Hello chicks! We got 6 inches of snow last night! We're snowed in here. We're going outside as a family to go play in the snow, and then a little later we're going to go for a walk in the snow (higher resistance = more cals burned!) around the neighborhood as a family. Trish - Whoo hoo!!! I'm so excited for you! Welcome…

Hello Sixers! We're going as a family to go play in the snow, and then take a walk through the neighborhood! :happy:

It's snowing here!! They're calling for 4 inches which means that for us, we're snowed in tomorrow. That's great news for the kids, and great news for my living room! It will finally be put back together since dh won't be able to come up with an excuse . . . at least, not a good one! :wink: Finally got back on my exercise…

Hello all! It's snowing here!! The kids are going to have so much fun in the morning! They're calling for about 4 inches. That's a lot for here! Trish - Cute clothes! Good luck on the run tomorrow! I know you'll do great! I'm so impressed that you are able to do this in such a short time! It would take me much longer. You…

Welcome Kim!! :flowerforyou: You definitely won't be going through this alone. That's what we're here for! This is a wonderful group of women who really understand how difficult it can be to balance losing weight/taking some important "me" time with being there for the kids. Stacey - (((hugs))) I'm glad to hear you're…

Welcome cvtga!! :flowerforyou: This is a great group of ladies who completely understand the frustrations and joys of parenthood. We do talk about our weight loss and exercise, but we also talk about other issues regarding parenting, life, etc. As Trish said, feel free to chime in whenever you feel like it! Whoo hoo!!!…

Hi ladies! Kim - I can understand projects taking a long time. I know you're excited about this one getting close to completion! I made all but one of my goals today. I drank all 9 cups of water, logged everything I ate, and ate fewer calories than yesterday. I only ate 915 over today! Things were too busy this evening to…

Nicole - Have fun at the Science museum tomorrow! Those are always a lot of fun! I went to McDonald's this morning (yeah, not good), but instead of ordering the 2 breakfast burrito meal, I just ordered the 2 breakfast burritos w/ my coffee (sugar free nonfat vanilla latte). I ate around 9:30 as usual, but today, It's past…

Stacey, thank you for the encouragement! I realized my goal of walking to pick up the kids won't work today since Samantha has piano lesson right after school. My treadmill isn't in place yet (hopefully tonight), but I can finally do my exercise DVD in the living room (lots of extra space in there at the moment! :wink: ).…

Wow! Trish, those words are powerful!!! Jr - It does sound like the babysitting is stressing you out too much. Snacks for your own children can be expensive enough. And it would be one thing if they were paying you, but that is costing you way too much financially and mentally. I babysat my bff's dd. She paid me because…

Good morning Sixers!! Kel - How was level 3 Shred? I belong to Netflix & found it on there, so I'm going to check it out there for free before buying it. I don't want to buy another DVD that I won't use. Cathy - I hope your dh is feeling better. Amy lou - Congrats on the job!! That's great! Alison - I love MinuteClinic!…

Well, it's after midnight here, so I'm going to keep this short. DH didn't get to Lowes for the new feet for the couches, so the living room isn't back together. He e-mailed me earlier today that he was going to look at an HDTV he found cheap on Craigslist for our bedroom. We only have 1 TV in the house. He got the tv, so…

Good morning sixers!! I made my goals yesterday! But I did learn one valuable lesson (of which I will probably have to re-learn at some point knowing me! :wink: ) I logged all my food and learned that I shouldn't eat Mexican and pizza in the same day. I was 1400 cals over! But that was one day, and that wasn't one of my…

Good morning! How is everyone this morning? Trish - Are you feeling well now? Nicole - How was Kyle's concert? Kim - How is the bathroom floor going? I was going nuts over the living room being somewhat out of commission for almost 2 weeks. I can't imagine a bathroom being out of commission for 4 months! Stacey & Melissa -…

Hello ladies! I'm still here! I've been keeping up with the posts, but I haven't had a chance to reply to any until now. I'm so excited! It's been a good day!! It started off with me hopping on the scale this morning and it registering 157.8. I was a little disappointed thinking I'd maintained this week. Then I logged in…

Whoo hoo!!! Kel, that's fantastic!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Well, no trim pieces on the floor yet. It was raining all day yesterday, so they couldn't get the trim pieces. They would need to be cut outside since our garage & our neighbor's garage were both too full to do the cutting inside. DH said he's going to see about getting them done tonight after work. I know his track…

It always amazes me how many times the sermon will speak to me. I'll never forget one Sunday many years ago when we were trying to have a baby but weren't successful, I went to church particularly upset about it. The statement that was made several times during church was that everything is in God's time and his time is…

Whoo hoo!!! The floor is done!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: We still need to put in the trim pieces, but DH said he should be able to get those in tomorrow. I hope so! I tried to put a pic of the floor in this post, but I can't figure out how to do it. I've put pics in my profile. It looks much better in person. I…

Whoo hoo!! The floor is done except the trim pieces!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: DH said he should get the trim pieces done tomorrow . . . hopefully he will. I tried to put a picture of it in this post, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I'm putting a couple pics in my profile. It looks even better…

Trish - I want to have dinner at your house! You always make such delicious sounding meals! And from scratch! :flowerforyou: My idea of fixing ravioli is getting out the can opener. :laugh: And great job on all your running! Nicole - How is the paper coming? Stacey - Thank you for reminding me that I need to take things…

Hello! I didn't make my 9 cups of water goal yesterday, but I did get in 5. Over half way is better than I had been doing the past week, and today is another day! :smile: I have the same 9 cup goal today. I should be able to make it. I've only had 2 so far today, but at this time yesterday, I only had one. Amy(pdx) -…

Hello ladies! I had to yell at myself this morning. I realize that since the floor isn't in yet, and I have all this extra work at the moment, that I won't be able to exercise for a while. But does that mean that I don't need to watch what I eat or drink my water?! NO! Well, you can guess what I've been doing since not…

Good morning Sixers! Welcome Amy S! :flowerforyou: Lauryn - Yay on the Pop Tart! That took a lot of will power to stop at one! :flowerforyou: The morning is off to a pretty good start. Getting lots of work done. Until we get the living room floor done and until I get all my work info entered into my new computer, I don't…

I hope everyone has had a great day! We're getting closer on the floor. We're going to patch the nail holes tomorrow afternoon. We were going to patch them tonight, but we were just too tired to deal with it tonight. Our neighbor who has his own carpentry/handyman business is coming in on Friday to help. Between DH &…

Good afternoon ladies! I'm still here! I've been MIA for several days while trying to update my new computer. I'm still in the process of re-entering data and re-creating documents, but I'm making great headway. The weight hanging over my head has gotten smaller now! :happy: That weight is self-inflicted. I have several…

I like Sixers Valentine Vixens too! My goals for today: 72 oz water (have almost 16 in now, so I need to start chugging! :drinker: ) No more than 500 over my cals If I get any exercise in today that would be great, but I'm not expecting to. I'm working from home today (gotta love laptops!) with a sick child. Samantha…
