I don't think it is broken. Though it could be. Can you put any pressure on it?

I don't really think it is either, but anythings possible. I can't put alot of pressure on it without pain, but I can limp around the house. x3

I hope that both Nikki and StarryShay feel better. You both are working very hard and that's what counts. It's great to see this kind of energy and I only hope that I can drop the last 5 or 6 pounds left before I hit the goal weight for my cosplay.

Thank you so much, and good luck. =3 <3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #151 on:** May 27, 2009, 12:21:08 pm »

If you can do a little movement such as limping without pain then I think it isn't broken. Are you going to see a doctor?

StarryShay · « **Reply #152 on:** May 27, 2009, 12:34:02 pm »

Yeah, my dad said that if it hasn't improved by Friday we'll go to the doctor. ^^
Thanks for your help Nikki.~

really? My parents would have taken me right away. Though I guess there isn't much a doctor will tell you if it is sprained. Keep off it, ice it, and take pills. That's it. If it really hurts they might give you strong drugs

Dont get addicted to drugs though.
Its worse than having a gummy bear addiction.

mitsuki · « **Reply #155 on:** May 27, 2009, 05:28:04 pm »

What about a chocolate addiction? Which is really hard not to eat when you are trying to lose weight.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #156 on:** May 27, 2009, 05:42:08 pm »

I don't have them so I can't get addicted, and if I am addicted to anything it is cake x.x

Sayda · « **Reply #158 on:** May 27, 2009, 06:23:07 pm »

I have muscle relaxers for my shoulder blade, and I take those at nighttime if it's really hurting. Those things make you tired, but put you in a good mood, if you know what I mean. XD

I don't like taking them though, cause I'm usually up for a while, and it's hard when I'm suddenly feeling tired at 8 PM.

Today I biked over to the Tualatin Library which is about three miles or so from my house, then over to Tigard High School, and then back home. I surprisingly didn't eat a lot today so I was sort of hungry when I got home. -.-

My dad's taking me tommorow. ='D
If I lived with my mom, I would be driven to a hospital, but because it's my dad, and we live about an thirty minutes from the closest one, he didnt want to take me unles he had to.

Wooo...so I've decided to really focus on weight training rather than cardio. Let's see how it goes

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #164 on:** May 28, 2009, 08:11:56 am »

Got distracted from doing my workout yesterday from playing tag in the park with my boyfriend. We were running around for at least 40 minutes though so I'm sure I burned off whatever calories I would have burned off running with it.

Seriously though, there's something wrong if a 20 and a 24 year old are squealing and running around like we're in elementary school, ha ha. I run tonight though.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #165 on:** May 28, 2009, 08:51:58 am »

I don't think there is anything wrong with that. You are carefree, that is a good thing. And actually tag probably burned more because you would have been sprinting or running faster than you normally would.

princessmoon · « **Reply #166 on:** May 28, 2009, 09:48:51 am »

lol. I arm-wrestled a gal the other day and lost! I'm soo weak! She was a lighter build than me too! I need to build muscle and lose my subcutaneous fat! XD

Sayda · « **Reply #167 on:** May 28, 2009, 10:01:09 am »

I'm going to play tennis this morning with a friend, then maybe lift some weights at the gym. X3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #168 on:** May 28, 2009, 11:21:02 am »

I am working on eating better now. I don't think I will try doing any exercises till next week. Patric gave me some vicodin and I feel very nice right now.

Teasel · « **Reply #169 on:** May 28, 2009, 11:34:49 am »

I'm not really fat, so much as I'm husky. But I have been needing to get in shape for a while now. Right now I can't do much of anything besides college work, let alone seriously exercise. I've been attempting to eat better, but it's hard to break old habits (though I have been trying to drink more water). I really want to hit the gym once school gets out, because I am tired of being out of shape, and my self esteem could use a boost. And I want to see pictures of myself and feel good about myself, because as of now, I do not.

Going to work out with someone can help boost your enthusiam to exerscise. I use to go with friends, but they've been busy, so I'm a one woman team. At least I started with great support.

