Back at it: Have fun spinning!! Anything you have to say will be interesting to me! You rock!

Christian: Sorry...I did a YOOHOO call to you and I forgot you just posted last night. Sorry...but I do still miss you. The work you are doing for TOPS is awesome..

Hi guys. I am exhausted, I have not slept well the past few nights, I guess getting into routine again after the holidays is catching up. I worked out for 30 mins today which is good, I am aiming for 30 mins during the week and 1 hr on the weekend. I may do a mid week weigh in tomorrow, not sure. I think I am going to try to get some rest. I will try to catch up this weekend. Tomorrow my daughter has to cheer at a basketball game so it will be hectic hectic tomorrow evening.

Hattie22 - Hahahaha..that os funny that they think that you are obsessed with going on to
this site... hehe it is kind of addicting ....but it is for a very very very good cause. Call
us your second family :) I know what you mean about when there are clicks ...I too think that
some do not even realize it.I am sitting here laughing about you saying you have to carry all
the TOM paraphernalia where ever you go....It just got my giggle bug going... lol Hang in there
we are here for ya~




Back at it - I hope your back feels better. Maybe if you take a nice hot bath it might help it

Ok you gals are going to laugh at me again .. what is TOPS?


Neast - yay 30 minutes work out ... that is good even though you are exhausted you still did
it...so that is more than good. :) Get some rest..... and have fun seeing your daughter doing her
cheer~

Today I did really good, and tonight we are having tuna salad and soup for dinner. I am hungry!!!

Talk you ladies later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Wow, this thread is poppin ::D I LOVE IT!! I wish I had more time to post..I have got to get high speed internet at my house :eek: It just takes me ages to load the pages, hubby says we will get high speed as soon as income tax comes in so I will happy :carrot:

Hattie- I am here :wave: I too cant wait to see all of you and how you are doing, I just feel as if I have known you girls forever :hug:

Neast- You take care of yourself and be sure to get some rest ok, and enjoy your daughters game, I know she loves having you there to cheer her on ;)

Back at it- Oh I hope your back is better soon, I think it is awsome that you work out even with it giving you trouble, you are deticated :yes: :D

urockmom- :woohoo: on your exercise sis!!!!

Fullsteam- Closet cleaning??? Are you available tommorow to do mine too :lol: they need it!

Sass- Glad to see you are doing so well , I love these short challenges too :cheer:

Ms Perception- Way to go on your loss :woohoo: I think it is great to see all that work pay off and yours sure is :yes:

well all I had better do my exercise post and then head to bed, Have a great night everone :grouphug:

Jaya- Enjoy our supper chic...it sounds yummy :)

Hey everone! It's so great to see the activity on here. Today has been good. I was OP yesterday except for I did snag a couple chocolate covered almonds from the kids. Once again I skipped my formal exercise, but I shoveled and scraped ice off my driveway for a hour which REALLY should count as a workout!!!
Christian- Thanks for you wonderful encouragement and yeah on getting high speed!
FullSteam- I am also cleaning out closets today, but it's because we're trying to seel the house, not to redecorate. In a sick way, I kinda enjoy it! I don't like clutter.
Sass- I'm with you...these shorter challenges are right up my alley. I need to feel like there's somehting to shoot for in the short term.
Jay- TOPS is Taking Off Pounds Sensibly, a weight loss group similar to WW sort of. They do a weekly meeting and weigh-in, but I think they're non-profit...so no products really.
Neast-Sounds like a busy time, so good for you for staying on track with things! It stinks not getting good sleep. Hopefully things will settle into a better routine soon and you can get the rest you need. Until then, enjoy seeing you daughter cheer and take one day at a time.

To everyone else, have a great day and wish me luck going out and trying to do more work on clearing my driveway!

Hi Family :grouphug:

Today is a tough day for me....I feel blah...and I was talking to a co-worker and she said do you take vitamins...I was like oh gosh no. She said you might want to take like a daily...so that you can give something back to your body. You are working out, and eating less. She gave me some 1 a days that she has from the health food store. She said she is going to buy more for her self. I was like wow thank you~ So I just took them ......ok so now I want to feel like popeye atfer he has his spinach..hahahahahhahaha :rofl:

I am going to push myself to work out today....I feel draggy..:halffull:..help I need a boost...heheheh...

