Welcome to the Road To Onederland challenge, Emilee! I can't wait to celebrate with you when you reach 199. :hug:

LOL @ paisley. It's perfectly ok. I was laughing when it happened too. It was gross, yes, but soooo funny. My husband had a good chuckle over it too.

:hug: Thank you for sharing this, my dear friend. You've done a fantastic job and I'm so very proud of you.

My first PB was my most embarrassing. My husband and I were driving from Oregon to Las Vegas and had just gone to Starbucks for Breakfast after staying overnight in Twin Falls, ID. I was roughly 1 month out from surgery and could tolerate most foods, including bread, so I decided to get a cinnamon roll. I was behind the wheel that morning to allow my tired (and somewhat cranky) husband to rest. Well, after only 2 bites of the cinnamon roll, I had that massive pain in my chest and started sliming. We were on the Interstate and I thought I could just roll down the window and spit everything out. WRONG!!! It flew right back in and smacked me right on the cheek and went in my hair. It was soooo disgusting. Thankfully we had a few napkins so that I could clean myself up a bit. Of course, we pulled over at the next exit so that I could use the restroom and make sure that everything was clean. ICK ICK ICK!!

Ok, I'm feeling better but not yet 100%. However, I did pull weeds, trim hedges/bushes, rake and sweep the walkway this morning, which took about 1 hour. If I'm feeling better later, I may ride my recumbant bike or do the Abs of Steel and Buns of Steel videos. :girl_hug:

Wow, :first:!!! You're SMMMOOOOKKKIINNNNNGGGG HOT!!

I get dizzy every now and then. It happens mostly when I stand up too quickly. I am properly hydrated and get plenty of protein in my diet. I've had my sugar levels checked and everything is nomal.

Cate - that's great. The best thing to do is to start with a few and then build your way up. I should probably start doing more because I'm not feeling much resistance anymore. I did mix it up last time and did the Buns of Steel video, which incorporates A LOT of variety and kicks my arse! As soon as this cold is gone, I'm back to the grind! Yay!!

Congratulations, MyChevyGirl!! Everyone deserves a BIG round of applause for joining the challenge. :clap2: :clap2: Cate - you look fantastic. Congrats, girl. P.S. I put up my bathing suit pictures on the 1st page of the thread. P.S.S. Love ya, Telly! :love:

Great news, Amy! I'm so happy to hear that you're feeling better (and that you got laid)!! :biggrin1:

That sounds like a good idea but I'm not taking one now and posting it. I'm in my jammies! I will do it tomorrow though. :biggrin1:

Wow, girl, you look absolutely amazing.
