    The Hogwarts Challenge is really keeping me hustling. It's fun, but I haven't had any time to goof off! I'm getting more exercise, staying low-carb and tracking food. Being responsible to the challenge makes it more rigorous, less room for easing off.

    After fighting for this trend all year, I'm gonna make it official and claim the weight loss. Down to 203.8 after having been over 210 a month ago. Being with you'all helped get this momentum started probably more than you know.

    Wish I could give you all hugs.
    Thanks for being here.

    Paula I had other Clippers for cats that looked the same. But they were slightly smaller and didn't work as well. Sorry your kits are not more like Sara. She lets me do just about anything. Congratulations on the downward trend!

    Chris cats pick their owner's. Mike wanted to be with yours. It is cold here. We got 4 inches of snow and roads closed. More expected tonight. Have a great workout.

    Still coughing. But less everyday.

    Sara was sitting on the edge of our table waiting for me to get her snacks before bed. Rocky and I had started a 2000 piece puzzle yesterday. I somehow fumbled my cup out of my hand. Hit the table and bounced loudly on the floor, tea was flying everywhere. Sara, being a sweetheart, quickly went into action. She scattered the puzzle everywhere to save it from my tea. Thanks Sara, we will talk about why you were on the table tomorrow.

    Sounds like something is going around! Rest up ladies....so hard when there is so much to do lol.

    Paula - Glad you are seeing the progress you want...yeah!

    Just got home from work after school 12 hour day...yikes! Had a big web cast today that w we need well...always a little stressful. Glad that is over.

    My husband went to PT for his evaluation today....he has 3 days a week of PT to go to....can't wait until he can drive again!

    I walked this morning...sooooo cold! 6.16 miles in 113 mins.
    Today Nick would have been 33 years old. We celebrated by getting together with Sara, Pete, Ronan, Collin and Bean, and we all went to Nick's niche to wish him a Happy Birthday then we ordered dinner, ice cream and cookies. The ice cream and cookies on his birthday is a tradition that Nick started a long time ago.

    Karen I hope he recovers quickly. PT will help.

    Chris that sounds like a great tradition. Of course I for one think that all great traditions should have cookies.

    Feeling a little more like myself today.

    Chris- agree...what a lovely tradition. Ice cream makes everything better ;) I don't know how you walk in the cold...do you have goretex clothes? I would like to walk more in the winter...but I freeze in the cold...

    Feeling at a reasonable place with the eating this week...I think I've been doing better with the protein and not reaching so much for carbs...I've also been insanely busy doing double duty at home...Bella hasn't been having a great week. Apparently Mom went off on her yesterday....a lot....Mom's helping with a lot of the commuting stuff....but clearly she's overwhelmed....ouy vey.

    My annual physical is next Tuesday and I really want to be close to my weight last year...I think I'm 2lbs away or something like that. My doctor is always thrilled I've kept 140lbs off for 10 year now (this upcoming May will be 10.) I did have a blip when menopause hit and I had breast surgery and mohs surgery for skin cancer kn my face a few years back....took me out of commission with exercise. But I've clawed back slowly ;) A journey right?

    Did yoga tonight as which was just what needed. My wrist has been painful...so wore a brace. No downward dogs for me today...but relaxing. Also did a 10 minute weight workout earlier.
