That’s terrible and very scary. If moving is not an option, I bet there is some company that can come out and check for mold and remediate it if necessary…
Hey Gurl Hey!!! One arm DB Shoulder press wut wut!
I answered your Q re why sitting v standing in my log. One other thing I will point out is the structure of my two upper body days. Bench press day starts with a flat press followed by a flat pull. Then comes Single arm OHP and Single Arm OH Pull (Hammerstrength). OHP Day starts with OPH followed by OHPull. Then comes Single arm Flat Press and Single arm Flat Pull… see see see! Brilliant. Another reason for the single arm work is just diversification of the program structure.
Looks like youre training intuitively right now.
I LIKE IT!
Goals are awesome and keep ya moving forward… I say go for it!
You already look great but keep on pushing yourself to reach your goal weight Mimsy… I know you can do it.
sheesh the presses, strong stuff!

Thanks for the e-support!
But understand after all this poor health crap I’ve been through for about 5 years now that it would be hard to let it go.
I know it’s just a number, go by the mirror and cloths and how you feel, etc!
That would be hard. I think it’s easier to understand if you’ve spent any number of years OVERweight. I used to be in the 200+ club…and I’m not talking my squat #
Reaching my goal weight gives me a goal!
I’m unable to do a lot of the things I was able to. No powerlifting or running 5ks for me. Nope.
I want that focus back. It would feel like I’ve WON!!!
If Nadia gets to lose lbs to do pull ups, then so do I! 
And lookit our Hallowed. She’s plenty muscley and weighs LESS than what my goal weight is.
I will give it time. I will know when I am at the right weight AND happy with what I see in the mirror.

I totally support you in your journey I spent the majority of my life overweight and feeling helpless about it. I got up to a grand weight of 190# and I’m 5’3". It didn’t look sexy. So yeah, I still struggle with the number I see on the scale even though I’m 45# lighter right now. Sometimes I focus on the number too much and disregard everything else. Just want to make sure you keep looking at the big picture, is all.
Hope you can get the house/health situation looked at and figured out soon. That’s a scary thing to think that your home is causing your kids to be sick.
There may still be mould residue, I don’t know. When are you due to move (if it’s not brought through early)?
Of course, it could just be the cold. Lot of coughs and sniffles at my school.
It’s military housing. If one house has it chances are they allll have it.
And there not going to send someone out here to confirm that.
If we want someone to test we would have to pay for it…but pay for what? what we already know is true??
People have moved into these houses and right back out cause there kids’ asthma flare up, etc.
ya, it could be ‘just a cold.’ But a cold they never get over with a prolonged cough for MONTHS? They’ve been coughing since before Halloween,right when we cut the heater on. And my son is CONSTANTLY stuffy nosed…even in the summer.
I don’t think we’ll push to move out of here though because no matter where we are going, we only have 6-7 months. I want to move when the kids get out of school so we can settle down before the new school year. The Dr. mentioned putting dehumidifiers in there room and it should help.
ALso it should be interesting to see if they get better when we go to AZ next week!
Hallie-
I think I’ve always trained that way. Accept for the month I tried 5/3/1.
And I’m doing a shoulder routine now, prepping for pull ups!
Hey Greg! THanks!!
CHo and Pixie, thanks!
I’m feeling the Christmas Crunch. Last minute stuff this weekend, including making the annual family recipe holiday cookies!
We leave out of here Tuesday…
mmm cookies.
safe travels. my mom’s asthma always gets better in dryer weather. AZ should be good for the kids.
One last gym session before heading out tomorrow!!
I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Holiday!!
Same to you! Have a good Christmas.
Just wanted to catch you before you left for AZ!
Merry Christmas, my dears!! Have a great trip and enjoy that sunny, warm weather. Much love to you and yours!!
safe travels and happy holidays doll. =+)
Oh shooooot! I think I missed you.
Haz. Velly velly Happy SmishSmash MIMSY!
Here is yo present =D
Happy Holidays Mim! Shoulder prep for pullups?!! You have my attention. I’m excited!
Regarding the breathing, there are these salt vaporisers too. I meant to check one out myself the last time my breathing had issues (sinuses & asthma), so I can’t give any advice if they work. They have the more expensive salt therapy places too, but might be worth checking out.
Happy XMAS!
MinM
have a great holiday with the fam
I’m back!!!
On the way THERE We missed check in by 5 minutes even though the plane was delayed 15 minutes so they wouldn’t board us 
We had to wait 4 hours to catch a 20 min flight to Philly where we stayed overnight(essentially 6hrs) and were up bright and early to catch a 650am flight, phew.
But we made it and thats what counts. Had an awesome time…kids were well behaved and got tons of stuff for xmas and we got to see my Mom.
We were supposed to leave Monday night/Tuesday morning but we got booted off the plane, LOL! When we were flying out of here apparently the lady in Baltimore took it upon herself to change our return flight without saying anything…thanks lady! :irked:
It was starting to become comical.
so we didn’t leave until TUesday/WEd morning and got home yesterday at about 11am…
Holiday Travel SUCks! At least the kids were perfect angels and we didn’t lose our bags.
I have an apt up in DC this morning for my new medicine that hopefully will change my life!
Hope all is well out there and I look forward to getting back to it in the New Year! I will check up on all of you later.
Hey MiM!
I hate flying. Especially this time of year. Flying home around x-mas last year was so awful last year that SH and I decided to drive this time. I swear we spend just as much time traveling whether we’re flying or driving.
Good luck with the doctors appointment.
Hi Betty! Good luck with that appointment today. I’ll be thinking about you.
