Hey Gals!
I told you I'd be back. Was a pretty good day here, but I am so tired! I spent the day in a computer class - which was actually pretty good -- it was for a graphic design software. I learned quite a bit, but it threw my schedule off a little. Now I'll have a lot to catch up on tomorrow. I was able to get home a little earlier than normal and fit in my exercise and dinner at a decent time. We just watched American Idol. Now a few minutes here and then I am off to bed.
I talked to my mom for a bit tonight. I can't wait to see my family. Less than two weeks!!! I only get to see them 2-3 times a year, so it's a very special time for me. I can't wait to see if she notices the weight loss.
Jeff was so sweet tonight --- he walked in from work and I was in the kitchen in a big tee shirt and exercise pants. He said "stop, let me look at you". Then he told me that he is seeing a big change in me. Made me feel great. He is not much in the romance department, but some days the littlest things make all the difference in the world!
I missed an awful lot today, and I can't catch up with everyone, but I'll try a few replies...
Michelle --- What a small world! I am right next to Aston. We must get together when you come down for one of you cig shopping trips. I won't be around for your next one. We are out of town the 17th - 25th. But maybe the next one. Birthday party at Chuckee Cheese -- you brave soul! I don't have children yet, but we went there with some friends and their kids not long ago and we all about lost our minds. It's so much fun, but crazy!
Deon - I hope you are feeling better!
Thin - Sending hugs and happy thoughts your way during this difficult time.
2Cute - Have a great time with your daughter --- looking forward to your return next week.
Tracy - Cartwheels??? wow! I am impressed. I consider myself fairly flexible, but I draw the line at splits and cartwheels!
I'm not sure how many calories Pilates burns, it's more for toning and stretching, but it sure works the muscles. I combine it with cardio. Tonight I did 1 mile on the treadmill, then about 20 minutes of pilates and some weights for the arms. I have to mix things up a bit because I easily get bored. I have been thinking aobut the TaeBo tapes or maybe Zumba --- has anyone tried that?? They had them on QVC the other night and it looked like fun. Oh - the Pilates for Dummies tape was only about $7 at Target, so it may be worth a try.
Speaking of tapes -- I still have a copy of the Oprah tape here -- if anyone wants me to mail it out, just let me know.
Tina - I haven't seen any news today. I hope you are safe and sound!
I've been trying to get into the exercise thing and doing a pretty good job. It sounds like you enjoy the WATP tapes, I was also thinking about trying them. I just can't decide on anything. I've been trying to get myself to do a short workout in the morning to wake my body up and I thought the 1 mile tape might be good, but I just can't get it going in the morning. As it is I get up at 5:30am everyday and I'd have to get up even earlier. Ugh!
Steph - good job getting to Curves again today!
Lucky, Kat, Sara, Amanda, Mary, Sandy, Jiffy, Pam (still there?), Lori, and anyone else I missed --- sending you all hugs and happy thoughts

I need to sign off for now and get some beauty sleep (I need all I can get).
Talk to you tomorrow!
