OK buddy where are you?  How is it going?  Post please, miss ya bunches.  

Oh I've had many an adventure in the French quarter.. just seems like a lifetime ago now.  I've been to a few Marti Gras.. kinda like a huge frat party there.. but I have a lot of good memories from them.  The food is just amazing and you are so right about the architecture.  I bet things are just wild there with the Super Bowl and all.. out of control, no doubt.  So how did the SepcialK go?

So 4 pounds at your size is just incredible!  You really need to be proud of yourself.  I checked out your blog.  First you are fun, funky and beautiful just the way you are now and your boyfriend is just gorgelicious.  You two a are very irresistibly adorable couple, looking perfect for each other and sounding that way too.  When you do lose the weight you want.. watch out!

I hope my love for the Wii Fit doesn't die off.. it is a lot of fun.  I use the run program on the Wii Fitness Plus; I use the Free Run, set it for 30 min, strap it on the remote and jump on the treadmill.  Kinda gives me a little more motivation to stay on that thing.. treadmills can get boring.  I have a nice treadmill; I need to use it.  I'm using it more this time in the 5k training to try to absorb some of the pressure of my foot.  Today is just WALK in my 5k training... that will be tough, because I WANT to run soooo bad, I want to push myself.. but that is how I ended up with an injury.  I'm going to stick to the three days a week running until I can do the 5k.  I need to build up the right muscles.  this is a big goal for me, and I want it so bad I can taste it.  So, I need to follow the professional's advice, stick to the plan man!

I think the SpecialK challenge sounds great, and if you stick to JUST what they tell you to eat.. you will see results quick I'm sure of it. About this site.  We all take what we need from it.  Some log in everything, use all their great features.. but me.. I'm here for the support, buddies like you.  I needed the GROUP.  I write my food journal on a little notebook pad.  I use the exercises on my Wii.. I chart my weight on my page not in the SF chart.  I use my page for journaling my feelings too.. this helps me.  I need to check out your blog speaking of that.. I've never poked into it.. I don't use the SF drinks all the time either.. I jump around on my "plan."  Switch it up, and maybe if you really like the SpecialK challenge, I may have to try it.. I love my cereals.  Have a great week, keep me posted, and get on the Wii and throw some exercise into your days!

crap did I miss the one pound loss announcement.. had a card and everything :)  that is super amazing.  I've done 0 for two weeks.. my own bad, but hate to see just the same.   I'm struggling with getting into the routine of my Wii Fitness as well.  Today I kicked butt in it and I feel better for doing it.  I've had a dream to run a 5k.. I was doing well.. then as you know how things can get.. let it slip away.. injury & laziness combined.  well I'm about to have a birthday.. and it was a goal I had set last birthday.. so like most things I do, procrastination is one of my greatest skills.. I'm going to start training in hopes to complete a run the weekend before my birthday.  I like the added preasure to it all.. makes it more exciting.  I'm sure I can WALK the 5k.. but I want to be able to jog the entire course.  Wish me luck.  Also good luck with the SpecialK challenge... I love cereal.  All types.. luv it luv it

For a Christmas present to myself I'm out visiting all my buddies, wishing you the best of the season, hope it is filled with much happiness.  Last time I checked on you, you were doing OK.. dealing with the holiday temptations as we all are.  I'm finally back on the computer and wanted to pop by and see how my buddy is doing.  Peace Coni

Just checking on my buddy.  Things have been out of control around my house.. no internet really.. BUT the move is this weekend, should be back to normal.  HOW ARE YOU???  seeing there is not a lot of posting going on with you.  Hope all is well and you had a great Thanksgiving.  Peace Coni

Oh look at you go!   I love it, jumped right into the program, doing it all the right ways.  Posting journals, I did enjoy reading, keeping a food journal, and exercising, eating right.. I’m so proud of you.  Look at the weight falling off too, so very happy to read posts like that.  I’m not doing my best.. going to have a better weekend.. kinda “fell off the wagon” as they say.  I tend to drink and binge eat when I’m stressed.. and I thought I was stronger than that.. I see I have a lot to work on still.  Thanks for checking on me.. and fyi, I’m not giving up.. this is a marathon not a sprint… and I got a ways to go.  Peace Coni

doesn't it just make you feel good when you exercise in the morning???  I love it.. I'm so proud of you and the work you are doing!  Keep it up.  I can't wait to see how this progresses.  You rock girlie!

I so get that, having someone to do it with.  I need an exercise buddy too.. I’d love to pay for a personal trainer.. but don’t have the extra dollars for that.  I also thought about advertising on Craigs list or something for a buddy like that.. I've never done that.. was just a thought.  It took me a while to “get over myself.”  I think that is something a lot of us here need to learn, you’re definitely not alone.  Thanks for the encouraging words.  Peace Coni

Congrats on your weight loss.  I count every pound.. but I must admit I get scared each week that the scale is lying to me.. but each week it creeps and lil more down.  Exercise is a hard one.  I'm doing it.. but it is rough and hard to set a pattern to do.  I think drinking the water has helped the most.. well and this site too.  The treadmill is boring too.. I always say it is like dog years.. 1 minute in real life = 7 minutes on the treadmill (elliptical is the same I'm sure)  peace coni
