I´m guessing that if there´s an effect it´s more likely due to the twice-daily massage than to anything in the lotion. Doctors rarely have a clue of stuff outside their own speciality. But that´s just my opinion :)

See, that's what I'm wondering. My thighs are definitely smoother, which is where I massage it in more. The skin on my stomach does feel tighter, but that could just be from it being more hydrated maybe? I don't know. Either way I like the results I'm getting. lol.
 
I've been working a good portion of the night rating YouTube videos and I seriously never want to see another Minecraft, My Little Pony, Skylanders, or R Kelly video eeeeever again. Too many more of those and I'd need a drink. So glad I'm done with that. lol.


Today went pretty good I think. I kept dinner reasonable and plan on having a serving of nuts for a snack tonight. I did the treadmill earlier. My hips didn't hurt as much this time, so that's good.
 
The stuff you can find on YouTube is absolutely ridiculous. I don't envy you for being subjected to that. I'll stick to yoga and music videos! I'm happy to see you're hips aren't bothering you as much. Hope the week is off to a great start!
 
Oaks: This week is off to a pretty good start. Thanks! :)


This week is going to be a busy one. Lots of errands to run and lots of appointments, but hopefully I'll find time to post every day still.

Today is going good so far. My best friend called me this morning and we are going out for breakfast tomorrow morning, so that will be a bit of a challenge. I'm sure I'll find something to eat. It just won't be my usual breakfast when I go out...a ginormous plate of biscuits and gravy. :( Why must they be so good? sigh.

Anyway, it's going to be a busy week, but I plan on doing the treadmill Mon, Wed, Fri... and also work in some exercises on the exercise ball. :)

My daughter loves My Little Pony. A lot. I will say I don't mind it, either, it's got some cleverness to it. And a thousand times better than Curious George or Caillou.

Breakfast could be an egg white omelet? Oatmeal? Yogurt and fruit? Rye toast with a little butter or cream cheese?

Oh, My Little Pony isn't too bad.... but homemade My Little Pony videos that people make with little plastic figures are. haha! So horrible. Who watches those? haha. And I totally agree with you on Caillou. So glad my kids are older now and over that one.

I'll probably go with an omelet or scrambled eggs.

One day I'll have an awesome taco shirt collection. (I need better goals in life. lol!)


215.8 this morning. I'm happy with that. :)


Did not end up getting to do the treadmill last night. Chef ended up getting a horrible migraine(he said it was top 3 of the worst he's had)... so making noise on the treadmill was not really an option. Although I could have done some other stuff, like the exercise ball, since he was in the bedroom with his head packed in ice. I didn't think of that at the time though. lol. So I'll try to get on there tonight instead.

Busy afternoon... have to go do mom's shopping and run her around.

Treadmill is done. My hips didn't really hurt at all this time. Yay! Had taco salad for dinner. Haven't had a snack yet. I might have some nuts or a few veggie straws in a little bit here. Overall it was a good day.
 
215.2 this morning.


I'm not doing the treadmill tonight. I know I said I was going to do Mon, Wed, Fri... but things got off track. I did the treadmill last night, so I'm going to be taking today off. Tomorrow Chef and I are probably going to the gym. We both have memberships... so we probably should use them. lol.

Haven't been the best with eating today, but only because I probably haven't eaten enough. I'll make sure to have a decent dinner and snack tonight to make sure I get enough calories.


Today's been kinda busy. Work and two trips to the dentist. Once to take my mom and once to take my daughter. Kaitlin has one baby tooth that's still hanging on. The dentist wants it pulled in two weeks if she hasn't gotten it out by then. She was not happy. Not that it takes much to make a preteen girl unhappy, but yeah, she was not a happy camper. I'm not sure I'll survive her being a teenager. lol!


Tonight I need to work some more and maybe get some drawing in. I'm pretty much done with my picture of Dave Grohl. I just need to fiddle with a few things before I officially call it done. :)
 
That Dave Grohl is really awesome. Good luck with the soon-to-be teenager, I'm frightened of how life will be when my daughter turns.

Thanks! :) .... Oh she will turn... it's just a matter of time. Mine will be twelve this year and the other day I called her in from outside. Her and her friends were doing something(probably that they weren't supposed to) and I got the...."YOU RUIN EVERYTHING, MOM!" followed by her going in her room and slamming the door. ..Oh, you think I ruin things now? ...Just wait, little girl. haha! But then she turns around like 20 minutes later and wants to cuddle. Preteen girls...they're like Jekyll and Hyde. My son on the other hand is 8 and still a mama's boy. :)

--------------------------

Well we went to the gym today. Fairly certain I won't be able to move tomorrow. I'm so sore.

Food so far has been good today. I'm off to pick up kids in a little bit here, and then start homework. yay. Next week is spring break at least. Upside...no homework... Downside.. they're home ALL day. I'm not going to get a thing done.

OH...and it's snowing. What the hell?!


Edit: Wanted to add that this not counting calories thing is going splendidly. I like it! I'm losing weight. I'm not stressed about every little thing I eat. I don't have to do math. :D

I'm so glad the not-calorie counting thing is working for you!! You've got enough on your plate, you shouldn't have to spend your free time on math if you don't have to. Oh, and we're expecting some snow this weekend... I'll be cursing then, too.
 
Glad to hear your no-count strategy's working! I'm doing it myself, but just as a means of tracking data, nothing stress-inducing.
 
Thanks, guys! :) Oh, and we're supposed to get more snow tonight.. Boo! lol.


214.2 this morning. Just a hair short of 2 lbs lost this week.


I took my mom out yesterday. We went to lunch and did a little shopping. Was a pretty good day. Today has been pretty good so far. I plan on doing the treadmill today at some point.


Finished both the drawings I was working on, the one of Dave Grohl and my Dad. I'm picking something new to draw today, and then I will be on to the next drawing. :)

Gosh, those drawings are incredible! I don't even know what else to say, I'm just staring at the pictures. VERY cool.
 
:iagree: with Oaks. Brilliant Jen! Your Dad looks like he would be a lovely guy to know & love, xo Cate
