~~MELTERS...It's Friday Already? ~~

Alright, everyone. I've booked all of us non-Californians a charted plane over to Tneah's house. Pack up. Leanne--once we land we'll have our limo make a pit stop at your house and pick you up.

Ice cream and Margarita's at Tneah's house!!! Screw the numbers, guys! Come on!!! We are SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT! We are people! Not numbers. Enough of this balogna. hehe. I love that word. Except I hate the spelling. It should totally be baloney. Totally.
Oops, sorry, got a little off track there...

Back to the big picture. No more scales--and no more BF%! The only thing that matters is margaritas. And ice cream. Yep, that's it. Like I said--pack up. ROAD TRIP TO TNEAH'S TONIGHT!!!

Oh, Tneah, you're making me cry! I was gonna go watch my movie, but wanted to pop back in b/c I wanted to see if anyone had checked back in since I was needing some hugs. (Sniff, sniff.) You're right that I haven't been doing serious weight training for very long (I dabbled with personal trainers in the past, but only stuck with weight-lifting for a few months at a time), but this is still seriously depressing! My DH was trying to tell me the same thing -- to just stick with what I'm doing, and I'll keep seeing more results. He even said to maybe do the testing again once I finish a cycle of STS to see what kind of progress I can make in the next six months or so. Thanks for the hugs and kind words! The only bright spot was that my bone mass was high -- I don't have the exact number here downstairs with me, but it was 1.7 standard deviations above the average, which she said was great. I was worried about that b/c I'm allergic to milk; it doesn't bother me so much now to drink a little, but growing up, I didn't eat or drink a lot of dairy. My mom always tried to make sure that I got calcium in other ways, but I've always been worried about it. I love alternative theories of health/healing, too, and find them so fascinating! Speaking of which, have you done that Bliss Hips DVD yet? How cool that you used to read tarot cards! You never cease to amaze me! SERIOUSLY! :) Are you feeling a bit better tonight after those dumb housekeepers' comments? Hope so! And definitely attack that DH in his sleep . . . or maybe feed him some chocolate and oysters to get him going! ;-) Love you, too, chica!


Oh, Allie, you are SO awesome and so positive! :) We were posting at the same time, so I had to come back and say COUNT ME IN! Lots of ice cream and margaritas for all of us! Woo-hoo! Road trip, ladies! LOVE the idea!! :)

>Back real quick, when I compared myself to Brenda I simply
>meant it looks like she is built more sturdy and builds muscle
>like I do, its probably hard for her to be really super lean
>like Jai or Cathe!I hope you guys know I totally did not mean
>to sound bitchy at all! I love me some Brenda I do.:7

Of course you didn't sound bitchy at all! You don't have a mean bone in that sleek bod of yours! :)
 
Wow, I've been out stuffing my face with burritos and carrot cake while you have all been having terrible days. GROUP HUG!!!!

Tneah, your housekeepers are either a)jealous or b)ignorant or c) both of the above. No way someone who sees you once a week would ever notice a 3 pound increase. You are funny, sexy, smart, beautiful, generous etc, etc. Fire them!

Kara, so sorry about the friggin door. I hope the rains hold off.

Leanne, hugs, hugs, and more hugs. Please try to remember it is just a number. Just like the scale. You are fit, you are slim, you are beautiful, you are smart, you are loved. OK?

Lainie, I hope your braces start to feel like nothing soon. Know what I mean?

Allison, great personals! I'm glad you decided to be cool.

(Me? Cool? Snort!)

I'm pooped again and am heading for bed. Maybe I'll see some of you tomorrow, while I'm slaving away and you are all enjoying your weekends! Goodnight, good friends.
 
Wow, I can feel the Melty love tonight.

Leanne, it's a good thing I love you or I would probably be wanting to smack you for saying you're fat. You're so tiny! You want fat, come lift up my shirt, chica. I also agree with Tneah that the longer you lift, the better it will get. Of course, I'm not speaking from personal experience there since I'm a bit of an inconsistent lifter.

Tneah, if you're a Brenda I'm a Cedie--only heavier and much less fit than she is. I understand she is also pretty small in person but she has that rounder look with boobs and booty. Girl is seriously fit, though.

Allison, I would probably seriously consider that road trip if only I had some place to dump my little boys. Oh, that sounds bad. Not really dump--I mean some nearby loving grandparents who would coddle them for me. We should at least meet up some time since we're technically not that far away. Are you going to one of the RTs?

