Yuck, I know. I am sooo frustrated at the moment. My weight is down, I am actually down to a size 3. SIZE 3! At one point I really thought I would never see that again. BUT… my stomach is still flabby! I’ll say it again. I am frustrated. I am trying very hard with my diet. I do have cheat days but I’m trying to limit them to every 2 weeks instead of weelky. I walk 2+ miles at least every other day and I’m hitting the weights 3-4 times a week. I’m not sure what to do about it. I have always had a belly. I have never had a flat stomach. I’ve been working so hard for the past year. If anyone has any suggestions I would gladly try anything right now.

Many thanks and well wishes to my friends who are serving and have served. You are always in my prayers.

My daughter is moving to Flagstaff in January.  If any one can help me with a rental and general info on the area I would  be very grateful.

So I am finally back online. I have been going to the gym, I did 4 weeks of a heavy work out, and was lifting weights I really thought I would never get to. But ANYWAY, I took a week off and ended up getting sick and it’s been almost 3 weeks since I’ve gotten to work out. I have to say, this bug kicked my ass. So I’ll be back at the gym tomorrow. I’m actually looking for a 4-5 day split that takes 30- 40 minutes minus cardio…. if anyone has any suggestions, I am totally open to a new workout. I really missed tallking to you all and I very much look forward to chatting again.

I’m off the crutches! I went for a short walk today about a 1/10th of a mile.

I am feeling much better today. I went for a little walk, with the crutches, but I can get around the house without them. I’m going to do upper body in the am and a couple of chin ups today. My calories are around 1100-1200 the past couple of days.

Or rather me at cookouts, I thought I was doing REALLY well yesterday until I entered my meals into my food journal this morning. It was like 2000 CALORIES!!! GGGGRRRRR!!! And I have another one today. I would usually take an appetite suppressant but where I’m going in for surgery on Wednesday, I don’t think it’s a good idea. I’m just sooo disgusted with myself. I will for sure be at the gym in the AM.

I just wanted to extend my Thanks to all of you who are serving our country, have served our country and supporting loved ones in the military. As a wife to an ex-marine, I really appreciate that every day you fulfill your duties and protect our freedom. You are in my prayers to come home safely. Much love to my husband dk72 who is still my big strong jarhead. And to all my body space friends and fellow fitness fanatics, have a fun, safe  weekend.

My knee surgery is a week from tomorrow. I’m looking forward to having it done. But I’m on crutches ALL the time now. The training is going SLOW but at least it’s going. I’ve lost a total of 5 inches off my waist since November. And I am still losing weight. I have at this time reduced my caloric intake to make up for the lack of cardio, and it seems to be working. I am eating 5 times a day and keeping it clean.

This is soo true. My sister sent this to me. LOL

10. Do you ever trick your boyfriend or girlfriends? (No twin out there wants to do that. “Hey why don’t you go try to kiss him and see if he kisses you, it’ll be so much fun!” EEEWWWW!!!!)

9. If I hit her, can you feel it? (Very common one. We usually say How about I hit you and see if your sibling can feel it?)

8. Do you ever wake up in the morning and think that you’re her? (We usually just roll our eyes.)

7. Do you guys share everything? (Yep, we share everything, retard. They think that we hook up with the same people. Like it’s an automatic threesome invite or even a three-way kiss, and you’re like “No, I don’t want to put my mouth anywhere near her mouth.” As kids we used to play touch tongues, but now we would never do that. )

6. When’s your birthday? OK, now, when’s your birthday? (It’s just a joke but its like, really?)

5. Who’s the prettier one? Who’s the smarter one? (Or they ask who’s the angel and who’s the devil? My sister usually says “I’m the devil” and walks away.)

4. Which one of you got the soul? (Some people think only one twin gets the soul. My sister got it, if you saw me dance, you’d believe me.)

3. You’re not twins. (People try to get in arguments about how we’re not identical twins. Identical doesn’t mean that we look exactly the same, identical means that we came from the same placenta. But when I talk about placentas they get all flustered.)

2. How do you know that you weren’t switched when you were babies? (I guess it’s kind of a good question, because how do we know we weren’t switched? Our parents did keep my toenails painted, kind of like how you mark turtles.)

1. Singing the Doublemint song. (Don’t ever sing the Doublemint song to twins. I always wanted to make a dance routine to the Doublemint song so when people started singing it we would break out in the dance routine, give them a piece of gum and prance away. We should ask Doublemint if they’ll pay us to do that.)
