Ellis lucky you it is still -33 with the windchill. But they are saying we are going to get a wee bit of snow tomorrow. I wish we would get two feet. DH and I got new downhill skis for christmas and I would love to be able to use them. We have hardly any snow.

Darling, don't wish for things you have no control over. You may get five feet. :lol:

I would love it. ;)

Geez, Ellis, are all the Maritimers nuts? Let's send her ours!

I'm off to rehearsal shortly, hoping to work in a bit of a shop beforehand. If I'm never back you will know I'm in a snowdrift on the 401 somewhere. (Shall I take along chocolate, just in case?)

o.k. this is the third time I have started this post and had to walk away to take care of something!

well combining both plans yesterday went well. I did go over by 5 pts on the ww end of it, but I know where I need to make adjustments so that I don't do that again. I woke up this morning feeling better and more energized. So, I think this will go well.

Oh, joy someone needs me again. :rolleyes: These days I need to make an appt just to go to the bathroom!

Gonna spend the rest of the day packing.... Will check in and chat later.

Ellis, glad your furnace got fixed!

Chazmom, what form of Karate is your son in? Mine takes TaeKwonDo, and he is an advanced brown belt. It takes about a year to go from Brown to Black, I think. Don't worry about him being a black belt too soon. If he shows irresponsibility, his instructor will take his belt. And if he doesn't understand and demonstrate the self control, he won't be able to graduate to the next belt. At least it is that way in TKD, as the principle is defense. Aren't they cute with their little screams and Hi-yahs?? :)

Ellis, I'll find a special recipe for you. :devil:
PS, we put the carbon monoxide detector in the living room, but it didn't even register a thing, so it must BE that body. I'd better do some quick cleaning!

Ruth, I'd definitely bring choccy. And a beeswax candle. Those things are supposed to be warm enough to heat the inside of a car, it's a survivalist thing. And if not necessary, you can always make Survival S'mores!

I had a miraculous loss, then I gained. I hate when that happens.
I'm sure when Uncle Sam kicks in, we'll go back down! :lol:

Jennifer - He is in Tae Kwon Do, a year to go to black...hmmmm...I was thinking if it was going to be sooner than I was comfortable with that I might slow it down by only taking him to class 1 night a week instead of 2. I am not so afraid of him with a black belt as I am him testing for a black belt. It is brutal! We have been to 2 black belt testings and I have cried both times! Those poor little kids out there, they were just breaking my heart...

1busymomma - is this the first time you did a ww combo with SBD? I think a couple of people on here are doing both, but their names are in a thread that crashed.

Welcome to the new chicks!! I also want to be fit by 40!!! I have almost 2 yrs to go!!!

I never did an intro....Here it is....Turned 38 in October, I have 2 boys, 7 and 4. My 10 yr anniversary was this past Christmas. I had DH take me to Vegas right before Thanksgiving for my anniversary present, since that is where we got married:D This was the first time I had ever been away from the children, and I have to admit...IT WAS FUN! I live in a suburb outside of Dallas, Tx and I have always lived around Dallas, couldn't imagine living anywhere else...especially with all this talk of cold weather...brrrr...I am also a Stay at Home Mom, have been since Charlie was born. We have a 1 yr old Corgi, named Dexter...I think I am allergic to him, but I guess I will just have to suffer!

Well, I think that is all....Have a nice day ladies!

Being fit by 40 has been my quest for a year and a half. I think I am doing alright and I do think I can achieve it. Wait......I KNOW I can achieve it.

I had 3 mos slow down in 2003, but I am ready to move full speed ahead. I know with the help and support from these message boards, anyone can do it.

I have great fun reading the posts and now (you all may be sorry), but I am going to join in too! :D

I have until September 25 of this year to hit my goal if I am going to be fit by 40........but you know what, even if I am 10lbs off from my goal, I will be satisfied.

Chazmom- Yes this is my first time combining the two plans and so far I am loving it, it works better for me in terms of feeling better and having more energy. I woke up this a.m. feeling awesome!

I think when I am told I don't have to count I tend to overindulge.....so this may be the trick to making this WOE work for me. :)
