Alai4067 - that is an awesome achievement. Exactly the motivation anyone needs to keep up the work. It does pay off. I wish I remembered that all the time, especially when I have to be away from the forum board for a few days. I completely lose focus.

So thanks for the motivation!

I'm glad everyone likes my P thing. its apparently a common pediatric trick, as all of my friends with perpetually constipated kids said 'oh, ya, we do that'.

So today I was supposed to have a work out buddy , but she bailed! And now, due to a change in my med schedule, i'm tired and having trouble finding the oomph to get up and do a workout. I think I'll the TBL LCW today, if i can get moving. my only alternative, since this is not a rest day, is to do a walk at home dvd. ugh..

oh yeah...the pear juice always helps those little ones with constipation! lol

medinazarley- Tell yourself just 10 minutes to get started. A lot of times, once you start moving you find you have more energy than you thought!

I also forgot to mention my awesome shopping today (which will serve as reward for my weightloss). We have 3 Lane Bryant stores going out of business in the area so I got a winter coat for $45 (originally $230), FIVE pairs of panties for $10 (normally $12-16 a pair), and FOUR bras for $32 (normaly around $32-36 each). I bought 3 of the bras, 2 of the panties, and the jacket a little snug so I'll have shrinking room. I also bought some long sleeve Ts for running at half-price yesterday

I did it! I finished the LCW, i told myself, self, the little guys gonna be up soon, the floor is clear of toys and the coffee table is moved, just do it!! And for further motivation, I promised myself a chocolate milk afterward ;). So I did it, and I'm planning on a 1 mile walk at home after dinner.

Good luck ladies!!

WTG medinaz :)
I just woke up from a nap...i laid down on the sofa at 11am and got up at 6pm...i didnt get to sleep that whole time, the kids kept coming to wake me up. and i was up for about an hour to make us some lunch. now i need to wake up some more. lol and make dinner. have to clean my kitchen - yikes! too many dishes to wash. so my DW will be getting a double workout tonight. lol ;) i dont do dishes. lol am spoiled by always living in a house with a dishwasher. so i'll just run a load then un/reload it and run again. lol
got DS in his 'daddy-like' boxer shorts...and so far he's gone potty once. pullups dont work with him and he refuses to go naked (which is what my old neighbor suggested i try, since she had two boys and it worked for them)...and i tried regular underwear (even Thomas ones), but he just used like a pullup. So i decided to try to go for the Daddy tactic....he looks up to his daddy alot - so i bought him boxer shorts that look just like his daddy;s....and it seems to be working :D :cheer: he likes being like his daddy - and this is the alternative to him 'freeballing' it.....so now he goes to the bathroom to potty, since he realizes that there's nothing there to hold his pee or poop from the floor. lol i still plan to use pullups for when we go out somewhere or to go to bed. but during the day at home, this seems like the best option if he is gonna get potty trained by August - so he can start prek. :D *fingers crossed* ;)

I did the BL LCW DVD and had the upper body an lower body sculpt toay.. Man I am very very sore... i will need a nice bath tonight...

Way to go medina and tricia!

armywife - I will send positive thoughts your way with the potty training! Good luck!

Getting ready to go to bed. Fingers crossed for tomorrow mornign's weigh in! good luck everyone!

AW-Good idea to get DS to potty train. I had to bribe mine with tiny slices of pumpkin pie once upon a time! I know...so unhealthy, but VERY effective. LOL

Had a good OP day today. Still not down to "start weight", darn it! But I'm getting closer each day, so maybe tomorrow I'll be back to a respectable number. I'm sorry in advance for any gain I may show. I will do better next week or at least try like the dickens!

I think a trip to walmart is needed tomorrow.. LOL

I have a go wear fit and I love it. I had no clue about my metabolism and it really keeps me accountable during the day.

Hey ladies. I didn't mean to ignore those of you who asked for the url to my revision of Angela's banner earlier in the week. I just wanted to wait it out and see what she came up with. But, well, I'm impatient, and I imagine she's quite busy with her own team. So if you want to use my revised version of Angela's banner just click "quote" on this post and you can copy the image URL from there. As far as I'm aware, Angela is still planning on making on her own revision to it as well. So keep you're eyes peeled for that (and I'll take no offense if you want to switch to hers when it becomes available. She is the original artist after all).

just figured out how to put DD's spelling list onto her new Didj she got for Christmas ;) So now when she plays a Spelling game (like Nancy Drew), she will be able to practice her spelling words for the week to study for the test on Friday :)
I think she'll have more fun 'studying' since she'll get to learn to spell the words to solve mysteries in Nancy Drew game ;) lol
well i'm going to bed....long day and didnt get much done, except nap and run a load of dishes in the DW. tomorrow i hope to get to sleep in past 8am. lol and clean some before DD's GS meeting in the afternoon ;)

thanks Ashley, I like that I can read this one ;)

Well GL to everyone for weigh in tomorrow (well later today, since it is 130am Sunday to me now);) TTYL ;)

Medina - how are you feeling this a.m. since doing the LCW dvd? I am incredibly sore... but at least i know i did something...

I couldn't find any HRM and calorie counter thingies (yup its the a.m.) at Walmart yesterday. I will have to wait til next w/e. I am working crazy hours this week.. 12 hr shifts mon-wed, and 8hr shifts fri-mon.. my one day off is thurs so i will probably actually look then..
