I can sympathize. I've had it so bad that I was throwing up every time I moved. It's got to be one of the most disgusting feelings ever. Glad you're feeling better.

Thanks!!!

And wow, you had it way worse than me. It makes me nauseous and everything spins when I turn my head, but I never threw up. It takes A LOT to make me throw up, though. I'm going to try to get in w/ a doctor tomorrow to get a referral to a neurologist just to get things checked out b/c my migraines have gotten more frequent and now I've got this going on. It just concerns me b/c the last time I had vertigo I wound up in the hospital for 3 days b/c my first CT scan showed a possible bleed at the base of my skull. Secondary CT w/ contrast showed no bleed, though. Still, it's concerning.

Getting harder to keep to my goals.. but I am getting there. Don't even have time to post here anymore with the season changing toward warmer weather.
My son just got his MC license and we have been riding around like Hell's Angels. (ok diner hopping) lols

Just opened the pool.. Green slime sux.. Yes the job is still owning me, And to make matters even nuttier, we now have 4 doggies to take care of... 2 AKC English Bulldogs, 1 AKC Pug... and now a rescued
Olde English Bulldog... pant pant..

However, I resolve to continue even if I can't post here much over the Summer!

Ugh. Now my upper arm is sore. I went for my work out this afternoon and all was good. Came home and sat on the couch for a while and all of a sudden my arm is all stiff and sore like I over worked it or something. My work out wasn't a very intense one either so I guess my arm is just being a whiny bitch or something.

I give up on meeting my target.

**Natasha** · 05-17-2012, 09:46 AM

Well, I haven't been doing so well as far as workouts, go...but I've lost 4.5 pounds in the past 6 days due to being sick, LOL

**dancingpotato** · 05-17-2012, 11:14 AM

A bonus to being ill...

**Natasha** · 06-01-2012, 05:20 AM

Didn't meet my goals for May. I slacked off too many days due to being sick. Blech.

Hopefully I can get back on track next month. New thread is up!!!

**dancingpotato** · 06-01-2012, 07:47 AM

I just met my goal! Not bad given I was away for 11 days of it! Will do good this month.

**Panacea** · 06-04-2012, 09:31 AM

I'm hoping to put the last 7 months behind me heh...that's one fuck of a plateau...
The amount of times I've gone on about this very subject alone make me feel pretty hopeless about ever changing. Like what's different about this time?
I'm trying to pump myself about getting fit for my wedding...

It's so annoying being this way

*Oh but on the bright side, I've not eaten sweets (aside from extra dark chocolate and fruit in moderation) in about 11 days! I was struggling with cookies, jelly, ice cream, and sugary chocolate stuff for months. I find my cravings are curbed by the dark chocolate.

I started the diet again yesterday, I gained 3lb on holiday. I then finished the coffee crisp Zirc sent me and restarted the diet today. So far so good and it's been a nice day so I've had the dog out for a couple decent walks.

**Natasha** · 06-04-2012, 06:12 PM

I haven't worked out at all this month. I might go tonight if I feel up to it...otherwise I'll start back w/ DanceFit and a walk w/ a friend tomorrow.

I really need to work my diet though, I am a sucker for carbs.

Aren't we all?

I'm getting focused on weight loss again - signing up for another go for July's thread!
