    Hey Mommas!

    I have a request that I'd like to put out there to the group that is in no way related to weight loss but is simply from one mom to another...

    I just got some very sad news about a friend's 8 week old baby girl that is sick. She's in the hospital and the doctors are not sure what is wrong and whether or not she will survive. The family is asking for positive thoughts/prayers to be sent their way. I'm not an overly religious person but I do belive in the power of positive thinking so I'd like to ask that if you are willing take a moment and send a mental "get well soon" to baby Madeline.

    I hope this request doesn't offend anyone. But as mother I know if I were in Madeline's mom's shoes I'd ask for every spec of positivity I could find. So I'm asking everyone I know to join in.

    Thanks and much love,
    Lynda

    Will definitely be thinking of her and her family.. and you too! There are excellent care facilities in Wpg-- hopefully they have some answers soon.

    I'm making my goal 15 miles for the week-- a lot of my cardio is walking, and I have a ton of WATP dvd's so I'm thinking that's just enough to push me. I'm not counting my gazelle miles in that though.. it's more "gliding" and doesn't use my muscles the same way.

    I get one point for yesterday-- I logged my exercise cals!! ( all gazelle time.. in the AM before the kids were up!! I was so proud..) Lol.. going to try to do both the strength things today to catch up, but my abs might just give out. WIsh me luck!! :laugh:

    Thanks You Ladies for all the well wishes!!! Things aren't as bad as seemed (sis in-laws Mom was scaried and over reacted a bit with the details. Not that I blame her, this is her only child)
    Sis in-law is still in the hospital, it is not HELLP syndrome, they don't know what is going on, should know more later today. All they do know is that her liver enzyme levels were through the roof, if normal is 50, she was at 90, and if normal protein is 300 she was at 711. Both levels have come down, but not with-in normal levels. The only thing we are pretty sure about at this point is that she will probably not go full term, hopefully she'll make it to 36 weeks.

    On a positive note, at this point there seems to be no stress on the baby and we know that she's having a little BOY!!!

    thank goodness the situation is improving! congratulations on the upcoming nephew :smile:

    My unique qualities...hummm had to think about this. At first I was going to say that I am creative, since I love to sew, and not to brag but I'm pretty good at it. I'm also a good cook, which is also creative, but not what I would consider UNIQUE. So, for unique qualities I would have to say I'm deteminded and resourceful.
    Now, as for how do I use these qualities to help others........? I'll get back to you on that.

    What about nuts? They are great to put on salad and they quickly raise calorie intake.

    As well as adding nuts ( I love cashews), I've started drinking a protein shake to help increase my calories and protein. I know you only eat fruits and veggies, not sure if whey would work with that, maybe a soy protein powder? I have heard of a protein powder made from chick peas, don't know what its called though (not much help).

    Hey girls! Just an fyi: Caleb is very sick so I may not be on much for the next few days. I'll keep track of my points and add them as I can but my little monkey man is taking pretty much all of my attention right now.

    Also I got a note from Amy that she is computer-less and on the verge of a sinus-related-hostile-takeover so she won't be on much either but will log on when she is able.

    Talk soon!

    Yes I love cashews too (thats one of my weak points also, I dont have control over cashews).. Protein shake- I did go through the counters in walgreens and walmart, but didnt like any.. I dont have a supplement store closeby, will try to go in the weekend.. will definitely look at the above

    I got mine at Sam's Club......Pure Protein plus, about $19. It has a good amount of protein, low carbs and not too high in sugars. Tastes really good, too.

    I have really been working my butt off this week, looking for a big number on wednesday...I just feel like i've gotten myself into a rut and im doing everything I can to get out of it.

    Heres my recipe...kinda!
    I dont really make anything that we bring along on trips, exactly. I just throw cheerios, raisins, dark chocolate chips and chopped up nature valley granola bars and slivered almonds into ziplock bags. Im always buying these kinds of things along with dehydrated fruits because they are low in calories, healthy and really keep your energy up when you are on the go! Not quite sure of the exact nutritional count because im personally not a snacker but its really keeps my little guy happy!

    Hi Ladies,
    It was my day off today. This morning I rode the bike to the grocery store with my little guy in tow to get something to make for lunch, that was a fun workout, I have been trying to ride my bike to the grocery store everyday. For lunch I made BLT's with Turkey bacon and it was really good! Then I had to go to the biggest town near us, 45 min away and do some errans. I got home and I was tired but then decide to take my dog for a jog we went for 30min and it felt great! So for exercise and food today, I would say a pretty good day!

    Week Goal 10 miles / 5.5 miles complete! Yay!
    Wednesday- 1.5 miles
    Thursday- 2 Miles
    Friday- 2.5 Miles

    3 points today- Strength, intervals, spreadsheet entry
