    Hi. I'm very excited about finding this group. I'm 40 and want to lose 15-20 pounds. I own a small preschool working 10-12 hour days and have 4 kids of my own ages 1, 8, 13 and 15. This doesn't leave much time for anything else so I need all the help I can get to stay motivated. I've started tracking my food intake and getting up between 5-5:30 to do my cardio. I've just finished reading feed the muscle burn the fat. I'm eager to start this program and start strength training again.

    Turns out the spinning I've been feeling is actually a migraine of sorts... Feel better just knowing it's pinned down lol!
    Got my son some good winter driving experience too, as he had to drive home. We're getting 5-7 more inches on top of the inch of ice from the last storm... hope I can get to work tomorrow!

    Hey kids,

    Needless to say the weather people were right again. We are being slammed right now and told to stay off the roads because it is too dangerous.

    Larro I can count on you to liven the party. Awesome video.

    For those of you who are in the snowy mess I understand your pain. People like Larro I envy...lol


    Have a great day everyone.

    12 inches of snow. Plenty of workout clearing the driveway. It took almost 3 hours. long driveway. I've got a small electric snow thrower but it is still harder work than I'm used to doing. And I still had to shovel out the 2 - 3 foot piles where the snow plow pushed the street snow up.

    If you've posted, you've joined! Just pitch in and share your tips, tricks, daily motivation, vents, etc. We're all helping each other out.

    Saying which, any suggestions when you are tired so you eat everything? I'ts 11:02 and I've already eaten both snacks I brought to work and want to wait until 12:30 to eat lunch. I'm drinking water (which is all I can think of) to fill up until lunch. My own fault, stayed up way to late (specially since I was up yesterday at 5:30) reading a new book. Now I'm sleepy. Must remember to get my workout gear on as soon as I get home. Luckily my mom comes to watch the kids for me while I go at 5 to workout, harder to back out and have a nap that way!

    Aww that is so nice of your mom, did you get your workout done???

    Welcome to the new cool kids!!!!!

    Good Morning cool kids. Happy Friday!! Cherylann - certainly is a beautiful place, and I'd say you are lucky to liver there as well. England is on my bucket list to visit (other than Heathrow airport - been there)

    Larro - that video is funny.

    Alf, I certainly hope that glute muscle does cause you too much grief! You have been through so much with injuries already.

    Carmel- my goodness, I thought we had it bad for weather. We got another snowstorm on Tuesday, however, it is business as usual around here. We don't often get the ice / snow mix that makes things so terrible to travel. If we do, it is usually more in late fall / early spring.

    The weather has warmed up some today. We have our big ice fishing derby taking place this weekend (approx 1200 people take part). The weather is supposed to be "nice" all weekend, which is a blessing. The ice fishing derby traditionally has some of the coldest temperatures ever, with many participants suffering frost bite or just dropping out on day two because of the bitter cold.

    Went out for a quick night hike last night. The full moon was gorgeous and certainly helped light our way once the clouds lifted. Below is a picture my g/f took with her iPhone. My headlight is lighting the snow in front.

    Happy Friday all! Can't go without my Friday pic!! Although love seeing all of your pictures posted! The castle is beautiful Cherylann! Love Castles!
    Sdereski- the moon shot is great too. It was out when I went to the gym this morning and I could see it in my rear view mirror as I was driving down the hill from my house. I was wishing I had a camera at that moment!

    I made it to the gym and ran intervals and worked on legs and abs today for weights. Not a bad workout! I think tomorrow will be just weights as I am headed to see hubby at the rehab facility tomorrow. He seems very much at ease there and is getting along well with everyone. They are holding him to task as well and not letting him refuse therapy either which is great!! He can be stubborn sometimes, but then, can't we all!

    Beautiful sunny day here today. Not the warmest, but I will take mid 20s over sub zero any day. It will feel like a heat wave!!! Have a good one all!
