My mile goal for the walking is 8 miles. I don't have access to a treadmill and it is starting to get too cold walks in the mornings, hope this is ok.

I think it's just right!!

Thanks You Ladies for all the well wishes!!! Things aren't as bad as seemed (sis in-laws Mom was scaried and over reacted a bit with the details. Not that I blame her, this is her only child)
Sis in-law is still in the hospital, it is not HELLP syndrome, they don't know what is going on, should know more later today. All they do know is that her liver enzyme levels were through the roof, if normal is 50, she was at 90, and if normal protein is 300 she was at 711. Both levels have come down, but not with-in normal levels. The only thing we are pretty sure about at this point is that she will probably not go full term, hopefully she'll make it to 36 weeks.

On a positive note, at this point there seems to be no stress on the baby and we know that she's having a little BOY!!!

Forgot to post this yesterday.. I have been studying for a final and my life is pretty hectic right now. But anywho here are my stats:

Start of M/M: 149lbs
Week 1 09/28: 149lbs
Week 2 10/05: 148lbs
Week 3 10/12: 149lbs
Week 4 10/19: 146lbs
Total loss: -3lbs

I was a little shocked that I saw this number. I have been fighting a nasty sinus infection and have not exercised much. I am so ready for it to go away. I would really like to get back into my exercise routine.

Hey Mommas!

I have a request that I'd like to put out there to the group that is in no way related to weight loss but is simply from one mom to another...

I just got some very sad news about a friend's 8 week old baby girl that is sick. She's in the hospital and the doctors are not sure what is wrong and whether or not she will survive. The family is asking for positive thoughts/prayers to be sent their way. I'm not an overly religious person but I do belive in the power of positive thinking so I'd like to ask that if you are willing take a moment and send a mental "get well soon" to baby Madeline.

I hope this request doesn't offend anyone. But as mother I know if I were in Madeline's mom's shoes I'd ask for every spec of positivity I could find. So I'm asking everyone I know to join in.

Thanks and much love,
Lynda

Will definitely be thinking of her and her family.. and you too! There are excellent care facilities in Wpg-- hopefully they have some answers soon.

I'm making my goal 15 miles for the week-- a lot of my cardio is walking, and I have a ton of WATP dvd's so I'm thinking that's just enough to push me. I'm not counting my gazelle miles in that though.. it's more "gliding" and doesn't use my muscles the same way.

I get one point for yesterday-- I logged my exercise cals!! ( all gazelle time.. in the AM before the kids were up!! I was so proud..) Lol.. going to try to do both the strength things today to catch up, but my abs might just give out. WIsh me luck!! :laugh:

My unique qualities...hummm had to think about this. At first I was going to say that I am creative, since I love to sew, and not to brag but I'm pretty good at it. I'm also a good cook, which is also creative, but not what I would consider UNIQUE. So, for unique qualities I would have to say I'm deteminded and resourceful.
Now, as for how do I use these qualities to help others........? I'll get back to you on that.
