Hey JM..Sorry to hear abbout the scale ..that does absoutley positively SUCK big time!!!!! I go though that too sometimes...and i know youve heard all the crap like..oh its ok your just gaining muscle...and oh its ok its a little platue...well screw all that it freakin sucks when the scale does not move. Espically whe your busting your arse to keep it moving.

I not even going to encourage you....when the scale doesnt move its a nightmare for me..i know its going to happen again over and over again...just one of the things we have to deal with.

Im glad you use some sanity by seeing how much losser your clothes are.

I did my last of this weeks runs. It was very dark out when I got up - this fall/winter thing sucks! I think I may be able to progress to the next week.

JM - I am sure it is muscle gain and you will have a big drop soon. There is just no way you could be doing this much exercise and not losing.

Well I did day one last night and it wasn't so bad. I am gonna try and d/l the pod cast so i don't have to keep track on the treadmill. It really was not as hard as i thought it would be. I can't wait to go to the gym tonight. I am actually starting to like exercise again!!! That is a great feeling a little sore but it is a good soreness:)

Thank you all for your encougement especially Whosyadaddy!!!

Hey anytime! Good for you!!!!!its hard sometimes but keep going..some days can be harder than others...if you have a really hard day at it take heart as the next one might be a breeze. Just think...in 2.5 months you are going to be able to jog 3 miles!!!! 3!!!! wow!!!! i cant wait. The last i did that was in high school and i still walked some of it and it was only 1x a week...soon ill be able to do that everyday!!!....YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!! Get fired up......get excited....im still considering making a podcast just for us banders:)

[KarenG. 0]

Yes! That would be so great to have a bandster couch 2 5k podcast - I appreciate the guy who does this one but the music makes me a little nuts. I would offer to help but I am not that computer savy! What kind of music would you use?

[whosyadaddy 0]

I dont know yet...if i ever do it it will something very upbeat....i know how about 'eye of the tiger' from Rocky :car:

[KarenG. 0]

sounds good - eye of the tiger is a perfect idea. Maybe chariots of fire too!

[whosyadaddy 0]

lol i like that....we should make a list.....

[KarenG. 0]

we should. i guess the problem is that the songs aren't usually the right duration for the intervals.

[KarenG. 0]

is that your dog?

[whosyadaddy 0]

nope. i cant afford a bulldog..i have a boston though
