Hi everyone! Boy did I miss a lot! Posting late today because 1) I had my yearly ("well-woman") exam with my midwife this morning, and 2) my mother is visiting.
Thanks for all the support, Spryng! I ordered an at-home starter kit from ebay. I will start as soon as it arrives. That menu/recipie book sounds wonderful - I'll have to look into it. I'm glad your DH is planning to make healthier choices. That's wonderful and I'll keep him in my prayers too
My DH is quite healthy in food choices and working out, so he is a good example for me!
Penny - Aghhh! Hope DH and DS are okay! Good luck with Andrew's tests. Congrats on the weight loss
That's a lot of scrapbooking! I envy you - I can only get in a half-hour here or there.
Happy anniversary Geri!
Crystal - glad the getaway planning is going so well. Bet you and DH are excited.
Jackie - It's good that your exercising - that's a wonderful choice. I hope you find the support you need with us . . . I know I do
Michelle - Glad the sleeping arrangements went well. Liam sleeps with us and we really like it, but I can imagine the transition into their own bed is hard. Also, I think it's a good idea to add some kind of weight/resistance to your work out - that usually helps me lose and burns more calories in the long run because it ups your metabolism and all. Glad the neighbors are leaving.
Melinda - glad to hear JW is fine. I had asthma too - I tend to have allergies in general.
Sarah - welcome to WW, I just bought my kit on ebay, so we'll start together
What fun! We can update one another on our progress.
Hi, Julie!
Are ya'll watching Dr. Phil today???? I can't wait to see if this is really the end for Marty and Erin!
American Idol note - I agree, Spryng and Michelle - Jasmine must have gotten sympathy votes.
CSI note: Spryng and who else watch CSI? I absolutely LOVE CSI
Spryng/Melinda - I also love being married. DH and I agree that it's one of the best decisions we ever made - with DS right up there too.
Okay, I'm off to finish up dinner - chicken Fajitas, one of my favorite meals.
But guess what? I got offered a brand new, Silver Cross stroller for free! I have to write a review for the product, but then I get to keep the stroller
Isn't that awesome??? it's one of the new umbrella-type ones coming out in July - but it has a canopy and basket and padded seat, so I guess it's like a "luxury" umbrella . . . still only 9.5lbs. I'm very excited.
I bet Jasmine got sympathy votes since she cried last night. Ugh. LaToya wasn't my favorite but she deserved to stay longer than Jasmine. And Paula bawling almost made me cry but LaToya handled it all like a pro. She knows she will get a recording contract anyway. 
And I believe Penny asked me if I was following the TOPS plan. No I'm not, and actually I'm not following any plan right now besides exercising. I should be following a plan though. The last time I posted here was at the end of March and I'm sure I've gained some since then. I'm the heaviest I've ever been, even heavier than when I was 9 mos. pregnant! Need I say anymore? I've had a lot of back problems lately so sometimes it's hard for me to exercise. I kind of turned into a Hermit over the winter & I'm gradually starting to crawl out of my shell. I'm also trying not to be a couch potato and sleep the day away either. Do I sound like a basket case or what? Oh!, by the way....this is how my day is when the kids are in school--I come out of my shell around 2:30 pm and play "Mom's Taxi" for the rest of the evening, along with being a short-order cook at home and trying to keep up with everything else. Oh my, I have really turned this quick reply into a long one, sorry gals! o: Maybe I'll sign off for now & post again later, okay? TTFN
Good Morning, or just Morning
