    Good Morning Everone!
    Busy day ahead but I burned 810 calories on the TM this morning!! I was on for an hour and it felt soooo good. Making it for an hour (at the strenuous pace and incline I could barely do for 20 minutes 2 weeks ago!!!) was a goal of mine and I am happy to have accomplished it! I hope you all accomplish one ofyour goals today too. Have a blessed day everyone!
    Melissa

    Todays goals
    water, water and more water to flush out pizza sodium from last night!
    no birthday cake at party today
    make good choices for eating back exercise cals

    Hale Freezes Over just posted results and photos. I finally found one of me!

    I'm in the red with my back to the camera, LOL. Took me all morning to find a single picture of me among the 250+ entrants!

    And way to go on that hour, Melissa, you show that TM who's boss!

    Trish I'm sorr you're so frustrated. I wish I knew what to tell you. Just stay with it, and one thing that helps me (and only helps now that I'm not doing the timed runs but maybe 2-3 days a week) is to cover up the stats on the TM (time, calories, distance) with my sweat towel so I just run until I can't anymore. It really does help me. That and not listening to music.
    Thanks for the sweet comment about my new picture. Yesterday it snowed here for the first time in like 6-7 years! Mini-hubby had never seen snow before and was so excited to run, jump, and tumble in it!
    In your picture- is that Grace?

    Melissa- WTG on your hour on the TM! That's awesome!!

    Getting excited about my trip- I leave on Monday morning for El Salvador! Can't WAIT!!!

    Trish ~ Sorry about the run! Is there anyone you know doing the C25k? Maybe a running partner would help? I know how it feels to not accomplish goals, it really sucks! LOL about the pic, that's funny!

    Melissa ~ Nice burn on the TM! Wohoo!!

    Kim ~ YAY!! Glad your bathroom is coming along...we need to start that soon. We'll be moving in the fall...yikes!

    I did it!! I made my goal today, ran 8 miles without stopping!! Took me 93 minutes, but I did it :):) I'm so happy! If I can keep this up, my 7.49 mile race will be a breeze, even with hills! It definitely wasn't my fastest, but it was my longest! It hasn't even been 1 year since I started my running journey (began C25k in March...and I hated it until week 5...so there is hope Trish), now I see how much I absolutely love it! I wasn't in pain, I was in a groove just enjoying my 'me' time!

    No off to a birthday party...glad I burned over 1000 cals, that cake is gonna taste sooo good ;)

    Do you sense the jealousy about the massage? What an awesome date/valentine's gift! Don't worry about blowing calories, I'm sure it was totally worth it!!

    Holy Moly Katie! 8 MILES without stopping?! You just showed that 8 miles who's boss!!!!! Awesome! You definitely deserve some cake after all that!

    Way to go on your run, Katie! I can only presently aspire to do as well, but hope to soon.

    The baby in the picture from the race is not Grace. I am standing with some friends from church. The baby is the granddaughter of the one with the headband to my left. Grace was safe and warm at home with her daddy at the time :)

    And I don't hate C25K. I've always wanted to run. I just get frustrated that I am too tired to run anymore at about 16 mins in.

    P.S. No one to really run with, but you gals in spirit.

    YAY! I found another one. This must be from the start of the race because I only ran with them to the stop light on the corner, then got left in their dust. They are also friends from church.

    P.S. We are all running, but it looks like I'm walking. The illusion of no hands can do that, LOL. It was 20 degrees out, and I had no gloves, so I pulled my hands inside my hoodie & they were fine. Stayed there the whole race

    hi all! we're back!! sorry i'm not gonna read thru the whole week but i glanced and saw lots of successes--and steps in the right direction! yay mommas!

    welcome to the new ladies too!

    our trip was pretty enjoyable--did many fun things and my mil cooked most nts but bedtime was a bear every night. and my kids are beyond LOUD all the live long day!

    glad to be back in my home, cuz it's easier for me here, but really enjoyed scottsdale. it's so much prettier there than here in vegas.
    glad i took the trip. not trippin with those 3 again for a LONG time. 1 more week at home for track break--which means cleaning, decluttering, teaching division and fractions, and maybe a fun outing here or there. :)

    chk ya tomorrow!

