Muscles here I come! Lobsteriffic's Log

[Barb123]

Long time no see Lobster and Mary. Glad to see you both still hard a work. You are both very inspirational to me and even though I haven't checked in here to VB forums in a while (partially due to the trauma of losing 2 of our dogs) you guys still continue to inspire me. I always ask myself during my workouts "what would lobster and marystella do?" Thanks guys for continuing to be my motivators.

And MaryStella and Lobster-I wish I was as tall as either of you! I am 135 lbs. and only 5'4''. Oh well..... I wish I could stop obsessing with numbers.

Barb! I was just wondering where you were! Sorry to hear about the dogs, that's rough.

[MaryStella]

barb - nice to hear from you again! sorry about your loss. Hope to hear from you on here more often!

Why?

Why?

I'm not sure! I just feel like I'm in a funk lately. Need to get my head on straight and quit with the negativity.

[Linanil]

Remember to be kind to yourself. You are doing positive things for yourself. I get into funks as well.

[MaryStella]

are you tired? could be overtraining and not recovering enough? Sometimes you need a mental break too. Or maybe just do something fun and different and shake it up a bit. Hope your feeling better soon!

[lobsteriffic]

ugh, I think I have a stomach bug.

[gsop_3]

Oh NO! hope you get well soon!

[TrilliumFortnight]

Bummer, take care of yourself!

I'm trying to cut out diet soda. Lately I've been drinking at least 1 a day since I have an endless supply at work. I don't mind having the occasional can, but I don't like the idea of having aspartame every single day.