Eating has always been an issue with me, but now I just eat whatever and in moderation. I eat the whole food pyramid (hmm the old one)...I don't deprive myself because I will just crave more and eat more. Simply all things in moderation has been working. No weight gain so far, but I do see some toning of my arms. Belly is not cooperating yet, and lower body is progressing.

Keep it up everyone! Even if you are in the planning stage--it is still a start!

Sayda · « **Reply #171 on:** May 28, 2009, 01:08:53 pm »

Yeah definitely exercising with a friend will do you some good. My friend Erin calls me every morning and gets me out of bed to go exercise. We don't do the same thing everyday, either. Somedays we'll go to the gym, other days we'll take walks, or run, today we played tennis for about 40 minutes, then took a walk. So if you just set up a schedule for different things to do, then you might be more likely to go out and do stuff.

Paddle ball. It burns OVER 9000 calories.

Or actually just alot And its so much fun.
You should all go out and get a set (it might be called pickle ball too) when it gets warm and sunny in your area.
Its always more fun to have fun when you want to lose weight.

lol @ "OVER 9000 calories", haha.

And yes! Pickle/paddle ball is great fun! I haven't played it since high school lol, but now I really need to get a set, thanks for the reminder!

I play with my dad every day its sunny

We've gotten pretty good in the 10 years we've been playing. And my dad, although he can HIT the balls, he hits them in awful directions, so I'm always all over the lawn trying to get them XD

lightbeam911 · « **Reply #173 on:** May 28, 2009, 05:12:13 pm »

BLLEEGGGHHHH.

I've been sick for 3 days, so I haven't worked out. I know it can make you feel better, but I just really didn't WANT to.
But I only ate like half a meal in 3 days XD Everything else I puked up. I drank a lot of OJ and cranberry juice though!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #174 on:** May 28, 2009, 07:22:10 pm »

I think I look skinnier, could be from not eating a lot. I am looking forward to working out again. I may do some wii fit tomorrow.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #175 on:** May 28, 2009, 09:38:20 pm »

Argh! I'm tired of getting off of my routine because I'm sick or I'm taking care of my sick boyfriend. I pledge now, I will work out on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays until school is done and I'll work everyday during the summer (Unless it's when I'm driving to Iowa).

BIG GUTS LETS DO THIS

nikkiolie · « **Reply #176 on:** May 28, 2009, 09:41:50 pm »

I know. I need to make a pledge to work out at least five days a week once school gets out. I have no excuse and I have a lot that needs to be done by the con. I need to look good in my crop top jacket and in my swimsuit. That is going to take work.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #177 on:** May 30, 2009, 09:53:26 am »

I walked all over town yesterday and called that my workout. I know I walked at least five miles, my body is still recovering this morning.

Sayda · « **Reply #178 on:** May 30, 2009, 12:22:06 pm »

When it's hot out, I'm pretty much in a sauna beccause I don't have A/C in my room. So I sweat throughout the day whenever I'm home. XD

Actually ran tonight! Yay!
My run is full of steep hills so I have to stop a lot. And when I say steep I mean steep ass hills. I don't know how anyone could continuously run up them. I might need to find an alternate route.
Also, side cramps suck. Is there a stretch you can do to prevent them before running?

i went and did a run after eating my cookie dough xD I felt like i was un doing my hard work today >_> I mean you need to eat and all yeah but still xP

one thing is that confuses me is diets. you dont need to eat diet food. just eat less than you normal do of whatever food you want and excersize : P Youll lose more eating some carbs like a normal diet and working out than you will eating close to nill carbs and not doing as much physical activity.

dieting just starves your body of food you need and messes up your metabolisum. America eats to much as a whole (acording to a lot of my exchange student friends our medium is equivilent to their large) you can still have starbucks in the morning : P just get a grande or a tall instead of a vente.

physical activity actualy hones your body to be fitter, tighter, and the more you work out the more you can eat xD which means you dont have to skimp so much on your favorite foods.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #199 on:** May 31, 2009, 09:59:05 pm »

they actually say eating all the time keeps your metabolism going. I'm not saying eat a full meal every 30 minutes or something. but they suggest snacking every now and then, but don't over do it. certain vitamins help with weight loss as well.
