Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Just quickly checking in...been a crazy week as hubby is still gone on business - but comes home tomorrow!! He's been gone since the 2nd. I am doing great, running 3/4 of a mile now......and feeling wonderful.

Have had sick kiddos, one with pnumonia (sp?), one with cluster migraines, and the other with hurt knees - she has to have an MRI next week to find out the problem. Dr. put son with migraines on new meds, but had to have blood work and EKG first. I think we met our deductable for the year in justr 2 visits!

Anyway, I'll try to get back on sometime this weekend....

Much love sending your way!

Wow...this is a busy place! I lost count of where I left off reading....lol...


I weighed this morning, but I'll be a good kid and wait until Monday to report in....going back to school this term has it's stresses, but I think it'll be a good thing to keep my weight down (maybe....lol....).


Randi....thanks for volunteering to keep track of the weight lost on this challenge. It's a lot of work (I imagine ), but a worthy investment to see just how much weight gets dropped.


Keep plowing through each and every day!!!!

Oh my gosh last night was so stressful. As an emotional eater this incident would have sent me on a binge - instead I chewed the heck out of some gum last night (which I was trying to cut down on). My Mom fell and we ended up at the ER. This was bad because in October my Mom fell and shattered her left knee. This is the same leg that she has a prosthesis on (had bone cancer at 18 and had her leg amputated below the knee). She had been staying with me. When she screamed, my heart dropped into my stomach. I threw my laptop (luckily it's still working). My nerves were so shot and I was so tired that I didn't even go to work today. However, I did not cheat (even though I wanted to).

Hugs for her recovery!

Aren't deductables just crazy??? They increased ours for 2008...so nice to have private insurance (not!).

MorningGlory can you give us inches lost as your goal?

Hi Emma....yah I look a bit weird in the middle of that list of numbers! How about a goal of 8 inches overall? That doesn't sound huge, but I just looked at my measurements and that's what would make me happy!

You're doing a great job with this~thank you

...It's those dern pictures, everytime I think about cheating, I think about how embaressed I would be if I stayed the same.

That's the truth for sure~can't do much about it once those images are up and everyone and their dog has seen them! ha ha.

Your mom needs you to be strong and healthy~~good for you for staying home from work too....putting yourself first is important when you're so stressed out. Hope this all works out for you and your mom

Purplecat...hope your mom has a speedy recovery. Good for you for not cheating.

I've had a great week and can't wait to weigh-in Monday. Keeping my fingers crossed that the scale will be nice to me this week. I just got home from the gym. I took the one hour kick class. I can't believe that I actually enjoy exercising now. It's so weird. I used to HATE exercise with a PASSION! Now I look forward to it!

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hi everyone!
I went to the movies last night! We saw The Debaters (Great movie btw! highly recommend it!) and I made chicken and mushroom alfredo over zuccini for me (over spagettie for the fam) it was soooooooooooooo good! and satisfying... totally untempted by the popcorn last night! but still... was scared to get on the scale for some reason this morning... I did anyways... and 175.3 yeah!!!!!! so happy! Gosh, this really works! huh?

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

coughing is exercise right??

Well my oldtimers certainly is, so why not coughing

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

it certainly works those abs!

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

You poor thing. I hope you feel better soon! Mom used to give us chamomile tea and honey when we were sick. Since honey is out, I suggest the tea with a shot of brandy