How is everyone doing???

I'm draggin' my butt around today, all this time off work/school is brutal, I need my routine back!! Wah, Wah! LOL!
Looking forward to weigh in on Monday though!!
Have a good day!

Jaya- You push yourself sis, just do it :lol:

Wendy- I am sure you will have a great weigh in Monday, I cant wait to hear about your loss :D

Hi everyone :wave:

Jaya: Jump on here :moped:and we will take a long ride and chill out! Maybe that will give you a boost! We have to stop by Back at it's house because she is dragging her butt.. If that is not going to work....here is a magic spell for boost..:wizard: Just know that we are here for you!


Ms Perception: Oh yeah... Shoveling should definitely count!!!

Neast: Did you get some sleep?

urockmom: Are you feeling better? Did you get to have that yummy salmon? I love salmon! I am the only one in the family that will eat it. More for me!!!

I am eating OP and exercising although I missed this morning's workout. I talked myself into sleeping in a little. If I can get myself to do some tonight..that would work...yeah right. Just not in the mood. Ok ..maybe I will. Love how I am talking to myself? Hi Fullsteam, Christian, Lene, Luckymom, SBD ...did I miss anyone?

Talk to you later...because I am obsessed with this!!

LOL.....thank you guys.... I did pick myself up...I took some vitamins...that helped and I worked out for 30 minutes on the tread mill and did 5 minutes on the arms....thank you thank you...see this is why I am so happy with my family we are here to help each other out......

Yes...I am here again! OBSESSED!

I just remembered..I had to ask urockmom..

Did you finish the book World Without End by Ken Follett? I got it for Christmas and I am just about done. Only a few pages left. I don't want it to end!! I think I like this one more than Pillars of the Earth.

Talk to you later...Family:grouphug: (taken from Jaya)

Hi Girls! I did read everyone's posts but I'm sorry I don't have time for personals tonight. I have gotten into the habit of staying up too late. I get up at 5:15 for work in the morning so I'm going to try to go to bed a little earlier then I had been. Plus I just read that people who are sleep deprived have a tendency to have weight issues.

Dh and I both got our exercise in for today. I did 42 min on the ellipitical and he did 32 on the stationary bike. I also did squats and Taebo kicks while making dinner. (that was a sight :D) Dh and I normally put all the food on the dinner table and everyone makes their own plates. We decided to portion out the food for the kids in the kitchen and then we take our plates and vitamins to the table. Everyone is allowed as many veggies as they want. We don't want anyone to leave the table hungry but we found we would just keep refilling our plates as long as there was food still on the table before. I guess we'll see if this helps.

Goodnight everyone!
I'll check-in tomorrow. :grouphug:

lene~ hope that works for you!!
Ugh, just can't get motivated today :( heres hoping for a better tomorrow!
night all!

Hi girls, ay ay ay! I am tired! came to say goodnight! I have lots to tell you but more tomorrow, I have been researching and sheming! What more can I do? Going to bed, catch you tomorrow girls, ......... be good.

Hey Girls!! Sorry I have been MIA, I have been running CRAZY!! Last night the game didnt end until 8:30 and we didnt get home until 9, then baths, etc and it was 10 :30 before we fell asleep. I managed to get in 13 mins on a stationary bike and thats it. :( Oh well 13 is better than nothing. I FINALLY got some sleep Wed. night, but I cheated and took an OTC sleeping pill. I finally got the sleep I needed and felt great Thurs morning. I had been up and down the previous 2 nights.


BUT.............Big news is..I lost another 3.5 lbs for a total of 8.5 lbs!!!!!!!
1.5 lbs away from my valentines goal.

TTYL!!
Niki

Neast - way to go! you are so close to your goal and we still have over a month to go!

Ok, it's been a while since I've posted on this thread, but I thought I would give a little update. I've been really good about staying OP for the most part...the cup of whole wheat couscous last night may have been pushing it. :-) Maybe half a cup would have been better, but it was my only starch of the day, so I figure it was pretty good of me - right?
I'm up a little early (dog getting sick woke me up) so I'm going to try for a full hour of wii fit before work.

