Ok, this Thread is for days when you just need to gripe! Like today for me. . . I went to an air show this weekend and got so sunburned on my arms and feet <was wearing sandals> that I can't get shoes on or lift my arms above chest lvl to do my work out :( I'm hoping that the blisters and swelling will be down enough tomorrow or Wed. at the latest that I can try to push myself through my work out. Hope you all are having a better week for working out!

You know. . . it so figures that today since I'm so happy about losing all those inches this last week. . . I would come across a picture of me from just about exactly 2 years ago. . . I was SO CLOSE to being a size 10 back then, I wanted to cry seeing how much weight I've packed on. . . OK gonna go stare at my progress chart and remind myself that I am 10.5 inches closer to looking like that again than I was 16 days ago. . . :dumbbell::(:dumbbell:

Exactly!!! 10.5 inches is not a small feat. You should be proud of all you are doing now, and think that when you get to that size 10, you will be so much better off because of all the hard work you have put into that size 10!! Keep it up!!

Hey, Kyrah, you are inspiration to me and that should count for a lot because I have a whole lot to go, my kids tease me saying "she's a whole lot of woman!" in fun, lucky for them I can handle it or out they'd go, lol! Truly, though, your 10.5 inches got me up and working out today, honestly, seeing your progress gives others hope!! I'm sorry that seeing your pic upset you, but you hang in there, every day you are getting closer to your goal, forget that time and go forward just as you've been! I mean in a short time you have come so far! I'll pat you on the back if you can't today, tomorrow you can do it!

Hey you did it!! I had no doubts! A push here, a nudge there, that is sometimes all it takes, another time it may take a bulldozer, but hey, we get there!

Can we still gripe on this post?

I have a cold and can't muster the energy to workout. yesterday i felt like my energy levels were coming back, so i cleaned thehouse, now today i feel worse and I am so sick of sitting and flopping and not working out!!!!

If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

I\'m not lazy, I\'m energetically challenged.

"Chunky Monkey"? Can't say I've heard of that, lol!! That sounds like something my kids would call me! It's gonna be fine, Kyrah, no one has to slap you, if your like me you've done a fine job kickin' yourself! But, as you say, back on the healthy horse you go! You'll do fine now!

Sorry you guys have been feeling so crappy, there are quite a few that have been down and out lately on the boards. It is such a bummer and I hope you are all doing better soon.
