Hi! Sorry so late - I don't know if anyone will see this. I can't believe I made it thru the whole challenge, then missed the final weigh-in! I learned that I need to give something up if I'm ever going to win this weight loss battle. I haven't quite figured out what that will be (sleep, kids activities, hours at work?)...…

Hi All! I don't know about you - but my office has been a mine field!!! Boxes of chocolates, "Towers" of treats, birthday cakes... ugh! I've been having tons of headaches & upset stomachs (gee, I wonder why?). So, tomorrow I will be avoiding all the JUNK like the plague - since it makes me feel that way. I think I'll be…

Holy macaroni!!!! That's amazing!! :) So so happy for you :)

Heading to Amazon to order mine now. Fun???? We will have to see!

Hi All. Busy time (isn't it always?). I know to have results on the scale, I need to make some life changes, or things will stay as they are. The tough part is, none of it is an easy fix. I'm sure we are all in the same boat! Many hugs to all, Amy :0)

Hi - staying the same @ 196 this week. Amy

Hello fabulous ones! Sounds like we are in the same boat - super busy - and along with that comes some stress! I wanted to share that anyone with money troubles - I read the BEST book that helped me finally realize how to budget & handle money : The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey I am much more of a "fiction" type…

My goal for December is to be consistent, but not perfect. Keep tracking food intake - keep exercising on a regular basis. Continue to make myself a priority! :) Steph - Irish blessing sent your way :)

Hi ! I hope everyone is doing well. I finally snapped out of whatever funk I was in & today (for the first time in a long time) logged all my food intake & my workouts! (and I went to the YMCA!) Thank you all for your patience as I worked thru all the life chaos! Hugs, Amy
-
So funny that this is today's question! I got out a December Calendar today & planned out workouts for the rest of the month. On tap for today is elliptical/treadmill/rowing machine, a few laps on the indoor track & some leg presses. And - I actually did it all!!

Oooh! Love this question! A celtic cross for sure - there is a stone/carving of a cross on the outside of a church near the Staten Island Ferry that is exactly the design I would want. The why? I'm super Irish, I have a very strong faith, the old historical significance of the knots & designs.... plus I've been working on…

Hi all! Thanks for the good thoughts & support. I'm hanging in weight-loss/temporary maintenance wise :) gmomlyn - enjoy those grandbabies this weekend - sounds BUSY! We will be heading to my in-laws later next week. Since it will be a bit quieter there (aka - no house to clean & distractions) - I'm going to try to focus…

Stephanie - thanks for the support! Hugs right back :) Jreese - great work getting back on track!!!

This is not perfectly healthy, but a great alternative meal: Rhodes Frozen dinner rolls (the uncooked dough balls) (spray cookie sheet w/olive oil or the like) Let the dough balls thaw & rise (about 1-2 hours) Stretch out as you rotate clockwise (like a mini-pizza dough) Top with your favorite pizza toppings Bake in 350…

Hi all! My youngest sister had her baby yesterday (it was stressful awaiting my nephew's arrival, b/c w/her last delivery, she hemorrhaged to the point of a priest, surgery & multiple blood transfusions). I am happy to say Mommy & baby are both doing great! Also yesterday, we got the test results back on my other new…

Hi all! Sorry to be late getting to our threat this week.

Sorry this is so late! 2 kids home sick today :( Plus my brain is a bit scrambled as my youngest sis is getting induced in the AM for her baby - and my other sis gets the results of baby boy twin's genetic testing tomorrow. A wee bit stressed! So, I am 193 (I was 193.3 last week) - so not much change - but better than a…

Scarlettdawn - congratulations!!!!!! So very happy for you :) gmomlyn - how lucky your kids are to have you caring for their kids! We have spent a small fortune on childcare costs - I would love to be home with the kids, but it's not a goal my hubby shared - so I was fortunate that I have been able to work part-time.…

So Exciting!!!

When stressed - it seems it shows - my eating & working out gets out of whack, and the house gets untidy. (which makes me more stressed!)...
-
Some cute jeans!!!

Keep us posted!!! I have not been good about logging food/exercise - but although not logging, things in that department have improved. I think that will be my goal for next week - to get back to tracking again. Best wishes for a wondrous weekend! Hugs, Amy

Hi All! Hope everyone is having a great day. I guess all our special tickers & stuff were hogging up too much server space (or sometimes they can carry viruses in with them)... ah well. I'm glad my ticker is almost back to the 20#'s gone mark! Hugs to all, Amy

Hi All. Down 1.1 this week. Struggles - balancing work/kids activities/budget with workout time. I haven't been doing great at this lately, as I am pulled in many directions helping my sisters out with their new/impending arrivals - but soon life will get back to a better routine .
