Good Evening Ladies

After work I took my dog to the vet. He's having some skin problems (dry skin), & i wanted to get him checked again. Anyway, when we were there I went ahead & weighted him. He has gained 5 lbs since November... Ok... he normally weights 33-35 lbs. which is not much, but he now weights 41 lbs. I thought to myself... ok...it's bad enough i'm overweight,... but shame on me for giving him to many treats. I told the vet that in the winter months we stopped walking (too cold, to dark etc. too many excuses...) anyway I told the vet we are starting our routine of walking again. So tonight I walked 2 miles, he walked 1. Tomorrow is my weight in.. kinda of nervous... I feel like I have been eating well, but today I had some popcorn & I know there was way too much salt on it... So i'm trying to drink lots of water..I'm also trying to eat more veggies.

Mooz - Your so lucky that your leader does not charge. Our charges if you miss unless your in the hospital. WAY TO GO ON your 4 mile walk & your linedancing. Keep that up and you'll see the pounds just melt away...

T-girl - I'm going to to the Tae-bo in the morning.

Semo, Lauri, Jen & Billiesrosie - Hope you all are staying focused, drinking that H20 & moving..

hi girls!! Sorry I've been incognito LOL!! The move went smoothly for us, but half the people who came in to the office were pissed that we had moved, but having mad patients is not anything new.
I am stressed, I don't like to be verbally abused, and some days I bite back, but in a subtle way, so ignorant people don't catch it.
:lol: Anyway... the running helps. I am following the couch to 5k plan at kicksports.com and I am on week 3. Thanks for your support. Today is a workout day. Tuesday I went to the gym on my lunch hour. I will do the same today. It seemed to work out, plus it helps work off the stress.
SEMO, I am hip about not having to answer the phones. Our phones ring nonstop from 8-5, literally. When I get home the LAST thing I want to do is talk on the phone.
1 day, I hope you are feeling better sweetie. Sinus infections are horrid.
One of the new girls at work called in yesterday because her daugher has strep throat, then the woman brings her daughter in to the OFFICE to pick up her paycheck. HELLO!!!!!! To an office full of pregnant women?
Gosh, sorry I'm being so nasty. People have been irritating me a lot lately.
Oh, here's some good stuff: my 8th grade son is playing his guitar in the talent show tonight at school. He will be playing Our National Anthem. I am so proud!! I will probably bawl and embarrass him half to death LOL!! (I always get choked up when that plays, even before 9/11.)
talk to you guys later!!
Maybe I will up my Paxil for awhile until we get settled down in our new office. :o
luv ya

Hi girls, internet has been down all morning so I'm just getting here.
Lauri, you tickle me.... I have to tell this joke, (it's funnier when you hear my southern draw) There were these two Southern gals setting on the porch swing drinking tea, one quite wealthy and the other quite poor.
The weathly gal says "after the birth of my first child my husband bought me a new car"
Poor Southern Gal said "How nice"
Wealthy Southern Gal says....."after the birth of my second child my husband bought me a new house"
Poor Southern says "How Nice"
Wealthy Gal....."after the birth of my third child my husband hired me a full time nanny"
Poor Gal "HOW NICE"
Wealth Gal....."What did you husband do for you after the birth of your child?
Then the poor Southern gal says (are you ready) " He sent me to charm school...... that's where they taught me to say HOW NICE instead of f@@k you! :lol:
I use "how nice" quite often......... Hope that's not too "off colored" for you all. (in my sweetest southern accent)

Well girls I'm leaving here shortly going to my son's, they probably won't have the internet hooked up yet so I'll talk to you on Monday. BTW, I'm doing well on the eating...hope I don't blow it while I'm gone, Nashville has sooooo many good places to eat.

Hugs to all you great gals.

Good Afternoon ladies

We'll I had my weight in today... and I gained .2 lbs but i'm not going to let that bother me, cause i know that meds can sometimes effect things, also since i was sick. Anway I'm OP today... drank my water... & get this... Got up at 5:15am to do my Tae-bo & felt really good afterwords... we'll my body didn't but my head does.

Semo - Luv the joke..., Have a great trip... drink lots of water..