V-day challenge...
SW: 200
CW: 194.6 (-5.4 whoohoo!)
GW: 185

Wow, theres some major loss' here! Good for you all!!
Today I have a meeting and then take my mother to the store...which means dinner out most likely because she shops all day. Thats fine. I will behave. By the time I get home and get my son ready for bed I'm goingto be beat, hope I have the energy to go for a spin on the s/bike!
Have a great day everyone!

Hi everyone, Happy Friday :)

How are you ladies? It was great to read your posts, as always. I am ok here, hanging in there. Yesterday was an off day for me (i was down). I did some research on smoking cessation etc. and weight and basically was frustrated with a few things.......guess I am going to have my days. I needed to change my mindset fast or I would and will be in trouble, so I did a little more reading (positives) and did some rethinking regarding my plan of attack.
I did start working out on the treadmill and I am doing very well with that, ty ty to all of you for the insipiration and for the thread, I love it! Apparently, I need to walk at least 40 min. a day just to keep my metabolism where it was before when I smoked. ok, so be it! I have been splitting up my workouts into sessions. I was keeping a close eye on the scale this past week ladies and it's frustrating me big time so I think I am going to have to put the scale away for a bit. I have also been keeping a diary and writing everything that passes my lips. I definitely can improve in the calorie sector and in that area so I will be working on that this week. Basically, I need to give myself some time and not get too obsesses with the numbers or scale right now (and improve where I can like the eating) or it may ultimately be my downfall........can't let that happen...so anyways, that's my plan girls , sorry to ramble like this.

I think everyone is doing wonderful, let's keep on truckin : ) You know something? I am going to post this incase I lose my connection and I will be right back! lol :)

ok back again, I am being a good girl and sipping on my water, :D

Christian, hi there girl! :) ty again for that exercise thread, it has been a tremendous help. Oh, regarding the wii fit and walmart. Last weekend we went there and they were out, the guy said when it comes in they sell out within 2 hours! wow! The other store said they are out and wont have any for a few weeks, high demand for sure! Whoever invented that must be sitting real pretty right now! lol. Take care of yourself Christian and enjoy the weekend : ).

Ms perception, wtg on being OP....hope your having another great day today. I scraped and shoveled some ice yesterday too, only for a half and hour and boy is that a workout alright! You burn a lot of cals doing that. When I went back out there late afternoon to do some more, it had all frozen already! Good thing I did what I did. Hope your having a great day : )

Hey Jaya :) I am glad that you are feeling better. That was awfully nice of your coworker giving you the vitamins and you remind me to take mine too! I bought some one a days for women and they are sitting there on the counter so thanks for the reminder : ). Wtg on getting that workout in Jess.....tis a new day today and hope it's a real good one for you.

Hi back at it, sorry to hear you were having one of those days yesterday and hope you have a great time with your mom at the store today too. Sometimes a little pick me up is in order during those just blah times, whatever that may be. It can help get the mindset back. Enjoy your day with your mom and if your shopping and all you will be moving and burning cals...enjoy your dinner as well....have fun today :)

Hattieeeee :lol: lol @talking to yourself! Too funny! lol, just love ya! hug. Gosh, I am doing the same thing today, should I take the day off or not? :dizzy: Bravo for staying OP Hattie, your doing so great...you keep going strong :).

Hi Lene :) sounds like you have been scheming as well! Hope it works out, let us know how it goes. Lene, good for you doing the tae bo and squats while making d inner, was hubby there watching? lol :) I bet he enjoyed that. Keep up the great work Lene and happy Friday , hug.

ok posting before i lose all this and coming back.

Neast, congratulations on the weight loss! :cheer2::cheer2: That is super! I am glad that you caught up on some sleep the other night and feel better. Happy w eekend :).

Hi bexx :) , wtg on the weight loss thus far, keep up the good work.


urockmom, hiiiiii there. How are you? Hope things are well on your end. It sure is nice to see the s un today though we are due for a storm tomorrow afternoon, ugh! Meeting my folks for lunch tomorrow versus dinner, at least we will get out before the snow starts. I always look foward to seeing them. Do you have any skiing planned for this weekend? Whatever you have planned, hope it's a great weekend...hug.


Hope you all have a great weekend ladies, keep up with the super work...one day at a time! Talk soon :hug:

Wow! A lot of people losing!!:congrat: Neast and Bexx! I am holding the same for a couple of weeks. Oh well...I'll keep going. It will break soon.

