    Great news Laura, congrats to you and your family.

    I just dropped my daughter off for her first slumber party and my husband is at a football game, I almost don't know what to do with myself.

    Laura, that is wonderful news!!


    I'm having a barbecue at my house tomorrow afternoon and once that's over, I'm FINALLY finished with this insane week. Then Monday I'll be back to the grind, working my butt off.

    Laura, congratulations to your family! That is super exciting! I don't know how old your kids are, but my husband and I were in school until our oldest was 5 and our 3rd was the new baby. It's not easy...you have a lot on your plate and I'm really impressed at how great you are doing staying focused on so many different goals at once!

    Eskimoes for date night blew my calories yesterday, but it was worth it :) Dr appts all day Monday with the kids out of school, so I'll be starting C25K again Tuesday. This is my 3rd attempt...I wimp out with the stroller and the hills, but I can do this. I will not quit!

    Kelly - good luck with C25K! It took 4 attempts for me to get to week 7 (Tues is W7D1)

    No yoga today. I was up at 6:30, spent the day raising money for breast cancer with the NFL and now I am ready for bed.

    Thank you everyone! We are very excited. We ordered rings for everyone with their names on them so the whole family has matching rings symbolizing when we all become one! (legally) We have been one for a long time this just means that the court agrees! The kids are all excited for us all to have the same last name so this will be great.
    I think this weeks weigh in will be good. I have been working really hard on my workouts. Its funny because my kids think the sweat is go grose but to me is means im working my butt off!! I am proud of my sweat!!
    Kelly this will be the time that the C25K works for you! Keep up the great work! My kids have Friday off this week and it will be a busy one for me too!
    LynnMPip what did you do with your free time? Hope you enjoyed it. I bet it was quiet!
    Good night all!

    Sadly - I did laundry with my free time. But went out with the husband once he got home.

    My weigh in was disappointing this week, up 3.5 lbs. I think it was a combination of high salt, not drinking water like I should and I ate really poorly this weekend.

    I did my yoga tonight. It really helped having to be accountable here. I thought about skipping but didn't want to come back here tonight and admit I didn't do it.

    Had a great day. My weight loss this last week was great! I am actually down 10 lbs since I started 4 weeks ago!! I have been stronger this time then I have ever been. Seing the results helps alot and makes me want to stick with it even more.

    LynnMPip things will get better just stick to your guns. How is everyone else doing?

    Thanks - it was disappointing to see. I went down 1% body fat so that made me feel a little better.

    I am leaving Thurs to visit my sister in Mississippi for a long weekend. I am so excited to go.

    I am bringing my yoga video with me - I did another work out today.

    C25K W1D1 was today. The run was good, pretty easy actually. I think I'll go ahead and do it every day and just go easier on the days that are supposed to be off if I feel like I need to. Also, even with skipping workouts (so no extra calories) earlier this week, I managed to stay under my alotted calories. It's getting easier to know what I need to eat and when so that I don't get too hungry or have too many calories. It's exciting!

    Oh yay! Everyone is doing so great!

    We finally got back in town after a one day delay due to a tire blowout in the middle of no where and associated damage. Such a bummer way to end the trip.

    I will get back on before bed. I am glad to be back!

    Kelly- Great job on the C25K start! How was today?
    Michelle- Glad to hear you had a great weekend:) What part of Mexico will you be going to?
    Laura- It sounds like you will have one busy week! Will you even have time to eat? ;)
    Lynn- Have a great time visiting your sister! Enjoy the yoga.
    Ruth- How are you doing? Any fun plans for the weekend?

    Group goal for this week, let's commit to write everything that enters our mouth down. None of those unaccounted for BLT's (bites, licks, and tastes)!

    My personal goal will be with water. 72 ounces per day minimum! I have to flush out the Disneyland junk food:)

    I will post a new week 4 link and send it to each of you. Have a great night!

    Corrie
