Good morning, all! So nice to see your cheerful and postitive posts.
Sandi-So sorry your SIL has so many weight related health problems. Maybe you will have a positive influence on her just by example?
sflake-I forgot our kitty paws when I was counting up the damage to the carpet...we have 12, too! Another rainy day here, too. No trip to the pool. Darn.
Wendy-good for you on sticking to it! Just gotta take it one day at a time and stay the course!
JackieO-concession stands...egads! They rank right up there with drive-through fast food on the "avoid" scale! Great job!
ariela-hope your sister and her DH fare well on phase 1...how nice of you to join them for moral support!
Whimsey-have a good trip to the cardiologist...hope all is well!
Nikki-your enthusiam is contagiouis! Glad you are starting off so well!
Ellis-I had a bit of a sleep-in myself this morning! My 7 year old let me sleep until after 9am! Now of course I feel sluggish and lazy. Just can't win!
Erika-2 pounds, hurray...do the happy dance!
Start back to school...okay, stop dancing! At least you know hunger may be a problem so you can plan ahead. I am the same way at work, so I keep all kinds of heathy snacks in the fridge there. Good luck!
Tina-have a wonderful day and keep that great mental attitude!
Ruth-it has been an 8 muddy paws type of year at our house! Don't think the carpet will ever be the same. Good choices at the brunch! Way to go! Maybe I'll get inspired and do some house cleaning today. Then again, maybe not!
Twodog-hope your sister comes through with flying colors! I'll have to try the Salsa Chicken...it sounds fab! Nice job resisting "unnecessary seconds!"
Lady-again, I am touched and awed by your inspirational message. It sure makes starting the morning easier! Thanks!
I made it half way through The Firm Cardio Sculpt tape yesterday, and will finish it today-IF I can walk up the stairs! They call the little step thing the Fanny Lifter....but I call it the GLUTE BRUTE!! I was so worried about learning the steps, but it turns out I don't have two left feet, only 1 1/2!! My DS watched me and commented "your'e pretty good at this, Mom!" My own cheering section...so sweet. When he asked if he could watch I said yes, but on the condition that he didn't make fun of me. He replied "I won't make fun of you...I would NEVER make fun of you!" Now if only he stays this sweet for a few more years!
I am coffee pot bound...Have a wonderful, peaceful, and productive day, Beauties!
