Lori's Muscle Building Adventure!!!

[gobbles23]

Oyy and this is why I'm sooo not looking forward to cutting :eek
I know it's not fun getting chubby but that just sounds like torture!

Enjoy your day off!

Haha! It's not so bad after the first little while- you don't even feel it anymore. Kind of fun though seeing changes every now and then that reveal muscles It's like "Woah- my bulk DID do something!"

The hunger must be goin around, tummies growling but I have a couple of hours before my feeding window. Hopefully you'll adjust again

Wow, iceberg in the freezer, I don't have anything nearly as bad-ass as that

Enjoy your rest day and hopefully whatever is making Stephen ill doesn't hit you

Hunger is stupid!

Haha! I can't wait for the berries to ripen. This year I'm going to fill the freezer with them

Thanks! It did. It's only a cough and a sore throat, maybe a small temperature, but I'm feeling pretty good besides that! Shouldn't last long.

Damn, Lori! Abs! D

He he! Thanks! They're getting there!!!!! Yay!

Well, I can't talk right. Feels like I swallowed some razor blades! But it's all good, I'm just going to take today and tomorrow off and then get right back at it. And before everyone says "Holy moly Lori! You get sick a lot" -I know But I mean, it's not like it just festers and manifests itself for no reason- other people in my house keep getting sick and giving it to me How do you avoid it when it's everywhere???

Funny too because this is the first time I was ever sick and didn't have much of an appetite. So that's cool. I have to say though- sleeping when you're sick sucks. I was so restless and hot. I even had nightmares! But yeah. Resting again today! Blah. At least I have a sick cuddle buddy

And it's good that you have a cuddle buddy at least

[tina722]

ABBBSSSS!!!! Hot!


And yuck on nightmares, I always get them when I'm sick. Hate it.

[bethanyboo]

Oh no! I had a feeling you were going to get sick. Boo.

[gobbles23]

Hope you feel better soon!!!

Thank you! Yes- cuddle buddies make it so much better! Snuggles!!!!!

ABBBSSSS!!!! Hot!

And yuck on nightmares, I always get them when I'm sick. Hate it.

Thanks!

Scary! Last night I dreamt I was lying on my stomach on the bed next to Stephen (like I was in real life) and there was an imaginary....thing...pulling on my ankles trying to drag me off the bed. Then I shook Stephen and woke him up and tried to tell him what happened, and then I was flung off the bed while holding on to his arm and he came with me. Then I woke up and was like !!!! And I was so, SO WARM. I had no blankets on me, just roasting. I was waking up every 40 minutes. Was SOOOO excited when morning came! I wanted to get up at 5:00. I hate being restless in bed.

Oh no! I had a feeling you were going to get sick. Boo.

I know, we were just talking about it a few days ago! And here I am. Sick. lol! Not too bad though, just a scratchy throat and a cough. Temperature and aches, but Stephen's dad was up doing stuff for days now and I'm sure it won't last longer than a week.

[gobbles23]

I went and checked the mail today and I got my bodymedia strap! It's a small, and it is SMALL. Like, I can't even fit it on my forearm small. And I got a Lululemon shirt in the mail from my brother and his girlfriend for my birthday and it's gorgeous! It's like a jacket shirt, and it's purple. It's a size 4, and it is tight in the chest, looser in the waist, and cutting off the circulation in my arms lol! Ok, it's not that bad- but the arms are tight! I was like "What the hell....What do I have big arms or something?" and Stephen was like "That's what I keep telling you" and he laughed. lol! I guess I have big arms then. Meh! I'll take it!

I don't know what to do about the strap though, I can't wait another 3 weeks for another, my old one is being held together with a paper clip now. I'm going to try something crazy.....like cutting a piece out of the black one and sewing it onto the silver one. Yes- it'll look funny, but what else am I to do??? Wish me luck! If I ruin them both I'm screwed

[bethanyboo]

I'm mad that I threw out all of my straps. I'd totally mail one to you if I still had them!

[gobbles23]

Aww, thanks I sewed the two together after and it looks great! A little multicolored, but it's sturdy and it fits! lol! I think I'll order another one in the meantime though- doesn't exactly look fashionable for summer

[newbeginning828]

Awww sorry you ended up getting sick That sucks... take some time off and get better so you can get back to rockin' it!

Ohhhh LULU stuff! I have yet to try anything, which really is prob best because that stuff is expensive even when it's on sale But ohhh I want! Awww.. stupid strap.... BUT big arms is a good prob to have!

