Michelle - did you get Teagan back to sleep this morning? Good job with the housework - I've gotten a lot done today too. The whole 10-15 minutes at a time thing has really revolutionized cleaning for me! I'm not sure about eating late and calorie burning, but DH read a study that says if you drink a cup of coffee before your workout, you increase calorie burn. He's been doing that for more than a month now. As for the neighbors, I think if you kindly explained it to them, maybe they'd agree. If not, then maybe you should get a fan and direct the smoke away from your window? I dunno!
Crystal - glad you're serious in your coffee devotion - I'm with you on that one!
Penny - how much scrapbooking do you usually get done? My productivity has dropped greatly since DS's birth
Geri - thanks so much for the hug! I did need it, and now feel a lot better.
Spryng - it is nice to have someone to walk with. Liam loves being outside, so I like to get out a bit every day. We walk for an hour usually. It's not really power walking, but we break a sweat and stay moving. I know what you mean about friends with great metabolisms. I have several! It can be kind of frustrating for me.
Ginny - Wow!!! 2lbs - way to go!!!! 30 lbs over a year! That's awesome and nothing to downplay. Maintaining is hardest of all, so celebrate
Spryng and others who do WW, when did you begin Weight Watchers? I was about to start it when I got pregnant. I was about 15lbs over my goal weight back then
Back then I was going to do the online version - did you go to a center, or do it online? I'm kind of frustrated with Medifast and may switch to something that requires me to change my behaviors more. I'm still reading the Dr. Phil book, but still think it may work better for me as a maintainance plan - I just don't know. I'm kind of confused about it all. Please help!
