No More Excuses -- Week 15

Great job everyone!!!! We are the bomb!!!! Nice going Galina!!!! Send the snow my way...maybe it would help me!!

Jack...Thanks for the chart. It looks great!

Congrats to all the losers this week, especially you Galina. You rock!

Once again I would like to give a woot for everyone who is still here and still trying our best. My progress has been very slow but I know I can do this. If it takes me the rest of this year and the one after that, I am going to get to my goal and stay there. Thanks for being such a supportive team. G'night.:yawn:

Good Morning Everyone!!!! I am up and ready to go this morning and I will finish today eating great and drinking all my water and try to get in some exercise.

Good morning team... We finally got our science fair project done last night at 10:30 and then I typed til 12:30 so once again I'm pooped. One of my son's friends lives with his father who doesn't take very much care as far as school work goes. He came over last night and had not started anything for his project, which is 2 science test grades, so I bought him some supplies and helped him get his project together. I let him use our "back-up" project for my son. We did two just in case one flopped. I have a hard time watching other kids go without if I can help. I think I need about a 36 hour day to get it all done. Oh well. I try every day to stop and be thankful that I have a job (actually 2) and can provide for my family because I know so many are out of work and don't have that blessing, but some days are just a little too much. Hubby is doing much better. We go for his first follow up today. My oldest had to order his class ring today to the tune of $475, which made me really glad I have 2 jobs:laugh:

Renae...I'm sorry you are feeling bad. Rest and take it easy. Hopefully you will feel better soon:flowerforyou:

Laura...Good for you. Way to keep a positive attitude. I will drink more water today with you. That is my biggest weakness. I love to drink tea. I changed to Splenda a long time ago but I still love my tea.

What an inspirational story. Thank goodness there are mom's like you looking out for others!!! Way to go! You are a GREAT MOM!!!!

I know the feeling on the class rings.....Aren't they rediculous!!! Each year they keep going up and up and up!!!

OK team...I just did Turbo Jam 20 minute workout and I have come to one conclusion. I have the rhythm of a rock. I spent a good bit of my workout just trying to figure out how she turned her legs when she did this move or how she was turning when she did that move, etc... I hope it gets better as I do it more. I can't imagine that watching the TV in total confusion burned too many calories :laugh:

Hello everyone, my day is off to a great start. The past 2 days have not been good for me, but today I am going to make sure I go all day and not go over on my calories. I need to get back the determination that I had when I first started this thing on January 1, 2009. I want this more than any thing on earth, and I know what to do. I just keep messing up. I need to stay focused.

Good Thursday morning team...I didn't exercise yesterday but am heading to the gym as soon as I finish typing this morning. I am taking my youngest son to the circus tonight. My oldest son doesn't want to go and hubby isn't up to sitting that long yet without his knee hurting. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Yeah yeah yeah. I am not sure how, if it was drinking 2 cups of green tea every day, or if i was just that much heavier last week because of tom, but I weighed in today at 161.8 - lost 3.4lbs. I knew it was going to be a good weighin - last night after big steak supper i weighed myself - and i weighed less then i did last friday.

The key now is will it stay off. We have a big party weekend this weekend (Winter Festival), I am taking the kids to my Mom's today, so the DH and I will be kidless. But I do still have this silly headcold, so not sure how much I will enjoy the evening festivities.

I haven't been working out as much, Mom and Wed to step aerobics, then Tues and Thurs took the kids for a walk in jogging stroller around the town for 30 mins.

Sorry i have been MIA.....I am still in Denver with my friend and her family. Will go start packing things up today.

I have been having internet issues here at her house and hope it hangs on until I get this sent. Have a great day and week end. Ths is not a good calorie time but am trying to be smart in my food choices.

Will check in again when I get home tomorrow afternoon!


See ya
Ann

Made it home this afternoon before the bigger storm hits us. Sure am glad. It wasn't fun driving as everything was sloppy and messy. Not icy thank goodness. I am not looking forward to the weigh in tomorrow....just saying!!!!! This week has been tough to eat right. Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully the week will be free from "emergencies" that through glitches in my food plan!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful evening. Sitting here with the hubby in front of a great fire and watching Jeopordy until the olympics come back on!!!!

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.

Morning All, Well after 3 days of partying, eating junk, and lazying around, it is time to get back to the real world.

Today is back to exercising and eating well. Going to go to Melville and pick up the kids after lunch, and then have step aerobics this evening. I am bringing home subway for supper. Still have a cold, but now it seems to be a bit in my chest and my throat. Was hoping to also get on treadmill today, but will do that tomorrow. Plan to shampoo livingroom and hallway carpet, and scrub kitchen floor before going to get the kids (1.25 hours away). Still have lots of books and such to do, so this week is going to be a busy week.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.
