Random thoughts
my thoughts are jumbled so i'm going to do what Pam did a few weeks ago and just write them out.
i realized mid-pumping that my blinds are open. my office looks out on green space and a field so no one has any real reason to be out there and my back is to the window, but still strange.
i have been lifting/toning for 15 days now focusing mainly on my arms b/c i am in a wedding in two months and i've lost 2% body fat but gained a lb because i've been eating like a fat kid. once i get my eating under control life will be better. i am under 30% body fat for the first time since i hit it when i was pregnant though so pretty excited about that.
i just found out the decent sized town closest to me (where we go to church and do all our shopping) is getting noodles & co. and I want to scream for joy.
i put in a cd from 2002 and have heard a lot of mandy moore, simple plan, and x-tina. life is good.
my office is disgustingly messy and cluttered and i have about 15 trees worth of papers in here but i have no motivation to clean it.
i have been lurking a lot but don't post because i feel like i have nothing to add to the discussion (like it's a low self confidence thing? idk) and then it only gets worse when i don't post on something because then i'm like, oh no, i didn't say anything at all, that's worse than saying something that's not good enough. i have a complex.
Re: Random thoughts
Yay for losing weight! I was set back due to all the traveling and crappy eating I did in March, but I hope to drop a couple more pounds before this wedding at the end of the month. The goal is to lose at least 7-8 pounds before Vegas in August - and to get in better shape so I can run [not just run/walk, but run the whole thing] a 5K in September.
I feel the same way about the lurking. I've just been in and out the past few weeks and don't say as much as I usually do. Probably a good thing for a blabber like me. :P
Noodles & Co. = WIN.
Good for you, Ebonie!!! You can do it!!!!
I am also blab-a-minute...so maybe we're actually doing a good thing not saying anything!
I know, I have been waiting for a Noodles for years. We have one in my hometown and I.love.it. So awesome!
I do this too. Sometimes I read a post and think "Okay I just shouldnt say anything." Other times I see a post, respond and it seems to kill the thread! It's like whatever I said was so awkward that I just made people leave! (It is like this on FB too). (especially happens on the boards that are clique-ish) So I have gotten to the point where I just hardly ever post.
Apparently I have bad social anxiety.
Great job, Melissa! Lifting is your friend.
Stupid question alert: What is Noodles & Co? We don't have them here that I know of.
http://www.noodles.com/
I have yet to eat at one (about 20 minutes away) but I hear lots of good things!
Jade - i don't think you kill thread's here.
Melissa and Ebonie - please post more because I can post at work now and I get bored and I feel like I'm being a post wh*re.
Great job on the weight loss to both of you!
I also had no idea what noodles & co. were!
ETA - i just saw the noodles website. OMG, that's looks awesome. I secretly want to buy and operate a franchise now. There aren't any in Texas except 2 are coming to Austin (4 hours away). No one like Austin unless they go to UT anyway, lol!
