Jane- I don't have any other plans for my birthday. The movies were super fun. I really like action movies with lots of graphics. There was a bit of 11 year old boy potty humor, so be forewarned. The only other thing I might do is I might buy some running shoes. I try to buy shoes two times a year, one pair for birthday and one for Christmas.
I took yesterday as a rest day. I am so sore from my yoga practice on Monday. Ouchie. Sarah Kline kicked my butt and my arms and my pectorals!! I will probably do a tai chi workout today. I love workouts that I can do without shoes.
Tricia-Did you get a workout today? What kind of yummy raw food is on the menu for today?

Hi ladies!
My evenings have been so full! Sorry I haven't posted! Here, I'll fill you in on my week, then I'll do another post to follow up on everyone's week!
Raw food journey day 3! So far, so good and very yummy! Made an un-stir fry and parsnip rice last night for dinner and it was delicious! Had enough left over for lunch today. Tonight, was marinated mushrooms and satay sauce. My favorite so far! I had a watercress and pear soup for lunch yesterday. I was a bit skeptical, but it was delicious!
I'm not starving and the food has been fantastic! I'm really enjoying this!
I had a bad night last night though. I had made biscuits on Sunday morning for breakfast. I didn't have regular butter, so used my vegan butter. Stephen didn't like them and gave his second one to Milo. I don't remember that, but last night, he used one to give the pups their medicine and he reminded me about Sunday. He didn't make me feel bad, but I felt awful. I'm very hard on myself when something doesn't come out right. So, I went through this whole - maybe we should just go back to eating crap thing and, I guess, pouting. I just made myself feel so horrible about that one silly little thing that I was lying in bed thinking, "Who am I kidding? I should just give up this raw food thing. I'm never going to be able to keep it up, much less make a business out of it later." I was really down on myself.
I feel better today, but, man, last night I just hated myself.
Whew! It's really hard doing this with Stephen. I spend my evenings getting my workouts done, then I prep my food, fix something for Stephen when he's home and by the time I sit down, I just don't think to get on here and catch up. I'm on Facebook while watching tv. I have an old laptop that I'm using now, but I can't pull it out because Peanut needs her cuddle time and I can't get Cathe's app for the iPad to work anymore. Not sure what's up with that.
Anyway, I really am enjoying the food! I haven't craved sweets yet, but have several raw recipes to draw from when I do.
I have worked out every day so far. Started STS last night and completed 2 runs! Can't wait to see what the scale says on Friday!

Alisha - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I know it's tomorrow, but just in case I don't get on here! 
Glad your ear didn't get too bad and got better fast. What are tings? I so rarely have nightmares! It must have been really bad!
Did you like Jack the Giant Slayer? The guy on the radio didn't like it, but he doesn't like much.
Jane - Yes. $2.97 for organic kale is ridiculous! It's $1.99 here. Conventional kale is 99 cents. Berries are very pricey right now. I bought frozen, but they're just not the same. I think I will just splurge next time.
Cool that you get a plaque! Interesting way to do lots of races! I would love to be alone at work! Ah, peace and quiet . . .

