Hey everyone -
I have to say....I've been great about reading the board, but bad about writing for the past 2-3 weeks. I think I'm just getting frustraded that my weight has been up and down 2 lbs since december and I am still basically in the same spot. I tracked for 1 week and was on target....and didn't lose. So then I stopped tracking and did the "keep track in my head". I've been a bit off...but not that bad (I think). Who knows. WI is tomorrow and I think I'm up a bit...but we'll see.
I've been running TM at the gym or eliptical at least 3 days a week. I know as the weather here in upstate NY warms up, I'll be able to do more when I can get OUTSIDE again.
redfoxfan - CONGRATS on your loss to date. You are amazing. You look great (and I agree with the younger)....don't you just hate losing points when you get down 10lbs? I'm right on the cusp right now of losing another.... Hope everything works out with the repeat mammo for you. that's gotta be hard to think about for the next 6 months.
nhmommy - happy belated birthday!
leanyjoan - how was the pedicure?
thisyear - isn't it frustrating how easily men lose weight? my hsuband dropped 30lbs in a few months last year basically by watching what he eats and not eating after 8pm. and WOW....your hubby is fast! I hope to someday get under a 9min/mile pace in my 5k's....right now i'm around 9:40.
shannon4runner - congrats to you and your husband on the 8 year melanoma-free mark! keep slapping on the sunscreen! i don't really know how the clothing sizes go.....it does seem odd to be the same size and have that big of a weight difference....but who knows! i'm between a 10 and a 12 now and am right around 170. I'm 5'5" though...so i'm a big shorter than you guys.
bo - i LOVE LOVE LOVE the blue dress. sorry to your DIL....you should wear what you like to the wedding though! don't you hate losing points? i think back to when I had 29 pts a day....and how i used to COMPLAIN about it not being enough.....what i'd give to be able to have 29 pts now!
happy - i hear you about the easter candy. glad easter is out of the way now...as i've been on a candy kick for the past month or so. not a lot...but a couple pieces a day....and i know they are adding up! nice double digit run you had! i'm waiting for the day i can brag about having a 10 miler!
stillpluggin - congrats on the loss...wow! you are so close to your goal! that is CRAZY the amount of calories you burn a day training for the marathon! 2100!!!! you must have to eat all the time!
lifeintheparks - good luck with your 10k training program. i've been debating about training for a 10k. i can run up to 4.5 miles or so now......but i haven't found any interesting 10k's to motivate me!
well that's about it for now....hope i'm pretty much caught up! have a great week everyone!
gatergirl - more power to you for admitting the candy plunge! and for jumping right back on the wagon! everyone slips once and a while. the important thing is to recognize it, and start fresh the next day. one slip that leads to another and then another is the problem i think....
, but train with the group in hopes of running a fall marathon. We're going to start trying to get pregnant this summer and if it happens, I'll just run as much as I can, and if it doesn't, I'll be set for the marathon. At least I hope. That's the plan. Can of a wait and see what happens. I don't want to be one of those people who doesn't exercise at all while pregnant. I've never been pregnant, so I really can't talk from experience, but I've known a lot of friends who use pregnancy as an excuse to be lazy and eat whatever they want. Of course, I'm just talking of people that had healthy uncomplicated pregnancies.
