I've been kinda scarce around here. I've been wanting to contribute more, just haven't had time. ( I know, gotta make time, or just have the world make 30 hours in a day )

Fun News: My sister had a baby girl, and made me a first time Aunt. I am also the Godmother, and can't keep cuddling her. She is absolutely adorable.

Bad News: I have been to the gym once since Monday ( the day my sister had Whitney ) I've been visiting my sister every day since she was in the hospital of the same city I work in. I would stay for hours too, just to hold the little bundle of joy.

So, I finally went to the gym last night. Only did 30 minutes on the eliptical and then some weights, hope to make it to the gym again tonight and at least once over the weekend. Food has been fairly good as well. Trying to stay within 1600 calories a day. I haven't gained any but also haven't lost any. I want to be in the 180's so darn bad!

Anyway, just wanted to update everyone. Hope to get back into the full swing of things starting now, and get to posting with all of you on a daily basis again.

welcome back. and dont' worry about the gym, life happens, just start back up when you can.

Congratulations! I want to be an aunt so bad but my brother said he and his girlfriend don't ever want to have any children

Congrats on being an aunt!! Sometimes it's the small things in life that need to take precedence. The gym is still there as you found out last night. You have stayed on plan and that is something to be proud of.

Welcome back. Congrats on being an Aunt and staying on program!

Welcome back and a big congratulations to you on becoming an Aunt! You're going to love it.

Welcome back and congrats Auntie

Few things are more important than going to the gym, but being an aunt is one of them! Congrats!

Congratulations girl! Good for you for sticking to plan! Just get back to the gym soon lol. I recently missed two days in the gym (longest stretch in a few months) and man was I sore when I got back

Congrats on your new niece. Like everyone has said sometimes there are other things in life that are a little more important. You stayed on program that's all that matters. Even if you can't make it to the gym try and do something at home like a dvd. When I can't get to the gym I go up and down the stairs a few times. I have 2 flights of stairs. 13 steps each. I just run updown several times as fast as I can. It's not much but it's some form of physical activity

Welcome back ... and congrats on being an aunt .. how exciting

Thanks Everyone. Spent many hours with her today so my sister could get some other things done while I held her, like sleep, shower, and eat. She is such a bundle of joy! I'll try and post a pic soon.

what a great sister!!
