    Hi, I would really like to join up next Sunday, but will start tommorow morning! I am at 204.6 (gasp) and my goal weight is 120.

    I find that my biggest challenge is eating a healthy lunch. Usually I just skip it and then am starving and eat the first thing I see. My family loves eating out, deserts, and so it will be a long struggle but I turn 30 next summer and want to be at my goal by then.

    I am looking forward to the support and of being a part of the group! Sounds fun!

    Good morning all! Well here is to a good day for us all.

    After the week-end that our family endured I need to get back on the fitness thing. I intend to hit the treadmill every night. I have twirling tonight and that is always a good work out for me!! :happy:

    We are in hopes to get some word on my dh's tests today. For all of our sake we just need to know then we can deal with whatever the results.

    We didn't get nearly as much snow as they were calling for. I was actually looking forward to coming to work and shoveling!:noway: The sidewalks are clear!

    Oh well, hope everyone has a fantastic Monday!

    Okay team, did you all see that adorable baby boy under Sonshinemom's name. That is my ADORABLE nephew. He gets his blue eyes from me. I am glad you are here, Kelly. It will be great doing this together!!

    11Kimberly11, I will get you on the chart today because I need to make a change to it. Glad you are here.

    Willow12, our challenge this week is 20 push-ups each day. Either regular, wall or knee kinds. That way everybody can do. Or you can mix them up. I can only do 2 regular before I hit my knees. I also do 20 wall ones in the shower, weird but it is peaceful there. :laugh: We will have a new challenge next week.

    Ann, waiting on tests is extremely hard. We have waited on many tests concerning our youngest daughter. The first blood test to determine her diagnosis, blood tests to check med levels and lots of other things. I have learned whether you think you can or not you can deal with the results. It is not easy sometimes it is next to impossible, but it is doable. I will pray for your family today, I hope that is okay. I am not sure what tests are being done but your family is in my prayers.:flowerforyou:

    Have a fanastic day team, I am home with a sick little girl, so I am hoping to get some exercise in. It is so hard when they are sick and non-verbal with no hand function for sign. I really have no idea what hurts and because of seizure meds and other meds it is really not advisable to give her too much over the counter stuff! :grumble:

    Amanda, I hope your little girl feels better soon.

    I just got back from a spinning class...that was painful after waking up with sore legs from soccer...it's nice to get my workout done in the early morning though.

    Good luck for today everyone!

    Kim, I admire for completeing your workout early. I have yet to do mine. I have to exercise today because it 9:15 am and I only have 600 calories left for the day. That is what I get for eating my leftovers for breakfast! :tongue:

    Does anybody have any fitness wants for Christmas, things you have been wanting to buy or try or purchase for yourselves?

    Wow - Way to go for those of you who have exercised already! I find it hard to find the time to exercise during anytime of the day but ecspecially in the mornings. My goal is to walk around our house/ yard 5 times, three times a day. This I can do without taking the boys out and could do at night also. small goal - yes it is but one I feel I can actually do!

    And I had a healthy breakfast!

    Smiles!

    Evening all. I just got in from work and, so far, I'm doing well on my calories today. It's 6.15pm so I'm going to make dinner for the family now and then hit the treadmill. Welcome to all the new joiners and Amanda, so sorry to hear your little one's not feeling well. One of mine is still at work and the other is in a post-school slump in front of the TV!

    Enjoy the rest of the day everyone. :happy:

    Well done Amanda - it's really hard to fit in exercise around sick children - I'm impressed! I'm a little sweating heap now so I'm off for a shower then dinner. Sorry - is this too much detail? Feels a bit like Twitter! :laugh:

    Allison, I think being in a sweaty heap is a good thing, not to much detail for me. LOL You know I don't even know what Twitter is exactly! :ohwell:

    Kelly, I think walking around your yard is a good goal and also if dh is home or oldest son perhaps walk up and down your driveway. Now that would be some work! :tongue:
