WTG Kathy!! Ya'll are doing great!! I'm still watchin' from the sidelines :wink:

Sorry Mac! Hope it feels better soon.

Congrats Renewed! That's great! I love animals, so the mini farm sounds wonderful to me. I grew up with horses. I used to love riding them. Anyway, I'm so happy for ya'll! When will ya'll start building?

Welcome ninner! It really is a great program and this thread is filled with great support and motivation! Congrats on your success! Keep up the great work! The swelling has gone down quite a bit but it's still pretty bruised. My mom brought me a ankle wrap the other day. It feels pretty good when I wear that, but when I take it off it's a lot harder to walk. Originally, I was hoping to be running again by Friday...but I doubt it now .

Thanks luluc. It's getting a little better each day. I hope to be back on my feet soon.

I'm glad you posted that renewed because I forgot to update my ticker this morning. I lost 2 lbs. I was hoping for 5 this week. I did really good up until I sprained my ankle. I haven't eaten that good since and haven't exercised. I can't help but think I would have lost more if I had just ate good on Saturday and Sunday. Oh well...I'll take it. Renewed, good job girl!! I'm sure you gained some muscle from all the running. Keep up the good work!!

Okay, thanks Susan!

Hey guys! My ankle is getting a little better each day. I can walk much better today. DH was calling me peg leg because of the way I was walking, lol. It's still swollen, but it's getting better. Hopefully it won't be too long before I can run again.

Thanks Susan. I thought maybe I was going crazy but I'm glad it's not just me, lol. Thanks again!

I went jogging outside yesterday and I twisted my ankle and fell. It's pretty swollen and sore, so I won't be doing much for a few days at least.

I wish I had a treadmill. I'm probably going to give it until MOnday, and if I still can't walk on it, I might have some xrays done. I thought about going to the ER but I'd be there for hours. Our ER has got to be the slowest on earth, lol. Hopefully it's just a bad sprain.

No, it wasn't icy. Just uneven. I was running around our apartment neighborhood and the pavement is a mess. Since the Y doesn't offer child watch on Saturdays, I knew I wouldn't get a run in if I didn't do it outside while DH was home for lunch because we had plans this evening. I'm such a clutz!

I don't see them anymore. Have they been moved or deleted?

I guess I need to give up on running outside. When my DH got home for lunch today, I decided to run outside and I barely got to .25 miles and I fell! The pavement was uneven where I stepped and I twisted my ankle bad and fell on my knee when I hit the ground. My ankle is really swollen and turning blue. I'm probably going to be out of commission for a few days at least....UGH!!!!

Same for me...I can't keep up with Renewed and Whosya, lol! My goal is to see just how far I can push myself and try to get in as many miles as possible. Let's keep up the good work guys!!

We loved the movie!! I'm ready to see it again, lol. Let me know what you think about it.

Today- 3.38 mile run (no walking today...YAY!) 30 minutes Zumba

I'm on a runners high right now!! I ran 3.38 miles straight today!! It didn't take me as long as I thought it would to bounce back from my exercising break..YAY!! I'm still a really slow runner but endurance is what I'm focusing on. Have a great day ya'll!

LOL Leslie! What a sight that must have been. I've never ventured into the sauna room. I thought about trying it, but I dunno... Today- 2.82 mile run/walk

Renewed and Whosya.....WOW! Ya'll are so close. I can tell this is going to be a close one! I went to the Y this afternoon and was about 1/2 mile into my run and my ipod just shut off completely....I have no idea what happened. Anyway, I finally got it to come back on and I had to start a whole new workout...just my luck, lol. Anyway, I ran 1.5 miles straight and then did walk/run intervals the rest of the time. That's furtherest I ran straight since my 2 month "vacation". I did a total of 2.32 (well 2.82 counting the 1/2 mile that I lost). This is soooo fun and it's keeping me motivated to move!

Okay, I've been playing with this recipe, trying to find a substitute for the pumpkin. Here's what I made today... 1.5 c. reduced sugar yellow cake mix 1.5 c. Cookies and cream Protein powder 10 oz Oikos plain greek yogurt (mixed with a little splenda and vanilla extract) splash of egg subsitute (probably about the same amount as 1 egg) The greek yogurt added 30 more grams of protein. It did give the muffins a teeny tiny bit of tang....not bad though. Overall I thought they turned out well. They were a little fluffier than the others. I liked the flavor of the batch I made with RS brownie mix, but they turned out soooooo dense. I almost PB'ed the last one I ate (and I've only pb'ed twice since being banded). I'm thinking of using SF chocolate pudding next time and see what happens. I love making these though. I freeze them and usually thaw one out in the morning while I'm drinking my coffee. I bet I have 30 in my freezer, lol. Thanks for posting this recipe Mac! I've really enjoyed these little muffins and enjoyed playing around with the recipe.

WTG Kathy!!! Great run!! Question: When ya'll are doing a new workout, on the nike+, do ya'll do a basic workout or distance? I've been choosing basic... Lyn, you will love the nike+!! Good luck on the job!! I'm praying you get it!!

Me too LMJ! I thought she was acting very self-centered and I didn't like her attitude. She insinuated that their friendship was on the line. Her friend seemed a little like a push over too....I dunno, but I got the same vibe. No, I don't think you're reading too much into it. I thought the same thing.

I've been thinking about trying this recipe with meatballs instead of chicken. I would probably add just a little tomato paste to thicken it just a bit. If I try it, I'll let ya'll know how it turns out.

hehe...I have no idea. Can't be too bad though. It may be slightly high in sodium (from the soy sauce), but other than that it should be pretty low in cals. Great to see you posting again girl!