Lauri - I cry to when i heard the National Anthem... just thinking the words make cry... I'm sure your son will be proud/embarrased at the same time... more than likely he'll just ignore you(LOL)... running sure helps with stress, so definitely keep that up... besides the paxil...

we'll i need to run...

T-girl, jen, billierosie, & Mooz - hope you all are having a good day..

Hey everyone checking in before I go to bed. Patty, I am glad you took out the tae bo, isnt it just great??to me, it gives instant results!! I love it!! Lauri, I do agree that the national anthem is a song of honor, instruments are great to know how to play too!! Hey well I stayed op, and doing pretty good. weigh in , in another day.. hmm?? Well talk to you all later.. Patty, you are doing well!!

Latisia

GOOD MORNING CHICKS!!

It is a beautiful morning here today. I am OP and I walked 6 miles yesterday and went linedancing for 2 hours.

Patty - good for you and your doggie for getting some walking in!!

Lauri - Hope the running eased your stress!! Well did you cry when your son played the National Anthem?:cry: I would too!!

Semo - Good joke
:lol:
Don't worry most of us have probably heard a lot worse than that!!

T-girl - I still intend to start back on the Tae Bo - hopefully on Monday as my two university kids are home at the weekend and I like the house free when I do it!!

To everyone else have a good OP day

GO AHEAD AND LIVE

Go ahead and live this day that is made for you. Stop waiting for things to get better, stop wishing everything was perfect, and simply live the fullness and richness of what is.
You could think of a hundred good reasons not to venture out, a hundred excuses just to hunker down and hide from the world. And yet all those many excuses and rationalizations are outweighed by the fact that this is a most precious and irreplaceable day of your precious and irreplaceable life.

Think of the very best day you've ever experienced, then imagine it ten times better, and you'll have a glimpse of the very real possibilities for your life on this very day. No circumstance is powerful enough to hold you back when you choose to make the most of the life you've been given.

You have the extremely good fortune to be blessed with this day, a day overflowing with great possibilities. Turn away from those insidious thoughts which seek to limit you, and turn toward the life you truly desire to live.

This day, this moment, is filled with challenge, with possibility, with the opportunity to live it, and what could be better than that?

SEMO! THat was hysterical!!! I am from Indiana and have a bit of a drawl myself ;) One of the docs says he likes the way I make the word "doctor" sound like "a@@hole" LOL (sorry ladies) I told him since I am from the midwest I can do that with "ma'am" and "sir" too ROFL!!!
What about this joke:
Southern woman at a fancy Yankee party: "Where are y'all from?"
Snobby Yankee: "I'm from a place where we don't end our sentences with prepositions."
Southern woman, "oh, I'm sorry. Where are y'all from, b**ch?"

Ok, SEMO and I will behave now!
I feel better today. Yesterday I did my training run and I was really ON! My program for this week is to run for 90 seconds, walk for 90 seconds, twice, then run 3 min and walk 3 min, twice. And I did it!!!!!! Three minutes doesn't seem like much, but it truly is.
When I ran over the line I pretended i was winning the Boston Marathon LOL!!!
I guess I'd better put some clothes on for work. Frankly I'd rather go in my pj's. LOL!
Talk to you all later!
Lauri
PS Thanks for making me laugh and feel better. :) :) :)

Good Morning Ladies -

Hope everyone has a great day...

I have never been more proud of my son!!! He played the National Anthem flawlessly and when he was done, there was not a dry eye in the house!! :-)

YOUR BEST THOUGHTS
The thought comes to you of who you can be, of what you can accomplish, of how you can live. Put that thought where it can grow, where it can become strong, where it can be made real.
What is this day for if not for living true to the highest and best of your possibilities? Now is the moment in which your most treasured dreams have the opportunity to be made real.

Everywhere you go, everything you have and become begins with a thought. So give the very best of those thoughts the room and the energy and the action to grow.

Don't discard your best thoughts, or hide them or bury them. Give them life, give them time, give them passion. Respect and appreciate those thoughts. They're yours for a reason. Take the best of them and use your life to make them happen.

