Good morning everyone!
Sorry I didn't get a chance to post all weekend long. The assembly wiped me out pretty good. We'd get home and I'd play with the kids and then send them to bed so that I could crash too. I really enjoyed it but am equally glad it's over, you know? The first day the kids gave a us a run for our money. It's just so hard for 1 and 2 year olds to sit for 6 hours. So we got up alot to walk them around and let them stretch their legs. Yesterday my dd (the 2 year old) did fantastic. She didn't have to get up once. I did get her up once because she was being so good to reward her with a walk (plus my butt was hurting from sitting so long) my son on the other hand was awful. He didn't want to sit for 5 minutes. My dh did ALOT of walking with him. But after lunch I put him to sleep and we enjoyed the rest of the assembly with him alseep in my arms. So all in all in was hard but enjoyable. We have another in May. A three day convention. That should be challenging.
OK, enough about that. I'm trying to avoid the question of how I did for the challenge. Well, I didn't make it. I weighed in this morning and it said 136. A four lb gain!! I know some of it's water because I ate alot of food with tons of sodium in them this weekend. But still. To me a gain is a gain. And I'm not happy about it but then again I'm not beating myself up about it. I wore a size 6 dress to the assembly that fit perfectly and that was all that mattered. But today I will try to eat things that will help flush my system out and I'm sure I'll see the scale move down tomorrow. But I didn't make the challenge. But I am definitely up for the next one. I'm ready to get these last few lbs off!!
So give me a date girls and I'm ready.
Misty- don't worry about low carb not working for you. It's a great diet as far as losing fast but hard to stay on. Not realistic when you love fruit and vegtables so much. For me the pasta always did me under.
Just try low cal again and I'm sure you'll be fine. It worked great for you before.
Congrats Gemini on the 11 lb loss! That's very encouraging for me to hear. Keep up the good work!!
Oh, misty, my hair came out great! I just love it!! It was darker than I expected (the color is golden light brown) it's that new loreal Open brand. But the color is so pretty. I got lots of compliments. My dh really likes it. It's more of my natural color anyway and I like that I don't have to bleach my hair out first to get the result. Just one box and I'm done. It's really pretty. I'm going to stick with this for awhile. You've never dyed your hair?? That suprises me. I thought every woman has at least once. I don't know many people with thier natural color anymore unless they are kids.
That is so neat. What is your hair color??
Jackie, don't feel bad about your gain. I'm right here with you. We'll take it off together ok??
Well, I need to eat breakfast. I'll check in later! Have a great day everyone!!
But that's ok. As long as I am not bright red tomorrow I'll be fine. 
Watch out for all that green beer, Bailey's Irish Cream, cheesecake & corned beef, it really puts on the pounds! I'm going to make corned beef & cabbage tomorrow & will skip the remainder of the above. I've been pretty good staying OP & rode my bike just about everyday for 60 min. or more. I sometimes forget that I'm 'peddlin when I'm surfing the web!
Hi jakie
very exicited about that because exercising and eating healthy is very challenging for me as I know
I'm back
I FEEL LAZY
