Oops sorry Dave. Hope things get better soon.

Not watching my calorie intake today which is a good thing becuz we have a party to go to today. My tummy shrank so it's not like I can eat huge amounts of food. I just won't restrict what I feel like tasting.

Callanetics sounds like a smart way to workout! Excited to see all your results!

Happy Sunday everyone~

[lildragonfly]

Metqa- I am with you on the weighing of stuff. I either underestimate food or overestimate it lol. I my food scale.

Dave- Dont let the video fool you by watching it lol. Try it out. I guarantee its harder than it looks. ITS NOT YOUR GRANDMAS VIDEO!!!

Guys- Where is Deanna and Phil and MG??

Lisa- Girl Gratz on the getting into smaller pants!! Woot you going to be Marilyn Monroe before you know it.

Chic- I ran this morning. I think Im going to have to get a knee brace. I had a knee accident a few years back playing volleyball and snapped it and now its giving me issues after I run a bit.

Mikki- I have to say this dvd is worth the money and I swear the hour goes so quick. YOu can see changes after a few workouts.

Freeing- We are going to Atlanta Aquarium Friday Im so excited lol. I may get the cardio dvd too but I think im going to buckle down on myself and get some turbo jam going on. Im a gluten for pain lol.

Michelle_

Lucki- It is best investment Ive made in myself is the Callanetics dvd.

Jilly- Glad you are back!!!

Trisha & Tom- Are you getting excited about Florida??


to everyone else!!

How far and long did you run today Marsha?
DH got home at 3:30 am and unintentionally woke me up as he was getting into bed. I layed there half awake unti 5:30 when I decided to get up and run too. Now I feel fatigued. I'm gonna be loads of fun at this party.

[lildragonfly]

I ran a mile in 30 mins lol. Im so out of running. Definitely gotta do better. Ill work up ot it though. I am going to have to get better shoes and a brace for my knee.

[Justachic]

Hey Marsha...That's GREAT! Don't bag on yourself. I'm still working on my timing. Sighhhhhhh~

Have you ever played sand volleyball? They do so much of that out here, like with 2 man games. I was on a team in high school (playing on an indoor court) but never in the sand. I'd love to learn how to play in the sand!

[lildragonfly]

I was playing sand volleyball when i popped my knee out of place lol. If I lived somewhere like you I would love to play that all the time. I never played 2 man but I think would be a challenge.

[metqa]

Aw man! I hate to harp, but it just gets worse and worse. I just went outside to check on some of my sun-starved plants. I see that one of them needs more soil, so I go to the apartment stairwell where I've kept my soil and supplies for the past two years, and . . . GONE! Some lousy **** has taken my stuff and done who knows what with it. I am so darned p****ed I'm about to explode! Why!? Everybody in these apartment knows that I am the one with the garden. What could possess them to just up and take 4 bags of expensive gardening material away? I have to wait till monday to even talk to the property manager and she probably has no idea what the maintenance crew has done. AAARRRGGGGHHH!

[lildragonfly]

Ugh sorry Metga. I really dislike people who steal from others like that. What plants you growing?

Just finished second workout of the day. Did 45 mins on elliptical this morning. Second workout did 7 min warmup on bike, worked my legs for about 30 mins, 10 more on elliptical, and finished on the bike increasing resistance by 2 every 2 mins until I couldn't peddle anymore (about 12 min). feel pretty good. Will try to do another hour of cardio tonight. 2 weeks from today I'll be cruising in the Caribbean and really want to be able to show off the bod.

[kycowgirl]

chic, when I was preggo, I felt better than I ever did. People said I "glowed". Glad you had a good time with your friend. Tom & I are going to go visit a friend of mine while we are in Florida. We have been friends since 6th grade !!!

Marsha, Ohmygosh !!!! What a difference in those pics !!! Amazing !!!! I amy have to give that another try !! Yes we are very excited about leaving for Florida. I broke it to my boss last night I am leaving work early wednesday night and wont be in Thursday or next Tuesday

Jilly, I sure hope you feel better soon. And I am glad your still with us

Juanita, how much actual cla does it have on the back of the bottle? you need 3.4 a day.

metqa, glad you made it . Hope you find your cla soon!! I have those "moments" too lol dont feel bad. Thats sucks someone took your garden supplies.

lucki, glad they didnt find anything bad with your neice

Free, that aquarium does sound pretty cool

Dave, hope you get out of the doghouse soon lol. Sounds like your doing great with your exercise !!

mikki, doin ok here ty. Scale said 199.2 today...everytime lol so I am making progress. Whatever Colorados weather is, we get in about 3 days. Its 56 here now. Supposed to be 60 today

Lisa, you may have something with the veggie thing. Since I started eating broccoli and cheese every day, my weight has been going down slow but sure. I have the 10 Years Younger in 10 DVD somewhere. I'm going to hunt it up and give it a try again when we get back from Florida.

Cosmic, thanks for sharing the article, interesting

Liz, I believe those were 5 a day. Different brands have different actual cla content, so you just have to read the back and adjust


We are taking mom to the casino again tonight after Tom gets off work, so we wont be on later. Wish us luck !!!

Just got an e-mail from my sister. She took my purple haired neices baby (her grandson) away from her. Hes 2 and she leaves him alone all the time. Well she left him alone again and he pulled the TV on his head and cut his head and broke his nose. She wouldnt even take him to the hospital. She said he will be ok. She has NO maternal instincts at all !!! I am so p***** !!! That poor baby !!! My sis is calling child protective services and getting custody of Caden. All Tina wants to do is Party grrrrrrr !! sorry for the rant, I hate seeing children abused

[lildragonfly]

Trisha- How awful your niece would be like that. She will regret that when she gets older. I would do same if i was your sister. Poor child

And I sure wish you luck at casino!!

I've got a Lemon Balm that's trying to hold onto life. and a couple of Purple Queen Wandering Jews, and a variegated Wandeing Jew. My Catnip is sending up shoots despite the winter weather (Qiwi's gonna like that) and my Parsley will be two years old this spring. I want to try the basil seeds I harvest last year, Ideally they will be drought resistant this go around.

I've got a box of senior moments I was gonna give to my parents, but I may just keep it myself I almost hope it wasn't the maintenance guys, cause they know me and would know better. If it is really thieves I think I could get over it quicker.

I'm sorry to hear about your Grand Nephew. It's good that your sister is taking custody of him and getting him the care he needs.

LuckyAngel, glad to hear your niece is okay.

[ADLMA]

Trish - I understand your rant. Poor little guy. I hope Social Services does good by him

Lil - Do you remember the weight loss from before/after? I see a huge difference!

Metqa - I amsorry someone took your stuff. I am sure you were bugged by the whole thing!

[lildragonfly]

Adlma- That is the kicker Adlma ( Lisa can vouch for me cause I complain to her about my weight) I did not lose a lb between the 2 pics.

[ADLMA]

Lil - YOU ARE KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You look like you lost at least 10 pounds! Not that I am doubting your word at all, but it is just so amazing. I did hour 10 yesterday. I know you are supposed to see the biggest changes around hour 20. I sooooooo hope I have the great results you did. Wow, what a change!!!!

Hello!

I left Friday morning for Chicago to attend the Walk Worthy mens conference at Moody Bible Institute. Get this...a country boy in downtown Chicago. Talk about being out of place! I have never been in Chicago, never been on or in a subway, and I have never seen or rode on the "L" before. I killed three birds with one stone Friday afternoon. Another guy and I were told to keep our mouths shut when we got on the subway. The "L" was a great way to see the city. It was pretty cool to see all the stuff that I have seen on T.V. in real life...like the river that they dye bright green for St. Patricks Day the Sears tower and the Hancock building. U.S. Cellular field (White Sox ball field) and Soldier field(Chicago Bears) was cool to see. We didn't make it to Wrigly Field but that's the Cubs. I'm a Cardnials fan!!! We stood outside of some ABC news station and watched evening news cast while it was being aired. I stood on the side walk and looked up and then looked straight ahead. Buildings, and tall ones at that as far as I can see. Man I was out of my element! I was woke up in the middle of the night by a fire truck screaming down the road with its horns and sirens wailing!

The conference was AWESOME. The sound of 2000 men singing is just mind blowing. I tend to get a bit nervous in crowds so I sat at the back of the auditorium in case I had to bail out into a room with less people. My group was in the front 2 rows. As the place filled up a group of several white and black men sat in the row that I was in. After the conference started the first speaker ask us all to stand and meet someone we didn't know. So introduced my self to a couple people around me and ask them where y'all from from. They were from the Chicago area. I told them I was from S.E. Iowa and that I had never been in Chacago before. "You guys have buildings like we have corn fields...as far as the eyes could see." They laughed. We visited quite a bit during the conference. I had met some really cool new friends. These guys could sing too!!! Not only that...they got into their praise and worship! It was AWESOME to hang around with these guys for a few hours!! I think the next time I go to one of these conferences, I'll sit with strangers.

Anyway, I got home late last night. My WOE was NOT LC. Man I was in Chicago and I was going to enjoy the food! I am starting back to LC tomorrow and resume my weight training.

Nope not kidding I weigh exactly same lol. But I did drop from a 12 to a 10 with no change in weight lol. So Ill take that!

[ADLMA]

Lil - I'd sure take it too!!!! I have not touched the scales or measured. I can only hope I look as good as you did at 12 hours. I am simply stunned! Such a huge difference. Wow, you must be proud. I know you worked hard, so I am very proud of you!

[lildragonfly]

Thank you!! I am hoping to get some abs going on. I did another 1/2 mile a min ago but instead of running did power walk. And going to do Callan ab work. Tomorrow I start a combo of my cardio on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday going to do Turbo Jam and Power 90. On M, W, F do callanetics. And in between Ill do power walking when weather is good and running. I gotta work on upper body too arms have that wobbly thing when i wave. BTW I have to tell you I dont take the combo. I do take GLA and fish oil when I dont forget lol.

[ADLMA]

Lil - Wow! You are working it! I could see that your abs are coming along. There are indentions-like where they are. They are hiding under just a thin layer of fat, but they are there! My goodness, you are working hard. I gotta thank you, cuz you are making me press on! Seeing those photos you posted truly is making me very much want to press on! Thank you.

[Determinedtolose]

Hi,
I hope you don't mind me asking some questions about these products.
I'm interested taking them and want to make sure that all the products listed on the first post are the ones that we are supposed to take?

Thanks for a response!!!
Diana

[ADLMA]

Yes, those are the ones. . .the combo. Someone like Trish or Lisa can help you with the dossage. It is not what is on the bottle, and the two of them are great at figuring it out! GLA/CLA.

[Determinedtolose]

So there are 4 total?

[ADLMA]

I take Now Borage Oil - 4 and Tonalin CLA - 5. It depends on the brand and such.
