    Good evening sixers (well it is for me). Had a pretty decent day today. My trainer comes back tomorrow, so back to the grind of exercising. Made baked BBQ chicken for dinner with mashed tatos and hominy. Probably couldv'e done better, but it was what I had around the house, plus my sweet tatos weren't done yet. So, I am taking one of those tomorrow for lunch.

    Hope everyone elses day went good. Later!!

    By the way, I got all my water in today!!

    Good morning beautiful ladies. Well, I am officially sick with almost complete laryngitis (My family doing a little dance) and massive headache. I'm guessing the sinuses are the issue, although they haven't kicked in yet. Daughter had strep throat on Monday which I discovered after getting her home from school (her father sent her), and she had gone to the nurse who had taken her temperature and sent her back to class. NEVER looked inside her throat at all. Well, she did NOT have a fever, but her tonsils were so swollen, red, with pus all over them, you couldn't miss it. Is the "nurse" part in school nurse just a suggestion? Sorry, my little rant for the week.

    Anyway, my beautiful baby girl who is 10 has agreed to run a 5K with me in October. I wanted to find something to keep her active through the summer as she tends to love to sit and read (also a good thing). So I snuck her into the gym and onto the treadmill. Her first time, she jogged/walked 3.1 miles in 47 minutes. The second day, she RAN/jogged/walked in 40:25. She was so proud of herself. I may end up having a hard time keeping up with her. I have my time (on the treadmill) down to 25 minutes, but never really done the real road, so that will be interesting.

    Anyway, that's my quick update. Back to work and baking for me (I love baking when I'm sick, I can't smell anything). Have a great day ladies. Check in with you later :)

    morning....

    lula.....i run better on treadmill also. BIG difference than road running. i find it's harder. than it's the other way around for some.
    shanell...you need to try butternut squash instead of sweet potatoes, better for you and taste just like sweet potatoes. cook it the same.
    kisten..loved the pics. looks like you had a great time.

    what a busy day ahead for me today. i really need to get it in gear. don't know if any exercise will get done. i am fine with that. i will do some walking this afternoon with the girls dropping scentsy books.

    off to color hair

    Morning gals!!

    Cathy...THANKS! We had a BLAST! And there were TONS of pictures...I just put up the best ones! Anyone else who is interested can send me a private message and I'll give you my name and info for facebook if you want to add me. :)

    Lorna...I think it's FABULOUS what you and your daughter are doing together!! I can't wait until Kadence is bigger and can do those things with me!! Right now I just LOVE it when she's stretching and bending while watching me workout!!

    Shanell...I agree with your mom about the butternut squash...but I also love sweet potatos! I let myself eat whatever but in moderation...that is the key I think! :)

    AFM: Had a good night last night. Did day 2 of the slim in six AND got in a 2 mile run outside with the stroller! It was SUCH a beautiful day!! Tonight is my easy night, so probably some ab work and stretching.

    Plan today:
    Food--
    B-Cinnamon Burst Cheerios, skim milk, coffee w/sugarfree creamer
    S-Banana, cereal bar
    L-Bagel thin with turkey, cheese, lettuce, and mustard, baby carrots, light yogurt
    S-2 clementines
    D-Chicken, some veggie, some starch...just not quite sure exactly yet.
    S-Animal crackers

    Exercise--
    Slim and Six Pack (Ab workout)
    Maybe Slim and Limber (Stretch workout)

    Have a great day gals!!

    Good afternoon,

    I think I have forgotten how to workout...I just can't seem to get motivated! And to make matters worse, even though I love her for it, my friend brought in to work today birthday cupcakes for me. They are my favorite strawberry cupcakes with strawberry icing and there are even fresh strawberries within the cupcake. YUMMY!!! I do have better news, my shoulder is getting alot better. I think once I am feeling at least 95% better I will start working out again. I was off work Monday and Tuesday, so I am thinking that those extra 2 days of being off was good for my healing. On Monday, my neighbor and I went for a walk around the neighborhood...it was a gorgeous day!

    Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
    Lauren

    Only 9:50 am and it is already crazy busy at work when it is normally our slowest day of the week. Yikes!

