Becky, Take care of that ankle. I had a really bad sprain about 8 years ago. No one told me the grade of the sprain, but I was on crutches for months. I also tried to do too much too soon, and I didn't do myself any favors. It didn't help I had people saying "You're still hobbling around...

Good Morning Y'all, Well not exactly. :p Yawn! Yesterday was FitTest#4. Wahoo.. That went really really well. I was ready for MIC right after, but I didn't have time. Today was MIC. I started off good, but hit the wall .. no crashed into the wall is more like it. I did some self talk...

Good Morning All, I just finished CC&B. I finally made it through the left side on hip burners and made it to the last 5 seconds on the right. A testament to HH. ;) I got cocky and continued the shoulder burners until the timer on the screen went to zero after Shaun T had everyone stop. :p...

Ughh,, somehow posted this before changing the title. I wish you had the ability to delete newly started threads.

Good Morning All, Overall I've been doing good. I did get distracted when I was eating dinner on my own (the DH was gone that night). I was reading and noticed I was no longer hungry. I was planning on getting up and putting away the approx. 1/4 cup chili left in my bowl for later...

Good Morning, It is a great Friday CA and MCC are done and my PowerTower should arrive today!! I was nervous about CA since it's been a few weeks since I've done it. It wasn't as bad as I remembered. Again not easy, but I was expecting worse. :p I'm looking forware to CC&B...

Lori, First of all {hugs}. Secondly anyone finishing up a 6 month rotation of STS is certainly NOT a failure. It doesn't sound like you feel like a failure during the workouts, you just don't pull them out to do them. When I do my next rotation of STS, I'm not sure if I'll be up to doing...

Opps. Double post.

Clango, You may have been onto something. I was much better today. I was a wee bit hungry first thing, but I had a cherry tomato and I was good for my workout (a less intense workout mind you). I do not eat sweets much, and I had a small piece, but it was a eclair tort (pudding, graham...

Good Morning, Just a fly-by check-in. I did YL:HH and then MR. This was my first time with MR since I slept in last week :(. I'm really glad I started out with HipHelper. ;) My right hip is still much tighter then my left. MR is a good "burner" workout. My tri's were burning on the...

Yes that was rude of them, but I also agree that you may be channeling your grief into the flowers. You probably don't always get quite as upset when people are rude, but your emotions are heightened which is completely normal and expected. Your in-laws are probably (or at least hopefully) in...

Is your hair curly? Is it overly dry? Do you blow dry it? There are many things that can promote frizzy hair if you're prone to it. The type of shampoo and conditioner may not be the full answer to the problem.

Becky, I agree with Sandra, I think the MickyD's experience will be a good one in the long run. It gave you a memory of not enjoying the food you ate to pull out and use the next time you're hungry, in a hurry and pass a fast food place. I woke up hungry and have less energy today. I felt...

Good Morning, Whoa, MIP, I'm tired because that was tough. I woke up hungry (I'm playing around with my eating habits). I did have 1oz of an energy gel (about 90 calories) and that did seem to kick in the second round of the 1st circuit and the endorphins kicked in. However, I started to lose...

Clango, I have used canned spagetti sauce about 3 times in my entire life. Each time I ended up doctoring it up anyway, so I just have always made my own. To me, making spagetti and sloppy joe sauce and so on takes so little extra time and tastes so much better. I have to admit making sauce...

Woot Woot, MIC is done. I feel great. I'm amazed at how much more powerful I feel when doing this workout compared to the first time. Jennifer, Send that angel over my way once you're done with the series. I may need her in my final week too. Oh technically it's 2-1/2 weeks for me...

I did the first 32 minutes of the HipHelper practice workout during lunch. That felt really great. So a big thanks to Sandra for the recommendation. I don't remember if she's back today or Wednesday? Becky, the mud run sound like fun, but 4 miles? I hope the obstacles are either all at...

Becky, Good job!! Baby steps are crucial. We all crawl before we walk and this journey will be different for all of us. I AM actually planning what I will eat for meals. I'm just not going to measure and require that I finish up what I have planned to eat. I'll start with a smaller...

Wow, I just had my very first professional color and highlight. The cut and color with highlights (they were very subtle like I asked for so they were more like lowlights) came to $88. I tipped her $15, so it was just over $100. I just went in and had it done having no idea what it would...

Good Morning All, The weekend is over and it's time to get back into the grind. I did good yesterday. :D I only had two beers total for the day (instead of the 4 limit I gave myself). I ate reasonably from the buffet table by only selecting the beef sandwiches and the grape salad and not...
