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!!!

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.
