    My weekend was really good! No indulgences and I even started a weight training program. Figure I'll do an upper workout one day, a lower another and then the third will be rest or cardio depending. This gives me 2 days of rest in between each body part which I need. My arm muscles are still hurting a bit since Saturday! LOL I guess I was just really out of shape! It's been a while since I worked out with weights. Forgot how much I love it!

    Did my meditation! I usually do anyway so it was an easier challenge for me! I used to say about myself "I can sit on the floor of an empty room and be amused - do you think I need meds?" LOL Now I am grateful that I can feel such peace in such siimplicity and quiet.

    Not sure if I want to weigh in tomorrow but I will. Best of luck to all of you for reaching your goals and even if you didn't (like me I'm sure) at least we stuck with it!

    Thank you, GBOH for starting and running this group. Looking forward to Easter!

    I forgot to check in on this site, but I reached the lower goal...I lost 5 pounds by Valentine's Day, and now 8 pounds total! I turn 52 at the end of the month and my new goal is to lose at least 5 more pounds-- I want to be below 199 by my birthday.

    March 29: 199 or less
    April 24 (Easter): 190 or less

    During Lent I am committing myself to exercise 5 out of 7 days for at least 30 minutes (ideally, 1 hour), Not eating at any restaurant that has a "drive-through" lane (not even in a hurry!), drinking at least 90 ounces of water each day, and Bringing my lunch 4 out of 5 days. (March 9-April 23, 2011) (The water will be the hard part!)

    "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me!" Phil. 4:13
