congrats!!

today - 4.25mile bike 50min training session - did a last chance wkout w/trainer (24hrfit, similar to BL) - all body, all free weights / ab routine

i had their songs in my head all day yesterday....:eek: yesterday - b- skinny latte & slice cin/raisin bread w/butter s- half cucumber l- 1c spaghetti squash w/3tbsp vodka sauce & 1tsp romano cheese s- half cucumber d- 1pc fried fish, 1 huspuppy, 1/3cole slaw...not the best of choices:rolleyes:

whew.....just got caught up on the thread, take a day or two off and 4 pages have been posted. renewed - just been texting w/hubby, he said i'm a wuss if i dont' go ahead w/the tri......so not one to let him call me names., i'm going to do it:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Monster Triathlon - Keller, Texas doubtful i'll wear my dog the bounty hunter costume....i just need to run & bike here a bit the next 3 wks....think i'm good w/the swim congrats on all running kathy / lyn on the interviewing, been thinking of ya..... have new pups that were born yesterday...i keep popping in to make sure they're breathing, my mom flew in from FL - "to help"....she just wants to steal one...back to the gym tom after a day of smelling puppies pics attached:

plain has a face!!!!! drama = MIL, that's ALL i'll say...hee hee ***my halo's glowing***:eek:

i just went online and copied a calendar of the DFW tri's thru April 2009. there are quite a bunch; thinking i need a new challenge - cause since saturdays run, i've been a tad "lazy" w/nothing on the books to keep me focused. i start classes in jan - but, not giving up on working w/trainer and staying on plan; we'll still discuss tom if i can handle this tri in 3 wks:eek::sad_smile: ps - enjoy the glow of being ahead of whoysa; till he posts of course... stinker that he is

very similar - i had a bmi of 36+, 200lbs on a 5'1 (i was on my toes) frame at the time of surgery. i think you need to know that lower bmi's will lose more slowly than others, that said, don't give up the exercise - what you may need to do it up your calories. i was a slug out of the gate, and that was doing what i thought was right eating 800-1000 calories, my trainer told me to readjust my eating; start including carbs (which i had all but eliminated - but add good ones of course) & get my calories between 1100-1200. once i started fueling myself properly - i lost more in months 6-7 than i did 1-5 combined. and it's been a steady progression since. the last few might take a bit longer , but i'm ok w/that.....good luck to ya~

great pace renewed - question, who's ahead in the competition??? LOL my trainer just emailed me the following link: Monster Triathlon - Keller, Texas oooooh to think of doing a tri (though a pretty easy one compared to others...indoor pool:biggrin:) so soon is tempting...we'll discuss tomorrow morning over a round of squats:wink:

you look great kagoscuba, congrats on the transformation & cheers to your upcoming tri!!

probably not right away , check with your dr though. i had a 10lb limit for the first 4wks, by wk 6 - i was cleared for 20lbs.... good luck w/your surgery!!

congrats on getting approved!!!! i use to LOVE eggs - it's not that i can't eat them; just lost my taste for them - completely, even egg salad which i ate early on. i get proteins from: lean meats/fish (i know your not fond of:wink:)/cheese/beans (all kinds)/greek yogurt/protein drinks - some days/tuna & chicken salad.... check out the food forums - you can get some good ideas, again congrats on the approval!

i would like to, but i'm really ready to be out of the doggie day care buz. starting law school in jan, need that time for me.

i KNOW - fingers crossed; i noticed in the pics & sunlight that the 2 boys that have a white nose have a reddish coloring. maybe dad gene did kick in.

after losing weight - my feet get cold easily (and hands); i wear my uggs FT around the house till i hop into bed then wedge them up against DH. insurance - was told 30 days ; but surgeons office called in 3 to say denied; didn't meet criteria - went self pay. susan pup pics attached , adding one more....

a regular pedicure for me (standard) is $25 - if however i want to add a paraffin wax treatment, massage, hot towels w/hydration cream...the cost goes up; usually $55.

that makes complete sense. i keep ostrich jerky sticks in my workout bag, but i OVER them. i have to start mixing up my meals - i feel i'm in a rut eating the same things, and this morning - NOTHING sounds good. thankfully froggi posted that link because i'm just strugglin with TRYING to change up my sources of protein & meals.

i'm grateful i can feel my fill this morning - thought yesterday it had gone bye bye.., as i was hungry it seemed all day... also had some cute pups yesterday - plan on oozing in puppy breath today:

ha - when i clicked on the thread, i knew it was a question about bare minerals. :tt1: i bought the "set" about 3 yrs ago, there are good & bad about it. the bad, in my opinion is that the foundation is too dry - say around the eye area, it looks "caked" on and not smooth. their brushes are great, love the bronzer and eyebrow filler. for me, i don't care for the all over foundation & i think that's they're "go to product".

oh moms are great (mine carries disposable w/her at all time...don't ask- LOL). here's a shot of the babes, need to get them off the teet so i can clean her bed; its a bit messy - but she's not moving, won't even go out to use the bathroom....might be challenging today:

per msg: check out pg 133 for the link to LOTS of protein drinks, made the choc off this recp but changed it up w/outstrawberries & vanilla protein powder (choc instead): Strawberry Cheesecake Shake 8 oz. water or 4 oz. soy milk/4 oz. water 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder 1 T. SF Jello Cheesecake Pudding Powder 3-4 Frozen or Fresh Strawberries

thank god for moms - mine watched pups while i slept 13hrs straight...i never do that ... EVER, sorry those who have sleep issues - i can always sleep it seems. pup pics - my memory card is MIA, thinking of getting a disposable camera today to just get a few till hubby gets back in town on sat w/his camera. they are SO cute, mom (casey) will let me handle them 2 have a white spot on their nose , the rest are coal black. we had a "kennel" built on our property next to the farm house ; heating / air / TV / shower area because we have so many dogs.....15 now w/the 8 pups & it was just a great investment while breeding to have the private space for mom & babies as well as great for potty training. i like to have them all trained to go outside & on solid food by wk 8 when they go to their new homes... i am VEGGIN today - so keep posting to post, to occupy my VEGGIN mode...:tt1:

looked at the link tap & i would LOVE one of these machines at my gym (24hrFit). really works the gluttes, which is still my problem area, .... much more so than the elliptical. nothing today - wed, is my typical day off & i'm staring at puppies w/coffee:wink:

yesterday~ b- chocolate cheesecake protein drink s- half cucumber w/hummus l- 2oz garlic talapia & 1/3c brown rice s- 4 trisketts w/1oz cheddar d- 3/4c spaghetti squash w/3tbsp of vodka sauce, 1tsp romano