-- Ralph Marston

I'm in a rush too here is how my week went, lost 1.5 pounds, feel pretty good because size 18 is now loose!! yes!! I am going to work even harder now, got tae bo and weight cuz i missed out on tae bo yesterday!! son is teething and all!! well talk to youall later!!\

Good Evening Ladies -

It's been a busy day. I went looking at kennels most of the morning. I'm planning on kenneling my dog in July & I wanted to check some out. I have stayed OP today but I have not drank all my water. It's so much easier during the week when I have that water bottle on my desk. As far as exercise, I have only gotten 1 mile in, that was walking my dog. If i don't do tae-bo toight, then I'll have to work harder tomorrow.

T-girl - WAY TO GO ON YOUR 1.5 LOSS...:strong:

Mooz - 7 miles... Wow, that is alot of miles. Do you do that all at once, or do you break it up?

Lauri - Tomorrow is my grocery shopping day. I'm trying to work off a grocery list, that way I don't put the cookies, or unneeded items in.

Talk to you all tomorrow...

Hey, guys. I was wondering if it was o.k. for me to join your group? I would love to have a way to discuss my successess and failures re: exercising with other people.

Lately I have been in an exercising rut. My goal is to get going tomorrow. It's kinda late tonight to start. (It's midnight.) Anyway, long story, short -- I have usually been thin, but now something just cracked (well, i cracked), and I cannot follow a diet or get my behind to the gym. I used to work out all the time and watch what I ate. I even had a life!!! But over the past year and a half, I just feel like I cannot get enough to eat and that working-out is the last thing on my mind. In one year and 1/2, I have gained 70 lbs!!!! It's horrible! I used to be pretty and thin and (sorta happy). Now I am just fat, lazy, and ugly!

So, anyway, I would love to be able to chat with others who are challenging themselves to work-out.

GOOD MORNING CHICKS!!
It is a beautiful morning and the sun is shining and it is great to be alive!!

Bubble-gum - You are very welcome to join us and we will help you all we can. You have made a good move in joining a thread on this forum!! A graduating law student - Wow you are a clever girl!! Do you graduate this year? Is it very stressful for you? My son is graduating from university this year, hopefully, and I know he has been stressed out this last couple of years.
Have you tried walking? I walk every day and I am addicted to it now. You could start by walking for 10 mins and then turning and walking home again - that will get you started.
Do you drink enough water? We very often think our bodies need food when it is really needing water.

Patty - I don't think I could walk the 7 miles all at once - I did it in three walks through the day - 2,2,&3.

T-girl - CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 1.5 POUND LOSS. You are doing great!!

Semo - hope you are having a good OP and lovely time in Nashville!!

Lauri - What is Sam's Club?

To anyone I have missed - have a good OP day.

Take Care all

WORTHY OF THE BEST

If you continue to practice negative habits, even though you know they're not in your best interest, what kind of a message are you sending to yourself? You're giving yourself the mistaken impression that you're not worthy of controlling your own actions.
But you are worthy of the best life has to offer. And it is up to you to act like it.

The next time you hear that little voice saying "I really don't need to be doing this" look at it as an opportunity. See it as a chance to say no to that negative habit and to say yes to your best possibilities.

You could give in to the temptation and fall into old, negative habits, but what would that really get you? Instead, send yourself a positive, empowering message by truly acting in your best interest and avoiding that negative habit.

You know what's right for you and what's not, so make the choice to do what's right. Not only will it move you forward, it will also confirm, without a doubt, your commitment to your own best possibilities.

-- Ralph Marston

bubble gum: welcome to our group!!! We are all doing different forms of exercises and I think different diet plans.

Mooz, Sam's Club is a warehouse store that you have to buy food in bulk. They everything from food to appliances to computer equipment to movies. It's huge and it's fun to shop at.
I buy my sons' lunch stuff there: chips, juice, twinkies.
They also have good prices on paperback books (which you can buy one at a time)
Did I confuse you? I hope not. I am eating some yogurt and fixing to go outside for a jog. IT appears nice and NOT windy. NOT windy is always a plus in these parts LOL!
Today I need to finish up laundry and a doily I'm crocheting for my friend.
Have a good Sunday!!!
lauri

Hey all.. Bubble gum, welcome!! I have something to say, that i am ashamed of. Tae bo and i will unite after i get off havent done it in 2 or so days, which is not normal for me. I feel lazy and dont know why I am eating op, i love tae bo , it is great!! i just think once i go do it TODAY, imm a get back on track Plus imma hit the weights, havent seen those in a while.. oh my.. sorry to be like this! thanks for all the support!! i will update everyone later!!

