Gone4Now

Good to know...I guess. Actually, I have noticed that I've been sweating more since starting exercising. I guess there's something to that. Tonight: week #2 of c25k...I'm also going to try to push a little harder to do something else. I feel like collapsing after the running, but it feels so good! Maybe weights. I have 5lb weights that I bought, but don't use. I'll tell myself I will and report back in tomorrow.

Done! :biggrin: I tried to vote again, but it wouldn't let me...sending to friends now.

Yeah...I take all the newbies on the tour here and everytime I go into the gym (open 24 hours) it's full of hard-core people. I ride the van pool, so I can go before/after work, and I hate not taking advantage of it. It's just not practical for me. Oh, well...I have a neighborhood and a treadmill - so no excuses!

GRRR...blocked at work! I'll have to view it at home.

I will be there! :biggrin:

Tuesday night: 5 minute warm up walk 20 minutes of week #2 again (I wussed out at the 3 minutes of running in week #3, so I am re-doing week #2.) :biggrin: 5 minute warm down (?) Then, 10 minutes of stretches. I get really hot and red-faced when I exercise, so it takes a long time to warm down. We have gym at work, but I can't use it because I'd be all icky at my desk for hours. A mini-goal is be able to exercise and not get all red and sweaty. Does that come with losing weight?

Wow. I guess that whole saying, "Cushion for the pushing" made sense. I can't wait until I have: protuding bones, scabs, the chills, and bruises. Sounds awesome. (Actually...there is no sarcasm there. :biggrin: It's the little things that we can delight in when we're at/get to goal.) "Look Ma! Bones!"

This is in my local paper...interesting. I may be driving xcountry until I hit goal. :biggrin: Life's a TripTraveling with Harry Shattuck

Awesome! Thank you! I wasn't going to click on the link to view the next entry, until I saw it was from Alex. I figured it would be insightful. :biggrin:

Answer: Shoot the hostage!

Good for you! :biggrin: The strength is there - we all see it! If you need to, take some time and read through your old posts. Maybe that would help you see how far you've come, and that the strength to do it came all from you.

Yep! Did you know they weigh the same?

Same here...thought it was a glitch, but it kept up. :biggrin: I don't think I like that feature, if it's permanent.

Ezma - I'm so sorry! It seems that our LBT family is hitting some hard times lately. I am thinking of you, and hope you pull through! Tap - I've done really well! I sit there at night and I'm Jones'n for some ice cream, but since it's all gone and DH has been good about not getting more, I can't eat anything. RSG - Bad gym! It's not Bally's is it? I had the same thing happen to me, sorta, where they hit me with a "haveto pay this much" before I could join again. I didn't, and the one I went to ended up closing down. :biggrin: Justice. No smoking! My boss brought in Cookies that her aunt had made. They were rhubarb cookies. I wanted to try them, but ended up spitting it out. The woman is a chain smoker and the cookies tasted like a cigarette. I used to smoke, but that was NASTY. So, it really turned me off from smoking. And, boss and her aunt never noticed because they're used to it. St.Louis - Welcome! Ben and Jerry's is to blame for, probably my left thigh fat...possibly a right thigh...and 1/2 a buttock... :cool2: Sorry for the visual, but I'm weird. I like to look at what I'm eating and think, how much of this have I eaten in my lifetime? Where did it go?

Nah...just a teaspoonful.

Oooh...yes, good one Mac! Moi Importante. (sp?)

...He'd chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

Wooo!!!!!! It's the small things that we take for granted!

Wow...I'm with the posts who said go with the gut. So sorry, though. I would think since he's taken it for 3 years, he'd know "how it works" and if he was going to take one, SHOULDN'T YOU BE TOLD? Geesh.....if it were true, talk about a guy with no foreplay skills. Sorry to make light of your situation, but I think you know the answer. I used to date a guy that would sneak out of bed to watch porn. I was grumpy because HEY, I'M RIGHT HERE. But, he wanted to be alone. But I never trusted him, and things didn't work out for many other reasons. Is this the only trouble you guys have? Is there any other reason that you may not trust him?

No, no...none of that, Ms. Lady at the Top! You can't let anything take away from your strength. YOU CAN DO IT. Want to? Not so much. But, a year from now you'll be far away from this. Where were you a year ago? Two years? Things change and get better, even though you have to go through bad to get there. That's what gets me through hard stuff. "In one year, everything will be different, and a year goes by sooo fast. Blink - and it's gone." So, I guess my half-assed advice is blink a lot. :biggrin:

I'm not very creative, and I can't view the pics at work. I'll go home, though and look. :biggrin: If I can drag out some old poetry, I may get brave enough to post some of it. It's been a long while since I felt compelled to write.

Mine's more of a whimper, but I'm still there! I am stronger than my cravings.

Ahh...BBK! I'm so sorry. Go ahead - SCREAAAAAMMMMMMMM!!!!!! (If you haven't already.)

Fiscal reality...where can I get a dose of that? I'm staring at my coffee cup, wondering if my boss would notice if I slipped some Bailey's into. Then I remembered: I don't have Baileys. Seems all my realities are off whack.

:biggrin: yep. I definitely learned my lesson. I never have paid in advance on anything, and I was like "whoo-hoo!" Darn Whoo-hoo. It gets me every time.
