Hi!
I'm here & I've really missed you all! My plans to check in more often failed. DH decided to take an office day on Thurs. & a day of vacation on Friday! My PC's monitor will not turn on again & DH had his Lap Top tied up most of the time. Then.... when I had the chance to grab his laptop, all three of our phone lines were being used by dh! Thank goodness for cell phones, I at least had some line of communication!
Well, we have just about a month left of our personal challenges. I'm glad that I stuck to only a 5# challenge, as of today, I still need to work on the entire 5# yet! I didn't keep my promise to pedal either. Without having a PC and/or a working TV set, it's too boring to pedal for any length of time. So...I'll try again this week. I did get a chance to do some extensive cleaning/organizing in the past week though. Most days I worked up such a sweat that I had to change/ shower again by mid-day. (This should count towards something, shouldn't it?)
Mel: It sounds as though you & I are really going through an electronics crisis lately, huh? Congrats on losing almost 45# too! I sure wish that I had a current success story to tell you all right now! I'd be very much interested if you would post the 8 steps for us. By just knowing & following the points system, I can be somewhat successful if I put my willpower into it. Lately, I've been better off at taking hour naps instead of hour workouts. I think it's due to the new meds that I'm on. I sure wish I'd get the "Spring Chicken" feeling back again! As for your new pup: They're a lot of work, but it's so rewarding to watch them, isn't it? Our Mamma Kitty's litter of kittens are over a month old now & are so much fun to watch. I'd love to keep them all, but I know it's impossible. I'm sure I won't have a dry eye when it's time to part with them. I'm trying to find homes for them where I know the people, so I'd still have the chance to visit them once in awhile.
Sassypie: I hope you enjoyed every minute of your downtime the other day. As for your measurements & weightloss results: I wouldn't worry too much about it! As you probably know by now-muscle weighs more than fat & takes up less room on your bod. As long as your clothes are getting loose, I wouldn't worry too much.
Ginny: You busy gal, you! Somehow you still manage to get your walks in, good for you!! How's your yellow submarine been treating you lately? Have you been spending less time living in it lately, or are you still doing the am & pm routes yet? Hang in there, you crazy Mom! (You have to be nuts or go nuts driving a school bus!!)
Well, my dd just woke up & she's not feeling well, so I'd better scoot. TTFN!
