Lobster, King Crab and clams. plus cheese bread and wine. Today is my cheat day but really?? :sad: 4600mg of sodium.

    I'm in on the 3500 challenge. i just got fabulous new running shoes and was going to start today but then I got some kind of achy, buggy thing.

    Yesterday a friend and I were boasting how we never get sick. We were mocking everyone who got the flu vaccine and were still constantly sniffly. Shouldn't have done it.

    It was arrogant and this is my comeuppance.

    So once I pay this debt to the karma police i'm going to start - Monday seems good.

    Has anyone done any of the podcasts for I-tunes?

    I weigh 169 now..........shooting for 164 by the end of this month!:drinker:

    Welcome Deb and Lula..... and Beth!
    I am in on the 3500 burn and did 533 so are today while doing a couple DVD's here at home. Why didn't we start YESTERDAY when I ran for 2 hours and 15 minutes straight!! I had way over a 1000 burned during my personal half marathon. but Saturday will come again and so I can chalk up more points after i run again.
    So it is EASTER today:flowerforyou: and we are heading out the door soon to go to hubbys sister's house and then to our farm out in the country, for an over nighter so I will not be cooking at all. Hope the food is healthy! All his sisters and their families are coming and bringing food. I know for sure we will be having fish and boiled eggs and a huge potato salad that I just finished making. think I'll go and pop some pop corn because it si my favorite snack and pretty healthy too.:happy: Enjoy the week end... what is left of it. Phyljen:bigsmile:

    Happy Easter all. Lost alittle (.8) this last week. It seams everytime I complain that I must be on a plateau the scale surprises me. Can't complain about that.
    Went to church this morning, went to Easter dinner out. Just Hubby and I so no since preparing a big meal. I'll be doing some cooking later on in the week when my sister and her hubby come over to visit for a week. I'm excited to have them.
    Oh, yes, you wouldn't believe how fast I made it over to the grocery store to buy a package of Peeps. I gave up refined sugars for Lent and these Peeps were peeping me. I ate the whole pkg of 5 (138 cal.) before I got home. And I enjoyed every one of them. Do I feel bad? Not in the least. :laugh:
    Have a great week all.

    Hey everyone! I am back for April! I strayed away from MFP the last few weeks of March because of all my drama with the puppy, but he is finally getting back to his old self again. He is on his last round of meds so hopefully we can get through all of this! I plan on weighing in tmrw morning and I'm hoping I have not gained back any the last few weeks! Congrats to all of the losers in March!!

    Yes, I do love the night time. That's when I can get all my house cleaning done. Dish's, laundry, sweeping, mopping, etc.... All 5 kids sleep all night long now, Thank the dear Lord! :happy:

    How can I figure out the calories that I'm burning? I walked over 4 miles yesterday, pushing all 5 kids in our 6 seater stroller. I was beat by the time I got home, but I have no idea how many calories I burned. :huh:

    How did everyone do this weekend? It was a struggle for me at Easter brunch and I'm hoping I did okay balancing my eating. My weigh in at Weight Watchers is tomorrow but I'll weigh in on Friday as well for this group. I'm taking my first Zumba class tonight and I'm pretty excited!

    I'm a little late in starting the challenge, and new to MFP but I really need the motivation....just finishing a biggest loser challenge in my office and need to continue on my weight loss path! I've lost 33lbs since my son was born almost 10months ago, 10 of those in the last 12 weeks!! 5 lbs this month would be AWESOME!!!