Fullsteam: Great going on the journal!!! It does really help!! Accountability!
Remember you are my hero! Not to put pressure on you but I am looking forward to all of your successes.

Lene: Great job for you and hubby!!! You both are going to rock this challenge together!

Hi to everyone! I am sure I will be back on because I AM obsessed!

Hi to everyone! :grouphug:

I am sorry that I have been missing the last two days, just super, super busy running around. Sounds like there have been some really big losses!!!

Way to go Niki and Bexx!!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Fullsteam~ We all have our days when this seems virtually impossible. You are facing two really big challenges and have to know that there will be good days and bad. The best is that you are getting in your exercise, doing your journal, and coming here for support and encouragement!! We are here for you and you are doing great!!! :cheer2:

Jaya~Awesome job on the vitamins. I read another thing today that says we are supposed to get 400 IU of Vitamin D everyday, especially if we are exercising. That is like a half-gallon of milk so I am trying to be really faithful to my multi-vitamin as one of my New Year's resolutions. (OK, maybe that is my only resolution! :D )

I got in a short workout last night but then really blew things up today by skiing for 4+ hours. There was virtually no one on the mountain so it was ski down, jump on lift, ski down, jump on lift, ski down,..... My legs were burning rocks by the end and I am planning on going back for more tomorrow! :dizzy: I probably won't be able to walk by this time Saturday.

Family is home so I've got to run! Happy to report a 2# loss this week so staying OP works! :hug: to all!!!

Hi Ya Family :grouphug:

Well today I am doing oky doke....I didnt get to the treadmill today because I have so much work. That means that I am going to work out tomorrow after I clean. You would all hit me on the head :rollpin: because I have 5 exercise machines at home. The ab lounge, a trampoline, health rider, some kind or ab chair, and a treadmill. Ya, so there is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO reason why I cant get my butt on one of them this weekend...hahahahha

Hey ladies. Today was busy, so I didn't get on 'til now, but good news! I lost 1.4# today...finally a break in my weight. I'd been at a bit of a standstill for a few days. AND I finally worked out today!! I got back to 30 day shred. I don't know why, but today just clicked for me and I feel like I'm getting back to pre-Christmas form. I am still 7.6 from my V-day goal, but I am confident that I can get there.
Keep up the good work everyone!!

Ms Perception -:cheer::yay: that is awesome....keep up the great work!!!!!!!

OK, just warning you all from the start that this is a bit of a rant. :tantrum:

I am just super hugely annoyed at the :devil: scale today. (Aside: Why don't we have a bad scale smilie?)

Anyway, so I usually have my official weigh in on Friday and post the news that day but weigh myself everyday just to keep on track. So, this week I weighed on Wednesday and was down 2 pounds and then didn't have time to weigh on Thursday or Friday so I used Wednesday's weight. OK, following me here???

SOOOO, today I get on the scale and it is UUUUUPPPPP 2.5 pounds!!!!! What the heck????? :?: I don't lose 2.5 pounds in 2 days. How am I gaining it in 2 days??? And, I have been exercising and eating OP! :mad:

So, I am going to up my water over the weekend and be really strict on the food but I am just sooooo annoyed. It doesn't help that I was at 160 on Wednesday and was poised to get into the 150's for the first time in at least a decade so I was really, really psyched!

OK, that's it. Just a rant to start the morning. And no, I am not changing the stupid *&%$#** ticker!!!

urockmom- Ok, so I know how you feel, happens to me all the time, and usually it can be blamed just on simply being a woman :eek: Our weight can fluctuate up to 2 pounds or more just depending on the time of month...is it close for you?? If not it can be as simple as your muscles retaining water from exercising and that has happened to me too, when I was at Curves, never the less, it isnt real weight and it will be gone probably by morning or before, hang in there sis :hug:

Neast- 3.5 pounds!!!! You are rocking it girl!!! :woohoo: I am amazed!

Bexx- WOW!!! 5.4!!! :celebrate: YOU ROCK!!!!