Tricia- There is a part of you that was waiting for a reason to quit. Thats why you berated yourself, that part of you wanted you to quit and to give up. I don't know why, but that is the core of it.
There is more than one way to deal with this:
1. You can do a meditation to get in and talk to that part of yourself, give it love, understanding, and explain that you want something different for yourself. This is my personal favorite because its extremely fast. It just cuts right to the chase, you might like (I hope that this doesn't weird you out, I know that you have done meditations, so I think it might be up your alley.) Ariel's Druidic Craft of the Wise Meditations podcast, episode 'Resolving Inner Conflict'. The good news is that its free!!! And it only takes 25 minutes.
2. or, you can recognize the fact that beating yourself up only leads to failure and that kind of feeling will always produce weight gain because you just gave yourself a dose of cortisol (which we both know causes weight gain.) At that point if you continue to go down this road you need to ask yourself why you want to fail. I suspect that this may go back to the fact that you had hoped that life (especially your finances) would be different and that life has let you down and now you want to have the only treat that you get to have and life can just kiss your butt. But, on the other hand, you have another part of yourself that wants to succeed at weight loss and you feel that the only way you can get there is through all or nothing thinking and self recrimination (thats why you are always looking for 'all raw' or 'all STS' or all some other program.).
3. or, you can go the Jillian Michaels life coach route which would be to ask what pattern are you repeating from your childhood where it made more sense to be guilty than it made sense to move on and live at a reasonable response? I know that part was poorly worded, but I hope that you get where I am going with this. You might check out her book 'Unlimited' from the library.
4. Or, you were tired, at the end of your rope, your mind was going to find something to be down about, and that was what came up. I call these 'dementors' like in Harry Potter. I get them. They are usually associated with weight loss (which you are doing), the lunar cycle (the moon is highly influential on my mood), and my hormones. They can be treated in the short term with a healing meditation or a lavendar bath, an epsom salt bath, solar spectrum light bulbs, and or a zinc lozenge. The brain can get into a loop, repetitive thinking is similar to a migraine, and I know that you get those. That means that you are short on zinc. Don't argue with me here and say 'I get enough with my raw diet' if you were getting enough you wouldn't feel like this. I'm not trying to pick a fight but you need to look at all avenues to sort through this stuff (its easy to give up and drown in the muck.)
I hope that you are feeling better soon. I hope that my approaches are not too 'solving the problem'. I have been there, I get there every so often. I grapple with dementors too. The best solution is a little bit of chocolate (according to JK Rowling!).
Hugs.

Tricia ~ {{{Hugs}}}. Go easy on yourself girl. You learn by making mistakes. I don't think you should give up on the raw thing. It's hard with all the prepping and planning. So just do your best and don't stress about it.
I didn't realize the price of kale but since I can't get it where I live I will continue to buy the organic stuff. I really like it and it's good for me so I'll keep up with the organic kind. I seem to spend more money on good food than anything else. At least the organic kale is cheaper than a bag of chips!
Great job on your workouts and running. Keep up the good work!
Alisha ~ How is the birthday girl today? Enjoy your special day. Put your feet up and relax!

Alisha - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ALISHA . . . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!
Hope you've been having a wonderful birthday!
I am much better today! Thank you for your honesty and insights. I appreciate that you are always able to get right to it. I have not given up on my raw food challenge. I am really enjoying it. I will find a balance that works for me, but I'm determined to get through this 30 days! The food is delicious so it's not that. Maybe a little afraid of success? I have never succeeded at anything.
I have no illusions that I'm getting all my nutrients yet through raw food. I'm not to that level as yet. I do know that if I take zinc I get really nauseous! I'm supposed to be doing a Deepak Chopra meditation challenge right now, but I have yet to get 15 minutes to do it!
Today, I had to make a "quick" stop at the pet store for kitty litter and dog food. There was no one there and I got in and right out. Came home, changed, put the pups out, changed clothes for my work and by the time I got started it was almost 6 already. Stephen got home at 6:30 and he had work to do, so he fended for himself and warmed up his dinner. He lovingly thought about me and went ahead and poured me a glass of wine! It was there when I went to fix my dinner.
I still felt a bit overwhelmed tonight. Luckily, I have enough raw leftovers for tomorrow. I only need to prep me some strawberry chia pudding for breakfast.
Maybe I'm a little manic-depressive? Eh, who knows. It's all good. I will do that meditation you recommended. Thank you so much Alisha!
Hi Jane - Thanks! I feel better today. I, too, pay a little more for better food. I do that more with fruit than anything, but I should probably do it at least with my greens since I eat so many of those.
Tonight, even though I got a bit of a late start, I did STS Back and Triceps. I'll run tomorrow.
I'm grumpy that we went from 53 to 34 degrees overnight. More winter temps and another storm coming through early next week. Hopefully, just rain. I'm so ready for summer! I think I'd be happy with more than one sunny day! Maybe I need a sun lamp too?
Thanks for listening to my yammerings. You two are the only ones I really have to talk to. With any luck, I'll be below 145 by Monday! I'm at 145.2 and I haven't seen anything below 147 in ages! Progress!
Have a great night you two! See you tomorrow!

