good for you karen! one day on plan is a real accomplishment in my book.
I need to get back on plan. I have been battling some sort of UTI or pelvic infection (they can't tell which so are treating me for both, or either, or whatever) and have felt terrible. First bad pain, now queasiness and tiredness from the medicine to treat the infection & pain. Tomorrow should be much better and I'm planning to work out during nap time - haven't done that since Sunday! It's supposed to rain all day here so it'll be library day with the kids.
We got "Enchanted" from Netflix - anyone else seen it? We watched about 1/2 of it tonight then the kids had to go to bed so we'll finish tomorrow. DH and I were cracking up! I didn't expect to like it so much. That Amy Adams is just so perfect as a flaky princess!
Ya'll, it's hard to keep your mind out of the gutters with our porny cheerleaders. Umm, I mean, pommy cheerleaders.
Anna, are you a golfer, is that what your userid means? Well, get that little climbing girl into a gymastics class as soon as she hits 3 and they will keep her happy. I knew I was in trouble when mine started rapelling out of ther crib repeatedly at 8 months (yeah) and walk/running at 10 months. I was sitting there thinking, how will it sound when I tell the dr., 'her arm is broken bc she kept crawling out of her crib.' I mean, how many times can you justify putting her back in when the end result is the same. I quit after 2 times. Safety gates were also a game to her - she just went over them. Never understood the purpose of those until my second, who would see the gate and say, ooo, gate, stay away from that. I never even remotely considered that kids would do that (be compliant) until she came along. But it's all good - my wildchild is in 3 travel sports now. As they say, a racehorse has gotta run. You can't fight em or change em, just get them channeled into a good challenging activity.
I made it through on-plan day 1. My tiredness did make me start craving some sugary carbs yesterday afternoon, but I managed to pull through without throwing in the towel once again. No exercise yet. I’m not making excuses, but I’ve just been too exhausted to seriously consider exercise. Speaking of which, I got some great sleep last night....could have slept for a few more hours, but I have to get the kiddos off to school. Lucky Daddy…snoring away!
Dee – Sorry to hear that Biloxi threw you off-plan a bit. Glad to hear that you’re right back on track! How’s the cold? Hope its not coming back in full force. Karen – so glad to hear that you stayed on plan yesterday and are feeling more energetic. (Yep, we were silly yesterday…but, I didn’t have that sugary carb laden snack to get me through the afternoon sleepies!) Heather – I hope you start feeling better soon. BTW, loved Enchanted! We watched that with the DD’s on Sunday. Of course, anything with Dr. McDreamy has to be good stuff! Nori – Our weather here has been just crazy….snow flurries earlier in the week and sunshine for the last day. Does this weather kill your sinuses like mine?
A couple of my neighborhood ladies have started walking in the evening and have invited me to join them. My only problem is that they walk during a very busy time for me….5:30ish, but Hubby is encouraging me to do it. I guess he’s okay with assuming 100% responsibility for taking care of the kiddos for their evening regimen. I’m not sure how fast these ladies walk, but the workout would probably be a pretty good one with the hills in our neighborhood. I’m waffling here….part of me is very self conscious about being the fat one who can’t keep up or gets out of breath. Wow...I'm whiney today!
Hope everyone has a great on-plan day.

I just checked and, unfortunately, I have none of her Dark (vampire) series here. I got rid of all my paperback books when we moved last June. I bet you could find them at a used book store. Her books are very popular. My favorite in the Dark series are Dark Guardian, Dark Gold and Dark Challenge.
I also like her Drake Sisters series......about 8 sisters that are witches. Another great storyline. I do have one of her Ghost walker series here (enhanced paranormal soldiers). Another great story line. All of her books have really intriguing characters and are yummy!
BTW, I'm excited about having a fresh start on another challenge. I want to be like some of the other great losers who've lost 15+ pounds this go around. And, who wouldn't want to be like our very own Kelly who's lost 28.6 pounds on this challenge?! Wow!
Unfortunately, that is all I have lost. I didn't gain, but didn't lose this week either, the suprise is that I didn't gain. I have eaten off plan (no too horrible, but not great either), I haven't exercised ... I could blame it on the new job, but I eat good while I am at work, it is once I am home. I didn't even do my Last Chance Workout on Tuesday night, which is the first time I have missed it this season, and it wasn't like I wasn't home, no, I sat on the couch and watched ... I need to be beat!
On another note, I read Christine Feehan. I read the Drake Sisters, the Dark series, and the Ghostwalker series. I love all her stuff. I have read the Brotherhood series (Chelle got me hooked when she mentioned them and I read them all in 4 days) ... I am just waiting for the next book.
Well feel free to give me a tongue lashing for my diabolical behavior regarding the scale. I evidently need it
Well its Thursday.... the day before the day before the weekend officially kicks off.
My to do list is growing by the minute this morning and so is my headache. I wish a lot of things were different this morning... but alas, they are things and events that are out of my control so the headache persists to grow.
The first big thing I need to do is get the FAQ up... let's see if I can get it posted and not have anyone be argumentative about it. Sometimes I wonder if this is all more trouble than it's worth. I'm really hoping that this next round is not going to be a bunch of whining and drama like this one was. I kinda felt like while the system improved... the quality dropped. But that's just me.
So anyway I'll be around... just feeling kinda moapy this morning.

You've even gotten through V's book?! *gasp* If so you're ahead of me!
Me thinks now that you are done with the Brotherhood til June you should join my book exchange.
Which BTW... Rhonda & Lisa... your books are getting sent out at lunch!
Kelly... I want you to win this challenge so bad its making my head spin... You've been spanking @$$ this whole challenge and I'd really hate to see you lose it because of ... well yea... I'd just hate to see you lose cause I know in my heart you are supposed to win it.
Awwww don't be moapy! Do some jumping jacks or go for a walk on your lunch break, it'll lift your mood. And OF COURSE IT'S WORTH IT!!!!Look at the silly fun we had yesterday. I'm thinking the good here outweighs the bad.

I think I'm getting mushy inside.
Clothes that don't require an "X" or a "W" AFTER the number is winning in my book. I have be wearing regular size 16-18 and XLs. I have on 18 dress pants this morning and they are roomy. I also have on a size 18 dress button down top. This is the first non "Women" sized top that buttons that I have been able to wear in ... well I don't remember when so that is saying something. That's pretty cool.
I am back on track eating wise, but really have to get the exercise going. That really seems to be my downfall right now.
my, my, we had an interesting day in here yesterday it is much more pleasant to read kinky fun than arguments, so I'm happy with it. My scale is showing me nice numbers for my end of month WI, so I'll be giving our team a boost this week...finally!!!
rhonda--try walking with them just once, you can't pass it up just because you'll be "the fat one" I am sure they don't think of you that way, just remind yourself it's all in your head, and the walking will make you not the fat one eventually.
Kelly, YAY for regular sized clothes! That shows your progress better than the scale ever could!
so it'll be library day with the kids.