Fullsteam- Hey sis :D Well I am with you...40 minutes on that treadmill is worth it if it helps you keep from smoking and keeps your metabolism going strong, I just want you healthy and quitting smoking is an awsome way to reach that goal :yes:

Hattie- I am obsessed too, I cant wait to get high speed internet then I can check it as often as I want too ;)

Jaya- Which lucky piece of equitment will it be today sis??? I have a treadmill, a bike a weightbench and a wii fit here too and it looks like the wii has replaced most of them for me , I have a whole workout room and there is no excuse for me either, we will just have to remind each other of that from time to time ;)

Ms perception- Way to go on the 1.4 pounds lost :carrot: You are just doing wonderful too, Is the 30 day shred as hard as it looks??

Well here are my stats for the week
12-27-08 My Birthday!! :carrot: 158.5 YIKES!!
1-3-09 157.5
1-10-09 156.5
so 1 more pound down, and 2 more to go, I am happy with that too because I am not doing any sort of eating plan other than moderation at the moment and exercising, hope everyone has a great weekend and know I am here cheering for you all the way :cheer:

Congrates on all of those who have lost. I'm in a hurry to post will update more later. I'm down 2.6lbs

Christie-The shred is no walk in the park, that's for sure.:lifter: But when time is limited it REALLY hits the spot for an effective workout!
Here's my official post for the weekly weigh-in:
1-3: N/A
1-10: 186.6

I ate a Chinese last night:hun:, but made a good choice...chicken, veggies and rice. I think it may have held me in place weight-wise, though. At least I feel motivated to be active again. The lack of motivation was the really frustrating thing about this past week. I have you ladies to thank for getting me out of that funk!!:thanks:

Hi everyone:wave:

Well...I knew this 10 lbs was going to be hard. I haven't lost one yet...but that is ok. I am carrying on..
1/3: 216
1/10:216

urockmom: Don't get discouraged! You are doing awesome with all that skiing!! I have that happen to me throughout this journey. It is very frustrating! It will go down!! I promise you!!! Just keep going!! I think our bodies just need to readjust. If I can do it...I know you can!! Let's rock this vday challenge together!! Even if the stupid scale doesn't show our progress, let's look at other things. Clothes fitting better, more energy, pride in sticking with it, and so on...

Christian: :bravo: Congrats on the loss! One step at a time and you are almost there!!!

Keeper: Congrats on the loss!!!!:cheer3::cheer2:
Ms Perception: :cheer3: Congrats to you also!!

Jaya: You crack me up...dragging your feet...LOL Did you get them moving any faster yet?

Ok...I hit my 5 mth anniversary today! I am sooo happy! Never have gone that long before. Have a great day everyone!!!

Just wanted to report I'm now only 6.2# from my V-day goal. I kinda had to force myself onto the elliptical last night, but at least I finally DID IT! These are the little victories that raise my confidence to keep going and believe this is forever.

Hubby had a great week, he lost 3lbs. I only lost a lb but hopefully will have a better week this week. I behaved all week so I'm not sure why I didn't lose more but I know that scale doesn't always recognize my efforts. :D My dh felt that way the week before.
I had 2 busy days on Fri and Sat so I need to do a couple of extra long workouts this week.

Ms Perception~ you are doing great, I'm sure you'll hit your goal

Hattie~ I'm sorry the scale is stuck. I have no doubt that one day soon it will start moving again. I hope the same is true for me. My body seems to like 153 (my mind thinks my body is just stupid for liking that number so much) :D

Keeper~ great job on the loss!

Christie~ the scale is moving the right way :hug: great job!

urock~ you know as frustrating as it is, this happens to all of us. The good news is normally a week later the pounds just fall off. But in the mean time, I hate your scale too. Piece of junk it is!

fullsteam~ sorry you are having a hard time right now. You are taking on 2 important and huge challenges. You are doing exactly what you should be and can't let the scale get the best of you. I know I told you before (and will tell you again I'm sure) but I'm so proud of you! :hug:

Jaya~ Hi to our cute little cheerleader, hope your motivation has returned! :kickbutt: ( I hate violence but it has to be done)

It's a new week everyone let's go after some losses!!!!:carrot::dust::carrot:

:congrat: Lene and DH!!!!! :cheer2::cheer3::cheer3::cheer3:

You both are rockin it!!! Throw some over here!!!

I can't believe how fast time is going by, only a bit over a month left untill the end of the challenge! I had a small loss this week and I'm shooting for 2 pounds this week!

Hi everyone!! I have officially met my Valentines day Goal..I am down 10.5 lbs :carrot: So lets see what else I can do.

