HS-- Thanks for that list! I printed it out and am going to hang it on the wall right beside my treadmill!

Hello,

Yes, I fell off the face of the earth. Well I did buy my scale, and um... it's not good news. 195lbs *shivers at the thought* However, I technically look good for a 5'5" 195lb girl. *shrug

50 reasons to exercise, that's a lot of reasons. I should print that list out! It's already making me want to get out there and run. woo hoo!

Leanne, congrats on the baby! BTW a September 20th baby isn't a Libra. 9/20 is definitely a Virgo baby.

I WILL exercise today. Well, I better, or something like that. I need to read those 50 reasons again...

~Shayla

While on my treadmill a few minutes ago, reading over that list of reasons to exercise yet again, I decided to add a few reasons of my own. How about "Look Good In Anything I Want To Wear (Including A String Bikini)," or "Walk Up A Flight Of Stairs Without Getting Winded"?
Anyone want to add any others? I'd love to hear some more additions...

Hi Ladies

yeah, so far I have been maintaining this weight, which is GREAT considering I havent been able to work out very much, although running around after a 3 year old is quite a workout...
I think I am hoping for another boy...YET, I would cry endlessly for joy if I was having a girl.but practically I think 3 boys would be great. (at least I have all the clothes already)...Yes, just like LAST SUMMER, here I go being all pregnant again...it wasnt fun last year, I bet it wont be as fun this year, but I will make the best of it...
Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend...

Leanne

Hi guys. Leanne, 3 boys huh? You've got stamina, guts, or SOMETHING I just don't have Congratulations though. Hopefully the summer won't be too rough on you! There is one nice thing about being pregnant - you don't have to worry about getting pregnant again

I'm watching a commmercial right now where they ask "how are you cutting carbs?" One of the girls says "I licked the butter off a piece of toast." OH MY - I must not be tired enough of my food I haven't hit that point yet

I worked clinic today and actally got a note that said "I have been here 4 times and this student has helped me the most." YIPPEE!!! Every now and then you need to hear you don't suck at what you're studying! It was a great day! The teacher I've been having trouble with has taken her name off clinic in general. Of course, now she's coming in for massages from students. So far I haven't had to work on her.

Diet is going well. I'm fighting a cold but holding my own. Everyone here has this viral infection that is just awful! Even the docs I work with are coming down with it now. So far I'm fighting it well. I want to hit the gym this coming week. Need to be healthy to do that

Okay I'd better get back to the weekend. It's time for a nap - we're going hiking this afternoon. Hope you guys are having a great weekend!!

Miss Elisha! I love those extra additions to the list! And as for being 5'5 and 190...that's much better than my sister at 4'7 and 175. She cannot go up and downstairs without having to stop for breath half way up. And I mean stop for a good 2 or 3 minits! My other friend is 4-10 and 200lbs. Neither one of them will do anything about their weight, except sit around and whine about it. They seem to think the weight will come off by itself just by wishing it away...or whining it away. You are an inspiration to everyone! Keep up the great work!

Good Idea on the boy thing LeAnne! Save money on the clothes!lol Have you got names picked out yet? I find people are going back to old fashioned and biblical names. My neighbors have 5 boys...all named alphabetically for the bible: Adam, Baltazar, Caleb, David, and Eziekiel...go figger. They're trying for a girl now!lol

Grassie! Congrats on getting the Kudos Note! I love it when something like that happens...it makes you feel so good to know that you are doing a wonderful job! ANd I guess that teacher got what was coming to her, huh? Now she's just coming in to see if she can give you guys a hard time. What a nasty...witch?lol Hope you are feeling better soon, everyone up here is getting sick too..SO i am trying to avoid sick people lilke the plague,,,,pun intended!lol

ANother day of good eating so far, folks! Going for chinese tonite...See everyone Tomorrow or Monday!

quick note!!!

I'll be starting Thread #6 on monday!!!!!!

Hey Everyone..

HS- some names picked out...I am "pretending" my hubby has a choice and I am letting him come up with some....so far he really likes Tyler....I do not. I really like Cole. when I had my 1st son, cameron I really wanted to name him austin and when I had my 2nd son Ryan I really wanted to name him Blake...BUT, I like their names, so this baby name will be a battle too....
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend...it is sunny, but COLD here...

Leanne

Just popping in to say hello and that the sun has come out!! I've just finished doing kitty box and now am onto sorting laundry. It's cold but as long as the sun comes out, I'm Happy! See everyone on the New Thread tomorrow!~!~
