maryblu - Waving back to the land of the cold and the hardy. Shouldn't you be talking about your Spring plantings? Just think of all those Crocuses under that snow who need a little encouragement to rise up.
onebyone - Kudos for having a plan in place for arriving home late and tired. That's a big honking deal. By the by, can you tell us about that friendly critter peeking at us in you avatar? My memory is that he appeared about ground hog day.
Robin (RobinW) - Congrats on the scale moving down; Kudos for the attitude that accepts whatever it reads. Hope your birthday celebration went well last night.
Chris (angelmomma210) - Ouch for sore shoulders. I forget that driving a school bus is a physical job.
Tera (twilit tera) - Kudos for continuing in your pool, chair, and shoes at, of course, different times. (When I think of Texas, chili is spelled with only one 'L' and it's not chilly, LOL. You guys can quickly exceed my tolerance for hot with some of that Texas Chili.)
ChinaMaine - Interesting thoughts about transferring negative body image from generation to generation. Just love the idea that some people break that tradition and raise daughters with positive body images. Ouch for "nervous Nellie" UPS drivers; I hate waiting for a package. Reminds me that I spent my entire childhood waiting for packages from Kalamazoo, Michigan after I sent in cereal box coupons and coins.
Lily (lilyyoung) - Kudos for reading your Advantages Cards and upping your exercises by joining the new Sports Club. Neat that you can flexibly float your day off to fit emergencies, like snow days.
Jen (JenMusic) - Ouch for over tired and Double Ouch for over tired leading to over eating. Is it possible to create a plan for when you arrive home tired? Do you eat a snack or dinner before your evening teaching? Kudos for a clear plan for exercises today.

• I can’t resist this craving.
• I’m upset … I have to eat.
You may have had these thoughts - or variations of them - thousands of times in your life. But I will teach you how to overcome these thoughts so that you can stick to your eating plan.
