    We have a 4:00 a.m. wake up tomorrow...EGADS!! Picking up R&B at 6:45. Going to try to get our walk in before that. The sun won't even be thinking about coming up. I'll have to wear thermals.

    Well my gassy friends I did good yesterday. 151.2. Not bad today either. We walked the kids for 45 minutes today. Oscar hardly needed his stroller at all. He likes the colder weather. Rocky has started putting up the railings for the second half of our solar panels. These ones are facing into the sun more. And are slightly larger. It will be interesting to see how they do.

    I tried counting all the baby mollies. Somewhere between 25-30. They would not stop swimming for an accurate tail count. :*

    Go, little mollies! Go! Around and around! Up and down! :D

    147.2 at 5:00 this morning.

    No 4:00 a.m. wake up...someone (DH) wanted to sleep more...and it was pouring rain out there!! I'm going to try for a 12:30 walk after the boys are picked up by SIL. I'll walk in the rain w/an umbrella if it's nor windy. I can play Ninja w/the closed umbrella if no one is watching. B)

    I was at 151.2 again this morning. I am happy with that. Doing better now with logging again. B)

    Chris I have the babies in a floating square net. Or as some of you know they will be just little snacks for the other fish. I want to move them into their own tank soon. Must find homes for some though. Salt water mollies anyone? LOL Hope you get to walk and play Ninja.

    Aww! Cute mollies!

    147.8 this morning at 4:30. hmmmm not sure I like this trend. Then again, it was early. We walked in the dark. There was a tiny bit of drizzle but nothing major. We managed to get cleaned up and pick up the boys on time!!

    I'm going for more acupuncture this afternoon.

    Have a great Tuesday, my friends.

    151 even this morning.

    Paula what cute little babies. Mine are all black. Better to see if parasites are still lurking in the tank. B) And I can emphasize with you. There are days I just can't stop eating either.

    Chris what a great photo. Seems like just yesterday he was born. Good thing you keep us up to date. How are the treatments helping?

    Got in some weights and cardio today.

    170.5 this morning. Derek is having hand surgery this month. He has something where the tendons tighten and make your fingers permanently curled. They're going to fix it. Tomorrow is pre-op.

    Chris, Your little angel is adorable.

    Shell, Your little angels are adorable too. Hope they find good homes.

    Thank you, ladies. He is a sweetheart!

    Shelley, it takes a while for the treatments to work. I have another session the 18th and a one-on-one session the end of Feb. That one will concentrate on the spine and neck pain.

    146.6 this morning at 4:30. That makes me happy! We are walking early again today. Trainer this afternoon.

    170.0 this morning, gradually down again. Eating okay and walking. But need more water and free/body weight workouts.

    Why is it that drinking water helps lose weight? It doesn't make sense to me, but it does seem to help.

    Hope you have lovely days today.

    Paula here is to a successful surgery for Derek. That sounds awful.

    Chris keep us posted. I sure am hoping it helps. And nice weight.

    I was at 150.2 this morning. I was happily surprised. Drinking more water. You might be onto something Paula.

    Good wishes for Derek's surgery.

    Every little bit helps. This is my Day 11 with no trigger or junk.

    146.0 this morning at 5:45. Drinking water really helps me. Plus I try to drink 50 oz of infused water...cucumber, lemon and lime in the little chamber. The citrus flavor taps down any urge for food...like the food is not going to taste good w/the water.

    Keep it up, my friends!!

    Chris that made me laugh. Food tastes bad with yummy citrus drink. You are full of wisdom. :)

    Hmm, I did good yesterday. But I went up. :s 150.8. Today I had no time for exercise. Court rooms were busy all day and my feet were sore by evening. So I turned into a slug.

    146.4 this morning at 4:00. We are out the door for out dark morning walk in about 20 mins. Early R&B p/u. No workouts w/our trainer this week...she caught the flu. She says it's nasty, nasty! Did you all get your flu shot this year? I went w/DDD, SIL and Ronan...we all got poked.

    Have a great FRIDAY!!!

    Paula I am so sorry to hear about those munchies. Rocky got a case and made Root beer floats. I had a small one with him.

    Chris no I have not gotten a flu shot. I have only got one in my life. I know, bad Shelley. I hope your trainer feels better soon.

    150.2 this morning. :)

    146.8 this morning because of a few Ritz and pb&j yesterday afternoon...**sigh** What was it about yesterday?

    Walking w/DH in a few mins.

    Ronan helped me wash dishes last night...

    He is the best helper!! He also stuck his head under the faucet and got his hair wet!!

    It will be a better day for me today. None of this going backward stuff.

    Chris I had a bad day today. Went way over. 149.6 this morning. Hopefully I did not mess it up to badly.

    147.0 EGADS!! I did go backwards!! But I was really good yesterday! Anyway...walking in a few mins. We get the boys for a couple of hours this morning while DDD helps her grad student with her dissertation paper.

    Have a good day everyone.

    That is so small, incidental, you did good yesterday. The scales will catch up later.

    I got out of bed on the run and dressed before weighing. Will do it tomorrow. Lifted weights with my daughter and later walked with hubby and the kids. I feel good. :) Planning on going home in March. Going to surprise my mom on her 80th birthday.

    Shelley, That sounds like the best present in the world for your mom!

    Chris, I love the pictures. He's standing in the sink. :laugh: Love, love, love..... <3

    It's 9:30 at night and I am fighting the good fight. No more eating tonight. I'm a sloth this weekend and loving it. No deadlines, no chores, nothing hanging over my head.
    Rootbeer floats, sigh. (no no no no no Paula!) Must waterize...
    169 yesterday, 171 today.

    Luv y'all,

    You had water, right Paula??

    145.8 this morning at 6:00. :D Keeping my fingers crossed because we'll have an early wake up tomorrow. We'll see...

    Paula, he was so serious about his chore!! Washed and rinsed the same bowl over...and over...and over...it was so much fun! <3<3 Pointed at the sink and the dish in it yesterday then baby-babbled about having to get it scrubbed up. Going to have to get him his own sink and dishes!!

    Paula it is hard. Rocky loves to eat. And loves to feed me. Last night he sat down next to me and ate a bowl of popcorn and then ate some dove chocolates. I am sure the jury will find it self-defense under the circumstances.

    Chris hers is the 9th, 3 days before yours. And she lives in Washington. By Medical Lake. Near Spokane.

    Clara it has to be harder for you. Everything is portioned for a much larger man. You can do this.

    149.6 this morning. Ii feel bloated though.

    Shelley :s

    Shelley, your mom will be so happy to see you!

    Clara, drinking more water is helping me. Keep it up...or down...well, you know what I mean!!

    147.2 this morning at 5:15. Can 45 mins make a 1.4 pound difference?? Well, we walked yesterday and then DDD and I did yoga w/our trainer for an hour...it could be water retention from yoga...right? :#

    Total rest day today!! We pick up R&B in a bit.

    Hope this crazy fog clears up. You couldn't even see a block away the past week. Crazy thick, cold, dark and wet! I miss summer!!!

    190.0 this morning. Up slightly but I’m okay about it!.Have a new exercise bike that is upright and recumbent. It was a New Years gift from my bff. She bought one for herself and one for me. She is such a wonderful person.

    We are talking classes at a fitness center, working the bikes and off season Tennis coaching starts at the end of the month. Still striving for my March goal.

    Chris and Kathy such dedication. :) I love reading your updates. And Kathy you must show us a picture. Sounds really different

    Was on my feet all day. :( They are killing me. Worked late tonight also. And with 3 water changes I decided to not workout. Weight was up a little. Did not log today but I know I was under.
