    Oh, yuck! I hope you feel much better today! The sickness has been running through my house the past 4 days & so far, I'm yet to be touched. My kids, on the other hand...*gag*

    How many calories do you thinking falling down half a flight of stairs burns? OMG, that hurt!

    Good morning!

    Theresa...glad you are feeling better!

    Sara...hope the kiddos are feeling better soon! Falling down the stairs!!!! Hope you are okay!:flowerforyou:

    Yesterday was a rest day here, too. Unfortunately, I do believe I'm starting to get what my DH just had. UGH! We'll see how I feel later, but I'm doing something today.

    Have a great day all!

    You guys have made me want to pull out the Lysol!!! Get better!!

    Hope you all feel better! My daughter was sick last week - knock on wood so far everyone else is ok.

    Still holding at 1 pound for this challenge. Worked out hard last night. I actually ran 1/3 of my 25 minutes (running in shifts) on the treadmill and pushed myself up to 6.1 MPH for 1 of the minutes! When I first started 4.5 was a run for me...also did elliptical for 30 minutes - with 2 minutes backwards - OUCH - try it if you haven't...then did leg presses, bicycle crunches, arm pulls, held plank pose.....I was wiped out! I usually do Rowing machine too but I was getting dizzy - not sure why but figured I should chill out.

    My body loves to play games with me - I'll be down 2 then next day back up one then over the next week it goes away with 1 or 2 more gone then same cycle - it's weird but I've come to only count my Wednesday morning weigh ins so that I am hopefully consistent. I hate the scale but still find myself with the need to weigh daily. It makes me accountable to know where I am each day so that's ok. I am not going crazy when I see a fluctuation - I am pushing forward.

    Happy Tuesday, I wish it were Friday (PAY DAY!)

    Morning Troops! :heart:

    Sorry to hear about the sickness & owies. :frown: Hope everyone is feeling better. :flowerforyou:

    Got a 4-mile run in this morning, it's starting to get lighter earlier in the morning now so didn't have to run the path in total darkness! :drinker: C'mon springtime! :smokin:

    I'll step on the scale as soon as I feel like I can handle the news from this weekend's eating/drinking debauchery. :bigsmile:

    Kick some Irish butt, people! :drinker:

    I'm alive and kicking today!! Did some work on my arms yesterday and also some crunches and other exercises! Cannot wait for it to warm up tomorrow so I can go for a nice long walk! It is so hard to get cardio in when you're stuck inside a house. If I try dancing I trip over my son or his toys that he throws in my path so that is hard to do lol!! But, I';m happy and ready to lose some fat by St. Pats!!
    Hope everyone gets to feeling better, and your kids feel better, and hubbys feel better!!!

    So far today I've done, well, nothing.. and that leftover piece of pizza and cookie I had at lunch, wow, i'm kicking myself for it now! I'm still a few hundred calories under my limit though, I just wish I could have found something healthier to eat.

    I'm going to do a workout video here in a few minutes, and probably play on my wii fit for a while.. so at least that's something..