    I am planning on going for my first hike of the year tomorrow since the weather is actually cooperating and it will be sunny with no snow or rain. Yay! It will still be a little chilly but I can handle that at least. Got lots of spring cleaning to do this weekend as well. DH has done an amazing job cleaning the house so far while he is on vacation but everything gets shoved in the basement and I have to sort through what we keep, trash, and donate. It is so nice not to be tripping over piles of clothes, books, toys and other stuff though.

    I hope everyone has an amazing weekend and take care,

    Hey gals!!!

    Happy Birthday Lauren!!! Hope you had a great birthday! :flowerforyou:

    Sorry I haven't checked in. Yesterday, I was really just worn out for some reason and didn't log all my food, so kinda feel quilty for that, but it's all good.

    Today was kinda a weird day. Took the day off from work. So, took kids to their bus stop this morning. Came home read for 30 minutes then decided I wanted to go back to sleep. Woke up to my cell ringing. Hubby asking if I had gotten called from the school, cause he had a missed call from them. Sure enough I had a lot of missed calls from them. Come to find out, my girls were in a bus accident on the way to school. Someone hit them T-bone style, but all the kids and driver were all right. So girls had all kinds of things to tell me when they came home today.

    Didn't eat that great either. Hubby and I had Cracker Barrel for breakfast and Chinese for dinner. Not good.

    Well, hope everyone has a great weekend. Gonna work in the yard this weekend. Night all.

    Where is everyone?!? Ya'll must be out enjoying all the beautiful weather everywhere. I went out and mowed the yard today. Boy am I glad I don't have allergy problems. Cause that pollen and dust was all over the place.

    Well, it's time to sit in the house and relax a little. Might make sausage hoagies for dinner tonight.

    Later all!!!

    Hello everyone!

    I got to go for my hike today and even though both kids fell into mud puddles we still had a good time. It is supposed to be even wamer tomorrow so I am going to try and get my butt out of bed early and go for a hike myself so I can go for a longer one. I love hiking with the kids but we have to keep them short since my son is only 6 and they tend to dawdle and look around at things. I am hoping if I go early enough I will get to see the deer that hang out where I go hiking.

    I hope you are all having a happy healthy weekend!

    Take care,

    Hello everyone!

    I had a great weekend - hopefully you all did too!! I am feeling super motivated! I've been trying a little different of a diet to get my body going again - because I've been stuck in a rut for so long - and it's actually working! I'm excited for Tuesday's weigh-in... Haven't said that in a LOOOONG time!

    I'm training to walk a full marathon. It is scheduled for the first weekend in June. My friend and I also have 3 other 1/2 marathons we're doing this year. I don't even think they are that bad anymore! We had planned to run them, but really for us walking is just as good. We did a 15k a while back, running, and it was really boring! My stride is just faster than hers, so I didn't see her hardly at all the whole race. So we decided to walk it, and have more fun and good conversation. :)

    Hey everyone - I just want to tell you how much I appreciate all of you! I've never had a group like this one before, and I think it's really rare and really incredible. You are like, the constant in our lives. You are always here, you never judge if we don't show up for a couple weeks/months, and you always welcome us back with open arms. I've seen it so often, and I just wanted you to all know - YOU ARE GREAT! :flowerforyou: Thank you for being here, even when I'm not. You're the best!

    Hey Kristin - You have to tell me how the car ride went with Kadence! Was she irritable at all? Did she nap a lot? And what did you do to keep her entertained?

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Well... I'm a week late getting started again with you gals. I'm really hoping to get back on track again! I'll weigh in tomorrow and add my stats. I'm sure they are NOT pretty...

    I did start logging again today, so I'm going to try my hardest to keep up with that. The hard thing is that our computer is old and sits in one of our guest rooms. My husband and I spend most of our evenings in the family room, so getting on the computer takes time away from spending with him. Hoping to get a laptop really soon...

    hey everyone,

    I've spent ages reading up on what everyones up to and now i come to write I cannot remember who's dne what!!

    Whoever is running the 5K with her daughter? that is so cool!! good luck! what a really special thing to do. will be so much fun running together.

    Chipper your C25K is going well? I will google this and start doing it myself I think. I ran a 5K last November and realyl enjoyed it. did it in 34 minutes (i dont know if thats really terrible or quite average?!) anyway i am going to start running again because i really ennjoy it when i get going.

    i've forgotten everything else! I'm on a bit of a dowener today so I'm gonna leave this post as it is and then check in tomorrow much brighter and happier!

    have a good day all xxxx
