Good mornign ladies! How are we all doing? I feel much better now that I WI and I am accuatly down so that is good. We have a playdate at 10:30 this morning that I am going to try my hardest to behave and only eat off the fruit and veggie tray so wish me luck. I am also going to try to hit the Y today to work out around 4pm. Anyone ever taken pilates? I was thinking about taking one of their beginner classes.

Anyone have anything exciting planned this week? I dont' go back to work until Thursday so I am kinda wide open. Got another heating guy coming on Wednesday so hopefully he can sort out the issues.

Hope everyone has an awsome day!

Well I am off to the OBGYN this am - woo-freaking-hoo. Other than that I have bowling and lunch with girlfriends on Saturday - I THINK I am going to a bookfair preview tomorrow evening... uhm... I am sure there was something else but it escapes my feable brain at this time...

Going to be 100% excellent this week... may try to get in some exercise too. Besides the TaiCHi I mean.

Laurie - Pilates is very challenging - but I have yet to hear anyone complain that it does not work for them. I tried it a while ago but - damn - I could barely drive after that - my arms felt so weak. You remember I told you though that I have issues. Why not try it?!

Have a great day Ladies. I will feel better when this doc visit is behind me I am sure.

I have done Pilates (video) and it was actually tough. My mom ordered me a Pilates machine from QVC and I love it. I haven' used in a while, but I will start back doing it 3xs a wk.
I am still feeling like s--- and I am going to lay in the bed today and do nothing.

Well, I am getting my hair done this morning red highlights in my mousy brown hair...

What is a pilates machine? I thought pilates was a floor excersize?

Speaking of hair, I got some highlights put in my hair last summer and now I think I am going to have it died back to my dark brown. I just don't like the texture or something of my hair with the highlights so I am working my way back to normal!

Well I am excited that I lost 1 lb. With not being totally on the diet last week and with all the soup and crackers I ate I will take it. And it puts me into the 180's!!

Melissa hope you feel better soon, you did really well this week. And Laurie I am glad you are down too....sure lifts the spirits doesn't it.

Speaking of hair I am getting mine done Thursday afternoon. I have dark and light tones put in. I love it. I have fine hair and it gives my hair body and of course I look beautiful!!!

I work only Tues. and Friday this week so I am hoping to finally start reading my book and getting back to my exercise and setting up my routine this week.

Have a good week everyone.....boy these weeks are flying by

Good-MLK-morning everybody
Ya'll's good reports got me going back to the WI, although a day late.... and lo and behold, I was down 2 lbs, even after several drinks already this am. Of course I have to be truthful and let it be known that I 'only' deleted 2 of the extra 5 lbs that had crept on . . . but hey, at least it is down rather than up!
Good luck to ya'll with the glorious hairstyles and colors. I prefer to 'live with mine' and gracefully (I hope) stay "natural" - don't like the idea of all the chemical being put on the hair and then 'seep into' my porous brain cells..... I take antioxidants to get rid of free radicals... sooooo - that doesn't mean that I am not a 'red-head' at heart ! HAHAHA
I have been busy building a new website for my busines team.... I am very pleased with it.... it looks quite professional I think.... did I mention that I am besotted with my computer - and when I think back - so many years - I can still remember how I sat by the stupid keyboard with DH behind me "forcing me" to learn Word Star (or something like that) and I almost went into a tantrum with tears all over the table, because I was "NEVER going to learn all that" ! - and now he can hardly pull me away from that keyboard ......
Have a great day

The lady that is famous for the Pilates has also created a pilates machine. It is hard to explain, but it is easier to do than the flood exercies. Check out QVC's website and they will have more info.

Hey - guess what??? I am finally getting hair My head looks like a fuzzy chick, but its coming in I will be so glad to have real hair again.

Well, I lost 1 1/2 pounds officially. I weighed in this morning to see what the damage would be and I am at 170.5 - so close, but yet so far.

I have an incredibly busy week, so I will not be able to be on here much. It's tax season and I am swamped

Hope everyone has a good week.

Lynn

MMMMM - Tuna. I forgot about tuna... THAT shall be my protein at lunch today - TY Lynn!

Hi All!

Teri - great to hear your hair is coming back in! Good for you! Can't wait to hear what color/texture it comes back in.

Lynn - I hope this week is much better for you. Did you get your power back finally? Keep up the good work and stick to your plan!!!

Sounds like we are gonna have a great lookin bunch of ladies around here with all sorts of stylish hair-dos! I was just thinking today that I need to do something about mine. Hmmmm.... I'll have to give it some thought.

Robert is progressing very well. He actually made it upstairs today and took his first shower in 8 weeks!!! He said it felt wonderful. I don't think he will do it every day, but at least a few times a week for now. Therapy is going very well also. I think he should be getting around with just a cane in 3 to 4 weeks.

My week looks pretty busy as usual. Bobby has basketball today, Tues, Thur, and Friday. Michelle has dance Tues, Thur and Sat morning. She also has a school dance Friday night. I am going to take Bobby to see a Professional Bull Riders show Saturday night. He just loves the Bull Riding when we go to the rodeo! It should be exciting. Robert has not decided yet if he wants to go. I told him I would take him in his wheel chair and it wouldn't be a problem at all. Oh well - we'll see. On top of all that, I have work, therapy for Robert Mon, Wed, Fri and a meeting Tuesday night. Whew! I'm tired just typing it all out!

I did 34 minutes on the treadmill today while Robert was in therapy. I walked 2 miles in 34 minutes and burned roughly 300 calories. I really felt it in my legs, so I hope it is gonna start to work for me! There are mirrors all over the place in the workout room - makes me have to "face" what I really look like and I'll tell you, I DO NOT like it! But it certainly inspires me to keep walking!

Hope every one has a wonderful and successful week!
TTFN- Sharon
