    Nicky - I'm sorry for the hassle of the process, but I am thrilled you are getting attention for this. It is just too scary to let go.. {{{{HUGS}}}} for now - please do what you need to so you can get better. We are here for you if you want to vent..:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    I guess by default I am taking the day off, as I never got to the rec field today - although I may do a Wii fit workout, if I can get in.. DH and DD are having a blast right now.. Will go in and do 10 sets of 10 sit ups..

    Tomorrow for couch to 5K..

    Good night all.. janie

    Nicky - I'm sorry about the deal with the monitor. I hope you get everything figured out soon. ((hugs))

    Shuntae - I saw your before and after picture of the other thread. You look fabulous!

    Hi, everybody else! :flowerforyou:


    I only got those 16 minutes on the elliptical this morning. But I spent about 45 minutes carrying in and putting away groceries today including 3 flats of water. We have a split entry so I carried it from the car up the stairs and then came back down for the next load. I don't know what I burned but I know that my heart was pumping and I was sweating.

    Dave's brother's birthday is St. Patrick's Day so we're doing supper on Sunday. We're having ribs which I don't like so I'll be eating the green beans, mashed potatoes, and salad. The only thing I'll have to worry about is if there is cake. Cake and I don't get along...Well, actually we got along too well. LOL. But I've been doing well this week calorie-wise and I don't want to ruin that.

    Good morning all

    I just looked back and realized I missed the whole second page - and all the baby talk..

    I have 2 girls - not sure how I managed, but we are all happy - wouldn't mind another really, it would be a logistical nightmare, but well worth the love that would be involved. Not much of a chance for me at this age, so best to look ahead.

    Hope everyone is doing well. I have been reading the posts (at least the ones that are not inflammatory) and have decided to up my calories. I have been feeling really tired, cranky, and frustrated by slow or non-existant weight loss - hoping this will help. That and keeping up with increased activity.

    Sam - I know what you mean about the posts. I try to stay away from all but this thread and the chit,chat area. There are some folks that make me nuts, and I just don't have the energy to deal.. Stay where we are safe.. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    :tongue: I am not sure how safe you are here Janie! :tongue:

    SAM, JANIE, MARLA, AND BOBBI HAVE YOU DONE YOUR SIT-UPS TODAY! :laugh:

    Okay that is all the yelling out of me today, you are safe now Janie. I think it is wise to up your calories if you are feeling like that. I up mine from 1200 to 1370 before exercise calories and I am feeling so much better. I, however, was yelling in the bedroom a minute ago. When I first started my healthier living journey in January I wore an XL shirt and I bought a medium at Ross for $2.49 to motivate me and today I proudly wearing that motivational shirt. The only place that it is snug at all is in the chest.

    Haven't done the situps yet, Cap'n-- and life bowled me over yesterday and I was never able to get 'em in-- sick kids, visiting in-laws, work out the wazoo and a birthday-- Calgon, shoot me.

    I'm getting my version of the flu that bodyslammed the rest of my clan, which thankfully is just mildly annoying. Tired (more so than usual) a bit achy and a touch sniffly. I am woman. Still, less than 100 percent makes it tough to function these days.

    Heading to work-- hubs is away until Wednesday, and I have basketball games from here to eternity today, so my work load, typing wise, is very light-- woooooooo-- free at last, free at last, Thank God almighty, I'm free at last. (or will be very soon) Then it's time to crack the whip and get this disgusting house of mine cleaned. (kids are already trembling....I told them to be ready to clean after Aaron's basketball game-- dum da dum dummmmm) They hate when Mom goes on a tear.

    Later, team!!!!!!!

    Marla - hope you don't get sick!! You could really use a break..

    Bobbi, that is a wonderful find, good for you!

    Marla, I certainly hope you feel better soon and please don't wear yourself cleaning your house.

    Janie, I am getting ready to go for a walk / jog and I hope my mom hurries up and calls me because it looks like it might rain. Oh well, I will walk in the rain.

    Have a great week-end everybody!!! :flowerforyou:

    JanieBeth, I understand but here is the funny thing about these sit-ups and kids. My ds laughed at me too and laughed and laughed but when it came time to do them, he wouldn't do a single one. Ticked me off royaly because I know he can lots of them. :grumble: :grumble: :tongue:

    Hi everyone! I worked out to Powerflex today and my friend came with me. I was not embarrased at all and worked pretty hard. I love the class and this instructor was much better than last class. she kept up on everyone about posture, position and proper form.

    I cant wait to go again!!

    BTW I walked outside every day this week and intend to go to the beach and do 2 miles tomorrow

    Have a great weekend!!

    Good morning MFP family! I know I've been MIA for the weekend but I get to see my real family and am loving every precious moment of it. One more week to go. It's lovely in central ohio this morning so I am taking the challenge and going for a nice long walk. Hope all is well with you.

    Tata!

    ... I ripped my foot open. So I'm a limping disaster. Somehow I will get exercise in anyway, not sure how but I'll figure it out.

    Have a good day ladies.
