after 22 years I think we are in it for life (besides his mom wont take him back hes broken lol jkjk)

so heres is a preview of my tattoos

And drinking wine :)

Well as you know I getting my first ever tattoos (and only) on monday one is pawprints with all my dogs past and presents initials on my left outside ankle going up the meaning is obvious and equally obvious meaning is pur wedding rings intertwined with our initials on my shoulder blade

Hope you have fun funny as sharknado is on scifi right now lol

went for a 6 mile walk after I did 30 minutes of squats and other weight stuff

I am getting 2 tats on the 17th.....1st one is on my left lower leg which will be pawprints with each of my past and present dogs initials in them the big pads are to be shaped like a heart....there will be a total of 6...the next one will be on my shoulder blade on left, our wedding rings intertwined with our initials in them with the date on the bottom......did I mention this will be my first time lol

I am so happy this week is over now if someone would stop being cranky(not me) that would be awesome! sigh

well on the plus side even though it is gross he is doing a good job keeping your yard vermin free? my duke and cody are mole hunters also it is gross.

PLus I like things simple, and not too heavy on the prep part.

I typically use cavenders greek seasoning on just about everything, not sure if you have it there but I love it, along with simple garlic powder. When I bake chicken breast I use lemon juice, cavenders, olive oil in a roaster with a little bit of water to keep it from burning or drying out. I love how it tastes

first of all dont chew the gum it will introduce nicotine back into your system you are correct.....everything you are going through is normal for a healthy quit , please trust me when I say it will get better, how slow or how fast it will get better is very individualisitic. For your eating try to choose healthier options such as fruit or veggies, drink lots of water but try, at this point, not to stress about the weight as much but there are things you can do to combat it. Try going for a walk in fact make yourself get up off your but and go for a walk even if you do not feel like it, trust me you will feel better after it is done and accomplished for the deed. Find activities that you like to do and do them even if you do not feel like it just do it anyway. Tell the voices in your head that are telling you to not do anything to shut the heck up and go for i, trust me it will help. I lost 80 lbs through diet and exercise all while quitting smoking it can be done. Remember breathe very deep in and out slowly. If you like yoga, do yoga that can be very helpful in relaxing you and relieving your extra stress. You are at a stage where it feels hopeless but you have made it this far you can keep it up, please be strong. Kick yourself in the but and just do it for yourself not for anyone else but you!!! Post here all you need to, read all you need to, use distraction to aid in your quit. IT DOES GET BETTER HANG IN THERE PLEASE!!! Excellant job in posting here Lisa

Ran this am a short run (all I have time for before work) but it was enough :)

Naproxen and ibuprofen are nsaids..tylenol is acetaminophen and aspirin is in a diffferent category also

Rode my bike for about 38 miles today lots of calories burned also did squats and some upper arm workout prior to riding

HUgs hope everything will be okay not sure what happened but I am sure you will handle it well.

did 30 minute strength which includes squats, kettle ball swings, upper arm workouts......then I ran 5 miles it was hot but doable....the third time this week I have run I think I have my running mojo back :)

you are correct .....I am just going to keep plugging along ...I do have to stop procrastinating with the dr appointment cause I need to see him anyway for a check up just been forgetting to make the appointment.

Most everyone here knows my weight loss story in short for those who dont I lost 80lbs went from 241 to 160lbs. well since the beginning of the year I am noticing the scale go up now I have at least 20 lbs to lose again to get back to 160......I have started tracking my food again my exercise is the same if not more, My diet is not perfect I falter a little but it is far from a horrible diet I eat chicken, pork, occasional beef trying to be within the proper portion sizes. I was taking a bath just soaking and looked at myself and started weeping I feel like almost throwing in the towel and saying f it, I am just gonna eat whatever I want and screw working out (I prolly wont ) but that is how defeated I am feeling right now. I usually just try to brush off these feelings and move on with life but they rear their ugly heads occasionally. Could be menopause (for both weight gain and moodiness) I should just make an appointment with my dr to check if there are other issues at play such as thyroid dysfunction otherwise I dont know. I know I am not going to be a person with washboard abs and be at 135lbs and that is okay I just want to lose what I had already lost :( Sorry for my rambling just have to let it out somewhere.

Congrats!!!

rode my bike with my husband for 48 miles today, took 4 hours, we stop every 6 miles for a rest and a drink of water and halfway for lunch. I am pooped out

{{{{{action}}}}} it sucks losing a furbaby too bad they are only with us for a short period of time, but they show us love and loyalty for all their lives. Hugs again :(

of course rescue a dog if you choose, but if you choose a pup I would go for a chocolate lab on the bottom they are pretty and awesome dogs just make sure you meet the breeders to see if their reputable and meet the parents of the pup if you do. Whatever you choose have fun with whatever pup/dog you choose dogs are awesome!!!

have fun wave towards the north as you go past or through Wisconsin lol I will be the one with flip flops on lol :P

did 30 minutes of strength squats, kettle ball swings, and other such stuff...then I went on a run :) ran about 4.5 miles slowly but I did it with minimal pain in my foot. feels great!!!!
