouragement. Yes, I've been through some extremely stressful situations in the last year two years. It could have some to do with PTSM |

Hi guys,
I am waiting for my daughter who is tutoring calculus at my school. I am doing well and trying to stay focused on eating as clean as possible. I am trying to eliminate sugar from my diet first. I plan to go to the gym tonight for a spinning class and then a lower body strength training session. Tonia: My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know you can get through whatever is causing your symptoms. I know when my daughter was going through a lot of pain from our car accident, my health started to fail. Stress is a very real factor in our over all health. Tando: I wasn't creeped out by his comment, but I did think, hey look at your own wife (ha, ha). Ohio: Easter comes early this year! But, I know you can do it if you put your mind to it. Well, I gotta go. di |

Good Morning everyone!
I am sitting at school eating my Fat free Lentil soup for lunch. It is loaded with protein and I hope it fills me up. Last night went well and I completed my exercise goals. Tonight I plan to do a 60 minute step class and then a 60 minute strength class. The last time I did that I was really tired. I guess I just have to build up to it. Ohio: I think I am going to do a gradual clean eating plan. I think it would be much too hard and frustating to cut out all artificial colors and flavors, sugar, and white flour. I already only eat fish and no meat. A few years ago I had a terrible time with hives and the allergist couldn't figure out what was causing it. I stripped down to completely clean eating and they went away. I felt good, but sometimes deprived. I really love icecream and that was the hardest to give up. ttyl di |

Hi everyone! Thanks for your concern. I am still feeling crappy, but at least I have some idea what's wrong. I had an allergic reaction to a med a doc put me on a couple weeks ago. It took that long to kick in, but Wow! did it kick in. I am still having fevers and major headaches. I have slept a lot and am trying to just make it to class and get my work done. I am stopping the meds and hopefully within the next couple days things should ease up.
I broke a contact today! :( RGP Gas Permeables I have had them for years. So now I am stuck with glasses and can't get an exam til Monday...and then I will need to wait for them to be ordered. Not having a good week. My appetite is up slightly, I am trying to keep it under control and not give in to temptation to just go crazy...cuz I could just to try to make myself feel better. I am going to try to just get rest, get papers worked on for school, and focus on taking care my kids and myself. |