Latisia

Good Afternoon Ladies -

Welcome Bubble gum We are happy to have your join our forum. My only advise is not to try and do everything at once "drink the water, exercise, diet" . Do it in small steps, so it's not so overwhelming. Like Mooz said start with a 10 min walk, then increase. The one thing you should definitely start doing is drinking more water.

T-girl - Hey maybe your body just needed a day of rest. That is how I would look at it. But today is monday and it's time to get back in the swing. My goal is to do tae-bo 4 times this week, in the am..

Mooz - Breaking up the walk is great. I might try walking 1 mile at lunch & that would add to my day's walk.

Semo - Hope you had a wonderful time in Nashville..

Lauri - Hope you had a great run yesterday.

We'll for me. I did not exercise yestereday (sunday), I too had a lazy day. There were bad storms all night & my dog kept me up from 2:30am to 5:00am... he was barking in the other room..
But I was OP & i'm still having to work on drinking the water on the weekends. I did get up this morning and did the basic TAE-BO.. Thursday is my weight in day... Hope to see results...

talk to you all later...

Hey all, you may be right about the rest thing Patty, cuz I am back with it!! did my walk, and exteded it another block, it feels so good outside too!! I am op with the eating .I love Kashi, mix it with yogurt, so filling .. my son is doing much better, and now we are gonna take a few pics. Hey Patty, I do believe you have a good exercise plan, and will see some results, no doubt!!! well, to everyone else, hope you are off to a great start this Monday, and talk to you later!

Latisia

GOOD EVENING CHICKS!!
I am a bit later in posting today as I was shopping again and when I came home my son was on the computer.Just a quick call as I am going for a walk at 8.30 with a friend.

T-girl - good to see you are back on track again!!

Patty - you seem to be back to your previous good form and dishing out all the good advice - keep it up as we all need it!!

Lauri - Sams Club sounds absolutely brilliant. Hope you got a good jog without getting blown away!!

To everyone else have a good OP day.

DON'T QUIT!
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer, with its twists and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he/she might have won had he/she stuck it out
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Hey everyone, I am doing pretty good. Did not falter,, I have tae bo tommorrow, my highlight, think i will do it early tomorrow!! How is everyone?? i had found some website that has mostly fat free goodies, gonna go back and find it again,, i lost the address!! it looked great. Well talk to you all later!

Latisia

GOOD MORNING CHICKS!!

It's a beautiful morning here today and I am in control of my food. I walked nearly 3 miles last night and 2 this morning. I still have not made up my mind whether to go to WW tonight or not!!

T-girl - let us know what that website is if you find it again. I still have not started back into the Tae Bo but I will soon!! It's getting the time!!

Hope everyone is having a good OP day and DRINK YOUR WATER!!!

STARTING POINT

Regardless of how far behind you may be, you always can choose to move forward. Though people and events and circumstances may conspire against you, you can decide to move ahead anyway.
Success depends on your direction, not on your position. No matter where you may be, it is always within your reach, and you can always begin to work for your own special success.

It's perfectly okay to be where you are. Because from where you are, you can move steadily to wherever you desire to be. Sure, it's probably not the ideal situation, and yet it is a starting point. It's the starting point you have, and one from which you most certainly can move forward.

It will happen because you decide to make it happen. It will happen because you'll do what's necessary to make it happen. This day, this place, this situation is your starting point. Now is your moment to reach as high as you care to reach. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it. Decide for yourself and start moving yourself positively there.

hi chicks!!! Mooz, the cartoon was great!!! I printed it to hang up at work.
Where do you find your motivational sayings? Is there one web site? or several?
I don't normally train on Mondays, but what a day I had at work!
I did about 1 1/2 miles after supper around the neighborhood. And let me tell you, I enjoyed that. Way better than running in circles for 20 minutes!!! :D
Also, I love iced tea, so on Saturday I bought de-caf tea bags and made some. Very good!!!! I filled a couple of my water bottles and took them to work. Breaks the monotony of the water, plus the only caffeine I had yesterday was in my morning 3 cups of coffee.
Well, gotta scram!! Have a good day everyone!!!

good after noon, Ok here is the websit, i think it is great:) www.fatfree.com( i should have remembered that!!LOL) I am just laughing at myself, it is an actual store in Manhattan NY, makes me wanna go there and check it out!!LOL

Wel I am op, doing great did tae bo early and i am planning to keep it early!! it really helped..

