Love it. My kids now love to do all the fun runs so they can race like mommy. My oldest is starting to try and ride her bike so she can do a triathlon, and she joined the running club at her elementary school. It makes me happy to see them growing up more active than I was.

Laura - glad you got the extra sleep! Our bodies need that rest sometimes.

So far, upping my calories has helped. I am no longer feeling tempted to binge on food because I'm so hungry, so in general my eating habit are improving. Yesterday my youngest managed to stomp on my foot and bend my injured toe back...so now it hurts again. I've resigned myself to the fact that the next time I will actually run will be after I recover from my hysterectomy. I do stare wistfully at my road bike every time I pull out of the garage.

Running a bunch of errands and such this morning. But fulling intend on a quiet evening at home tonight. Cooking dinner and such and then relaxing with my kiddos.

Have a great day everyone!

Thank you all for the nice words about my good bloodwork. I can’t wait to take that info to my doc.

Great threadstarter! My tot always wants to come to “exercise class” when I go to Pilates.

Maura, hope that you had a good run yesterday.

Happy birthday, mini-Sherry!

DterMined, you certainly jumped back in with both feet and your weight loss is very impressive (*)

Valma, absolutely you needed those cals. I will say that I’m a high-volume eater. I’d rather have popcorn than almonds. Sounds like a nice Friday night to me.

Laura, I think your trainer really is trying to kill you! I think you work out more in a week than I do in a month. No wonder you needed your zzzs!

Yesterday was one of those days when I sat down at my desk and looked up to find hours had gone by. I didn’t get my steps in. But I made up for it this morning with a SUPER INTENSE workout with my trainer! I did 30mins on the elliptical followed by an hour of upper body and abs.

Last night/this am my hubs came upstairs at 2:30am and woke me up. My alarm was set for 4:15 and I was so annoyed I couldn’t go back to sleep. I *may* have woke him up at 3 to communicate my displeasure. Suffice it to say I am sofa king tired today—I can’t stop yawning.

Eating this week was not perfect but MUCH better than last week. Also last week our WW leader brought up the idea of a splurge meal once per week. I decided that mine would be on Friday night so I’ve been looking forward to it over the week. And I think it’s kept me from having a little something here and there. Challenge will be not gorging so I’m going to have veggies/salad FIRST. So I’m exhausted but at least it’s pizza night

Happy Friday everyone! Here’s to a healthy weekend!
