yeah

My neck is still causing me to feel dizzy and sometimes it even hurts, but now that i know for sure what it is, it doesnt bother me as much. I have just started biking to work and have eaten a lot less and a bit healthier again this week. Sunshine is a good energizer.
I didnt gain weight, or at least no more than 2 pounds during my bad weeks so at least that's positive.
I'm alone this weekend and I have planned not to buy food, at least not much. If I go shopping for food just for me, I get a bit carried away and end up buying too much and also eating it all. So I plan to stay out a lot and drink water (and cider tonight).
I just met 2 world class athletes.. made me so jealous. The girl is so pretty and so thin and probably not very poor..

Hmmm...

Well, I haven't been doing too badly. With all the problems with my knees my workouts had gotten less intense. Now that I have knee sleeves, and am getting some inserts for my shoes, I want to bump it back up again.
Sarah and I are walking for 25 min at lunch, and I want to start waking up early to make sure to do my physical therapy, and perhaps go for a short jog. We'll see if that happens, I guess my schedule is freeing up a bit. I am thinking about getting an unlimited paddling membership at a shop by Lake Mendota, so that I can go take out a kayak a couple times a week. That would be a nice upper body work-out, and if i did that a few times a week on top of my normal workouts, hopefully that will push me to the next level. I know I should diet too...but that is SO hard for me.

My main motivation is that I'll be in Michigan around the 4th and I was thinking about stopping by to visit the club I used to work at from 2002-2005, but when I started there I was at least...30-40lbs lighter. I know I won't get there by July, but it'd be nice to be on my way, and at least to be better in shape.

How are you guys doing? Annika, are you feeling better?

me

Ive been feeling quite horrible for sometime now. That's why I've not been eating right or exercising much. I've tried my best but I still think I've eaten far too much.
Now that I know it's just my neck causing problems I can get back on track and stop stressing over it.
My bus card expires today and I didn't reload it so it's back on the bike for me. Glad they're promising summery weather for next week. That helps a lot. And since I can't afford another 2 massages it's good to get active again.

Havent dared to step on a scale for ages. I'll go when I'm good and ready but that's not going to be for a while now.

Good to hear you're getting results Sheena

Under 180!

Hooray, I am finally under 180. Only 179, but that's a big milestone! I'm sure it will still fluctuate, but I am excited that it keeps slowly coming off. I'm doing something right, which is good cause I'm so bad at dieting, so it's good to know that working out actually works! I'm sure eventually I'll plateau and have to diet a bit, but I will cross that bridge when I come to it!

How are you guys doing?

california, here i come!

...well, hopefully. i want to go to california in july this year. it'll be 3 years since the summer i lived there. i'm hoping to be a little more fit by then, too!

here's an interesting article that i found on cnn.com: http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/diet.fitness/05/05/lkl.celebrities.weight/index.html

i like how they emphasize being fit for health reasons rather than for looks. :)

hope your days are going well!
