The metal monster is finally catching up with all your hard work!

You know I have been down b/c I have let myself slip the last couple months and gain a little back.... but you know what?

I asked myself this question?

AM I STARTING THE NEW YEAR LESS THAN I WEIGHED AT THE START? Yes!

I started last year in the 180s and I am proud to say that I am at least lower than that..lol

Hi Mel, that's great!! (About the loss, not the you-know-what on the floor.) Hope everyone else is doing well this morning.

I made a beechin' pot of turkey chili yesterday, had been staying OP very well, then my mother shows up with a bag of Christmas cookies. Aargh. And I tried to do yoga yesterday, but the kids were cranky and obnoxious - Sarah likes to crawl under and around me, which got dangerous. So it was a day filled with good intentions.

But today, I did my 45 mins of cardio, and ate my oatmeal - DH took care of the last of the cookies, so things should be better. And it's going to be in the mid sixties, so I could take a walk with the kids later.

Have a good OP day!!

Penny, you are doing wonderful girl! You have a very busy family and you are an extermely dedicated Mommy! Sometimes those things take over the weight changes. BUt that's ok it's all about your priorities. THe weight is going to come off and you look awesome anyway. You have so much going on, with the kidney walk and Andrew when he was sick. The boys in school AND teaching Sunday school. How much can a woman do girl?! Keep up the good work and you will be down soon. You have that gym membership and that will make it a bit easier. You right you are still ahead...or should I say behind where you were last year, so that is great! YOU CAN DO IT!!! Luv ya girl!

TRACY, mid 60's is going to be great for walking with the kids. Maybe that way you can get in your exercise in. Good job on the cardio. Sorry the kids won't let you do more. That's why I had to join the gym. They wouldn't let me do anything. It's taking me forever to write this, they are fighting over toys. Ughhh...Have a great day OP girl.

Hi girls. Just wanted to check in so none of you worry.
Mel, wtg!!! You are way too close to onederland. You'll do it.
Good luck to you challengers today.
I'm still ebaying, finally placed a bid on two white, chenille bedspreads for the girls room. 2 white, distressed night stands and a white valance, in which I'm going to dress up some. So I'll know in a couple of days how those bids go. I'm getting the house picked up, fixing to hop in the shower, get laundry going, strip my bed and so on. I'll keep ebaying today and moving into another room to work on.
I slept really pretty good last night. I'm spunky this morning, but it seems to get run out real fast.
I hope you all have a great day. We'll be running errands after lunch later so I'll check back at some point. TTYL

Hi all. Just made it back from town and put the groceries up. I'm already tired and have two loads of laundry left to do. I got some batteries for my digital camera but the last time I got these kind they didn't stay charged for very long at all, but that's all they had. I'll try to get some pictures of the house and such and maybe me if I'm brave enough or even my big belly and post them.
Anyways, I need to check on my ebay things and get this place vaccumed and get ready to start some dinner. TTYL

Hi Kristin! Keep yelling at me about those cookies!! Dammit! I need you to send me a continuous recording of that - I'll play it when I'm sleeping.

Hey, Penny, Hey Crystal - sleep is so nice, isn't it. I miss that. I know you do, too.

Mel - I did get some good play time with the kids, and hauled them in their wagon a bit. And my exercise video catalog came today - I've marked it up with rewards for when I meet some goals.
