    GoOOOoooOOOOd Morning!!!!! Man, I am wired today!! Got my Shred and 2 miles in already.. and I'm not dead!! Of course, sitting down to go the bathroom may be a challenge, but I'm looking at the positive side!!
    Just wanted to check in and say Hi-- you're all awesome, beautiful strong women who are wise enough to take care of yourselves AND your amazing children. Be proud of yourselves-- that's an amazingly important job ( and REALLY hard somedays!!).

    That's it for now-- I gotta run, and won't be around much today-- have daycare kids, plus my house is a fricken' tornado zone. And.. well, I' should really take advantage of my endorphin high while it lasts!! Lol..

    Elaine...Ahhhh!! I'm trying to keep up with you! I did the 30ds and 1.2 miles on the treadmill. 2 miles...good work!! 30ds isn't getting mug easier yet, but it's not getting harder.

    Melissa- any word from your sil? Karie was asking since I think she has a few people waiting.

    Keep up all the good work ladies!

    Go ahead and tell Karie that one of her girls can join. My sis in law is not going to be able to do it. I thought she would but she said nope! Sorry for the wait!

    Melissa-- oh no!! Will be thinking about ya.. and really, take whatever you need! I would be an emotional basketcase-- good luck!! And to top it off its TOM? Crrrraaaaappy.

    Steph-- Yeah, I might be a go-getter, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea!! I'm DYING now... sitting down to go to the bathroom is torture!!:sad: If I can make it through the weekend, with all the distractions ( John is taking Matthew to his first Bomber game tomorrow, Emma's birthday on Sunday, I have a meeting in Brandon on Monday....) I'll be pretty impressed. At this point, curling up and crying seems like a valid option.

    Update on the boob issue! LOL!
    Well I went for the ultrasound today and the tech is not supposed to tell me what she sees (the doc is supposed to do that) but, she told me a little anyway so I could make it thru the weekend sane. She said that it doesnt show up as nothing but breast tissue. Like I said in my newsfeed, I pray she is right. I will find out monday from my doc and I will let you all know! Oh yeah, and on monday (since I did nothing this week so far) I am kickin' some butt in the gym!!!! I am gonna try to not eat bad this weekend while I am out shopping and pray I lost some weight! At least I can contribute that way! LOL! Thanks everyone for caring!

    Elaine...I'm counting 30ds as my crunches and lunges, since they are a part of it anyway and I end up doing more than the challenge goal with just the 30ds.

    Get to know challenge...
    Melissa-a very dedicated and hard working mom. She works out hard and is definitely on her way to big success. She motivates and inspires with her kind words.
    Elaine-a very busy lady! She motivates me to work just a little bit harder (am thinking about a second workout today since I saw that she was doing the same!!) Love it! It keeps me on my toes!
    Cindy-such a hard worker and seems to have great organizational skills(how else would you be able to work ft, take care of kids AND workout). She has worked in fun activities (swimming) into her workout, which is such a great activity to do with kids and to keep up for longterm.

    Hi guys!!! Hope you're all having a FAB weekend.. it's 3:30 here, and I still haven't had a chance to get a workout in. Been insanely busy with "weekend" stuff!! On the plus side-- *finally* picked up our new bike trailer.... it's SO light in comparison to the old one! Emma's gonna love it! Plus, with my doing home daycare, I can write the thing off!! Yaay! :bigsmile:

    Ok, so I'm FINALLY getting around to this. Yikes!!

    Steph-- Ahh, our fearless leader. An organizer at heart ( one of the downfalls of being a teacher!! {or, upsides... however you look at it!}) who is certainly a busy momma. With a move and a new home under your belt, you have exciting things going all the time, plus a sweet babe who is SO cute! You got me started doing the 30 Day shred... and now, you've given me a reputation to uphold!! Believe me, that's motivating!! Your positive energy has inspired me to believe more in myself, and knowing that I'm certainly not the only one that Jillian Michaels is making feel queasy is certainly appreciated. Plus, you live within spitting distance ( well, for a GOOOd spitter) from me in real life! Crazy.

    Melissa-- Your energy and enthusiasm abounds!! A dedicated mom, you've taken on the task of going back to school ( which amazes me) to follow your passion. That takes a lot of guts, plus the ability to know yourself and recognize your dreams makes you awesome! Your faith is an anchor for you and your family-- you word hard to spread that love to those around you, and it's visible in your kind words and determination to live the life that God has made for you to the fullest. Even when things get scary, your optimism and hope shine through. With all that going on, you're still learning to make yourself an important priority in that mix... a lesson that I'm learning as well!

    Cindy-- I've not has as much of a chance to get to know you, but you're working hard to make your fitness plan work for you by making this a LIFESTYLE change, not a "for now plan". You work FT AND have a busy mom life-- I bow down to your awesomeness!! Your family and friends are extremely important to you-- essentially the reason you're on this journey. You can do this! And, you and I both have Gazelles.. we have to share some tips ! ( I just get on there and give'er... :))
