    Andrew- Thanks for the challenge!

    Richie- Congrats on the new grandbaby!

    Roni- Thanks for sharing your story. I'm so proud of you for opening up to us, and for overcoming! You are amazing!

    Tammy- Glad you had fun at the circus.

    Jeannie- Getting back to basics is a great idea, hopefully it's just what you need.

    Marla- I'm so happy for your good news. No matter the motive, I'm glad your sweet MIL is getting some good news and company. I hope she finds more happiness living there with him.

    Sam- Good luck...YOU GOT THIS.

    Jan- I'm totally signing that petition. On one hand, it's nice to see so there are no "surprises"...but all the crap it brings along with it is just wrong.

    Tanya- Glad you're having a good day!

    Tamara- You can so do it; how exciting! Have a great day with your family!

    Just came in from 6 miles with the group...I am really enjoying this training with them. I get my solo time in when we're all at our own paces, but it's really nice to have that push when I need it. Relaxing the rest of today and then another 10 tomorrow. Oy.

    Did a 50 minute dance DVD sent to me by our lovely Jeannie, today-- thanks so much, Jeannie. It was a ton of fun, and I got a good workout in-- then followed up with 8 minute abs/arms.

    Went out for date night with the Mr.-- Mexican, which was lovely. Ordered wisely, and enjoyed.

    Have a great day tomorrow, my friends--

Glad you had some good Mexican ...food I hope....Ok I am done........I get fajitas with little grease........I was amazed the waitress knew what I meant, then got it right! WOOT!

    I have been reading each day and then applying myself more. I have always said this is not about losing weight, but being healthier-and I meant it!!

    I realized during the past few weeks I have stopped doing the things that make me feel healthy. (other than the taking stairs-which Kati always comes to mind and I just cant push the elevator button :laugh:)

    So this week I have walked to the store, danced a few times aday, did step ups on the chair when I got something out of the cabs for dinner, stretched each time I lie in my bed (and the couch as it were last night, much to Patrick's chagrin :wink:)

    Today I am going to the gym for 45 minutes. That is my goal and if I go beyond...then I do, if not then I have my 45 in for today.

    Good luck team! Take time out for YOU today!! muah!:love:

    Oh man....no rice, beans or sour cream??:sad: :sad:

    I am going to try the shrimp next time. I always have a tablespoon of sour cream and guac so I dont feel left out. but pass on the chips. Our place got in WW tortillas so I eat 2 of them when we go.

    There is an actual break in the weather..33 degrees and nothing falling from the sky. :wink: Jim looks content to just sit in front of the television, so looks like it's me today. I'll report back in later.

    Good Sunday morning team...I'm up on my weight today, hopefully it is TOM and will be back down next week or so. It was a beautiful weekend in SC, sunny and 60 degrees. Still can't get out hiking or any outdoor activities while DH is recovering from knee surgery but soon (fingers crossed). I went thrift store shopping yesterday with step-mom and out to lunch. It was great to get out of the house and I found some nice bargains and a beautiful old rocking chair. Hope you are all well. I got my exercise done this morning and still made it to church on time, which is a small miracle in itself. Gotta type today so better get with it. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

    Hi Everyone,

    My 10K is in 5 weeks. I'm a little nervous since I haven't run an organized 10K in 3 years, but I will just go with the flow. Did I mention there are hills YIKES. Andrew's challenge has truly helped me stay focused. Had mother daughter time with my 6 year old and took her out to lunch and shopping. I was able to resit Chili's offerings of "fattening" food and opted for the soup on the lighter menu.HOORAY

    Oh and I had a melt down last night. I'm turning 35 this year and realized that is half of 70. WHAT...I really don't want to spend my life worrying about weight issues. Diet God's if your out there HELP ME. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    As always Black Team thanks for listening:heart:

    :smile: I am back to my quiet home . Pheobe Joy is my new grandaughters name. She weighed 8pounds 10- ounces. They went to a rural hospital and had a midwife. The baby was born in the bathtub, I was watching the 4 and 2 year old at their house. My daughter inlaw is sore of course but she was glad that she did not have to take any medication and the hypnotherapy classes helped. Such a calm women and very brave. I fell off the no sugar thing..........nerves I guess the stuff was within reach and I ate way too much!:blushing: Oh well............we will see how much damage I did on Wed.

    Thanks everyone for your kind notes.......I might not have binged if I had checked in with you guys more often:heart: Richie
