I am thankful that my american friend is going to the doctors on monday - why to go Marla. I am not in a good place today folks, woke up at 6am with a weird feeling in my tummy and up until 2 hours ago (12hours later), I have had a really bad upset tummy. I took the day off from childminding today - that was alot of phone…

Evening all, I am thankful that I more or less kept up to date with my accounts through the last year..... 3 hours down tonight and I have my accounts ready to take to the accountant to be verified. I have just got my nearly teeanger (13 next saturday) to make me a Vodka, Lime and Soda - a little strong on the lime but…

Morning all, I am thankful that the Hong Kong health service got my hubby back on his feet last night!!! He got stung by a wasp and ended up at the hospital for an anti histamine shot and then they kept him there until his blood pressure settled! Marla - good luck with the painting, planting etc. Also a massive good luck…

Morning all, Another week starts, and I am thankful that it means that it is getting closer to Rob coming home. My little mindees mum is ill today, so get to do the school run with out the extra little one and I will go and collect her oncemy friend arives as I have to also collect a 2 seater sofa for Thomas's room - to…

Happy Mothers Day my friends. I am thankful that I have a friend who loves me enough to send me away for a day at the spa. Thankful that my in-laws would babysit so that I could have my day out, and so thankful for the massage that as Thomas has so kindly said has made me smell weird :laugh: Had a lovely day today, and…

Morning all, I am grateful that it is saturday. Poor Thomas has been up and down all night being sick, and I really don't want anyone else in the house to get it. So was anti-bacing his room at 1am. I am now very tired, but will try to lay down with my little men after lunch. I am so hopeing that I don't get Tom's bug, as…

Good morning and belated happy birthday donna. I am thankful for the nice walk to school this morning, that my little mindee was late so I could get the majority of the school done with little chris in the buggy - so much easier :laugh:

I will have to agree with Beth, I am thankful for my boys - because no matter how much I complain about them I wouldn't be without them. Thanks for this challenge Marla, :smile:

Congratulations Roni :heart: :flowerforyou:

Morning all, Well my men are all off of school today - the 3 little ones schools are closed due to voteing, and the eldest had an upset tum! Also have no extra little ones today, so will tryto spend some quality time with my little men around finding time to vote! Haven't been on the bike yet, but I am going to walk the…

Hello all, Beth - you look so good, and happy. I hope you enjoy this pregnancy xx Marla and Lori - I love reading your posts they make me think I am there, and I also believe that my children will go to school unless they have d or v, or otherwise can't move. Sorry that I haven't been around much, little Chris is under the…

Double post - sorry

Lori - I would say yes go for the gate to gae run. Kati - I am so amazed that most of the ladies on this thread 'run', and to do it timed for me is amazing. The last time I ran (apart from chasing the boys) was at school in either the cross country or the 1500m - I hated running with a passion, always visualised myself as…

Marla and Tamara - you are both in my thoughts, xx Shuntae - way to go, well done Lori - you look sensational, and the picture isn't that bad. My children like taking them of me when I am asleep - lovely!! I have managed to do 65 minutes on the bike today in 2 sessions, and am throughly enjoying it. I ride that bike harder…

jeannie - thank you for explaining. Have a great birthday week, and I hope that you throughly enjoy doing nothing!! :smile: I now have colour in the back garden, walked 3 of the 4 boys to the supermarket today and got some marigolds, petunias, and compost (need to think about what I buy when I walk - not sure how much more…

All confused now - just typed a long good morning etc from the UK, and it has dissppeared (so apologies if something pops up later). Lori fl - rest, relax and have a 'ball' tonight. Don't do anything to ruin your mani :wink: Marla - sounds like you had a busy day, hope that the typing didn't keep you up too late Jeannie -…

Hello all, Well weighed this morning and have managed to lose some and get to 165 instead of 166:laugh: , but now need to exercise alot, as I went out and met my friend that has just had her baby and we had chocolate cheesecake (we shared it so not as bad as it could have been :huh: ). Feeling quite headachey today, so…

Morning all, I inadvertently have the day off today - both of the little ones that I look after are ill so I have taken Christopher to nursery and done some food shopping, and am now browsing the internet and watching some tv with no other noises - bliss. I have managed to do an hours walking today, and will go on the bike…

Morning all, Water I can do, I drink water all the time. No change in my weight this week - get back down to 166 and my body says wooh I'm staying here :devil: , was really hopeing that the watching what I eat better and exercising more would restart the weight lose, but at least I'm not gaining :grumble: Early morning…

I felt really good today - have done 4 differnet sessions on the bike, but feel that I have blown it now as have had some red wine and white bread!! Oh well tomorrow is another day, and I will stay away from the wine!! Good night everyone, a new week tomorrow x

Morning all, Had a funny nights sleep and then the little men came into me at 5.40, so early start.

I am now sitting in absolute peace, as have turned the tv off and have just finished my drink. I am proper tired tonight, so…

You are all so inspiring and make me smile - thank you. Lori - regardless the cake is awesome:smile: , and I will admit that I do not make or buy cakes - my mother in law is a super cook and will make cakes for birthdays that are diary free so that John can have some as well. Marla - I smile everytime I think of your miss…

Morning from the UK, Am aiming to do loads of walking and at least do 20 minutes on the bike today, but Thomas has an awards evening at sea Cadets tonight, so need to get it all done by 7pm! I thought I had alot to fit into my day, but Lori you certainly beat me - good luck with the cake today. I am desperately trying to…

Hello team, I had some compliments today at my youngest sons preschool. They all commented on how good I looked, and when I told them what I was doing exercise wise they were saying things like 'oh, aren't you good', 'I couldn't do that'. This is from mums that all live within walking distance of the school and all drive -…

Go for it Jeannie. I have just started to use the weights in the leanto, focusing mainly on my arms/upper body, as I do alot of walking and use the bike/elliptical. Hopefully this will tone my arms etc, but will see what happens. Have managed to walk to school this morning - 60minutes, and will be walking back later so…

Hey, I'm here. Managed to do 2hours walking and 20 minutes on the bike so far, will try to do some more before bed.
