Hi everybody,

I was unfortunately not able to enter my weight in on time, so obviously it doesn't count, correct, and I guess this means that would be used against me as a freeebie week ?(My computer wasn't working, and my hubby ususally brings his labtop home on weekends, which he did but he forgot the charger so I had no way of getting them in...anyhow doen't matter, don't want to be a sore loser) Please let me know how this works.

Not having a really good day as I am just waiting to hear from son's doctors at Sick Kids as if I should be bringing him back in as he is not feeling well agai, but I will try to get back on later on tonight if everything works out okay. We've had a rough weekend, and although I have manged to stay on track with my food I feel mentally drained. I am hoping that if things are better this afternoon I can hopefully try to exercise as I really do miss it, and I would love to blow off some steam! Anyways, I have to run...I am not in great spirits today and need to focus on my baby(hew's 12 but will always be my baby boy!)...hope you all have a great day.

Take care.

Sara

Sara....I'm so sorry to hear about your son. I hope that everything is okay. I can certainly understand how that can wear on you. Not to worry about the WI, you get 2 freebies so you are good good. Exercise would be so good for you right now, it does wonders in helping our body deal with stress. Its hard to get into that mentality when you are in the thick of it though but you can do it. If you need to vent your team is here for you. Keep that chin up, I hope you get some sunshine in your life today!

Hi all -- Sorry to be MIA. I did get my weight in last night, but it was a gain. If only I could have counted this mornings weight instead. Somehow, in spite of many indulgences over the (long) weekend here, I managed to lose 2lbs. Weird, but good for next week's WI.

Sara -- I hope you get good news from your Dr. :hug:

Alright I am in on the recommitment. I am also in the ring with Melissa and Amber for that title. HEHEHEHE
I am going to have date with Billy (Blanks that is) everyday this week.

Way to go Angie!!! 2 lbs gone gone gone!!! Now, no more indulgences this week and you are going to make a run for that crown too! I think we've got a full on battle going on! LOL!! congrats on a great loss!!

Love....ooooohh training for the ring huh! I've got my eye on you missy! LOL!

Danielle...how's today going woman? Got the bull by the reigns again? Dont let that little devil on your shoulder win! You are MUCH stronger than any ol excuse you can come up with not to stick to your plan! I know you can do this!!

Some evil lady brought me M&M's today. Peanut, my favorite!! She said she just wanted to thank me for helping her out, but I suspect something more sinister. :devil: I think that Melissa actually set it up, to thwart my efforts to take her crown!! BUT I'M ON TO YOU! I gave all but two away, and I'm saving those two for after lunch tomorrow, I'll have them instead of my SF hot chocolate to take care of my afternoon chocolate fix.

:p I win this round m&m's!

WTG Amber! That takes a lot of restraint!!!

I can't let you beat me this week Charity :) I know you're on the recommitment wagon too. That means I have to be on my A game.

I don't want to run today :(

I ran. Go me.

Other than that though, I've been pretty worthless. I haven't done laundry in going on a month now... :) I'm gross

What have you guys been up to?

Well I am trying to put away what seems like a month of laundry. and right now I know I need to go see Billy right now, but I am soooo tired.
I met with Leslie this morning and we did 4 miles, but I want that title, so i am going to hop off of here and go see Billy for 8 minutes. Hey it's better than nothing, and his 8 minutes are hard...

Love, did you meet up with Billy? He will be really upset if you missed your date.

Amber, I think you are going to toast me! You are seriously hard core this week, you go!

As for me, I am doing well. Yesterday was my anniversary and I splurged a little too much, but I am back at it today - no messing around. My problem in previous weeks is that 1 day of splurging turned into a week, then 2 weeks, etc. But not this time!

I am entirely too sore to run today. I haven't been running in over 2 weeks! But, I am going to go for a walk, and maybe try to throw a little running in.

Have a great day everyone!

Oh I'm thinking Amber means some serious business!! Way to go saying NO!! You dont want any ol M&Ms anyway, I hear they are tainted!! And another way to go on getting your run in when you didnt want to do it!! Kick some butt girl!! You make me push that much harder!!

OOOH! Love too! Did you meet with Billy? And on top of Leslie..girls its gonna be a tight race this week I can tell already!! Excellent job Love!!

I've gotta go over and see what punishments I get, I had a really great day yesterday but didnt sweep and mop AGAIN! Darn it all anyway it would have been a no punishment day! On a REALLY good note I went out and walked while my dd was in track practice. 2 miles! go me!! And I didnt stray from plan not even a nibble yesterday and considering I made the family spaghetti which is my absolute favorite thats saying alot! Today will be just as good!

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!!

Hey Ann!...how'd the popcorn battle go at the movie?

LOL Shelby! I just read your post in the exercise challenge thread. We have a trampoline too and our girls LOVE for one of the adults to jump on it with them. We call it "spiking" because if you hit it just right you sent them sailing! That is an awesome workout, I about die on that thing! It definetly counts!!

Good morning Red Team!

Well, it's a beautiful sunny morning and I've already gotten my walk in today and had a smoothie with raspberries and yogurt for breakfast. I'm planning on working in the garden today, doing a bunch of mundane tasks around the house, and finishing prepping the bathroom for painting. Almost done, just have to finish washing one corner and take down the shower curtains, then I can set my son loose in there. I love having teenagers!

Melissa, I lost the battle with the popcorn, but I don't feel too bad. My total calories weren't super high for the day and yesterday I had an excellent day on plan. We stopped at a fruit stand and bought cherries to take to the beach with us. I love those and they feel like a special dessert/treat to me. Great work on the 2 miles and staying on plan. I know how challenging it is to make the family a special treat and not indulge yourself, or eat just a little bit.

Angie -- Congrats for kissing those 2 pounds good-bye!

Amber, Love, and Charity -- I will be watching you duel for the title. WTG! And Amber, great strategy with the m&ms.

Sarah -- I'm sorry about your son. I'm sending your family best wishes.

Hello to everyone else, hope you are all well/recovering.
