My ds is almost 8 and still believes in EVERYTHING!!! He knows that there are many 'look a like' Santa's as we've already had the talk that Santa is so busy right now he can't do all of the breakfasts and malls. hahaha...and last night the tooth fairy came...well almost didn't come. I went to bed as usual, and woke up at 6:15 am absolutley PANIC'D because I had forgot to put the money under his pillow!!! I'm tip toeing around in the dark and then I couldn't find the tooth, anyway it was only about 20 minutes later when he woke up. PHEW...CLOSE CALL!!! I hope the other boys don't tease him!!!

angel-eyes phew on the tooth fairy I loved the tooth fairy coming and leaving a quarter under my pillow I hope he doesnt get picked on to bad either I just cant see anything wrong with believing in Santa

hope everyone has a great day getting ready to feed my munchkin and hopefully get in about 15 minutes of workout time while he munches got in an hour yesterday and then worked on school with the rest of my free time that I had which wasnt much.

so lets drink that water stay on plan and move move move everyone have a great weekend

Good Morning! Opening night of Beauty and the Beast went ok, now to just get through the three shows today. We don't really have time between shows to leave so there will be food between the noon and three show from the theater, and I think DH is going to bring dinner up to us between the 3 & 7 show.

I've got to get some cleaning and laundry done this am before we head to the theater.

We are doing Secret Santas at the theater any fun, little gift ideas?

Michelle glad your first show went great and good luck on the rest. That has got to be a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angie, Glad your feeling better. I just cant get into exercise right now. I dont want to do my elliptical ever. I just get so bored doing it. I think I need to get some tapes that I will enjoy doing.

Go cryket on the 25 mins on the tredmill your doing great!

Djmommy we all fall off the wagon now and again, Just jump back on with the rest of us!

Ive been doing great on my eating and drinking my water. Im finally getting to the point that I rather have water over my Soda which is a major accomplishment for me. Im a huge diet soda junkie. Some people need coffee in the morning where as I need to pop open a diet soda. I just wish I could get into working out. Im so tired of being so flabby. I really need to work out so I can lose inches faster along with the weight loss.
I cant wait until Monday to weigh in. I really want a good loss instead of 1lb every week, but I rather have the 1lb loss than none or worse a gain. I think I lost weight alot faster the first time then now, because I started 6 weeks after having my baby.

ladies. wow life is getting so hectic around here for the holidays .. hope everyone is doing well. even if we have moments we go off plan what is impt is that we dont throw in the towel for the entire day have an oops and then keep working on plan and remember the next day is a new day and you can do this.
my weight is really all over the place this week i'm on plan but, with TOM water retention is killing me i wake up feeling so bloated hope that feelings gone by tuesday. well i had the cold then felt better then got the stomach bug this week my lil one ws sick last weekend doing better this weekend and now my hubby is sick uggh tired of all the germs around here. well i just got done doing my watp 2 mile walk and the firm up fast still waiting on my biggest loser dvd workout got an email from overstock.com that it has been mailed cant wait to have a new workout to try supposed to be 6 on the dvd to do im excited.

cryket great job getting on that treadmill for 25 minutes no matter what you do its great as long as we move each day. housework burns calories playing with those kids burns calories theres alot of things that burn calories

anna,
your doing a great job and let me tell you the less pop you drink or soda whatever ya call it where your from i'm a pop girl from ohio anyways the less pop i have the more water I drink I can definitely see a difference in weight loss. water is so so good for us

michelle,
i hope beauty and the beast goes well today. have a great time

hope everyone has a great day today and stay on plan get that exercise in girls. today is my last day to get any workouts in for the week so I'm going to try and push in some xtra today since tomorrow is my off day and tuesday is weigh in wow the weeks just seem to fly by.

angie

We have our potluck at the theater today, and I have no idea what to take! It needs to be easy, and have few ingredients! If it is something my own children would actually eat, that is a bonus!

I did get my cleaning done yesterday. Workouts have had to take a time out due to time restraints. I know I will get back into the swing of things this next week though, now that I am on WINTER BREAK!!!

Happy Sunday Everyone!
~~~~ GO SEAHAWKS ~~~~

Hey girls......Last night I took the boys to a buffet restaurant since dh was away and I was amazed at how high many of the customers were piling their plates!!! And although some of them were with salad....you can bet that they were'nt low calorie and or healthy!!! I did good with the main course, simple fresh green salad with low cal ranch, steamed green beans/steamed carrots/roast chicken breast without skin, and then since I ate really well,.....I had a pc of carrot cake and a small serving of icecream. Not too bad considering what was available. The cake put me over for the day by 65 calories, so I'm okay with that and back to a good OP day. Later on today after church, we've got a gingerbread decorating party to go to. I've been told to bring some hor'deuve cocktail foods, so who know's what we'll be eating. I'll have something to eat before I go just in case. Talk about strategic planning!!! Hope everyone is doing well.....STAY OP!!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!
