    Thanks Kristi and nitag, I really appreciate it! Losing weight is the best! :laugh:

    Yep Yep Kristi, my dad quit playing with Alison when I was little, so he could stay at home and help my mom raise my sisters and I. Now, we push him all the time to play music(which he does!). I'm very proud to say that my father is the ONLY member of Union Station who has quit, not been fired! LOL

    I had a friend of mine tell me about a barbecue chicken breast recipe that she uses, and it sounds pretty yummy, so thought I'd share.

    Mix 1 C ketchup with 1 can Diet Coke
    Put chicken breasts in a large skillet with this mixture
    Once it begins to simmer, cover and simmer for 30 minutes
    Remove the lid so the sauce will thicken and simmer for 15 minutes longer

    I don't know, sounds pretty good to me! Might try it tonight

    I feel waterlogged! Dragged myself to the pool and finished the laps with the extra 8. Guess the exercise bug has bit me - I don't stop until I'm done my goal for the day.

    Wonderful to hear Kole is doing better! :love: He IS a fighter.

    Olympic swimmer?? Wow.Thanks for the tips.

    Off to make chicken supper.

    Hey all! Today was pretty good. Got up this morning and my internet wasnt working, again, so I ate breakfast and decided to jet to the gym before I changed my mind.. LOL I was tired from water aerobics last night but told myself "nope! you are going before you talk yourself out of it!" I usually take Thursday off, but I cant go Saturday so Im trading the days. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical, then walked on the treadmill. Got a cramp in the bottom of my foot and it kinds twinged a bit so I cut my treadmill time to 15 minutes instead of 30. It ached and I didnt want to hurt myself and not be able to go tomorrow.

    My kids had a half day today so we cleaned out closets. Yay! alot of crap going bye bye!! LOL Also.. my daughter had a track meet today and her back is feeling much better, so I went to watch her. She ran the 1 mile in 5:39 seconds and came in 1st place, then ran the 800 meter in 2:30 seconds and came in 2nd place. It was so much fun to watch and cheer her on! :happy:

    Anywho... Im around. Not doing much of anything else the rest of the day.

    Evening team,

    Good to hear about Kole, Anita. My thoughts are with your family.

    Good job dwray on the loss!

    Nice on the swimming healthymom!

    Li4g- good attitude:smile: , I do not have to battle with myself about the gym or a run anymore, except when it is really windy outside on a run day! Congrats for your daughter, I was in track in Grade. 12, but then my injury happened during training....and screwed that up:frown: OH well!!!!

    Today was a pretty good day for me, just an an easier run of 3 miles. I am still eating my dinner of Kohlrabi saute (yummm), and some kale salad (also yummm!). Well off to do some school work for yoga, talk to you guys later!

    I normally dont have to battle myself either, but I had a hard workout day yesterday. 1 hour of cardio, 1 hour of water aerobics and 15 minutes of lap swim. I slept like a baby last night and this morning when I got up.. it was definitely a motrin day. Once it kicked in I was able to convince myself to go. I knew I would feel better knowing I got it done. :laugh:

    Oh... also thought I would mention that last night when I was talking to hubby (Morgolis) on the phone he said he has dropped some weight and now his pants are too big! Just thought I would share that with you guys cuz I am pretty excited for him. :happy:

    I managed to sqweeze myself into a pair of Levi's that I havent been able to even think of buttoning in the last 2 years. Wore them all day today. They are even a little loose around the caboose which is really strange! I dont remember them fitting this way.. :laugh:

    Nothing is EVER loose in the caboose for me! The waist, yes. The tush, no.

    Just thought I'd pop in to say hi. Another crazy week is almost done, yay!

    I fell yesterday in step class, and I'm ok but a little sore. I walked around the lake with a friend today and it was a nice break from the gym routine. Probably the only non-rain day we are going to have for the week, so it felt good to be outside!

    Have a great evening, all!

    Hey everyone, how are you? I had a pretty productive day at work, which is nice, and I didn't have to stay there so late, so even better. Good day for eating, too.

    Oh, I tried fage! Very good! The exercise is an interesting issue for me. I feel pretty good about it, and then I see what you all are doing and I think, "gosh, I am hardly moving!" I know its foolish to compare what I can do with what you all do, but for some reason, that thought creeps in pretty often. I'm working on it! :frown:

    Well, tomorrow is the day we see if I am officially on a plateau, or just resting. Take care all!!

    Hot cocoa & Chocolate milk are staples in my daily menu.. LOL! I use sugar free nesquick and it doesnt taste sugar free at all. Its the only way I can manage to actually drink milk and tastes great as cocoa too. Its a nightly ritual for me, especially if we eat dinner early and I need something later to satisfy me before bed. Its always in my daily cals. :drinker:

    PS. Milk does a body good :laugh: especially with chocolate in it!