    **edit** did that sound too complainy?? didn't mean to! i didn't want to be bragging abt all the good stuff (i feel bratty) and felt i should be honest abt the bad parts....seriously warped i know. here's my thinking--so many ppl rt now are having a hard time financially and here i am on a week vacation on outings etc staying at my mil's. like who am i to deserve this princess trtment? make sense? anyway--

    Happy Valentines, ladies! Just a reminder that "Exercise gives us endorphines. Endorphines make us happy. Happy people don't kill their husbands!"
    Enjoy your sweetie today. I am going to make bagels for mine, and I finally put my Milky Way Midnight in my food diary for consumption! Chocolate on Valentines... it only took me 2 weeks to eat it.

    Happy Valentine's Day right back atcha! It's my fave holiday cuz i love hearts and all the pink, red and white. :heart: :love:

    (and h-ween is my least fave, in case you were wondering)
    didn't make bagels for my sweetie--but sent him off with a smile just the same :devil: (tmi, i know). he's working today.

    so what are y'all doing today? crafting/baking with kids? going for a walk with your best loved ones? i'm hoping to either do leslie or kenpo today. def something! and some "schooling" and crafting.

    Welcome back STacy. Don't feel bad about enjoying yourself and being blessed to have some fun during your time off. I hope you all have a great time. Good luck w/ those fractions and division lol! We're doing long division too and I'm glad to have a vacation from it this week. In addition to my 8 yo daughter I homeschool our cousin (also 8 ) and their friend who is 9. These girls are challenging my teaching ability w/ multiplication and long division! Our little "school" is called TLC Academy (The Love of Christ Academy) and I'm glad that I decided to take February break this week because the teacher needs a little TLC :tongue:

    Happy Valentines Day everyone! :heart: :heart: We had a wonderful morning at church and in about an hour I get to enjoy dinner and a movie with my sweet valentine:love: ! He proposed to me on Valentines Day weekend 12 years ago...my how time flies. Can't make it to the gym on Sundays so I saved 600 calories from yesterday. I don't know if that's legit but it will make me feel a little better about indulging at dinner tonight:laugh:

    I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with love!:heart::heart:

    So for dinner we made Pizza from scratch. For various reasons, I ended up making a pineapple pizza. It's probably my absolute favorite when we used to order Za. The pizza I made tonight tastes just like Pizza Hut (favorite chain)! I'M IN LOVE! What a treat. I used Sargento reduced sodium mozzarella, Dole pineapple tidbits, the walmart brand pizza sauce, and my usual pizza dough recipe. AMAZING! I really don't have to order pizza ever again, which is GREAT, cuz we were at the grocery store last night and Pizza Hut smelled INCREDIBLE right next door.
    My pizza tonight was 731 cals for 3 BIG slices (out of 8 total on a 12" rectangular Za), and 734 sodium. MUST make room for the leftovers soon!
    If I could find some low sodium canadian bacon/ham, I'd be in HEAVEN!

    Hope you all had a fabulous Sweetheart's Day. We are celebrating by going out to dinner tomorrow to Texas Roadhouse, YUM! I've already decided I want to try something new-- the Smothered Chicken.
    Andy said he will go to rec center with me in the morning (he has the holiday off), so I will have motivation to earn my dinner, KWIM?

    it's a journey--not just a cliche. it really is the kind of thing you take day by day. some days work great and others--well....
    i'm making 2 official weigh in days to keep myself on track. Mondays and Fridays. Mondays will help me focus on keeping in line on wknds and Fridays to see how my regular week goes.
    hope changing your weigh in brings you more confidence in achieving your goals!