Tricia- I hope I gave you enough loves, not just 'type L' solutions. I was raised by an engineer, so I'm sure that was his influence. I can't take just zinc tablets, I always have a lozenge instead and always with a bite of something. Otherwise I get sick to.
Thanks for the Happy Birthday!!

I am taking another rest day. I have to get to bed early because we have a longish drive to our race tomorrow morning but I'm really looking forward to it. Jean and I are hoping that there won't be anyone in our age group (there wasn't last year) and we will both get awards. They give them to the top 2 in each age group.
Alisha ~ Happy post-birthday! Hope you had a fun day.
Tricia ~ I understand how you want things to be perfect or to do things perfect. I am the same way. I used to get that way every time I missed a workout. I would get so down on myself but I got that all worked out now.
Believe it or not it is still chilly here for this time of year. It was in the mid 30's this morning! Although it looks like we are done with the chilly weather until the fall. It's looks like the highs will be in the 70's next week with the lows in the 50's. That is more normal.
Have a great Friday!

Hi ladies!
Jane - Good luck tomorrow! I know you and Jean will do great even if there are a few others! I still think you two will take 1st and 2nd! Have a safe trip!
Alisha - Not sure what you mean by type "L" solutions. My dad was a Marine and my mom a housewife until later in life. Hope you had a good day and got a hike or yoga or something in!
I ended up having a rest day today. I pinched a nerve in my right hip today somehow at work and was limping every time I got out of my chair. I have been slow all week and sitting on my arse a lot more than usual and I'm sure that had something to do with it. I'll be making up my run tomorrow and doing legs on Sunday.
It's all still good. I'm loving the food! 5 days raw complete as of today and I made a small batch of raw brownies! I ate just the little bit in the bottom of the bowl after rolling my brownie balls and it tasted so sinfully delicious! Took about 5 minutes too!
My dinner looked like it wouldn't be enough to fill me, but it turned out more filing than I thought! It was just spinach and ribboned carrots with a light dressing. That's it. It was delicious and I never got hungry again. Didn't even touch the brownies!
We're going couch shopping tomorrow and depending on how long that takes I may go get my hair cut. It's so long and getting to difficult to manage in the shower and to get into and out of a pony tail when I work out.
It was freezing today! I hate when we go from warmer to freezing like this! Yikes! I get all geared up for spring and then BAM, here's winter back again! Only in the low 40s for the next few days, then rain on Tuesday. Hopefully no snow! I want Jane's weather!
That's about all that's up today.
Sleep well!

Evening ladies!
We spent most of today looking at couches to make a decision on what we wanted. Chose a beautiful leather couch and it is being delivered tomorrow! So, I didn't get a run in and we ate out for lunch. I have no problem with that. It's only one meal in 6 days! I'm very proud of my success so far! I made a raw chili and rice tonight for dinner. It made a TON! I'll be living on leftovers for a few days which is good because I won't have to make lunches next week for a few days. I did have 2 raw meals today which is way better than what I normally eat on the weekends.
Last night I made the raw brownies and I've only eaten one! I can control myself with raw sweets even when they're amazingly delicious better than I can with regular sweets. I think it's because the food is so satisfying and filling.
Tomorrow I'll be doing my leg workout STS Disc 3 and pick up with running on Monday.
Right now, we're watching Silent Hill Revelation. This is the sequel to the first movie and they've completely jacked up the plot. Oh, well. It's entertaining!
Hope you two had a lovely day! We're still really cold and I can't wait for summer! Oh, I think I said that already. Well, get used to it, until it warms up, I'll probably be saying it a lot! lol

Never got my leg workout in, but we got our couch! It was delivered this morning. Watching The Man With the Iron Fists with Russell Crowe! Hysterical! Back on the agenda tomorrow! Working in legs is hard for me as I hate leg work so much, Gotta get that going.

Happy Monday!
I had a busy weekend...again. I got up early and took a ride to Jesup, GA to run a 12K. The 12K started at 9:30 so it was great to be able to drive that far and not get up too early. It was a small race. Jesup is in the middle of nowhere and the money went towards the cross country team at the high school. I hope they can use some of the money on their track. It was really bad. Anyway I stayed with my sister because she was afraid she was going to get lost - she almost took the 1 mile route instead of the 5K route. We ran an outer loop then came back and ran the 5K route twice. I left her at mile 4 and booked it but did not make a PR. Oh well...still I took 2nd in my age group and got a medal. Jean came in third but but did not get a medal because they only gave them out to the top 2 in each age group. We finished on the track which was nice and brought back memories of my high school track days. We drove home and then my sister came over and we watched an old classic movie called "Once Upon A Time in the West". Henry Fonda is excellent in is as an evil killer and a very HOT Charles Bronson. Long movie but really great in terms of the directing. Loved it.
On Sunday I did the following workout:
1/2 Mile Run
50 Push ups
1/2 Mile Run
50 Swings
1/2 Mile Run
50 Slam Balls
1/2 Mile Run
50 Tire Flips
1/2 Mile Run
Then did another 1/2 mile with my sisters
I spent the rest of the day at mom's.
Today will be a squat workout. I'm not sure if I will do 8 or 9 rounds.
Tricia ~ I'm glad you are doing great on your eating. That is the toughest and you know what they say, weight loss is 90% diet. Congrats on the leather couch. It sounds nice. Did you get your hair cut?

My weekend was spent in Fairfield which is right next to Travis Airforce Base (about 52 miles west of Sacramento.) Thats where my Dad's new job is and we are looking for apts for him. Its not a great area, lots of drug dealers around. Bleh. I finished 'A wizard of Mars' and now I'm looking for my next book series. I took yesterday as a rest day because it was Sunday. I like to rest on Sundays, but we went over to a college to do an ADA inspection and voila there was a car swap and I had the hots for a Mercedes Kompressor. The only issue with them is they need expensive up keep. They only wanted 12,500 for it. I might take it. Maybe. . .
I did yoga this morning. I hope to get a kickbox workout this evening before bed. I didn't get up early enough to do a cardio workout this morning. I will workout tomorrow.
I will catch the personals later,

Happy Monday-is-Over!
Jane - Congrats on the race! I'm sure you would have PR'd, but it was nice that you helped your sister stay on the right path! Don't know if I remember Once Upon a Time in the West, but I'm sure I did. My dad used to watch all those movies and I sat there with him watching along. Thus, my love of westerns, action flicks and cop movies! lol
Can't believe you did that workout the day after your 12K!
I did not make it to the hairdresser for a haircut. I really need one! We took so long finding a couch! I'll try to get a picture of it tomorrow so you guys can see it.
Alisha - Ugh. Hope you can find a place in a decent area for your dad to live over there! I'm not familiar with that car, but I hope you make the right decision for you about it! Hope you got the kickbox workout in!
Did pretty decent on my raw food this weekend! Definitely ate better than usual on weekends! No takeout and mostly raw. Today was raw except for dinner. By the time I got my run done, stopped at the store and got home and changed, it was late and I didn't want to sit down after 8 p.m. to eat, so Stephen and I shared fish cakes and baked fries. I'm still happy with how I'm doing! I'm staying mostly raw. I'm on week 2 starting today. I want to get through the 30 days staying as raw as possible and go from there. I think I have finally found the right mix that will work best for me and for Stephen. I will never give up my green smoothies in the mornings! I love them! I want to stay raw for lunches during the week. I think dinners will be cooked - fish mostly with salads, but sushi when I want it and the occasional, but not frequent pizza night or Chinese or eating out. I want to do better with weekends and now that I know I have control, I know I can do it!
Feeling good!
You two have a great night!
Jane - Congrats on the race! I'm sure you would have PR'd, but it was nice that you helped your sister stay on the right path! Don't know if I remember Once Upon a Time in the West, but I'm sure I did. My dad used to watch all those movies and I sat there with him watching along. Thus, my love of westerns, action flicks and cop movies! lol
Can't believe you did that workout the day after your 12K!
I did not make it to the hairdresser for a haircut. I really need one! We took so long finding a couch! I'll try to get a picture of it tomorrow so you guys can see it.
Alisha - Ugh. Hope you can find a place in a decent area for your dad to live over there! I'm not familiar with that car, but I hope you make the right decision for you about it! Hope you got the kickbox workout in!
Did pretty decent on my raw food this weekend! Definitely ate better than usual on weekends! No takeout and mostly raw. Today was raw except for dinner. By the time I got my run done, stopped at the store and got home and changed, it was late and I didn't want to sit down after 8 p.m. to eat, so Stephen and I shared fish cakes and baked fries.

