just be really careful with shin splints because they can lead to stress fractures if you really push it. Try taking some time off of running/walking, strengthen your muscles like everyone is suggesting, and go to a proper running store and get your feet sized for the proper shoes.

ran 10k, did abs and jogged up 24 flights of stairs to my apt. I think I pulled a muscle in my leg though because my calve is throbbing right now and I can barely walk boo! I went by winners on my way home today and they had soooo much good workout stuff. I bought an exercise ball and a tension band for my leg workouts can't wait to try them all tomorrow...I'm making abs and legs a part of my morning wakeup from now on~

I just got it though and put it in my work bag, so Monday it will be on here. Sorry again. As for earth balance I'm going to go to wholefoods tomorrow and hopefully they'll have it there. I'm going to double check that the organic grocery store beside our house doesn't have it first though...but I somehow doubt it.

That's awesome!!!! congratulations!

try anthropologie.com they have lots

I think its too risky also. I would explain that situation to her and see if she can let go of the wedding show idea, or else I would look for a new photographer.

they don't have it my size and the medium just sold out! boo, I'm so sad now! I emailed to see whether they're getting anymore sizes in though...I'd love to have it just for either TTD or wearing around this summer

thanks for sharing this, I'm going to take a look as soon as I get home

bronchitis is no fun...but take the opportunity to just rest and watch your fave movies and shows on tv sleep as much as possible it will make you feel better.

I'm so terribly sorry. I know how sad you must feel, but try to stay positive. A couple of years ago my friend got pregnant, she was 3 months along and then she miscarried. She was terribly upset too. Then 4 months later she got pregnant again, and now she has the most beautiful baby girl named Kalia. We recently talked about what happend and she said that she's really glad things worked out the way they did because now she has this amazing little girl and she doesn't know how she would be without her. I believe that things happen for a reason, you and Tim have a precious little baby that is meant to be with you and this is just the process that you are taking before you meet. Its really common to miscarry with your first pregnancy and I don't think it in any way predicts your future...its just bringing you closer the baby that is meant for you

you should check bluefly.com as well, and maybe ebay. They have discount dresses there.

aww I'm so sorry! Maybe its not too bad, its really hard to tell what it looks like from the pics you posted. Maybe you can use it as your TTD if you're doing that?

golf with a buddy is a really good idea

There's a bunch on Bluefly.com that are all jersey material: Bluefly - Designer Brands (Prada, Fendi, Gucci & more) at Discount Prices - #2113469 - Tart navy jersey 'Carrie' bandeau halter dress Bluefly - Designer Brands (Prada, Fendi, Gucci & more) at Discount Prices - #2106198 - YAYA AFLALO LOVE heather grey draped long dress Bluefly - Designer Brands (Prada, Fendi, Gucci & more) at Discount Prices - #2113476 - Tart navy jersey 'Elena' halter dress K this dress I LOVE LOVE LOVE (I think I might have to buy it for myself...lol) its not exactly what you wanted and its a bit pricier, but its beautiful and light weight it would make a good TTD I think.

I do curls, shoulder presses, squats, etc. as my "burn out" set later after my normal workout. It's a nice little addition. It was about 10 bucks on amazon.com, and really nice to have when traveling too. Friday: shoulders, chest, triceps, 45 min cardio Saturday:off; going to Seattle for Cabaret play with FI and FMIL for day of shopping and dinner out....yikes. that's such a great idea! we don't have tv..only what I can stream online...but I've been thinking to incorporate some sort of workouts into my early mornings. I won't actually get up and go to the gym at 6am, but I can definatley get up 30min early and do some excercises at home, even abs. I'm going on Amazon right now...thanks!

Quote: Originally Posted by xandrafaye Try to bring yourself a healthy snack next Friday that you absolutely love to eat!

I have everything, but its still not the same I'm always hungry, so I have to have lots of food on me so I don't break down and buy something unhealthy.

Quote: Originally Posted by carly Oh, I feel your pain. I too have a weakness for sweets. But it's worse if I smell bacon, I swear I think I could eat it three times a day and then again for dessert. Donut Friday would be so hard for me! I loooooove bacon! That is one thing that I still allow myself with brunch once a week...and extra side of bacon mmm its soo good! K if I make it through today without binging on the 4 dozen doughnuts up front, then I'm going to reward myself with a good brunch tomorrow...and then a gym day! lol Thanks for the support guys! (I'm going to be glued to BDW until all the temptation is gone)

they're just so delicious especially the boston cream *tear I try to sit at my desk and not walk by the front entrance until about 11am or so...that's usually when all the good stuff is gone and most of what's left is all hard and crusty because its been in the open air for a couple of hours. I'm just going to keep telling myself that they taste awful :S It wouldn't be as bad if our offices didn't have glass walls, so that I can see everyone munching away!

We have doughnut friday's every friday at work! EFF! I'm not happy....every friday I have to smell it and see everyone eating doughnuts and bagles and muffins and croissants The worst part is that people think I'm nuts for wanting to lose weight so they come into my office and actually put the food down on my desk for me to eat I am so frustrated and not happy at all. I think the whole idea is stupid to begin with and I wish whomever had this idea to eat fatty delicious food every friday had been fired looong before they opened their big mouth. Sorry...I went on a bit of a tangent. But how the eff am I supposed to be healthy, work out and lose weight with all this stuff around me?!

I love it its so beautiful
