You are sooo bad!!! I am fixing to go run. How do you post those little stats btw!!

One too many carbs this weekend and I am having some MAJOR carb cravings today. So far, so good. I just whipped up a special little treat to try and hold me over until I am back in ketosis. Probably not the most healthy, but here it is. I didn't even measure. It was a crisis moment. Throw something together or go get a hot fudge sundae. Here is what I whipped: cream cheese, splenda, heavy cream, vanilla, an egg. It was really very yummy, and with very few carbs. Can I live on this for a couple of days???

Glad to see you back Bea!! You are always welcome. Great job on the exercise regimen!! Georgia, I can't wait for you to get a Nike+. We will have so much fun doing the challenges. Don't you wish we could trade those bodybuggs we bought together in on Nike+ now. It seems we have both changed our focus to moving!!!!! How cool is that!!

My cycle returned to normal about 2 months after surgery. I have come to HATE the normal 28 day cycles. I was so used to 1 or 2 periods a year and so excited that I am finally "normal". Well, my little monthly visitor is getting to be a real bother, especially since my sex life has returned to "normal" as well. LOL Did I just say that!!!

LOL Whosya, not kicking your a$$ anymore. I better get with it. I knew you'd be checking in so I thought I better behave at least a little. Looks like you are ahead of me know, but never fear girls, I will catch up. Just for you!!

YIPEEEE KAthy!! Sounds very promising. I will miss you being on here so much during the day, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!!! Wishing yo the best on Wednesday!!

I'm staying on plan today because I didn't over the weekend and I am BACK ON TRACK!!!

I did not exercise today. If I don't run tommorow someone please give me a cyber kick in the butt. I am on a roll here. I don't want this weekend to mess me up!!

Happy bday Cyndi!! The liquid diet is a real pain, but you can do it! Ig gets better

I am married to the most wonderful man who works VERY hard to allow be to stay home and homeschool our 2 boys. I am SO very blessed.

I am very happy to encourage all of you!! What an awesome journey it is. After a year out, it is renewing to read your posts and sense the excitement and hope of a better future!! If you click on my profile pics you will see several before and during pics, but here are a few. The one in grey is the night before surgery. The one in the black ws taken 8 months out, so it is about 3 1/2 months old. I will take new pics at 1 year. I still have to pinch myself. The REAL me is coming back!! She has been hidden under all that fat for a very long time. I forgot how much I really like her (me).

I have completed the couch to 5k and did it on the treadmill. I didn't start running outdoors until after I could run 5K. Now it is so hard to make myself run on the treadmill because it is so eautiful outdoors. Anyway, to answer your question, I did not adjust the incline on the treadmill. Now that I run outside I can adjust the incline without problems. I wouldn't worry about the incline. As long as you are sticking with the program at what ever speed and incline you choose you are building endurance and will be successful at it!! Best wishes to you!!

Yesterday..We went camping and I forgot my running shoes. :tongue2: I can't run in my boots. I walked instead. It's not the exertion that I had planned, but I wanted to make sure that I didn't let a day go by without exercising.

I am staying on plan today because i ate too many carbs last night, but I am still in ketosis this morning. I don't want to mess this up. NO CARBS FOR ME TODAY!!!!

Wow, there are a bunch of yall having surgery this month!! How cool is that!! I wish everyone having surgery this week the very best!!

WAY TO GO LULUC!!!!! Your time was awesome, and what a thoughtful thing for your DH to do. Sounds like a perfect day!! tootie, how was your run?? Ladies, look at waht we have accomplished in such a short time. This thread was started June 28. That is just over 3 months ago. Do yall remember in the beginning when that 90 sec running interval was difficult!!! Now we are talking about increasing our run times on 5K, and triathalons and such. Such an amazing group of women!!!! I am honored to be able to know you all!!!

Way to go everyone!! We decided to go to our land yesterday. I just got home. I forgot to take my running shoes and running in boots is just not an option. So...I walked. I don't know how far but it was a long way. I plan to run at least 3 miles today!!

welcome Angel.. Keep moving. I am finding that makes a huge difference. I ate more carbs than normal yesterday, but am still in ketosis this morning. Weekends are the hardest...

Music really helps me with my runs. I don't think I could do it without my music. It would get way too boring.

Thanks for the info, Kami. I am always looking for something diffrerent. There is no Asian market here, but if we go to the Dallas area I will have to look for them. I have a new favorite. It was passed on to me by Georgia Girl. It sounds weird, but is so yummy. 1lb ground sausage with 3/4 pkg of cream cheese. YUMMY!!

Congrats HeatherO!! What exciting news!!

I still can't seem to shake the diet mentality either. maybe someday. I am planning to work on that when I get to goal. until then, looks like it's a diet for me.

I am not dressing up for Halloween.. It is 1 week after surgery. i will be dressed in compression garments and drains. It will be TOM too. I am not sure how that's all going to work. Arghh. I ran 5k tonight and it kicked my butt. I think I am beat from the 8 miles yesterday. Going to bed now. Goodnight.

Today....5K on the treadmill. Didin't make it to the track.
