I love hot potatoes.

The class is over, not sure if they'll do another one next semester. But it was only about 40 minutes.

A series of 3 different workout videos. There are other things involved, but basically it is the videos. I had to look it up online, so I don't know that much. They are progressively longer and more difficult (the videos).

Yes, hot potatoes are good, I think that is why you have to drop them to lose weight.

Looks like we got some breathing milestones up in this thread right now!
Jogging is fun, I always do a little on my hill hike, just to make it more snazzy.

I walked to work and back (25 mins ea. way, fast, naturally) then when I got home I did 15 minutes on my stepper thing (you can only do 15 minutes at once on it, due to friction heat, but it has arm pully things on it, so it's a good little workout).

I'm going to do that hour yoga tape again tonight, because last night while doing it I had a breakthrough with my injured leg.

I was able to do 40 minutes on the eliptical last night without much difficulty. I think I went just over 3 miles.

My friend got me an exercise ball for Christmas. I've tried it once & so far, I hate it. I don't think I'm cooridnated & balanced enough to use it.

That's exactly what it helps with. But I don't use them either, although I think I'm going to start doing ab work on one.

I'm down to 148.5 so 14lbs all together. But this is VERY gradual, like over 13 mos. Which means it is probably sustainable. I got some new, smaller clothes at Banana Republic on Sat, including a black and white animal print strapless top. Oh yesit is animal print and I wore out to get my rock on at the Hypercane show. Dude.

^ I see you're talking to yourself again. Oh yes you are.

I love you Suze. And I find it very hard to believe that you were over 160.

I do that a lot, yeah.

Yep, 162.5. You and me both sista. I think I was down to 155 already when I saw you in Vegas though. I'm just saying my weight out loud cuz I carried so much shame about it for so long but it's not worth it.

[skcin]

^ Nothing to be ashamed of at all. You just look like you weight a lot less. Even in Vegas, I would have guessed 145 tops.

I have been having serious dizzy spells all day. I thought at first that it's an inner ear infection since I'm prone to those, but then I calculated my daily caloric intake over the past 2 days and I've barely broken 1000. not intentionally, but I for sure need to eat something good tonight. it's like when I move my eyes to the side I get dizzy, stand up...dizzy. and tonight's treadmill night. not gonna be fun.

someone said to me today that I need some new pants as the ones I'm wearing are obviously too big. that made me feel way good, but then I started wondering, do I look stupid? you know how Clinton and Stacy always say you look bigger than you are if your clothes don't fit properly? I'm giving myself 10 more lbs before I buy anything.

[skcin]

^ That's dangerous sweetie. Not the loose pants, the low calories! For God's sake eat something decent, especially before you hit the treadmill.

I beg to differ, I think the loose pants are dangerous as well.

So, Jaz, why don't you just eat a big ol' snackaroo a while before you go to your workout? No big, should take care of your dizziness once it digests a bit. If the dizziness is calorie related.