Robin, hmm, burritos and carrot cake? That kind of diet might help with my little "problem".

Oh, and as for my teeth, I had cereal tonight and it still hurt. It was Fiber One, but it was the Caramel Delight version (the sweetest and softest Fiber One). I let it sit in the milk awhile but it was still too hard on my little teefies. x( I still fought through the bowl of it so that I could get some good fiber.

You know, I really planned to get on the Open forum tonight as well but I've been spending my time here instead. Maybe I'll still get over there.

Leanne,
I'm sorry the *number* was a disappointment, but you are sooooo awesome and, as Allison said, so much more than a number. First of all, you are strong and incredibly fit. You work out like a fiend AND you enjoy it! You are so kind, supportive, inspirational, affirming, interesting -- these are the things that matter, and these are the things that make you you!!! You are healthy and your DH thinks you look great! Get yourself that sexy dress from Ann Taylor and forget the number!

I wish I was close enough to come get you and go see the chickiest chick flick out right now, but my long distance {{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}} will have to suffice!
 
Oh yes! You are all invited to Sin City...*dances around singing* "party at my house, party at my house"..:7 And Robin, you can come only if you promise to bring along your carrot cake!:7 heehee...Happy Birthday one more time...I had carrot cake on my b-day too, wow we have great taste don't we?

Much love to you all, nighty night!
 
Aw, big group {{{{HUG}}}}, everyone! You gals are THE BEST! Hooray for a party at Tneah's house! Isn't it funny that our plans for livin' it up in Sin City involve a good chick flick, some carrot cake, food, ice cream, and MORE food?!:) Doesn't take much to make us gals happy, does it?!

Kristi -- You are such a sweetheart! Thank you so much for the long-distance hugs! They mean so much! I feel so silly even complaining about such a stupid meaningless thing when it's really so unimportant in the grand scheme of things. Thinking about things like Shelley's sister and Todd's awful experience puts things in perspective really quickly, and I get so mad at myself for getting so caught up in some stupid number. Thanks for the support! :) How is your foot feeling? Did you end up watching _A Mighty Wind_ tonight?

Allie -- Are you still on your way to get us all to go to Tneah's? :) When are you going to get here, girl? I've got a big bowl of ice cream here waiting for you.

Robin -- Hope we didn't bring down your b-day evening! I'm so glad that you had a fab dinner and dessert! Did you get extra guacamole on that burrito? Yummy!:9 Hope that tomorrow at work isn't too dreadful!

Lainie -- You're such a sweetie, and thanks for the kind words! You are *not* heavy, and we all just need to work a bit harder to be happy where we're at, right?! I know you're not happy with the bit of weight creep you've been having, but you've had so much going on lately, and I know that once you get back into the swing of things, you'll feel better and get that melting going again. I'm definitely a Cedie, too, but I'm not quite lucky enough to have as much boobage as you! ;-) Glad you got that fiber down, babe. Your poor teefies might not have liked it, but your tum-tum will probably thank you tomorrow!

Hope the rest of our Melty ladies are all doing well! I keep having visions of poor Kara with that missing door in the storm, and hope that they were able to get it put in alright!
 
HI everyone! I am happily heading to Tneah's!!!! :)

The door is partially in...and DH is about to lose it. He is trying to pick a fight with me to vent or something and it is really stressing me out. x( This is so NOT fun!

Anyhoo, Leanne, congratulations on your bone density! Be proud of that! And you are not fat in any way, shape, or form. Tneah and Lainie are right when they say that weight training will only bring you more and more results. Just be patient. I know just how you feel about numbers, etc. In fact, I just sold my Polar F11 HRM because I knew if I began to use it I would become a slave to the calorie burn. I didn't want to risk not doing some of my favorite workouts because they didn't burn as many calories as other ones. I always remind myself that exercise is a life-long habit/journey and should be enjoyed. You have accomplished so much this year! Remember that! :) {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Lainie--I love your pic. Your hair color is beautiful and you look so young! I am so sorry that the braces are bothering you. I hope you feel better soon.

Speaking of ice cream...I had 2, yes, 2 McDonald's cones this evening after my pizza. I love ice cream. :)

Hi to everyone else! I hope you are having a fun evening!

Take care!

Kara :)
