Black Team week 13!!!!!!!!!!

Go US!

I had a good day today. When I finished working, my hubby and I took our youngest to the lake to kayak for a while. It was so nice to get back out in the warm sun on the water. My son broke his paddle so I had to use it in two pieces to get back to the landing but I made it. I'm sure my arms got a good workout. My stomach is a little sick tonight so I had a light supper. Too bad I can't get in that habit! Hope you all have a good evening. See you tomorrow.

Batman...Thanks for the challenge. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

tag for later

Tag for later. So sleepy. Night my friends.

Hmmmm-- then again, this may not work.

Just tried some wall pushups-- wrist is killing me.

Morning all,

Pushups will try, but back and hip are still playing up, saying that I will try.

The schools finished here yesterday and for some reason I have decided to toilet train my littlest man - wish me luck! 7am and 1 accident already, 3 yesterday and we only started at lunchtime!!! Will check back later, x

Tag for later..

Thinking I may only burn 500 calories this morning...Dont need to feel sick today if I dont eat enough..Am taking me a peanut butter sandwich since its gonna be so hot outside...Well off to the gym I go..everyone have a lovely day...and oh push up challange...maybe I can do this one...Can we do it girlie way?? Or am I just being a wimp???

Donna - its sunny here today but cold. At the moment I think that the 2 year old is winning, he hasn't gone to the toilet on his own at all yet today, and we have lots and lots of washing where he keeps wetting and the goes to toilet!!! Not sure how much more mummy can take, have just taken him to the supermarket and let him choose his own pants but even that was a battle urgh!!!!!!!!!

Tamara - its not a good thing to make yourself feel sick through not eating enough - my problem is actually the opposite at the mo, needing to exercise so that I can keep up with the eating! I am so hungry!!

you can do it Mummy!

Good morning everyone!

Andrew-- Thanks for the chart, and the challenge (I think:laugh: ) Im going to have to try and go with wall push ups for this one. A month or so ago when Lori and I had our own little challenge going with push ups and pull ups I ended up at the Dr for my wrist. Turned out that I have a ganglion (sp) cyst and it gets aggravated pretty easily and flares up. So will see how that goes

Tammy-- Wow! I would love to try kayaking! Not sure there is anywhere around here to do that though? Hope your tummy feels better today!:flowerforyou:

Beth-- Hi! Hope your feeling well:flowerforyou:

Leslie, Lori & Lori-- Hi!!:happy:

Marla-- Im with you on the wall push ups. We'll see how they go:ohwell:

Tanya-- Good luck with the potty training! Boy, I remember those days and they arent fond memories:laugh:

Donna-- Happy April Fool's Day! You had me going for a minute there...20 miles....Geesh!!:laugh:

Sorry I was MIA on the boards yesterday. It was just a busy, busy day so all I managed to do was report my weight and log my food and exercise. (Didnt mean to keep you hanging Marla )

Well big news Part 1: Marla guessed it, I lost 7.6 lbs this weigh in! That is just unheard of for me lately, I havent had a 1 week loss that big since...ever!:laugh: But since I refused to move my ticker last week when I had that 2+ pound gain, it only reported as a 5 lb loss on the boards lol.

Big news Part 2: My very first love (we're talking my teenage years folks) found me on facebook a couple weeks ago and we have been talking on the phone basically nonstop since then. We were actually engaged back then, but he joined the Navy and was shipped out to sea and we drifted apart as teenagers do I suppose. It has been amazing talking to him again and I swear I have felt like a teenager again!:laugh: We had run into each other once after he joined the Navy, but he was with someone else by then and I was married to my first husband then. But we had one of those things (as I guess all first loves do?) where the years never changed the feelings. So....today is the last day of school for Alex and he is on spring break til the 12th. Come Monday, Mom is taking a road rip!:happy: I finally made the decision (after tossing it back and forth in a bundle of nerves:laugh: ) to go visit my family this weekend and see my first love again!! I'm getting more and more nervous with each day that brings me closer to Monday lol. But I am not going to chicken out. I am going to see him.

Oh, and in case your wondering...I'm not married anymore. I have been divorced from Alex's dad for almost 12 years and havent been on a date in all that time!:ohwell:

Ok, the news is out. It's official. There's no backing out now:laugh:

Thanks, Tanya!:flowerforyou:

Roni,
All of that is really big news! That is so great to hear. I can almost feel the butterflies in my stomach for you! I love that feeling! There is something about that first...no matter how they ended there is always something special. I know it will go well for the two of you. Congrats on the big weight loss...I bet it feels great!

Roni ...Woot Woot , you go girl ! Have fun and enjoy your road trip.

Tanya..I remember those days well, don't envy you at all.

Thanks for the challenge Batman !

Marla - Hugs my friend. Wish there was something more I can besides pray for you and your family.

Roni - Congrats on your loss. Prayers for the melanoma spot to be removed cleanly. And, have a wonderful time on your road trip. Can't wait to hear how it goes.

Tanya - Ugh, potty training.

Marla...((Hugs))

Thanks, everyone-- just surrounding myself with the kids today and trying to stay busy.

Whoever asked about Peeps-- they simply said corporate sponsorship of an athlete is something they've never done, and don't believe they'd do well, so they don't wish to try. Whaddyagonnado?

All the eggs over the years have been put in the golf basket-- employment searching has been done halfheartedly because of the "what if" of corporate sponsorship coming in requiring travel and caddying for Sarah-- I can't honestly say I was in favor of it all this time. So, I'm really trying to stay away from the "I told you so" now. What's happening is what I predicted, and it freaks me out, pisses me off, devastates me-- you name it.

Having said that, this is usually the way the Lord has dealt with us-- he rushes in at the last minute, ala Israelites at the Red Sea, and delivers us. He just leaves us (me) to freak out and try to trust. Years past, it was easy. The older I get, the more **** I go through, the less able I am to simply "let go and let God--" it's old.

However-- not much choice have I, eh? So, stop the sniveling and I guess is all I can do. We can't control the hand we're dealt, so we play with what we have.

Beautiful day here in Jersey-- high school students are on spring break until next Wednesday. (??) Not getting the schedule the school is on-- spring break from Thursday to Wednesday? Whatever?

Aaron has his first golf match with the high school team. We'll see what happens.

Later--
