Way to go Karyn!
I don't think i could handle Tae bo LOL

Great job Karyn!!!

Ionly have march and part of april to accomplish my goal, but I am going to try my hardest. I am finally up off my butt and moving (housework wise) Hope fullly DH and I will beable to make a decsion regarding The gym today or tomorrow. I do have a YMCA close, but I need something that has child care, and I was not happy with what they had at the Y. FOr the cost with the kiddies I was very impressed with the child care at this gym...we will just have to wait for now. I will get a little exercise in later though. I am thinking some sit ups, and maybe some hula hoop.

Later chicas!

WEll I did go out to eat with my parents today but that was really my only real meal all day so i guess the calories worked out. Anyway I walked the dog tonight so I must have burned some of them off right. Baby Steps!!! Tomrrow I will try to get another exercise video in and extra longer walk with my dog while Nicky is at school (can't walk at night hubby comes home too late). and I have been doing major housewoirk around here.. trying to throw some of this clutter out... everyday my son goes to school i try to get some organizing done. My dishwasher is not working so I am the dishwasher..ugg.. talk to you ladies tomorrow!

Hi Ladies ~
I know I've been "missing" for a few days due to my work schedule, but I'm back and back on track!! The kids are on winter break so with the schools closed it's hard for me to get to the gym. I've found if I don't go in the AM, I just don't go. I'm too tired and have too many excuses by the evening.

It's awesome so see you guys doing so well right now. Karyn, you really seem on track, I'm sooooo proud!!

I had my first exam Monday in the class I'm currently taking and felt it went really well so we'll see.

Talk to you later.
~ Sandra

Sandra~I was wondering where you went. So good to see you!!! Are you done working nights, or did they put you on for more this month??Talk later.

hey ladies, just checking in. I didn't do my taebo today cause i woke up and my lungs hurt (must has a nasal drip) so i didn't think they could handle the bouncing around and my back hurt on the sides, so i guess thats all the punching.haha so i took the dog for an extra long walk while NIcky was at school to make sure i got it in. hubby bowls on thursdays so the dog doesn't get his nighttime walk. I also have been really busy cleaning up my computer room and throwing junk out. Anyway tomorrow i go see the school about Nicky getting into ADHD (disability program next year) and then i go see my lawyer in the afternoon. keep me in your prayes..

Good morning ladies!!! I am so Excited!!!I finnally have shown some movement in the scale!!! I weighed in this morning and I am down to 231!!! I will not record it as official until tomorrow(official WI day) But i am extremely happy about it. I will make sure that I am very good with my plan. I was getting so discouraged with no movement for the last two months. Ladies I have to run, the girls and I aer still in our PJ's and we need to get moving.

Later chicas

Hey ladies, got to admit that I did not do my tae bo today but I am promising all of you that I will do it 2-3 times a week. Saturday, Monday & Wednesday to start out. I don't want to kill all my muscles right away. But will walk the dog everyday! Gotta run ladies, be back tomorrow!

Good Morning!
I'm planning on having a good day today with all good choices!!! We'll see how far that gets me. hee hee

Ellen ~ Ya, they scheduled me for a couple more evening shifts on the next schedule too but not too many so I can handle it I guess. ugh.

I haven't exercised much this week with my daughter home from school all week but I plan on getting right back into it next week when she goes back. Until then, it's portion control and chug that water!!

Karyn ~The dog must be LOVING all these walks and it is soooo good for you, too!!

TTFN!!
~ Sandra

Hi Ladies!
I know I've been gone a long time. Things have been real busy. I want top thank everyone who has been praying for Heather, the prayers are working. I see Sandi has kept everyone up to date. Heather is doing real well with her chemo. Now she goes evry three weeks instead of weekly. Now I only have to work 10 hour days only every third week, they really kill me.

I haven't weighed myself yet this week. I know I'm about the same. I will check in tomorrow with my weight. Talk to you later.

Hi guys~
I have to share this. I had an absolute awful weekend at work. VERY stressful. (Most of you know I'm an RN and work on a locked psychiatric unit at a hospital). Anyway, both days were horrendous (SP??) BUT I found myself driving home last night thinking I wanted to go to the gym to work out my frustrations instead of going home to collapse on the couch or cry or open the bar (hee hee). Hmmmm.....maybe this workout thing could be for me afterall??

Now, I must admit I didn't go to the gym because DH & DD had dinner ready when I got home so I ate instead (healthy though) and cuddled with my family.

I was so impressed though that the thought of working out even entered my head AND sounded like a good idea. Seems like I'm headed in the right direction.

Good for you Sandra, you got your head on straight even with a stressful day. I am sure you willmake your goal very soon.

As for me I didn't exercise this weekend. I had my cycle and cramps . I had a party on Saturday but I have to say I ate the food (not till i was full) had my piece of cake and a brownie (small) but I did drink alot of sangria.. (sp) it was so good but I really didn't eat that much taht day so hopefully lots of water today will help with that. And yes I did tae bo today. I decided to do it 3 times a week. I did walk the dog last night but it was very cold so we walked a little bit faster..haha..

Anyway today I had my Vanilla special k for breakfast and my coffee. So I am on the right track. We are goihng to the supermarket otday for fruit, veggies and food for the week. I am going to stop buying suger stuff for my son, and try to get him to start eating healther. He doesn't need to looseweight or anything (actually his waiste of his pants never match the length but thank god for those buttons to pull the wait in tighter) anyway I have to take off what I put on cause my clothes felt better when i was down the 19 and i need to get there again.

Good for you Sandra for wanting to go to the gym. I know it can be difficult to decide wether to go work out or go home and see your family. I loved goign to exercise, but I always felt like I was taking time from them. I did consider it my "ME time" but I always felt bad if I was there for more than an hour.

I did not strat well today. I stayed up too late on Sunday and then I had to peel my self out of bed to get DS ready for school. I will do my hula hoop today and will try to get a tape in tomorrow. Well, I am off DH has to go to baed soon, and I need to spend some time with him

Later chicas!!

Mmmmm, I LOVE Sangria, especially with lots and lots of fruit in it. My favorite is to eat all the oranges after they've been soaking in the sangria all night. Mmm, mmm, mmm!!
~ Sandra

Oh I love Sangria too! A friend and I drank the whole thing she made at her party!, Boy it is a good thing I live so close to her, I don't think I would have made it home I was so sleepy. I have to run will check in later.