Hi Chicklets,
I took a rest day on Tuesday. Tonight will be a 5K run. I am timing it because it is part of the Run and See Georgia Series. It's called the International Home Run Run and you do a 5K and send in the results. You get Run and See Points and will also get a t-shirt that lists all the cities (from the people that participated) on the back.
Alisha ~ Have you found a place for your dad yet? I hope you find an apartment in a better area.
Tricia ~ I'm glad the raw eating is working for you. Sometimes you have to take little baby steps to get where you want to be. Change takes time and it is a process. I eat better now that I ever have. My diet has evolved over time.
Actually that workout on Sunday felt really good for some reason. I love doing workouts like that. They are intense but really get your heart rate up and work your endurance.
Have to get to work.

Jane- Great job on your workouts. That run sounds like fun.
We have not yet found a place for my Dad.
Tricia- I love action movies too. Great job on your raw diet progress. What you are doing makes total sense to me. I've been getting juices at the co-op, you are a good influence.
Yesterday was not KB but I did a Hi Lo workout instead. I plan to do about 20 min. of Kick box then Jillian's Shred it with Weights which is Kettle bells. So, its double KB I hope to workout tomorrow morning. I don't know what yet.

Evening ladies!
Jane - Nice going on the virtual run! Hope work was okay for you today!
Alisha - Glad I'm doing some good somewhere! lol
I didn't lift last night. Just didn't want to. I did run again tonight. Week 3 Day 3 of Zombies Run 5K. Week 4 is what gave me trouble last time I did 5K training. We'll see how that goes!
Here's what happened to me today. (Jane this is cut and pasted from S&L) Ready to just give it all up:
Had a rough start to my day at work. Walked in and got stopped by the Boss. The receptionist was there and he made us wait for Stacey. We got "talked to" about being late, taking longer than an hour for lunch and getting ready for workouts before 5. Yeah, I felt it was directed at me. I noticed the absence of the worst offender for being late in the mornings - 5-10 minutes almost every day - his girlfriend and our co-worker. She wasn't included in this little talk. Needless to say, that pissed me off. Took all I had not to say something! If I didn't need this job for another 2-3 years, I would have, then I would have gathered my things and walked out.
i HATE my job! I HATE my job! I HATE MY JOB!
Seriously, the receptionist and I were 2 minutes late this morning that's it.We're not late every day and the people who live the closest are late more than the two of us who live the farthest. It's stupid! I understand we work 9-5, but it's also not like we are really busy with too much work to do. I've been twiddling my thumbs for the better part of 2 weeks! Today, I made a 5 minute divorce take 2.5 hours to finish. It wasn't easy! I was typing one letter every two minutes, staring at papers, staring at the screen, etc.
What a shit day.