Love your new avi!!! Abbzzzz

Poor chickie, sick again Here are Andrea's Tips for Not Getting Everyone Else's Cooties (my credentials are that I have worked in peds for 25+ years, with little children ofen coughing and sneezing in my face and wiping their snotty hands all over me and yet I get maybe one cold a year):

1.) Wash your hands. Like way more often than you think you need to. Bad for your skin, good for not getting everyone else's virii.

2.) Likewise, try really hard to keep your hands away from your face. No touching your eyes/nose/mouth.

3.) Have your own personal hand towel for the bathroom or, better yet, buy a roll of paper towels. Bad for the environment, good for not getting everyone else's virii

4.) Make Stephen wear a surgical mask in bed when he's sick. Okay, maybe that one's not reasonable

Hope you feel better soon! And I am impressed by your ingenuity fixing the bodymedia strap! gjdm

[Romina81]

Your lulu top sounds nice... Why are their things so expensive though!
I hope you feel better!
Nice abs

[Echo814]

Mmm, berries! I need to figure out where to go to pick some out here

I had to order a replacement strap for mine and I looked at the dimensions on their site and was like is the small for a child? Glad the Frankensteining the two straps worked I love the Lululemon stuff but can't afford it, can't see paying 50+ on workout stuff. It's awesome about the way it fits though, proof that your making progress Totally jelly over the new AVI too

OMG I love Lululemon... I have an amazing top which I go tin January but I can't find it ANYWHERE. I think I left it it Germany I'm sad cos it was expensive as well!! But sooo nice... fitted so well *sigh*
Hope you feel better sooooooon

[riverofbeauty]

Ahh, so jealous of your abs!! You're getting such great results. Hope you get better soon!

Thanks!!!

I love their clothing- but I've never had any before because of the price! So that was my first lulu shirt! And it's awesome! But I probably won't be buying it myself

Haha! They are a lot less fat now, too! But they're still smaller than the average out-of-shape person! Just bigger than someone my size. lol!

Thanks

Thanks for the tips I usually do manage to avoid it when others have it, but when Stephen gets it I quit trying It seems hopeless then! Haha! But I swear- where I go to the bathroom so much during the day- I seriously have old women hands from washing them so much. I do try!!!

Thanks! I should take a picture and show you- it came out so tidy and perfect! lol!

I don't know! But I can't afford it!!

Thanks!

Berries are awesome!

I know- it's itty bitty. Children shouldn't even be allowed to be wearing such things, and I don't know how anyone smaller could wear it! I must have put about ~4 inches of my other strap onto the new one and it now barely fits! lol!

I hope so! Thank you!

Ugh, it's all in my lungs! I'm all coughing and hacking, it sucks! Blarga! But it's progressing, Stephen was one day ahead of me and the progression of my sickness is following his pretty good. I'd be surprised if it lasted for longer than a week. I'm just waiting for the worst of it to be over, then I'll get back on track

Yuppers. Not much else to say!

Thanks! I'm not too bad today! Just sleepy and hacking! lol! But it good spirits, at least!

[gobbles23]

Last night before I went to bed, I had a chance to......flex....(which everyone does, right???) and thought my shoulder looked pretty cool so I snapped a piccie! You'll have to excuse the state I'm in though- I'm sick! And ready for bed. And then I thought I'd share my strap invention with you as well!

[-H-]

WOW! Shoulders/tris are awesome!!

[newbeginning828]

Wow! Daaayyyuuummm that's an awesome arm you got there Lori!!! I'm jelly

[thehobbes]

Last night before I went to bed, I had a chance to......flex....(which everyone does, right???) and thought my shoulder looked pretty cool so I snapped a piccie!

Yep, or before showering or brushing teeth.

BOOM - muskles everywhere!

[Fightingenetics]

Wow Lori! All that hard work sure is paying off!

I love Lulu as well. <3 Everyone at my Pilates studio wears that and Prana and they're both spendy! Although, they last a LOT longer than the cheaper stuff. My mentor has had some of her Prana stuff for like 7 years and the color hasn't faded at all. Can't speak for Lulu at that range because I don't think they've been around that long but I bet the price is because it will last. Very flattering too!

[Romina81]

Holy moly good job woman! You actually look like you lift

[Echo814]

)

Does Lori even lift... Fuk yeah! Arms are lookin awesome

Sorry your feeling so sick, hopefully it passes soon!

Love the arm strap, you did a better job sewing that than I could lol.

[nvrstopworking]

Holee crap Gobz! Sick pipes!

Next time I'm in St. John's I'm arm-wrasslin' you!

[bethanyboo]

Dayum girl!
