I just cannot get over at how adorable Domino is! :) I've been wanting to get a cat - but Ricardo doesn't approve. We already have two miniature dachshunds, and in Feb or March we are getting an American Bulldog. Yay...lol.

When I get some time today, I'll take a picture of "my boys" Jack and Chip. :)

Hi KARI ~ :lol: Thought you would get a kick out of my post on the "Giving Thanks" thread... link below:

Marti...alot of Curves offer a free week to try it out to see if you like it. You might ask if the one near you offers it also.

Ladies,
I want to thank you for all your input!! It is greatly appreciated. I will stopping by there next week to talk to them. I'm cramming my brain right now studying for exams!

I will definately keep you posted on what I decide. And Rosiee---I will bring up the free week!

It's so nice getting information from this site!
Thanks again!!

Marti

Marti - Glad we could be of some help for you :) Rosiee is right - sometimes they will offer a free week :)

SunnyD57 - That was cute! The 12 days of Thanksgiving..lol. This year we are having Thanksgiving at my mother's house, so I am printing that out, and bringing it with me! lol

Hello - sorry I haven't been able to post. I have been SO SICK. On Friday I woke up with what I *thought* to be a sore throat. By Friday evening, I had a stuffy nose, and was sneezing.

On Saturday, I had to wake up EARLY and spent the entire day with my cousin Becky from traverse city. (8 a.m. until 11:30 p.m.) last night. Needless to say I was sick all day Saturday too. I had a horrible headache, I was hot, cold, hot, cold. My nose was running like a broken faucet, and I my sinuses had become infected. All that pressure, I thought my head could have come off!

So last night, I brought my miserable, sick self to bed, late of course, and woke up this morning at 7:00 a.m. still sick. Then I managed to make some bisquits, gravy, and eggs for everyone who was here (Ricardo's family comes over on Sundays).

After breakfast, I choked down two tablespoons of some kind of nite time cold/cough suppressant, and sat there, waiting for it to kick in. By 10:00 this morning, I was dizzy, and SUPER tired from the medicine I took, so I fell into bed, and I was OUT. :faint:

I just woke up about 20 minutes ago, I don't feel REALLY bad, but I don't feel really good either. :( I hope this ends soon. I think it's a cold/sinus infection. Blahhh....

Oh well - thanks for listening to me complain - you are all wonderful!

More when I feel better,

P.S. - I promise to get pics of the baby soon. I've only seen her twice so far. The new mom & dad haven't been getting much sleep as the baby's sleep schedule is pretty messy right now, so when they get free time, they have been sleeping. ;)

Kari - sorry to hear that you are sick!!!

Can anyone say "Oink"? I have been such a pig this past week...everything was going fine until Wed when I went to Curves and found out that they lost my measurements. It took all I had to go on Thursday morning. Today is Sunday and I haven't worked out since...just EATEN all day long!!

I am planning on getting on my elliptical tonight. I meant to start doing 3-5 30 minute sessions a week along with my Curves workouts and I have been so bummed about these darn measurements that I have been screwing up royally! I feel like I have gained at least 10 pounds in the past 5 days!!

Anyways - I need to get motivated again!! I don't want to quit, and I don't want to regain what I have lost! Is anyone up for a challenge? I am thinking that a short term challenge would be the best...that way we can regroup in a few weeks and start another one!!

I think that a two week challenge would be great to start with. I am not going to measure it in pounds or inches, but in exercise and how I feel I am eating. If anyone is interested, please post your goals here!

My goals for the challenge of Sunday November 16th to Sunday November 30th:

1) Curves 4 days a week
2) 30 minute cardio sessions 4 times a week
3) 3 meals a day that are healthy!

I hope that there will be others of you willing to do the challenge with me...please write your goals so we can all be held accountable. I really think that with the holidays coming up we need a little extra challenge to keep us all on track!!

Ok - Just got done with a 30 minute workout on the elliptical. I went 2.1 miles and burned over 400 calories. Feeling good...nice to get the blood pumping again...

1 of 4 done for the week!!

Oh yeah, going to work on getting my water in too. Been awful at that lately and I actually LIKE water!!

Talk with you all tomorrow!!

Hey everyone :)

April, I'll take up that challenge!

1- Curves 3 times this week.
2- Stay OP on my diet (still doing the Curves one and loving it)
3- Drink my water! (I never drink enough when the weather finally cools down)

I have a super busy week ahead of me, so the goals might not sound really challenging, but just getting to Curves 3 times will be rough.

Kari, I'm so sorry you are under the weather. Really happy with how the car deal has worked out, though. Grats to you!

Sunny, I haven't had a chance to read the link yet. Must be good from the responses.

Marti, glad you are giving Curves a look. Let us know what you think after your visit. I love the scaled back gym setting, and I've NEVER had results like this from any other workout besides water aerobics.

Ok, there is still laundry to finish and it is already 9:30 at night! Where has this weekend gone!

Andria

P.S. Sunny, just read the list, and it is really funny! :lol:

STOP!
