What made your day today?

[The Icy Darkness]

My friend is getting an MKR birthday cake. I'M SO JEALOUS.

Pics, or it didn't happen.

Seconded!

Her party is sometime this month but the cake isn't made yet. I WILL post pics, trust me... but she has the bragging rights.

A coworker asked if I've lost weight!

(I said, "I hope so.")

I haven't seen her in a week or so, and we don't talk too often.  To someone who sees me regularly, you'd never notice. :P

I've been trying to lose some, as after I got married three years ago, between the pill and inactivity I put on like 25 pounds and have been at the heaviest I've ever been.  Not enough to be called fat, but I consider myself a bit chubby.  And I miss my old body and my old clothes.  Unfortunately exercising hasn't been working out for me -- since the spring, if I try to work out even lightly it brings on abdominal pain (that I really should have looked at because it might be a hernia or ulcer, but it goes away after a few weeks and I know if I go in when it's not flaring up they won't find anything because UGH THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS) so I'm just trying to watch what I eat.  Better overall, and less, especially at night.

And it seems to be paying off.  I can get my belt loop one or two notches tighter than the beginning of the year and apparently at least one person noticed it in my face.  My face is where I want to lose it the most. ;__;

Anyway, it made my day.  Thanks for letting me ramble on.

Story of my life.  Hoping the activity required of the new job will help me shake mine back off.  None of my old costumes fit, which makes me so sad.  My goal is to tone up enough that I feel comfortable attempting a Tatra costume for halloween next year.  We'll see what happens

What made my day today?   A cup of tea and a sit down.  I am not sure how much of this job I am going to be able to take.  We are only into week two....

Unfortunately exercising hasn't been working out for me -- since the spring, if I try to work out even lightly it brings on abdominal pain (that I really should have looked at because it might be a hernia or ulcer, but it goes away after a few weeks and I know if I go in when it's not flaring up they won't find anything because UGH THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS) so I'm just trying to watch what I eat.  Better overall, and less, especially at night.

I used to be pretty obsessed with running until I started getting sharp abdominal pains (wasn't breathing properly/got very out of shape after I quit cross country). But have you tried any form of yoga? I did hot yoga and ashtanga over the summer (min of 5 times a week, 1-1.5hr sessions) and lost around 15lbs. The process is relatively slower than aerobic exercises, if compared by calories burned per hour, but it's so much more relaxing and easier to commit to. ALSO, works out your full body so you get that nice toned look.

You should definitely try it out! (and maybe get the abdominal pain checked out just in case)

What made my day? My iPod works. _{Even after I managed to drop it in the bathtub....} I put it in uncooked rice for 48 hours and it works just fine! ^^ (Only the camera doesn't work, that's a huge bummer but I can work around it)


Also, on a completely different topic, I changed my username. (I used to be WaterDragonsWing to those who don't know me..) I feel like my new name is sore suiting. You can call me ID for short! ^^

MAKING IT made my day.   I keep giggling at the silliness.   Considering all the crap Down and I keep discussing on Gchat.  I thought we needed a board like that in the forum.   I'm sure others would be just as amused by the idea of Clef as a sub and so forth....

I love that it made Down change her user pic, even though I thought the posts with little!Clef looking decidedly unimpressed was hilarious....

I've lost half a stone!!  This is the first time I've been under 200 pounds in over a year!  I do think it has to do with the fact I don't sit still all day anymore I would I would love to lose the same amount over the course of the next month or so.
