    Okay I just signed up but I have found that challenges really help me stay motivated so although I am late I will join in! I am a social worker at a hospital with a very busy floor, have a husband who has battled cancer, and a going on 6 year old and 15 month old. So my life is busy and stressful but now is a time I really want to lose this weight for GOOD. I am also in a wedding this coming summer- so more inspiration!

    This just hasn't been a good week. Exercise is nowhere to be seen. I'm not eating all that badly. The week brought a wedding, Flyers game, and to top it off my house was robbed. The Playstation which I use for my exercise DVD's is gone. I'm wiping the dust off a crappy DVD player today and tomorrow I'll get some exercise in. Good luck everyone. I need to get back on track again.

    oh no alison! i am sorry your house was robbed. we had that happen to us last year after coming home from a funeral. we had been gone for 10 days and the night we arrived home, we were robbed. it is scary to think that we were in the house and we didn't hear a thing! i hope the police will be able to recover your goods.

    I weigh in twice a week, Wed and Sat, which is why my sig says a lower weight than that... I weighed less on Saturday. lol. Just the shifting of the tides, I guess... heh. Hopefully a downward shift next week :)

    Not in the right direction. I actually worked out before work on Monday and Tuesday. It felt great. Wasn't able to get up this morning as I was up late last night doing homework. Maybe I can get to it tonight after dinner with my parents.

    Good job this week everyone and good luck for the upcoming week!

    I'm glad we weren't home when whoever came. Though they probably wouldn't have robbed the house at that point. I have to sleep with the tv on so now we keep the bedroom door open. This way I can actually hear what's going on outside the room.

    Thanks.
    Atleast you're walking. It's better than nothing. Keep pushing and it'll get easier.

    So sorry aabout your home being robbed. Hopefully you will be able to shake of some of the erieness...

    This morning was a hoot over on my side of the world. On the way to work a friendly truck decided they wanted to be in my lane right where i was :(. Thus i had to swerve into the next lane and the car decided to spin out in the middle of the four lane highway. Luckly no one was hurt and:)) But the worst part of it was the truck who caused the whole thing just kept driving....

    Ugh
