We are in Paris. Family vacation of a lifetime - never even dreamed of coming and here we are. I think my husband and I are truly aware of the fact that there is only so many school vacations left to travel with our teenagers before they go off to college...(they are juniors in HS).... Trying to not totally completely go…

Way to go! @goingforahundred You are motivating!

So I think I may have got the exercise in -lol We are on vacation - it's .6 miles from the hotel to public transportation. At the Eiffel Tower we thought we bought tickets for the escalator to the summit elevator. Ah nope bought the wrong tickets - so we did the stairs - Lots of stairs. Lots - I huffed and puffed, but I…

She has a great response to that question/delimna under the Q/A section. I'm not good at copying and pasting - maybe someone else can :) (feel like a hunting hound dog trying to point out which direction to look - lol)

Anyone have fun plans for the Valentine weekend?

Can't believe I haven't said "hello team" yet today and now I'm in my pjs - lol. One of those busy insane level days.

I did get my snow day - sooooo grateful! I'm getting a lot done. The district I work in got lake effect snow - some areas 18 inches others 37 inches. Where I live just 20 miles away - maybe six inches - lake effect bands are always interesting to me.

Does anyone else type a long thing and then only a little bit of it posts? What am I doing wrong?

I do that

Sounds good to me!

I need more hours in the day please - lol There's a chance, just a chance, that I could have a snow day tomorrow - have my fingers crossed - I need a day to simply catch up.

Great answer RedVelvette - this is good info to have - suggestion: maybe repost your answer under week 2 so possibly everyone sees it.

Had a nice surprise today. Worked at school till 5pm, home to pick something up, errand, by the time I'm at the grocery store - hungry. Open up the veggie chips on the drive home.....was afraud to look at the calories - 30 veggie chips - brand good health - 140 calories. Nice surprise - felt like I indulged without it…

P.S. I think every mom has a "oh no, laundry story" and all of our kids survive - lol Thanks for the smile - brought memories back when my guys were littler.

500 a day is ALOT! I'm definitely going to try to up my points this week 2 - but those bonus exercise points will be a challenge.

I think we are all off to a fine start for week one. @ttaylortulsa - I think it's amazing to maintaining when you have visitors. Maintaining and not gaining will be my hope week 3 when we have a school vacation here. @betsym3 - I hope you are feeling better. @vazquezmom7 - you are inspiring - you have some how managed to…

Good Morning! Last day of week one. Transferred info from mfp to the spreadsheet - interesting

Betsym3 - sorry to hear you were not feeling well. Tomorrow morning I'm going to be on a mission to figure out the spreadsheet

Goingforahundred - I love the tortilla story - sounds like something my guys would do. Vazquezmom7 - weekends are easier for me to get the water and exercise goals in, but a lot more temptations - especially when I'm baking.

I WILL TO THIS TODAY! LOL. Determined to make up for the apple pie late last night GGGggggrrrrr. Have a great Thursday everyone.

Vazquezmom7 - oh your question made me laugh. TemptationS - bread (really good bread), sweets, and nuts - yup - long list. One of my issues is I love to cook and bake for my teenagers.

Hi Shea, I played with bringing up the spreadsheet - so cool how you created tabs for each of us. I'm not very techno savvy - do I request permission to edit here in this thread - or do I somehow have to request permission from that site - if that's the case - throw me a clue how to do that - thanks!

Good Morning! Aiming to do more than yesterday. Yesterday was a good day, but determined to drink more water today. Wishing everyone a good start to the day!

Shea - thanks so much for being team leader. I haven't had a chance to look at the link you sent yet - but I will. Thanks! Hope everyone is off to a great start! Janna

I would be extremely appreciative if someone else would like to do it.

Ok Lady in Red - looks like you need a teammate. Red is a great color - I like the description of "stimulates energy" - I can always use more energy :). Looking forward to this.
