Morning everyone! Sorry, I haven't gotten real personal here, I have been reading most of the posts, however I have been doing lots of work and keeping track with the BLC and I have to draw the line somewhere. Can't be on this darn thing all day.....otherwise I'll just gain weight... Anyway,

CHris, that is good new about your mom! I hope today is a better day with the kids though..

Michelle, that's great about the loss. ONederland is around the corner.

Jill, Mexico.......ahhhhhhh....peace........I assume you are bringing Bay. Are you going to Cancun? Where in MEx are you planning. I am trying to just plan a family vaca for end of April...Abigails spring break. I don't know though. It's not warm enough anywhere within a 4 hour drive and North carolina is about 10-13 hour drive...I don't know if the kids can handle it....grrr What to do what to do.

Anyway, I'm supposed to go to the gym today, but Patrick's nose is running and his eye is goopy again. It's coming and going. Dr call ...I certainly don't want to pay a visit to him with all the really sickies there. I'll go for Bugga's eye and leave with a flu virus or something. Wacky week here..... m BBL to check in with everyone.

Morning everyone! Hope all are doing well today. I have one word for Girl Scout Cookies......EVIL! I forgot I ordered 5 boxes and they came yesterday OMG I wanted to cry!! My hubby of course opened up the box (the choc peanut butter ones MY FAV) and I took a little tiny bite and thats all! OMG I could have eaten the whole box! But I refrained. I have a few questions today, I hope yall don't mind me asking, Melissa what is BLC, and what are the challenges yall talk about? Is it something I can do? Do yall follow a plan or do you combine a few things and do your own?

I did really well with eating again yesterday and yes I weighed myself, I know I'm not supposed to but I did and I'm down another 2 lbs! Gotta change my ticker..I am only going to weigh in on Mondays and Fridays, I gotta keep a check on things.

Melissa~Hope your little one is doing better, I hate going to the Drs this time of year also, heck I don't like the older kids bringing friends home sometimes cuz someone is always sick.

Chris~Glad to hear about your Mom.

BBL I am going to run out to get some different snack foods so I don't get burnt out on the same stuff.

Michelle-Good news for you at the doctor. that is so awesome. I've noticed that with Kelly too. He dropped weight initially but now he can't lose anything. I'm not sure when the his next doc. appt. is or if they'll do another biopsy of his thyroid. Not sure what will happen with that.
You are so gutsy. I would have listened in to their conversation too but I wouldn't have had the guts to say anything. I'm so proud and glad you did. The way she sounds, she's just wants kids to get a check from the state. Doesn't really sound like she loves her little ones too much. That is such a shame. I've been reading this book series by Dave Pelzer about him being abused when he was a child (A Child Called "IT" and the Lost Boy, next is a Man Named Dave) It's horrible and your heart just aches for him for all he went through at the hands of his mother. The good news is he really makes something of his life and has a little boy of his own that he loves sooo much.

Okay gotta cut this short...Time to round up the wild ones and get them going to school. Tiana gets out at noon today so I told them after they help around the house and clean their rooms, I'll take them to the park. The little ones can play on the stuff and I can play basketball with T-bone.

I made my February goal today (and beat it by .5) so I set up a St. Patrick's Day goal now. I'm so happy. I really feel like I'm going to get this done this time. My husband has been so supportive and keeps telling me not to feel bad about spending time on myself because it's about time that I did.

I hope everyone else is doing well today. I guess it's time to stop slacking and start working out now

I just wanted to say to Mel and Michelle for all the work that you are both putting into this challenge I know it takes time away from doing other things and your families, so thanks for the CHALLENGE!

Michelle- I am soooo proud of you for tell off that wart of a woman at Walmart! Dang Girl! I wish I could have seen that! Wtg on the great check up too! I agree with them you WILL be in oneunderland by next month!!

Chris-I am so relived to hear that the cancer didn't spread! Oh what a gift for your family. She will be around for many more years! You are doing so great on plan too!

Kris-how's that foot? You are also doing so great on your plan it is really agreeing with everyone!

Penny-WTG on your loss! That is so wonderful! We are all gonna kick but on this challenge! I really loved your accent yesterday, flying together makes it easy and fun! How is Michelle doing? Is she awake yet?

Hey ladies, figured I'd check in before it got too buys here and I didn't have time to post! I'm super busy with school but am still eating well and trying to exercise. At least a little exercise at home. I'll get back to the gym when things slow down at school. The challenge is helping me at least move a little each day so that's good.

Mel I'm excited to go to Mexico and no we will not be taking Bayley, this is a grown up trip! YAY! I will miss her but she is just too young for a trip like this I think. Besides we haven't been away from her since she was born and dh and I need a little bonding time I think. We will be going to Baja. I've never been to Mexico so I don't know much about where we are going to our friends that we are going with have been before so I am counting on them to know what they are doing. Anyway thanks for doing the BLC you are doing a great job, I know Michelle appreciates it since she is so busy with school!

Chrissy good job with the girl scout cookies!! I would have eaten them if they would have came yesterday. I was in a munchie mood. I get like that when I am working on homework, I didn't have anything bad in the house yesterday though so I was ok! lol

Hi Penny! Awesome about the loss! I can't wait to hear your WI! I am having a hard time doing SBD since I am so stressed and at school all the time. I am still eating healthy though and losing I think so I'm doing good for now. I will restart SBD when the new term starts. I should be able to do it then, I have almost all night classes so I can be here with you all for more support. I think I need it!

Hi Chris, again glad to hear the news about your mom! I've heard about those books too, my psychology teacher has talked about them in our class. It's hard to hear stuff like that. Hope you have fun at the park. I'm sure you will burn some major calories playing b-ball with Tiana!

Chelle WTG on your february goal!! That is so awesome. It's good to hear your dh is supportive too. That's great!

Ok I need to get going, I hear the baby up. Hope you all have a great OP day!!