Lauri, go girl!! That is fantastic!! Quite a workout..

Good Evening Ladies

Today was a hard day, went to a work trade show & they had all kinds of goodies at the vendor's tables (candy)...I did real good then towards the end of the day when I was tired I ended up eating about 4 pieces (small ones)...I overslept this morning, so I didn't do my tae-bo, & I just got home so I only walked the dog 1 mile. Tomorrow will be a better day.

Mooz - Don't you just love it when your in control of your food. It just makes me feel soo good. I know that is a hard decision on whether or not to go back to Ww. I need the accountability, but either way let us know what you decide to do.

Lauri - Way to go on getting your 1.5 miles in. I just love tea in the summer. I have to limit myself to 2 glasses due to the caffine. What brand of decaf are you using? Lipton?

T-girl - Glad to hear your back in control. I just love the Kashi Go lean. Are you mixing it plain yogurt? or vanilla? I don't like the plain, but mixed with Kashi, that might help.

oh, Mooz - thanks for the motivational words & the pictures.

We'll i'm calling it a night... talk to you all tomorrow..

GOOD MORNING CHICKS!!
I have decided to weigh my self every Wednesday at home in the morning as that is when I am at my lightest. I will still follow the WW points system and I get all the motivation from this thread and the '40 something moving and losing' thread.
I have not walked today yet as I was away for a sort of interview. We have 'home helps' here who go to say elderly people's houses to make them their breakfast or lunch or do some light housework or shopping. They are short staffed at the moment so I said I would be interested and I had to talk a lady about the job. I will just be covering sick leave and holidays at the minute and then later I could go for a proper interview for a permanent part-time job. It is so nerve racking just thinking about it!!

Patty - it is hard when you are tired and hungry and all those goodies are calling out to you. I think you did well in not overeating on them and you are back on track again so you are fine. We can't be perfect all the time!!

T-girl - you are back to your old self again - OP and Tae boing and that is great.

Semo - hope the wedding is all going according to plan - call in when you can.

Lauri - keep on running!!!YGG

To everyone have a good day

Take care

PATH TO ACHIEVEMENT

Your level of success and achievement depends on the level of challenge with which you're willing to live. Those who take on the biggest challenges are the ones who attain the biggest achievements.
If the challenges you face seem to be getting more imposing, that probably means you're making real progress. The challenges have grown stronger precisely because your ability to handle them has grown stronger.

The challenges are not there to push you down. In reality, they provide you with a clear and effective way to push forward. A long and rocky road can be challenging, and yet if the road was not there, you would have nothing on which to move forward. In the same way, the challenges you face will lead you to the achievement you desire.

Welcome the challenges, for they are truly what make the achievements possible.

good morning!
Mooz, thanks for the info!! I love the sayings with the pics. I put one on my desktop and printed some out for my desk at work.

Patty, way to go on not pigging out totally. I know sometimes it's hard. When we were moving our office they must have spent a fortune on food for us... pizza, doughnuts, cinnamon rolls, chinese food (which made me ill, that'll learn me LOL)
I buy the Lipton decaf. I make sun tea with it. And I love it because I don't need to limit myself.

tgirl, thanks for the veg info. We try to eat vegetarian once a week. What's Kashi? I like to buy low or non fat vanilla yogurt and put blueberries or strawberries in it. Like the McDonalds parfait, but cheaper. The McD parfait (without the cereal) is only 5 WW points. If you add the granola in its still only 7.

It's supposed to be chilly today and windy. Curses!!!! I'll have to go to the gym instead of running outside. booooooring!!
You all have a good day.

I hope SEMO is doing well and the wedding is going smoothly. Of course any little mess up is fodder for anecdotes for years to come LOL!!! :-)
My maid of honor stepped back from us so we could light our candle and sat right in my own dads lap LOL!! (this was in 1980 and it STILL cracks me up!)
later!!!!

