Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

and Shit seriously I hadn't even read the rest of that post till I was done typing like a mad woman, and than the rest of your posts, I just freaking used the same terms....

Like the other day when I posted in here, and I left you can put your mind to it, blah blah, and than I post, and than I read your new sig, and I was thinking oops. :blush5:

Sorry to take up a page worth of your diary blog...Laterz Girl. You TOTALLY ROCK!
 
WOW!!!:eek2:!!...That was so beautifully put!!! I completely understand you and your mind!!!...I actually loved those quotes so much as well, I printed them out and pasted them here in my office wall!!..I needed new ones!! :D!!!...Me too...I always look for and find the meaning in everything too!!..I beleive that we are attracted to the things we need to hear and see and be around when we need it most!! :D!!

....Girl!!!!....I'm truly blessed to watch you Grow as well!!!..You are deep as an ocean and I love it! Your communication of it as well, is so touching..because sometimes I just wish the world was a wishing well so deep and full of hope..and HERE...I can find that through wonderful people like yourself too!!!! Thank you for being you!!! D!...You are amazing and you are daily putting your mind to the test and sharing that great knowledge with others and projecting the beauty within you outwards!..You deserve all the great things that are coming to you with that determination. The determination to make the best of yourself no matter what the circumstances. To be free and free others. :beating:!!!
 
So I did it...& I decided to face my fear!!! :D! I started a 2 week 5 lb Challenge with JuanX starting today and I weighed in and after a week long destruction period.....I gained 7 lbs from 151. ...So now ...I'm 158 :eek:!!! WTF?!?!...

....anyway...still feeling good about my efforts...and not going to change my ticker back...Cause I'm not accepting this gain as REAL!...also I had my TOM and I just finished...so maybe a slight 1/2 lb. could be water weight..hahaha...water retention I mean. ;) ....hahahha....maybe not!.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exercise yesterday: 30 mins. of Power Yoga (after work b4 school)
30 mins. of Sauna @ Ballys w/ Yoga moves in there (night-after schl)

Exercise this morning: 30 mins. of Stationary Bike @ home w/ arm movements
------------------------------------------------------------------------
...Exercise is getting to be easier and easier to think of it as a part of a daily activity. I mean, most people who have pets take their dogs out for a walk everyday.Why wouldn't we want to walk our bodies everday?!?!! ...same concept no?!?!

....:D! That's the way I'm feeling about it now...it's something that has to be done everyday for happiness and safe living! :iagree:...even something...15 mins in the morning is more than what we were doing..and ONE step closer!........I tend to forget things like that when I self sabatoge myself, and let myself spiral down for a couple days back to back. I mean come on right...camping this past week....I ate: Smores, Chicken, Meat, Hamburgers, Fries, Eggs, Bread, Cookies, Brownies, Chips, Alcohol, Beer....EVERY TOXIN OUT THERE>>>I ATE IT!!!! :puke:

...& Tom was around & I was camping & the craving for sweets & the end...the story finishes at 158 lbs! :eek:...well..I did this to myself....now I'm getting myself out!!!...]If anyone wants to join me and JuanX on our personal 2 week 5 lbs loss challenge!!!....Feel Free!!!!...LET'S DO IT!!! ....and if not...hopefully in 2 weeks..I will be 5 lbs smaller!!!!...:iagree:!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runner's World Quote of the Day:

"I run with my head, my heart and my guts, because physically, I don't think I've got a great deal of talent or ability. I started at the bottom and worked up. "

Steve Jones, former marathon world record holder :sifone:
 
Alta, I thought about saying something along similar lines when I read about you being robbed again but stopped myself for fear of sounding corny. Sometimes we need to vent just to get it out of our systems & then we bounce back. Sweets you know what is really important in life & I am loving being able to watch this beautiful, positive & very active Alta emerging. (You still exhaust me as well as inspire me! LOL) You're learning much faster than I ever did! Life is great & we don't need much at all in the way of material things. Sending you hugs & kisses, xoxo Cate.
 
whats up girl? how ya been? Im still doin my thing, this summer has been crazy! I've gone on 4 trips already this summer. I was even out in your neck of the woods, I stayed with a buddy in Pasadena for 4 days, man its sooooooo nice out there! LUCKY!

Went on some coasters, did a little indoor skydiving at city walk, did a little yo yoing with the weight, peaking at 186!!! (you guys still have round table pizza out there, we dont have that here any more :p )

Im back down to 174, and should steadily decrease, as i dont think my bank account can stand any more vacations this year :/

hope ya doing good, i'll read over your posts when i get a chance... or... you can sum it up for me :)

I'm rooting for you!! You're in my thoughts & prayer Alta. I KNOW you can do it!!

Um I'd uh join with you and Juanx....(hope I spelled that right) but I've been planning for cake next Thursday for the last oh 6-8 months. And I am pretty sure I'll be going up in water retention, I think I'll just maintain for now. I'd like to join another time though, if you plan something again.

Hoping you're well. Take Care :beating:

I don't know maybe August is evil or something. I was 193 in late June/early July and just the other day I was all the way up to 203! :puke: This morning I was 199. Either way its a definite gain. Now I see you gaining too. We are both running are butts off. We should be losing weight. WTF?!? I am pretty sure I have gained because of some meds I started around end of June/early July but when I read that you are gaining too it really confuses me. Unless we are both overeating to compensate for all the calories we are burning from running?

Well, don't let it get you down too much. Keep on running! And good luck with your 18 mile run! Holy moly that's far!

WOW!!...You know...now that you mention it...I did start taking BC pills this past month. It would now equal one month of taking them,...plus eating bad...and I think YUP..like you said...more running equals more more hunger and more hunger equals more eating.

...So I think cut the portions for us, and by now I think the medications should be adjusting to the body to start shedding the lbs again. Plus we all go through a little water retention!...Cause looking at your body...you don't look much heavier at all...and I don't feel I look that much different. sooo...hmmm...YEAH...let's just keep WORKING hard and the rest will follow!!! :iagree:!!!

Hey great job on the running. You must feel great.

also, where has Ivette been? How is she feeling? Tell her to get her behind back in here.

Hey How are you Matt!!!?!?!...Thanks a bunch!!!

...Ivette has been doing good. Healing and recovering....for a while she had some complications and the stich went into her skin creating a hole the size of a quarter..and they had to put some machine there that looked like a gameboy/dvd player hanging off her. She is fine now, but they didn't quite do the full job like she wanted in the front of her. Meaning they left like a pouch which she is really unsatisfied with, so she is going to get that surgery done as a touch up which she feels the doctor owes her...(which he does) for free...soooo...yeah in December she will be under another surgery.

I pray for her!...I'll tell you though... that we did start going to the gym in the morning a few days ago. So hopefully that one time event will continue. She is trying to get back on Cohen, and her sister got out jail so she is doing good now. I think sometimes though, it's tough, and the closer we get to our goal,....we start analyzing things more and becoming more unsatisfied.

...I hope she comes back in here too!!..:) thanks for coming by Matt!! It's always great to see your smiling face!!! ;)
