    Connie, I have the wii active & it's great! I haven't been able to enjoy it much though, my ankle just can't handle alot of the exercises. There's a lot of running in place, high knees & lunges which are just no good for tendonitis! But, I do like everything I've seen & can't wait to try it again when I'm feeling a bit better! There's one part that is inline skating, going down hill & jumping off of ramps!! It's super fun! The lower you squat, the faster you go & then you have to jump out of your squat once you hit the ramps! Really works your quads & it so much fun!! :bigsmile:

Then to the garage with more lifting and moving and sorting for the rest of the day.....I was thinking of putting on one of my DVD's or getting on the wii tonight....but I think I'm with you sandy I'm done, will maybe I'll go up and down the stairs a few more times tonight.....:yawn:

    Hey there ladies!!!

    Hope everyone is doing well! Sandy I see you are losing a good amount of weight this week!!! Well I am not sure I am going to weight in tomorrow. I will for sure in the next day or two just so I know but I ate dinner tonight and did not realize there was gluten in something I ate so now I am soooo bloated and in a lot of pain. I was going to work out tonight as I was very busy all day but now in so much pain I am not sure I can make it (maybe try some yoga with Bob?) . Anyway we will see how bad I feel tomorrow and go from there. I look forward to seeing all you ladies great weight loss this week!!!

    Good morning ladies!!

    Crystal - thoughts & prayers for you & your family!

    Connie - you superwoman you!! Still digging post holes!! That is going to be one awesome fence! I'd love to spend some time cleaning my garage, but it's all the husband's plumbing crap!! We'll never get our truck parked in there! Never!!

    Amanda - so sorry to hear about your gluten issues! I have a few really good friends that struggle with it as well! I look forward to seeing your weigh in though! I know that you're doing great!!

    Everyone - let's keep going & make everday count!

    So, my weigh in this week.... ... 148!! That's down 5 lbs f rom last week!! Now, remember I was up 1 so I'm guessing that this is probably the results of 2 good weeks, but happy none the less!

    Well, I gotta run! But, have a great day & I'll try to catch up with you all later!!

    Amanda, I'm glad to hear that you're feeling a bit better & congrats on the loss this week! Enjoy your busy weekend! We'll look forward to checking in with you on Tuesday!

    Connie, that's awesome about your inches!! That's where it really counts anyway!

    I was able to get outside to do a brisk walk by myself this morning!! It was great! Sometimes, we Mom's just really need some alone time to concentrate on just oursleves for a little bit, even if it is only 45 minutes! :wink:

    Have a great day & weekend!

    Hey girls!

    I'm back! I'm so sorry I was away for a while. There's been a lot going on. I had to go through a battery of medical tests and just got diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (found over a dozen cysts in each ovary), with a side order of Anemia and Hyperinsulinemia. It's treatable and I'm already on medication, but it explains so many of my symptoms - weight gain, hair loss, prolonged periods.

    Doc says now I really need to lose weight, not just for vanity's sake but for my health! The medicatioin should help with my insulin resistance and a low carb diet and exercise will help speed things along.

    Oh I need your support more than ever girls!

    I missed you all! Can wait to hear from you again. :)

    So far my day is going well, I am following my diet plan and I did spend lots of time outside playing with the kids. Walked for 25 minutes. Now we're cooling down inthe basement cause it's too hot outside. I think this is going to be a good week for me.

    Congrats Sanifrey on the 5 pounds.

    Hey Ladies !!! Hope all is well.....

    Update... My mom now has to get an angiogram to find out the exact status on her aneurysm. Then we get to decide what to to... I guess the coil surgery wont work on hers as it doesnt have a narrow bottom. Also it is in the middle of a y brnch of arteries.......... Figures she wouldnt get the easy way !!

    But I am doing good !! I got my job I had my physical today!!!

    Hey Ladies!

    It'd be really great to see some more activity around here! Let's try to get some encouraging topics going!! What is everyone doing for workouts & how is everyone beating this summer heat??

    I'm planning to take the girls out & letting them run around in the sprinkler a bit!! Good times!!

    I've been using a great upper body workout dvd by the FIRM. The exercise combinations are really great!! I really do feel it the next day!!

    Hang in there girls & keep goiing!!

    I haven't been doing much workouts these days. I take walks with the kids, go for a swim with the kids and I do some sculpting about every 3 days. If I do to much and push myself I end up qutting. So I try to just keep myself active all day long. Sorry that wasn't very motivating. haha

    No, I think that's perfect!!

    I think that making "exercise" part of our everyday routine is the key!! What better way to be active then spending time with your/our kids??!! I really do enjoy pushing the girls in the stroller, I get a great workout pushing a double stroller + 50 lbs of kids & we get to spend time together, talking about the weather, the animals, the people we see & meet, etc! Then we always round out the walk with a trip to our garden for some weeding & then playing on the swing set for a bit! Good times!! :drinker:

    Keep up the good work MammaK!! :flowerforyou:
