I baked chocolate chip cookies two nights ago and am kicking myself for only bringing 3 into work with me today.

I was listening to the radio on my way to the office Tuesday listening to all of the crazy people lined up outside stores to buy Frozen (Target has the Blu-Ray on sale for $20).  The radio was saying it was a madhouse and stores everywhere were selling out.  Absolute insanity, on the Black Friday Furby-snatching scale.

I went to Target during my lunch to pick up a prescription and they had completely full displays in several locations around the store.  I have no idea what was going on in the morning.  Was the radio lying?

I'll never understand this. I bought it on Amazon, paid $19.96 for the Blu-Ray, and got it Tuesday. Peeps be crazy. Also, the radio is probably sensationalizing things, and really there were 5people there picking up a copy at one time, and that turned into a crowds and fisticuffs.

I just took 40 13-year-olds to the computer lab for 30 min and it was one of the most anxiety-inducing experiences of my life. Seriously, my anxiety is through the roof right now. My kingdom for a Xanax.

Does Frozen live up to the hype?

YES!  I've seen it four times... twice in the theater, and twice since watching it.

I'm stubborn.  All the Frozen hype makes me not want to watch it.

I played in a staff/student basketball game last night.  I haven't really played since high school, though have played for fun a few times here and there.  By the time it was over, I felt like I was going to either pass out or throw up.  I felt like I had ran a marathon.  Today, I'm sore in the most odd spot... the front of my ankles.  Like, right where the leg meets the foot.  I'm guessing it's from the constant stop and go.

I will admit, that 12 years later, I can still play like I used to.

I've been doing really well at sticking to my workout regiment lately and have improved my diet a lot.  I feel a lot fitter but I still weigh the same.  Its a total buzz kill.  :-<   I'm so tired of chicken breast.  I just want to eat all the macaroni and cheese the world has to offer without gaining a pound.  Is it really too much to ask?

Do your clothes feel different?  Did you take beginning measurements (e.g. - waist, hips, arms, etc...)?  You could be toning up & building muscle at the same time.  That wouldn't necessarily show in your weight.  Are you lifting weights?

And I LOVE Idina, but Let It Go isn't really a very good song. She rocks it, but it's WEIRD.

I have what my doctor thinks is a cyst in my left boob. It hurts, it feels tender and hard and weird. I am lying on my couch in just pants with a heating pad on it. This is my second day home miserable. Calling out of work is not fun when you're in pain.

But my Frozen DVD came in this afternoon!

I am in the same boat. Workout, eat healthy, no fing sugar in almost 3 weeks. Scale hasn't moved. Just a little change on the scale would go a long way for my motivation!

I didn't take measurements beforehand.  I wish I had.  My clothes don't fit that different.  They were getting a little tighter before and now they fit.  I am definitley more solid than I was before.  I lifted weights regularly for a couple of years mixed with cardio but I've never loved lifting weights.  I stopped and was just doing cardio all the time and I got so soft.  So I've started back up with the weights.  I still do cardio but I think I need to add another day of cardio or do it for 20-30 minutes after my lifting.  I have about ten pounds I want to lose.  Normally I see some movement on the scale one way or the other but it just won't budge.  I've only really started being consistent for about a month so far.  Maybe it just needs more time.

This is how I feel too.

You could be building muscle tone which weighs more than fat so that's why your weight may not show a change.  My husband dealt with that frustration too.  Tip - take pictures of yourself every week.  The scale may not show a difference but a picture will!
