Good morning all!
Jen –
Congrats on being our biggest loser this week!! I think it’s great that your family could have the dinner conversation and resulting election. When I was young, science and history did not interest me at all. I was an A student, but I just didn’t retain the basic knowledge about these things that I wish I had. I’m politically challenged. We have a Jamaican intern this semester who was asking me about Super Tuesday yesterday at lunch. Wow – there’s a lot I don’t know.
I am curious what kind of law you passed. Was it for your family or did it relate more to American as a whole? I’m sorry you lost your lawsuit. I hope it wasn’t something like suing your family to help more around the house!!
Cassie – I know it’s frustrating to not lose like you think you should be. ½ pound is a loss. Congrats!
Nicoya – Sounds like you are having some significant life frustrations. Hang in there! I hope you can get the phone bill and housing situation figured out.
Laura – sounds like you're on track with your travel project. You’re doing great!
Emily – great job on the running! You’ll be able to whip out a 20 minute run with no problem. I have faith in you.
Rennie – great job on the 10 miles! That’s quite an accomplishment! Thanks for being our stand-up comedian yesterday!
Melissa – good luck on your presentation. Thanks for setting up our challenge too. I think it will be fun!
Cathy – great job on the exercise
Roni – great job on the swimming! I don’t know how to swim and I really wish I did.
Skinnyvibes – Hang in there. I hope you can beat the frustration soon. I love my exercise ball. I haven’t used it for a while. I should get that back out.
Terapet – your smoothie sounds good. Great job on the running. That’s something I haven’t ventured into yet.
Tina – Very funny about your son saying that he knows to brush his teeth and go to the bathroom before bed. I am 36 and when I’m at my parents house, my dad will still tell me to look both ways before I cross the street when I go on a walk. Oh, and don’t talk to strangers! My sisters and I laugh about it all of the time!
Now about me: I had a NSV this morning! First a little background info. I am
NOT a morning person. I am one of those obnoxious people who push the snooze a half a dozen times before getting up. It’s so bad that I set my alarm clock 20 minutes early. With my busy life (2 jobs) I just didn’t have the time or energy to exercise at night. I decided to stop the excuses and start getting up early to exercise in the mornings. I have been doing this since December. I have been pushing the snooze once in the morning. When it goes off, I push it again and turn a light on and have 9 minutes to get used to the light.
Well, this morning for some reason I looked at the clock and forgot about the 20 minute early time. I hopped out of bed panicked that I was running late. I went to the bathroom and got my shoes on. When I looked at the clock in the living room it was 20 til the hour. I thought “Crap, the battery must be dying.” Then it dawned on me that I was up early. Instead of going back to bed until my usual exercise time. I popped in a 45 minute video (instead of my usual 30 minute video that I do in the mornings). Yea, me!
Take care and have a great day everyone!
I went to look at the results, and was amazed that we've lost 7 people already. 
on your 10 mile marathon!!
