It was so good. I was drinking it all day and had a decent buzz going on until my son fell out of the window and hit his head. Let me explain. The kids stand on the heating unit to look out the window and when he went to step up on it the window was half open and he bumped his head and fell onto the floor (not out of the window) screens were down anyway. and after that i lost my buzz and it never came back!

Karyn ~
Good thing you explained that, I almost fell off my chair when I first started reading it.

OK, NO excuses....everybody up, off your butts and get some form of exercise in the NEXT 24 hours and report back here!!!

Move it, move it, move it!!

Sandra~Ok I exercised. DH and I took the kidies to an indoor battiing cage and we all took turns. I did not do too bad, but Wish I could have had a little more time. I also have hula hooped for 40 mins so far today and I am going to aim for another 30. (While the kiddies watchth e simpsons)

Eating was not horrible, but I did break under pressure and I had a Punchky (filled dounut) We got them from the new bakery around the corner and they were the best I have ever had, good thing Punchky day is only once a year. Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and I am going to do my best to do the full lenten fast. 2 small meals and one regular meal. I am also goignto try my tape tomorrow. I am aiming to get only half of it done, so If I am able to do the whole thing I will have exceeded my goal. Have to go spend some time with DH b4 he has to get in bed (he works 1am to 1pm) you ladies get out there and MOVE.

WooHoo, you go Ellen!! OK, let's hear from the rest of you. I'll be heading to the gym in the morning so I'll report after I get home.

~ Sandra

OK, I just did 40 minutes at the gym. It felt really good today, too. I actually got that "workout" high today which is pretty new for me. hee hee

Now to have a good eating day. I won't be checking in much cuz I have to work evenings tonight but I'll check in with you ladies tomorrow. I hope to see more of you reporting some exercising.

Enjoy your day!

Three cheers for me! My house in Clean. I vaccummed, Dishes, and laundry. Also straightened all the bedrooms. WIll do the Bathroom later this week. I can't believe it! I must finally be out of my funk! I feel so good and can't wait to go for my walk. The house work took a little more time than I thought and DS will be back soon. I will just wait until he gets back. Have a great day ladies!!

Well I didn't exercise today but I did walk the dog 2 extra blocks. I had my sons dr appointment today. I am taking him to a physologist to figure out his behavior problems. So far its 2 hours since he went to bed and he still keeps coming out. I am about to crack. I can't take nightime bedtime anymore. why can't I have a normal kid that just stays in his room and goes to sleep.

Today in kmart I bought a new taebo dvd and a dance dvd (the dance is 15 minutes long) I don't dance too good but maybe this will help me. So now inbetween my taebo workout maybe I can do that just to keep the flow and on days i don't have much time!

Today was lent and I ate mini meatball soup for dinner...ugg.. I am not being liked from the man upstairs, am I Well let me go let the dog out for and get to bed cause I heard nickys door open again. i swear I am going to tie him toi the bed or lock him in his room!

I did not get mya walk in yesterday...I had to take our van in to fix a flat tire. Sometime over the weekend we must have rolled over a nail. I did try new recipies for dinner , but only the soup turned out ok. I did hula hoop for about a total of 40 mins, so hope fully that will not be a total loss.

Have a great day ladies!!!

Good Morning ladies ~
Karyn & Ellen ~ I think walking the dog and hula hooping DOES count for exercise so give yourselves some credit.

I didn't go to the gym this morning as I worked an evening shift last night which means I get to bed about 1:30am and up at 7:00am to get DD off to school so I'm just too pooped. BUT she has piano lesson tonight so I'm going to drop her off, go to the gym and go back to pick her up. That's the plan anyway, we'll see how it goes.

Karyn ~ Was this your first appt. with the psychologist for your son? What did they say? I'm very curious if you don't mind sharing. Hang in there girl, you'll get through this. I HATED bedtime routine when Emily was 3, I would actually get anxiety over it about 1/2 hour before bedtime and developed acid reflux it was so annoying. But she got over it (eventually). Be strong.

I'll check in later....

Well Its friday and I hate to say I gained I have been picking at the candy in the house and chips. I think out of stress of Nicky. I haven't been exercising like I should. I was never good at that. I have been taking my son to mcdonalds to run but having lunch there too. I know these these are wrong and are gong to make the scale go in the wrong way. I need to try to reseist the

Anyway today is a new day. Nicky actually did what I asked him to do yesterday after dinner, cleaning off the table. He picked up his trains while I picked up the dog toys. He didn't give me too much trouble going to bed. I started a new routine. Brush teeth, story and i put on a story cd on his player. He did get out of bed and peeked out the door 2 time and only came out 1 time to go to the bathroom and was asleep by 10pm (he went in at 8:15). Anyway he hasn't had his physcolgist appointment yet. I need to call and make an appointment. But it will help me and nicky learn how to deal with his bad behavior. He is not a bad kid, he just gets into trouble when he is bored and i guess no tv for 4 days was alot for him. but today he gets it back.

I am feeling better today and my morning coffee even tastes better. I feel like I was in a black cloud and could not see the sun! But todya I am hoping the sun will be out for us (me and nicky). We have a playdate at mcdonalds so keep your fingers crossed for me.

Try to eat before you go to Mc donalds. If you still feel the urge to order something get an iced tea with lemon, even if you have to putsugar in it it is better than anything else you can get. I will be thinking of you today. I know you can do it!!!

Dh and I bought the kiddies a new game and they have been begging me to play it all morniong. I have to go test my Memory...

Well I bought this 15 minutes dance of fthe inches and it was actually fun. I have no rhythm and could not do what she was doing when she did it but it was only 15 minutes and it was fun.

I will either get a salad there or just a diet soda! I promise!

I love the way this thread sounds. The support that I have seen is looking pretty good. I am also a mother but only to one. Would you mind if I joined in this converstaion?

Welcome Jenf!!!!

Oh I forgot...I bought a pedometer, I am going to see how many steps I take in a day. I will also wear it tomorrow at work, so I can see the difference.

Karyn~You can do it!!!!
