So, how is everyone's Monday going? I'm still sick. Sore throat, cough, chest cold. And cough drops have calories. Ick! I can only use Robitussin Honey & Lemon.

Our internet connection here at the office is very slow today -- we keep having problems.

I can't believe this -- my Mom tells me today that my 8 year old niece now has her own cell phone. She bought it with her Christmas money. Knowing her, she already has a long list of boys' numbers programmed into it. I'm not really sure why an 8 year old needs a cell phone anyway.

I am having a good day so far. It's been hard getting re focused and back on track but I'm over 32 oz of water and now hiding in my bedroom til the girls are done with their microwave popcorn so I don't eat any. I need to go tonight and get some veggies I can snack on during the day. I plan on doing 40 mintues on the elliptical trainer tonight.

Susan~ I hope you feel better soon! - My daughter is 10 and I can't imagine her with a cel (tho I guess kids in her class have them) she's bad enough with the phone at home! She's never in town or at the mall etc without an adult so I see no reason for a cel. Maybe when she's 20

They are calling for snow this weekend. I am excited. I love it! (sorry Susan ) Not so much playing in it but it slows everything down and is beautiful. - hehe! And it keeps the kids busy!

Have a beautiful day everyone!

My only phone is a cell phone and younger people can't believe I don't always answer it. Sometimes, I don't feel like being available! My sister was incapable of remembering times and places when we arranged to meet- she knew she could call me so I stopped answering. Funny, how quickly they figure it out!

Monday is moving along, so I can't complain . Do wish we had gotten some of that East Coast snow, though. I'm with you, teops -- I love, love, love snow! Love looking at it, love playing in it (even though I don't ski or board or anything like that), don't mind driving in it (although I do worry about some of the other drivers... ). I even love shovelling it! Especially now that I can count it as an Exercise Activity !!!

Alas, we got nothing here. Just some air-snow. You know, the stuff that kinda floats around all day but never lands or piles up like proper snow. Bah!

Speaking of weather, sorry you're feeling under the weather, Susan. Rest up as much as you can. Soon you'll be feeling chipper again!

Kids and cells? I guess it depends on the kid and their maturity level. Or maybe her folks got her that new kiddy-cell. I remember seeing one sometime around the holidays that had like 2 buttons -- home and police. Kid can't give out the number and can't call anywhere except home or police. Or something like that.

My son is 15 so I wasn't really paying much attention .

Anyway, Monday... weight training, check. Cardio (treadmill), check. Water, working on my 3rd 24-oz bottle as I type this, check. Food choices so far, good (although one or two of the portions may have been a bit... hefty ). As I said, Monday is moving along. A good start to the week. Even without any snow!

Hi everyone!

I had a really hard time getting on here this morning. I finally got on!! Phew! I was getting withdrawl symptoms!

I was not very good this weekend. I had a pig out session Sat. night which lasted through Sunday! But boy did it feel good! I feel guilty of course now!

Today has been OP!! I am planning on working out when I get home! I am also wearing my pedometer!!

Have a great day everyone!

I had a snow day today. I really needed an extra day. Of course I laid around and did nothing. I need to do laundry and other things but I just don't feel like doing it. I have no energy today. I think I am going to lay back down now.

Today started out well then went to heck in a handbasket real quick!! Thats what I get for not having a clear plan, both for my activities as well as my food. I was running around because therapy ran late, Robert's mother wanted to drop off dinner, dance which is usually cancelled if there is no school ended up being "on" and I had to bake brownies for school tomorrow and finish up Valentines with Bobby! Whew!

On the plus side, I did a gentle 30 min on the Life Cycle. (My back is KILLING me from shoveling the 24" + of snow we got). But I did exercise despite my pain, so Yay for me! I also got about 50 - 60 oz of water in so far. Not up to par exactly, but not too shabby either. I'll probably get another 24 oz in before bed tonight.

On the downside, food was horrendous and timing was non existent. I WILL form a plan tomorrow and I WILL stick to it!

I am off to finish up a few odds and ends and then pick up Michelle from dance at 9 pm.

Susan hope you get to feeling better soon!!! My Monday was good, I worked, ate good and got in all my water. Today I've done my morning workout, gotten in almost half my water. Need to get a shower and go run errands. Have a good day ladies!!!!
