How was everyone's week? Thought I'd go ahead and start the thread now while I had a chance to write. What goals or other milestones did you achieve this week? How are you looking and feeling?

------------------------------------------------------------

I've been doing great on the workouts - really have gotten into a routine. Because of my work schedule I only made one Pilates class and will go to yoga today. I managed to do 1 full bicep curl with 30# - will keep trying it until I can do a set. I can now pick up a 45# plate with one hand, although I am very careful not to drop it on my foot after an injury last year! On Tues I weighed in down again at 123#, but I think I was just dehydrated. Back up to 126#. Eating about 3000 cal/day and still having problems gaining.

Got a real kick in the pants at work Thurs. A couple of nurses were eating breakfast with me (actually MY 3rd time to eat that day - had already eaten meal#1 and a PWO shake). I was measuring my jelly, just so I could accurately put my #'s into fitday. They started talking about how I was too skinny, looked anorexic not muscular, probably had an eating disorder, etc. The biggest joke was that they thought I ate about 1000 cal/day, but I couldn't convince them otherwise. They also said I wasn't feminine enough, but I couldn't get much of a word in edgewise to even ask what they meant by that. I do suspect they mean I am not "ladylike" enough, which may just be a Northern vs Southern cultural thing. I told them to go to he!! and if they wanted to make something of it I'd meet them both in the parking lot. Just kidding... I do consider these women to be my friends and usually get along with them great, so I didn't want to start a problem, and I do appreciate them saying it to my face instead of behind my back. Of course, the ironic thing is that I never have any shortage of male attention, so I question their opinions.
