Hello ladies It is a new month, a fresh clean slate that we have laying before us. Each of us knows what we need to do and what challenges we have to conquer. We can pray and lift each other up and watch the weight go bye bye! But more than the weight we can get stronger and healthier. By the time the holidays roll around we will have our new routines in place so we can kick some holiday eating booty.

I started the 21 day walk challenge from the Leslie Sansone sight. I'm not a paid member but they tell you have many miles and stuff for those of us that aren't. Today was a three mile walk. I did the walk away abs. Breakfast was spaghetti squash with tomato, onion and a fried egg on top. Delicious.

My honey is on vacation this week. We are having a staycation so I should be able to post.

Solly...Just work the wine into your program. You should be able to enjoy the things you love.

Ellen...WTG getting to WA this morning.

Toni..did you make the soup? I smell something good from here. Hope you are having a great week so far.

Mercee..How close are you to goal?

Hubby just came in and I'm sure he is starvin' like Marvin. He and the boy just came in from squirrel hunting. Good thing we don't rely on that for food or we would starve. They are three for O this year..LOL

Love and hugs,
Crystle

Well darn I didn't get my treadmill uncovered because we went grocery shopping instead and I was to tired afterwards. So that's my job today. I'm going to put a pot of beans on soon for dinner. Picked up a slice of lean ham yesterday for it.

Ellen- Enjoy water aerobics today. Sounds like your week end was jam packed. We're to far in the country to have any trick or treaters so it saves me getting candy. The pictures of your Grand kids all dressed was so cute.

Crystle- Wow your work out sounds intense. Got the stuff for my soup but haven't made it yet. Hope I have enough whole grain noodles the Wal Mart I went to didn't have any. Yes you're right its a new month. Hope we have success in it.

Solly- We've always talked about those week ends. I enjoy having wine then too. And the eating is hard. My body thinks its a free for all. Always have had trouble with the week ends....

Mercee- Hope you had a good week end.

Guess I'd better go make breakfast.

Crystle you inspired me with your talk. Thank you.

A miracle I walked on the treadmill today. Not very long but will have to work up to that slowly. But I was pleased I started.

Ellen- That was scary about your ATM card. Glad you found it.

TONI: YAY you! It did not have to be long...just make it consistent!

Good morning ladies, I got out and voted early this morning. It was like the lesser of 2 evils. But I did it. We have a busy night, my DH's phone went out so we have to go get him another one plus go to the funeral home. He may have to wait another night on the phone, it takes too long to do both.

I have steaks laid out but don't know if we will have time for them.

Crystle, what a lovely talk. I hope it does me some good as well as others. I laughed about the boys squirrel hunting and not getting any. Glad you are not starving. I keep thinking of joining the Jillian Michaels website too. The free one doesn't give me food to eatl.

Toni, YOU DID IT! I am so proud of you. Keep it up even if only for a few minutes. Do 2 minutes more each day.

Ellen, that is scary about your ATM card. It give you a feeling in the pit of your stomach doesn't it. I hate that. Glad you found it though. You will be leading WA before you know it. You will get your goal. Keep it up. Good job.

Off to do something. I finished all the immediate work I had so now into the fun stuff.

Have a great day!

Good morning Ladies:

I had a busy weekend as usual. I had family in from out of town. Yesterday I had extensive dental work done and went to sleep afterwards. I did not workout. Hwever I workd out Sunday evening (my gym is opne 7a-7p on weekends) because I knew I wouldn't be able to on Monday after dental surgery. I am back at work today and feel fine and plan to workout tonight.

Toni- Great job getting that workout in!!! You will build your time up.

Ellen- I'm glad you found your atm card.

Solly-I plan on voting after work today. Tonight is biggest loser. I am not interested this year I don't know why I use to love biggest loser. I just watch the elimination and erase it now.

Cystle- Thanks for the pep talk we all need them from time to time.

Well I am off to work. Have agreat day everyone.

Morning ladies:

Ellen- Congrats on your loss!! Keep up the good work. What decision did you make concerning your swimsuit? May be you could invest in a cheaper one for the class.

I am happy to report I am down 2 pounds today. Last night I went through my closet and 5 pairs of pants are way too big. Now I will treat myself to a reasonably priced pair of brown and black slacks to carry me through the winter.

Well I'm out of here. Have a fantastic day and congrats to all the losers!!!

Ellen- Great job getting back to your lowest point in a few years.

Hello everyone. Sorry I've not been on here but I've caught some kind of bug and going to the doctor's today. But good news is I've lost 2 lbs.

Ellen- Wow you're doing so great. Congrads on the two lbs. Keep up the good work.

Mercee- Great you're losing weight so good. What a good feeling to get some smaller pants. Yea for your two lbs.
