I am right there with you! Get well soon! I guess I can be thankful that I got it now and not a few days before my surgery in January. I have some time to recover. I hate being sick though and it happens so rarely these days. I think this might be the first cold I have had in 2.5 years since my surgery.

If you can find a salt water pool, any money you may have to pay extra is well worth it. I did all of my PT and exercising in such a pool. It was wonderfully free feeling and effective.

Valentina, I'm lucky to find an indoor pool within 15 miles, period.

Living in the Catskills, I know what you're talk'n about. I have to drive 80 miles to reach the salt water PT pool, but I do it because I feel I can do more and feel better when I do. With my Fibro, OA, RA, and DJD, I consider my pool time as my treat to myself. Good luck with your exercise program. Be kind to yourself as well as "work'n it".

Great time for a simple cup of tea and a sizzling hot novel. Can't hurt.

I second Valentina's suggestion. I have this problem every month before shark week.

Yeah... I'm down to the point that I have to hit a resale shop or something, Virtually every top I have is almost ridiculously huge. I'm lucky that I hung onto pants/jeans because I've always been AWFUL to fit in pants... VERY curvy with a HUGE difference between hips and waist, in addition to being tall. So I'm set probably until I get pretty close to goal for bottoms, but tops are much more of an issue than I'd thought they'd be. LOL. I HATE clothes shopping. But right now I have almost no clue what size I'm wearing or what will look good on me, so I guess it's to the shops I go.

Wow! You look great! And I mean that in the most platonic way possible. Keep up the good work.

you look great! i didn't have the balls to do the bra and shorts pic. even my hubby said I should wear the same thing in every pic for my progress photos...oh well.

oooo! so excited for you! looking forward to knowing the "when"

Awesome!

Congrats.

Oh, I'm sorry. I used to have terrible migraines and I know the 'hangover' well. I hope the rest of your day is better

Ugh! Hope it has passed!

Yeah. I've been bad about drinking my water the last couple of days and it's catching up with me. I guess one good thing about migraines is they let me know when I'm not eating and drinking enough before it reaches a level where I need medical intervention. (Yes, I'm a silver lining kind of person! LOL)

I love my chiro and swim time! (all these companies "talk" about work - life balance, but no one wants to give a longer weekend.........)

You will totally get the hang of it in a weeks or three. I drank a lot of 50/50 water Gatorade (not G2! blech!!). I couldn't drink plain water at all. I also poured my protein drinks over 20oz of crushed ice. It made them MUCH more palatable and I got in an extra 20oz of water.

Yeah, I mixed it up today because I feel like I'm coming down with a cold... drank some chicken bouillon and that really did the trick... sucked down 8oz of that in about 30 min, and then turned around and sucked down another 8 oz of water in the next 30 min. Guess I either needed something hot, needed the salt, or needed something different. So I'll hit my goal today for fluid, no problem. I was starting to get mildly dehydrated, so it's good timing.

I totally get the needing to change things up with warm and cold, sweet and savory. For me it is the only way to get it all in.

Glad you are doing so well. Congratulations!

Good for you!!

What an awesome nsv!

Buy new jeans! You deserve them.

Do you wear a stabilizer? My girls and I have to when we practice martial arts and do our kickboxing class. It's a huge help.

I haven't been, but I probably should until I get the stabilizer muscles built back up.

wonderful.... i started at a 18-20.... now im a 4-6

OMG! That's gotta feel good! Congratulations!

I'll never see single digit clothing sizes. When I was my thinnest in college (which has never been a sustainable weight for me) I was in a 10 jean. I'll be happy to get back to a 16 and beyond thrilled to get to a 12-14.
