If you're hungry you can eat 2 apples, they're not very caloric! Or you can eat a low-fat yougurt and put in it pieces of apple or pear.

woohooo! 157.4 - it is finally decreasing! Keep up the hard work photocrazed! yay!

well done chick! and in response to your myspace comment i did in enjoy my swimming thanks - its nice to try something newer once in a while ..running cn get a bit stale for me sometimes.
youre sounding so positive - i really hope these results keep up for you
carry on with the hard work - youre doing amazing

Well, I got some news today, and I'm not sure if it's good or not. I guess it'll have to become something positive. I found out my sister is 10 weeks pregnant. Which can be a good or bad thing, because she's only 18. She has been engaged for about 6 months now, but she isn't married, her boyfriend is still in school (high school I believe), and she is currently unemployed.

I'm somewhat terrified for her. Of course, I'm also somewhat jealous because I have not had any children of my own! This also makes me an auntie for hmmm... the 13th time.

Well, I didn't do as well as I had hoped today calories came in at 1640, I would have been fine had I resisted the cereal snack I had after dinner, but oh well!.
I wasn't even hungry either. I just had some because the hubs was having some. Gotta stop doing this!!

Tomorrow is a new day! Woohoo!

I hope to get in 3 miles on the treadmill tomorrow. Not doing HIIT since I have already done it 4 times since last Wednesday and I'm only working for 2-3 times per week. Tomorrow is plain jane cardio, not that there is anything wrong with it at all!

I'll pick HIIT back up on .. Thursday maybe. =)

My sister is 22 and has a 6 month old baby, when I found out she was pregnant my thoughts were similiar to yours. Scared for her, happy, but yet a little disappointed that my baby sister was having a baby.. before me.. It will all work out and you will be an aunt.. again ? 13 ? wow

heh large families are great!
you can argue with one side and still go visit the other

I got pregnant at 17 and had my first son just after my 18th birthday. I grew up real fast, felt i was trapped for a part of it also.

I think if i had had family that could have helped i would have been a lot better off - but my brothers knew nothing about babies, my sister is handicapped, and my parents were in the throws of divorce at the time.
Now im older im glad that i got it over with young though, so now my oldest is 15 i get to do the teenage stuff i missed out on with him lol.

Probably better to not have kids at such a young age, ive most definatly told my kids not to until they are over 25 at least.

17! wow ... thats like me having a baby now...
i'm so not mature enough and wont be for like the next 10 years haha
congrats on the prospective new member of your family

Happy Valentine's Day...

Do something fun for your heart today

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you have a great day!!

Well, I just had to go and weigh myself this morning, and the battle of the scale continues. It jumped up 1.6 lbs overnight! I did eat a little salt yesterday on my tater tots, so maybe it's water retention or something. I'm not too worried about it. I'll just keep on a truckin'.

Dinner

Dinner killed me! We had neighborhood pizza when 4 couples get together and have dinner and hang out for a while. Since it was a snow day today, and is tomorrow, it was nice, but I ate way too much fattening food.

Total Calories

Exercise 2.11 miles on treadmill w/planned strength training later.
40 sit ups.

I know how you feel about the baby thing. Although, it's just me and my younger sister (she's 2 years younger) and she got married 3 days after she turned 18 and had her first baby a month and a half before she turned 19. Then got divorced, and had her 2nd child (thanks to a one night stand) 2 days after she turned 22. Now she's remarried (for the 3rd time) and between the two of them they have 3 kids, all under 10. Um...how do you figure to support them ALL and yourselves???

I never was worried about the fact that she had them first - I don't want any of my own, but it did kinda bug me that she was married first. And again. And AGAIN. LOL. Especially since the man I call my "hubby" isn't technically. We're not legally married, but we might as well be. However, we've been together (shoot, we've been living together!) longer than all 3 of her marriages combined have lasted so far.

Congrats on the big family! My mom is the oldest of 8.

You're doing awesome with the food and the exercise and your weight is definitely going to go.

My husband and I have been married for about 6 years 4 months, but before then we were together for about 4 years. So we have been together a while; and I know that if we had already had kids that we probably wouldn't be married today. So, I am really glad that we have waited!


I have a question for everyone.

I am starting to get cramping in the arch of my feet when on the treadmill jogging and running. Has anyone else had this problem or know the cause? Am I pushing myself too much? I think it also occurs when I am walking on an incline. .. Is it just that my feet aren't used to doing this type of work?

Maybe its your shoes, and you need better support doing all that work

Don't be discouraged about that weight gain, your working out harder so you will gain a bit but its all muscle

Happy Valentines Day!
