Good morning everyone!

Well I must say that I love the energy and enthuseasm! ( i miss my spellcheck). I get so much from it!

It seems like our theme is exercise. I peaked at the scale yesterday and I think it moved to the left . I went thru all my exercise magazines and added to my morning routine. I worked out for 1 hour and 15 mins. Which is my goal for now.

Work is good.

Terri A husband who cleans out the car < WOW, Did you check out the glycemic index?
Dana What days are you getting SUe?
Sue You busy girl! I am glad DH is OK.
Melody I hope you feel better. Fast , Then iI will only have SUe 2 times a week. LOL

Well girls off to face hump day!

Hello all...still going great on this diet!

The exercise is getting me though, I don't have any time! I have 3 kids, 2 jobs, and a demanding BF, and virtually no time to exercise...well, by gosh,

I am going to today!
No matter what!
Come **** or high water..
I am going to move my jiggly butt...

Hope you guys have great day!

I still got this nasty cold...but I am doing my best to fight it...

Melody take it easy till you get the cold and diet under control. When you try to take on too much then you get too burned out and stop. we want you to continue!1 so take it easy and slowly work exercise in your program. buy the way i am thinking of taking up running. I was hoping to drop a few more lbs v=before i started but i am not sure if it si going to happen soon so i may just start before hand. so we can so this together!

Terri We will wait for you to start on monday!! I know how hard starting up can be when you have stuff going on. so it is best to wait till you can keep your focus and not have too many distractions. BUT MONDAY!!! check out the low glycemic links that pat gave you they are very interesting. they may help you make the best of both worlds.

Pat i will never let up on you!!! Too much fun. I will get my exercise running between all of you!!! HHHMMM maybe i should start the running thing again!! I peeked too and those 2 that i gained are trying to melt off! way to go with the sneak peek!!
e
Dana you are really ripping here ready to go and those lbs will start to melt off. just keep the resolve and it will happen say with it for over 6 weks and it will be a habbit!

HAPPY WEDNESDAY !!!!

Well, Im hanging in there, just watching what I eat and reading up on all kinds on nutrional articles (read-confusing???)

Yes, I checked out the links Pat put in....very interesting, I placed them in MY FAV PLACES,,,,the glycemic(sp??) kind of confused me...I have read about those foods but the numbers there were confusing..there are 2 sets of numbers....but interesting reading anyway......

Well, its been like spring here lately and today WE GOT HIT

IT is snowing like crazy and shows no sign of stopping..we were supposed to go to MSU vs Michigan basketball game tonight in Lansing, but doesnt look like we will try it...not worth it on the roads...I will stay home in the comfort of my living room and watch it on tv.....

Sue--Hope hubby is doing OK....still sending prayers

Everyone have a great day..talk to ya later...

Good Morning Ladies! I am sitting at my computer having a breakfast of water, pepperoni's, and cheese. I am very pleased with myself, as I have stuck with my diet....It is getting easier now. I just sometimes have to remind myself to think before I eat...Last night, my Mom had made a cake with homemade icing...YUM. Before I had even thought I ran my finger along the edge of the cake, and scooped up some icing...I was just about to pop itin my mouth when I thought...WHAT THE H#*@ ARE YOU DOING???? And I wiped my finger off, pronto!
That was a close one.

I did not get to exercise again last night. Trinity, my 10 month old baby girl, has bronchitis. I had to take her to the doctor. Then me and BF got into an argument about the house...(we close on it today)...I was so mad at him I cried which I rarely do anymore, and then was so exhausted I could do nothing but think of sleeping! And once again I will try to do better today. It is warm out...suppose to get to 67 degrees...I will probably take the class out today, and have them chase me. We are suppose to have thunderstorms tonight...in January...This is some strange weather we are having!!!

Sue, I hope your Hubby is healing up well. Maybe the puffiness is just a little swelling. Keep us posted.

Everyone have an OP day!

[nasus40]

Melody you exercised one of the most important things will power. You have no idea how many times i have done that exact thing!! way to go!!! soon you will only think of doing it, then it will be a thing of the past!

[lodyangel]

Happy February everyone!


I am so happy to report a loss of 3 pounds!!!WHoooooHOOOO! I am still sticking with my diet, so that is good. Didn't get a conventional work out yesterday, However me and BF washed walls, scraped off border, and painted our bedroom in the new house. My shoulders are a little tight this AM, because of holding my arms above my head for so long. So I did get a work out of sorts.

I am not sure I will get to post this weeekend...I will try. You guys have a lovely weekend!

[nasus40]

WHOOOO HOOOO that is fantastic. I am down 1 from last week but u one from the week before but tom is here so that would account for the lack of big drop????

I moved today it took a huge effort to get going! I need to find motivation or energy!! but that is all. I am OP all the way infact i just had an apple for snack and was thinking of sprinkling some cinomon and splenda for the apple taste but i just sprinkled cinomon and it was sweet enough!! MMM good next time i might microwave it for about 1 min so it will be like a baked apple! I have been way low on my carbs and with my workout i need to be higher so that is why the apple. it is a health wet carb. that may be why i feel so drained with my workouts. if i do to low on the carbs then i feel it with the enthusiasm but no umph!!
