today - 1 hour cardio class

oooh - weren't those shoes Kaepa's? I loved those but I had a single mom and couldn't afford to buy them. I also love the "yoyo" shoes but didn't have any of those either. I was crazy over parachute pants when they came out. Couldn't buy the "official" ones so had to buy knockoffs - I swear my thighs could have started a fire with those things. Not to mention how loud and annoying it was to walk in! Life was grand when I turned 16 and got a job - then spent all my money on clothes!!!

Y'all are so funny!! It's like I know y'all or something Suzzzie - I think you definitely did the right thing!! HOLY COW - making out at 11!!! My baby turned 11 today, and boys are still mostly icky. (Thank you Lord!!) I can't imagine at her age .... well I'll just stop with that thought. My dear niece started experimenting with boys at 16 and got caught - I thought my sister was going to kill her!! Either she's decided to be a good girl now, or she's just better at not getting caught. Stef - I'm glad to know you are still working on it. I'm a complete and total dork about this workout stuff!!

welcome back Candy!! I was thinking about you since you've been quiet for a bit Glad to know all is well!!!!

HUGS Booboo!! You are going to be even MORE gorgeous than you already are! You will be in my prayers! Gen (wombat)

Yea Suzzzie!!!! Yep - you are now officially the "kewl aunt"!!!!!! Hey - I saw your updated pics on before/after - you look Awesome!!

Sugrbear - I've never been to the support meetings. I live North of Dallas :thumbup: I travel down for my fills since he includes the first year (which is almost up!!) I've located a local doctor to take me on once I'm done with Spivak. He's great but I don't like that drive!

Ok - it was raining outside today so I hit the treadmill. (I'm clearly avoiding the elliptical!!!) I ran 2.9 miles and just didn't have anything left. DH decided to come up beside me as I was sprinting at the end and threw me all off. I can't turn my head or I run off the stupid treadmill. :thumbup: I was so mad at him because I was soooo determined to do a 5k without stopping. (I was doing 6.5mph when he showed up - grrrrr) Anyway - I ran most of it at 4.6, ran 3min at 5.0 in the middle of my run with a 60 sec 6.0 sprint; towards the end I ran for 60 sec at 5.0, 60 sec at 6.0 and 30 sec at 6.5.

Update please :biggrin2: Wombat712 .... 152.8 ........... 120 .......... 132.2........... 12.2

Welcome Welcome!!! I pray God will bless you all with the desires of your heart today!! He is so awesome (I love Sundays and going to church!). I'm not much on Protein drinks. I will get the whey protein at Walmart because it's cheaper than the stuff at GNC. I mix it with light soy-chocolate milk. It is fabulous!!! Total is 180 calories. When I'm in a rush (which is most mornings), I will just drink a slim-fast because I can grab and go. I know, I know - not so great on the protein but I LOVE the stuff! HUGS HUGS HUGS! Gen (wombat)

WTG Steph!!! You have had two beautiful days this weekend!!!!!! Good luck Whosya!!! You have both trained so hard - it really is inspiring Gen (wombat)

Good Lord I thought it was just me!!! Whew! My upper body is starting to look kinda scrawny so I really need to focus on that. But hellllooo - why couldn't losing weight have taken away the "bat wings" with it!!!!! I do the lunges / squats "hell" on my cardio class day. That woman is insane and evil! Thanks for the advice lulu and whosya! I'm going to skip the legs workout for now. Saturday - 6 hours pouring beer at Kenny Chesney concert I think I'm done volunteering for awhile - I am just wiped out now! Good luck Whosya and TexasFire!!!!!

I'm in too!! I plan to do a minimum of 4 hours cardio a week. And somewhere in all of spare time - I need to start lifting weights. I have chicken arms :party: I will (or plan to) run 5k on Mon, Wed, Fri Do Cardio butt-kick class on Thur Any suggestions on when I can fit in doing my legs? I don't want to be so sore that I can't run the next day. Last goal for the month - I want to be able to use the ellyptical machine w/o thinking I'm going to die. Right now, 5 min and I think I need to call 911. I don't know why this one is so hard for me. Gen (wombat)

{{{{{HUGS}}}}} Stef!! Good luck on the MS150 this weekend! Wombat

HUGE HUGS Stef!!!

Good luck Stef on the ride this weekend!! I heard it on the news and the radio this morning. Frisco to Ft Worth - AMAZING; you're going to have to change your name to Superwoman!! Exercise: Yesteray - Ran 5k. Did it in 40 min. I only had to take 3 30sec breathers. I hadn't run in a week and I could feel it. My lungs hurt for an hour afterwards. I won't be able to run with my jogging club until next week so I'm going to feel the pain again.

welcome Tulosmom!!!! You are in the right place!! God is good as He supplies all our needs! HUGS Gen

glad to hear you are moving along on your healing coltorismom!!!!! It just gets better and better each day - hang in there!!! Gen

Jimmy Buffet was awesome!!!! The people there were so much fun (and soooooo drunk). I was covered in margarita!! We made about $1200 for the high school band. We did Edgefest yesterday. It's an all day heavy rock concert w/ 19 bands!! Holy cow!!!!! Much different group there (not to mention how much pot I could smell). It was a beating - spent 6 hours there; other people handled the rest of the day. We will make about $3k for the band on that one! Next weekend - I get to do beer taps for Kenny Chesney I'm looking forward to that one! Welcome back Kt999!!!! I think of you everytime I come in here since you are the first poster and have wondered how you've been! Hope you all had a great weekend. I took the day off to recover from two concerts in a row! Gen

No official exercise for me since Thursday. This is my charity week Friday - did 3 hours of cooking for Ronald McDonald house Saturday - 6hrs working Jimmy Buffet concert serving beer and margaritas Sunday - 6 hrs working Edgefest (19 rock bands all day party nightmare) again serving beer I'm a little tired after all of that. I'm supposed to jog tomorrow but I think I'm going to spend the day sleeping instead! Coming up: Tuesday - 4 hours at SPCA walking dogs Friday - serving at food pantry for 3 hours Hope y'all had a great weekend! Gen

Just thought of a couple more ... Parachute pants (how horrid were they?!?!) Yoyo shoes Little Shop of Horrors "Feed me Seymore!!"

lol Rhonda! That's too funny I've only pb'd more since this last fill. I have a hard time adjusting to eating slow enough for this one. I can go days or even a week or two without a PB. And then some days are just horrid. In the beginning of this fill I would pb at least once a day. It was more rare to not have a day where I pb'd. I probably just compound the issue because I don't go back to liquids or mushies for a day. I need to make that a practice to allow any swelling to go down. Today: B - 1/2 egg, 1/4c hash brown S - 1/2 slice cheese L - cheesy shrimp casserole w/ egg noodles (about 1/2 cup), 1/4c broccoli w/ cheese (I HEART cheese!!) D - who knows yet - I'm going to Jimmy Buffet concert and working one of the margarita stands; I'll probably forage at a concession stand. Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!!
