I'm barely typing this post out. My arms are buzzing - oh boy are they gonna hurt tomorrow! :chuckle

I broke all previous records of endurance - both on the treadmill and free weight dumbells. Now I just need to push my bicep repetitions to 15 each for 3 sets... :D

Gotta go wipe the sweat off before I stink up the whole house! :p

I hate a lot of junk at the party today, but I knew I would. Back to the healty living tomorrow.

Zoe, I've learned not to beat myself up for falling off the wagon. I do it so often. LOL

Yes Sir! Pain is weakness leaving the body....

Hmmm, I always thought it was 'Falling ON the wagon...'

... I hope I can get this under control, good grief, I feel like I am fighting a loosing battle. Every time I think I have it, something comes along and messes me up. Anyway - I'm thinking of keeping a food journal, just to make myself feel guilty about what I am eating since I have to write it down - maybe that will help. Had yogurt for breakfast, so we shall see where the day leads me!

I think it is you I am thinking of - it seems like some days when you are "good" you aren't getting enough food in - fruit, salad, cottage cheese - typical "diet" type foods... It's my understanding that you can't SUPER restrict cuz 1. if you only eat x amount of calories, your body thinks it is starving and will just hang onto whatever you put in! and 2. You will have the deprivation/ "I give up!" factor - slow healthy weight loss is better...

Yeah right and I am a :mortarboard: of the School of Successful Weight Loss - AND I have this great bridge I'd love to sell you...

Hi I am currently losing weight i gained from my pregnancy. I gained 95 pounds and have lost about 60 so far. I am at a stand still though. I am a sweetaholic so my lifesaver has been sugar free fat free pudding. I am starting nursing school in two weeks and looking forward to it.:monkeydance:

I donated a pint of good B- blood yesterday.

BP checked out to 138/80 :uhoh21:

Taking a break from exercise yesterday and today. Getting back in the swing tomorrow....

Good doo bee (re the blood)

That is the 2nd time today someone mentioned high BP - guess I really ought to be monitoring mine better. But 138/80 isn't too bad, is it?

My normal used to be like 110/70 - now my normal is about 140/80. Last January it ran into the 200/100's - ZOIKS!
