Susan... I too, am glad to hear that your son is recovering at home with you. What a fright that must have been for you!

Mrs. Jim... starting to drink more water (and less coffee) and am actually enjoying it. I think my body knows that it's good for it.

ledom... sounds like I'm in good company I'm actually amazed that I'm at the end of my third week! Though my weight isn't dropping as fast as I thought my clothes are fitting much looser.

Have a great weekend and a Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians. Got a love those free days

Susan- OMG! How terrifying! My thoughts are with you and your son for a speedy full recovery. Thanks for letting us know- I thought maybe you were just swamped with schoolwork or off celebrating the job offer.

mel, thanks for your thoughtful offer of weight equipment - I'd love to take advantage of that but I am in Arkansas. I did pick up those 20 lb. wts. last night and am thinking about where I am going to try them in my UB workout tomorrow.

Jan, yeah I'm right behind you - it is kind of amazing finding myself at the beginning of week 3 and still fired up about things. I'll be interested to hear your progress as you forge the path on this first challenge.

Susan, I am so sorry about your son. I wish him a speedy recovery, and you a return to routine ASAP. In a few days when things settle down I'd love to hear about your home gym as I understand you work out at home.

Mrs. Jim, you are just so encouraging and I do appreciate it so much! Yep, I'm proud of myself for taking this up. I even have a pin-up pic for my workout room now. I printed the pic on the Madonna link that was on L&S last week. Now that girl has some arms to admire.

Just finished my shopping and am planning to start cooking. I think I have some good plans for food next week. I made the pamcakes with left over yam this a.m. and they were so good!

Hey guys

I am alive - barely. I had a rough weekend and am finding everything very dificult at the moment.

Susan: I am so sorry to hear about that - how horrible for you. Glad that things are getting better though.

I am in the process of doing some life re-assessment at the moment so sorry that I haven't been around much. I hope that everyone is doing ok with their challenges etc. Still trying to eat clean and get to the gym - at least I can control that.

Take care
JC