Hi girls, I can't believe it's Wednesday already..... I've been so busy that I've hardly had time to potty. LOL We worked like crazy all weekend at the new house (let me tell you that I am aware of muscles that I didn't know I had) Came home Sunday night and had drop in company, and Monday and Tuesday nite had to go to town after working late both nites (the guys worked all weekend including Sunday so I was swamped when I got back). Leaving to go back to Nashville tomorrow after work, future DIL's graduation. So that about wraps up my week. After the weekend I should be back to posting. I'll get caught up reading the post and hopefully things will get back to my normal boring life by the first of June. Love you guys and have a great one.

Good Afternoon Ladies

This morning I got up and did the Live Tae-bo basic tape.. My legs are hurting today & I also did my stomach crunches. My weigh in is tomorrow. I just hope I show a loss.

Mooz - We are all here to help support & motivate you with your goals. With your daily walking & line dancing you can succeed. And your right about weighting in the the morning my weigh in is at noon & I have to be careful not to eat anything with sodium & I stop drinking my water by 10:00am..

Semo - Good to hear from you. Sounds like you have got a very busy month. How are you doing on your food? & drinking water?

Lauri - OMG.. I would of died laughing, sitting on your dad's lap... That is something she'll never forget either.. Hopefully you'll get some better weather. When is your run again?

T-girl - Hope your tae-boing today... I tried the "live Basic" .. it was different, they did not have the side kicks (killer)... I"m going to try and alternate so I don't get bored.

Kashi is a ceral with lots of grains a 3/4 cup has like 8 grams of protein... I believe it's soy. You can find at most health food stores & even our Walmart carries it. There are different kinds... Kashi go lean, kashi healthy, kashi crunch. They have a web site too.

we'll I better run...

Hello everybody,, how is your day going!! I am glad you liked the site Anne, I encourage everyone to check it out!! I decided to do tae bo again today, missed my walk but tae bo is a good alternative. I am glad to be back in the swing of things, Hope everyone is doing well! Stay focused!!

Latisia

Good Afternoon Ladies

I'm happy to say I have lost 2.2 lbs. You know what, journaling & exercise really do pay off. This morning I was so tired, I really did not want to get up and exercise but I did & tomorrow morning I have a date with Billy Blanks again.

Mooz - Way to go saving your points for your cake. If you plan ahead & bank your points, it's ok to have splurges like this. I'm going to bank some points for this sunday's dinner. Where did you find the girl running? That is so cute. I'm trying to send some motivation tips or 1 liners to some friends here at work.

T-girl - Keep up the tae-bo.

Lauri & Semo - hope your drinking your H2O & moving...

We'll I need to run... talk to you all later...

Ladies!!! TGIF!!!
Patty, congrats on the loss!!! I must confess I have not weighed myself in awhile, because the scale wasn't really moving to my liking but I did buy a couple of new dresses recently and I am back in to a size 8. :D :D :D :D (all that running)
For Receptionists Day, my docs gave me a $25 dollar gift certificate for the mall, so yesterday I bought a new dress at Sears to wear to a banquet I had to go to last night. (don't worry it was NCO club food, nothing worth writing home about. I had a bite of some beefy stuff that looked like cardboard and some carrots and iced tea.)
Patty, I have found that even if I don't feel like working out, once I start, I am so glad I did.
I will talk to you all later, I got a late start this morning!
love
lauri

Good Morning Ladies

I did not get my morning exercise in. Last night we had terrible storms & I was up again with my dog...(he get in a panic state... constant barking & pacing)...I had got some meds from the vet to give him & they calmed him down a bit, but did not put him to sleep... So i'm calling the vet again today & seeing if I need something stronger. This is the 3rd day in a row with storms...
ANYWAY... I will pick up the pace tonight.

Mooz - WAY to go on walking 5 miles. You have been increasing your miles... YOU GO GIRL..and your linedancing 2 hours... that is wonderful....

Lauri - Your right about the exericse. I don't know if i'll ever love exercising, but I do feel great once I begin & afterwards I feel really good about myself. WAY TO GO on getting into a size 8.... I can't wait til I get get in a size 12 comfortable...

T-girl - I looked at my journal & did tae-bo 5 times during the last 7 days... So my goal for next Thursday is to do it 5 times again....
We can do it..

Semo - Hope you enjoy your trip to Nashville...

We'll I need to run... I have work to do & calls to make (vet)..
