    Jeannie, It sounds like you, Sam, Lori and myself are all in the same spot..

    We can do it! We can re-commit and finish what we started!

    Lynnie if we could all just go away together for a 6 week bootcamp, we could come back looking like super models. Oh wait, they cant make you 5'7" tall........well we can look like miniature super models!!

    Morning all!

    Just got in from my run...did 50 minutes and burned 578 cals. I'm pretty tired but it felt great to be out there. We have a 'survival day' party to go to later on, so that should be a lot of fun. Until then, I'm going to relax and put away my laundry. I'm sure I'll be around later, hope everyone has a great day!

    Good morning Good morning!!! I hope you all have a great weekend!

    Jeannie-Can I come away to bootcamp with you all too? I wanna be with ya'll and be a super hot model TOO!!!

    I worked my butt off yesterday, literally, I think with the jumping rope and riding the bicycle. It felt good too! Yesterday I went to Walmart because I needed some more shorts since I only had one pair I could wear to work without my butt hanging out. I was wearing a size 14 BUT I bought a 12! Woohoooo!!! I got into a smaller size! It's a start! And this morning I put on an old pair of pj pants that were tight around the butt and my thighs and they fit perfect now!!! Yay!! I am excited, can ya tell?

    So this is my motivation for the week and it makes me want to kick it up a few notches too! So I am gonna try super hard like you ladies that are wanting to do something big by the 4th of July or whatever date you chose. Let's do this ladies!!!!! I know we can!

    I actually went on a date with my hubby last night for a going away for one of his guys. I even had a beer. Make that 2. I haven't had a drink for a looooong time and it was good. I wore a dress and if I can say so myself, I looked smokin' hot. It was low cut, I had on a good bra, things were where they are supposed to be and my hubby noticed and liked. :blushing: One of the other ladies with us told me that the dress was very flattering. Aw shucks, THANKS! It makes you feel good.

    In my moment of beer induced 'feeling pretty good' wanted dessert or Dairy Queen. We sort of passed on dessert at the German restaurant we were at and luckily Dairy Queen was closed when we drove past, so I came home and ate some watermelon instead. It worked better into my plans of 'I WILL DO THIS'.

    Jeannie, Lynnie, Sam (and all the rest of you)- we can do this. We will do this. Let's get back to where we were when we first started. I planned everything, I measured everything, I logged everything before I ate it. Remember how exciting it was to lose those pounds? Remember how it felt to step on the scale and see it moving? Together I'm sure we can get back there again. I need a kick it back into gear plan. It's on my agenda for this weekend.

    so after all of that eating last night. I got up this am and was back to were I was last week. I ate breakfast and measured and weighed it all. Then we headed to the farmers market (best place ever to get fruits and veggies) very cheap. We got 6 peppers green onions a pineapple garlic bananas and an apple for M all for 6 dollars. I wanted the delish strawberries they had there but hubs said no. We get home and I weigh myself again and it was at were it was 3 weeks ago! :bigsmile: Let's hope with TOMs up coming visit it stays low.:flowerforyou:

    Jeannie I am so for bootcamp!! I need that right now. and me a model I don't think so. not with this jelly belly! :sad: :sad: :laugh: :laugh:

    Lori makes you feel good when you can stay with in your limits. You know that Dairy Queen would have ruined it. You also know that your hubs wouldn't have stopped you. Mine on the other hand always tells me are you sure you need that or your gonna get fat then complain that your fat so don't get it.

    Have a great day everyone! I might be back later! Ok I'm sure I will be!:bigsmile:

    Hello Hello Hello!! Echo echo echo!!!

    Dead in here today!

    I thought today was going to be a bad day but it ended up being pretty darn good. I wanted to get out and rise my bike but it was way to hot by noon. So, I did level 1 of 30 day shred twice. I'm tired now. Both girls are sleeping, The Mets are beating the Yankees and it's raining out! YAY!!:love:

    Good evening ya'll! It has been quiet in here today. Where is everyone hiding out? I laid out in the sun today for about an hour and boy was it hot as he**!! Can't really even tell I got any sun. Then we attempted to take a nap but that was short lived! Our daughter got up before we got laid down long. Then we ate supper and came home and rode our bikes for a little while and then I jumped rope and now we are relaxing watching some movies. Hope you all had a great day!!! And another great one tomorrow!

    Jeannie I love your new AV!!

    Jeannie, post a new pic every day if you want. It's fun to see new ones. I think your new av is adorable.

    Today is the day. I'm going to sit down and make some goals and some promises to myself. Yesterday was..... well.... today I'm going to sit down and make some goals....lol. When I first started this journey I did not slip up, I did not have bad days. I need to dig down deep and find that motivation. It's there. I used it before, I'm sure I still have it.

    ME too!! I started with the exercise and food logging on Friday. I have to do it right then, when I told you guys I would. I even went to the gym on Fri when I was exhausted. Didnt burn a hell of a lot of cals, but it was much more than lying prone in my bed watching re-runs!

    I am going to get my pen and paper right now and make a plan. I am so glad you posted this morning Lori!!

    :glasses: Black team rocks!!