Christian-One lb gone, is one less you have to lose!! Congrats :D

Keeper - 2.6 lbs is awesome!! Keep up the great work

Ms Perception-The hardest part for me is eating out, at home I have all this will power, but I go out and its like I have never seen food before and I go crazy!! You made very wise choices

Hattie-Over 40 lbs in 5 mths..I hope I can do that!! Plateaus are very discouraging, but youre doing great.

Lene-how nice to have someone to lose weight with. My hubby doesnt even want ME to lose weigh! Congrats to you both!!

I gotta go to work, If I missed you I will catch you next time!!

Niki

Hi ladies. I'm back on track with my routine. I missed a few days of exercise last week but I know this will be a better week. I updated my ticker this morning and it says my v'day goal is 33% complete! It is freezing outside this morning so I think I'll do a dvd. I also saw a new one that I want to get by Denise Austin. I'll probaby go get it today.

Goodmorning ladies :) Hope everyone had a great weekend. we met my parents at a restaurant for lunch Sat., had a very nice time and the haddock was fresh! We had another snowstorm here Sat. night and it sure is nice to see that sun shining today!

urockmom, hang in there! It's got to be a fluctuation of sorts like the girls said. It will go back down, the scale does stupid things once in awhile! ah ha! Your doing great, keep at it. Hope you had a great weekend and a good time skiing :)

Jaya, that emoticon is too funny! :lol: Hope you had a good weekend as well and got your workout in. You workout after you clean? I admire your energy. In the past, what would happen to me is after cleaning I would sometimes be too tired to do my workout after so I always do it before now and then the cleaning later! Speaking of cleaning, I have plenty of it to do this weekend, lol. Have a great day Jaya.

Ms.perception, congratulationssssss on the loss :carrot::carrot: and for completing the 30 day shred phase 1 thingy. wtg!

Congratulations also to Christian, keeperofthehome, lene and dh, bikini, neast, and mommy. :carrot::carrot::carrot::cheer: Hope I didn't leave anyone out but I really feel everyone is doing a terrific job in so many ways, with weight loss, and/or exercise, eating healthier, etc...with this said, a big congratulations to you all :):carrot::carrot::carrot: Let's keep it rockin.

Lene, hi there : ) hug, thanks girl. Boy did I need to hear that! lol. Ohhhhhhh, I am so happy for you and DH, congratulations on the weight loss to both of you! :carrot::carrot:. I think it's so nice that you are doing it together. Have a great day :)

Hattie, ty as well. With the attitude you have, about not losing one and saying , "thats ok" that you knew it might be a little difficult at this point but th at your going to keep going..........you know that just by sticking with it and not letting it get the best of you psychologically you are sure to take it to the finish line! wtg hattie! :) Keep up the awesome work and ty also for inspiring me to hang in there as well to do the same! hug. Congrats on the 5th anniversary :carrot::carrot: :)

Hi Christian : ) thanks and congrats on the losssss :carrot:


Neast,,,,,,, you have met your V day goal!!!!!!!!!!!! :) right on! :carrot::carrot::carrot: congratulations to you :cheer2::cheer2::congrat: That is an awesome loss neast, congrats again :).

bluemommy, I did denise austin for years in the past,,, she is wonderful! I think you will be happy with her dvd, do let us know how you like it.


Well, I must run. I am doing okay here ladies, hanging in there. I have my plan of attack all set for this week and still battling it. I'll keep you posted. THanks to all for your support, it means a lot. Keep up the great work everyone, catch you soon :hug:

I did some "overeating" last night. I didn't eat unhealthy foods, just ate when I wasn't hungry because I was frustrated. I know, I know...so dumb!!! I did exercise right afterwards, but the idea is to NOT turn to food. I didn't even think I was much of an "emotional eater", but I guess I need to watch out for that. Anyway, back on track and ready to enjoy a healthy day.

Hey all!
Hope it's not too late to joing your challange! I am looking to drop 10 pounds...and hopefully 7 of those by Feb 14th. Truth be told I would be happy with 5 pounds down right now. All my cute clothes are feeling tight on me and I feel the padding...at 5 feet, 10 extra pounds is quite a bit....ugh.

Though I'm pretty distraught that I allowed it to get this far....I'm not going to mope....back on the exercise wagon.

Hoping to get to know all of you!
