Hello Everyone!
Welcome to the board Ann. I'm a little new too and I just jumped right in. These ladies are terrific. I have 3 kids and still don't know how I make time for myself. You can do it though. Look how far you've some.
My weekend has been one of the best so far. I was having issues with DH but he seems to have gotten the bug outta his butt. I'm so glad. We went to his Mom's Saturday night and she fed us and watched the kids while we went to get groceries and a little extra curricular activity.
The flu has all the counties around us closing the schools but not here. Half the class was out sick Friday in DD's class. So I didn't want to take them to Walmart. My four year old is sick. It seems to be a cold but her nose is raw. Add this to her whiner/drama queen attitude and it ain't pretty. I feel so bad for her. She was to get pictures done at school tomorrow but her nose is raw and swollen so I have to reschedule. She is so sad. I can't wait for summer. We got jipped out of snow so bring on the warm weather. I'm over it!!
I got the best magazine at Walmart. It's called Looking Good Now! and it is from the makers of Shape & Men's Fitness. It is about real people losing weight. This is the premiere of this mag and it has awesome recipes and stories. The cost was just $1.99 and Walmart has it 10% off that. There quite alot of exercises and motivational stuff. I did the exercise plan and it knocked me out. I totally dig this mag. There is a recipe I am going to try this week too. I'm going to post it here:
Spicy Tuna Burgers

prep time 10 minutes
cook time 10 minutes
4 6oz cans light tune in water drained (I'll use the pouches)

I think it sounds great. And a friend said it was only 6 WW points. I don't know though.
That's about it for my book tonight. We watched the Stupid Bowl but hated both teams so I worked out while Hubby wrestled the kidlets.
