I've decided I'm going to train for a 5k. The race is Oct. 4, so in theory I have plenty of time!

So, 3 x week -- Couch to 5k training.
Then 2 x week -- Callenetics.

Keep me accountable, please!

We were hoping to visit in May but it didn't work out. So next opportunity will be after Sept. (cheaper and less crowded!). My kids are young, so we'll do the Happy Hollow Zoo and the aquarium in between visiting family and friends.

That's great to know! I can see myself having to stay on a week for two weeks (or more) but my ultimate goal is to be able to run the full 5k. My company sponsors the marathon the next day, so I don't want to embarrass myself.

Snix, it's SO TOTALLY your all's fault that I can't get my cleaning done. Like why would I want to scrub the toilet when y'all are over here having a good time?

no...it's because she is messing up the weight chart!!

hellsbelles · 04-15-2008, 04:07 PM

Welcome zraik

!! The more the merrier!

Ok so I didn't have the salad today - I had a rather psycho episode for a few minutes... It's 7pm and I have 2 meals left to eat so I'm doing pretty good so far. I am going to try my hardest to do fat fast for one more day. If the scale still shows 184 in the morning then I'm not doing it another day but if I'm down 1 or more I'll try to keep it up. Today was harder than yesterday for some reason.

FF - yeah, this thread is pretty much drama free. I haven't seen a whole lot of drama on other threads either but probably because I haven't been to many of them. I like to go to a couple different ones daily but other than that I just don't surf the threads. There isn't enough time in the day!!! I guess I don't really have the need to search for answers to questions when I can just ask here lol!

I work in Durham, about 30 minutes from Pittsboro. Pittsboro is pretty nice - a cute town!

I've heard that dreamfields stalls some but it's still probably far better than eating regular pasta and it's not like you eat it every day. Drinking a lot of water will probably flush the weight right back off

RiotGirl08 · 04-15-2008, 04:15 PM

OMG Belle, I totally get that. I had a semi- psychotic episode on the fat fast too! Seriously..... ask FF about the wacky ass PM I sent her during it.

LMAO!! I can only imagine

!

Seriously. It was awful. I felt like I was going to scream. I don't know if it was hunger or hating the fact that I was getting ready to eat 3 bites of food and that was my ENTIRE meal lol! You would think that I was pms'ing or something...

hellsbelles · 04-15-2008, 04:22 PM

Riot - I never did figure out how to post pics on the photobucket site. I'm really not that bad at posting/attaching pictures but really had a hard time figuring it out. I seriously think it may be because I'm just listed as a guest?

Oh, and are we posting our measurements in here? I thought someone said they were doing it today... I have mine so just let me know where to post them

!

~slinking away to go take pics and measurements~

ETA: measurements

Bust 42

Abs: 35.5
Waist 35
Hips 40
Thigh 24
Calf 15

I don't think I lost any inches... maybe one in my thigh....
Pics will have to wait. I need to go shopping for a smaller swim suit. That'll be my reward at the end of this challenge, buying a new one for pics.

hellsbelles · 04-15-2008, 05:18 PM

Ok so we post them here then

Measurements:

Feb. 13th
arm - 12 1/2
waist - 41
left thigh - 24 1/2
hips - 48

April 5th
arm - 12 1/2
waist - 39
left thigh - 23
hips - 45 1/2
bust - 39
neck - 13
left calf - 15

*It looks like I lost 6 inches from Feb to April. I only measured 4 places in Feb. and decided to measure more right when I started doing callanetics so hopefully I will lose more overall inches this time! I have measurements from January also but figured that was too far to go back...

hellsbelles · 04-15-2008, 05:20 PM

Ok so based on your measurements riot - it looks like I'm not measuring my thigh and calf correctly because there is no way that ours would be the same... I think everything else looks about right though (except for bust - I wear a 39 D)

FatFatnomore · 04-15-2008, 05:51 PM

39????

Where in the world are you buying your bras Bella? I've never even seen that size. I'm in a 38 D now and I can't WAIT to get back to a 36 C. These boobs are annoying.

I still got saddle baggage going on, so yeah, that probably is right. I'm measuring my thigh at the biggest part of it. See the pic for a visual...
