Name~ Start Weight/ Goal Weight/ Current Weight/ total weeks Loss or gain amount




Name- Start BMI/ Current BMI/ total loss or gain this week.

So I weighed in this morning and Im showing a 1lb gain.
Not freaking out. TOM has been horrible this week and still isnt over with, not to mention this was a bad week for scheduling in my exercise. I got some in, but not as much as I usually do. Good eating week tho, so we'll see what happens when TOM is over with.

As for the exercise, theres always today and I definitely am going to the gym. Doing arms & Elliptical because my legs are sore from yesterdays long wog to the gym.

The 3 babies are happy & lazy and noisy when I touch them. This is a good sign. LOL Momma has decided it is safe to leave them in thier box while I am in the room so she can go 2 feet to her food dish and water. I have her liter box close too and only she has access to it. Charlie doesnt need it.. he uses the human toilet. LOL I'll try to get a better pic of thier cute little faces. They kinda look like 2 baby bengal tigers and 1 white tiger in the face. Sooo adorable!

Cyndee- That is exactly what I plan to tell her. To keep working hard at it if it is something she really wants. She is a pretty determined kiddo tho, so Im sure she will be fine. I think the reason she is upset is because she worked pretty hard this year. Trained alot over the winter and before track started. Didnt take much time off from training after Cross Country ended in October, but she didnt overdo it. She went to regionals as a Freshman for the 800 meter, so she has had the experience of going and I think thats why she wanted to go so bad again. She is a junior this year, so she always has next year to look forward to. Ive always told "just do your best". She gets psyched out pretty easily by her coach and her dad telling her what she's going to do and what she's not, but shes getting better at listening to me and just giving it her all instead. :laugh: This is why I try to make it to every last one of her races! The part that stinks is that as a runner, you can have a really good season and do awesome at all the races, but districts is a 1 shot deal and if you have an off day and dont come in in the top 3, you dont go to Regionals. She is more of a distance runner than a sprinter, so her events in track this year were the 2 mile and the mile. Cross country starts around the end of August, and that is her true sport. She runs 3-5 miles every day during CC and her races are 3.2- 3.6 miles. Same meal deal as track for districts being the deciding race to go to regionals but it is also a TEAM thing, not just an individual event. Thier WHOLE team went to regionals this year for CC and she had 2 college scouts there watching her run. Both of them offered her scholarships but 1 of the schools has a really BAD running team (as in she would kick butt, but it would be too easy!) so she's already took them off the list of possibilities and keeping her options open since she still has another year. Smart cookie!


Nita- Little spray bottles work wonders for those little stalkers. LOL They also work to keep them off counters and out of houseplants. Set it on the "mist" setting and give them a little squirt when they do something you dont want them to do. They will get the idea pretty fast and will get to know that bottle well! Also, dont get them in the habit of sleeping with you, you will regret it later.. LOL... just like babies! Wear them out for a good hour before bed... a lazer toy or a string with a button on the end, even a paper bag can be a load of fun for them and entertaining for you! I saw a good lazer toy at petco last week for $5. If they really dig it you can prolly keep them playing off and on thro the day when your home and they will sleep good at night.. :laugh:
