However -- so far I have finished the squat kicks, swimmers presses (I did butterflies) and woodchops, plus another 100 jacks.…

On average I walk 5 times a week for a mile and run 2/week for a mile each, totally 7 miles a week (plus any extra I could squeeze in!!) With school starting Monday it will be really hard to even do my regular exercise, much less add anything (it's always hectic with meetings and parent conferences the first month back!)…

Weigh-in today: 186.2, a loss of 1.2. Not what I'd hoped for (Friday I was at 185.6...) but I was heavy on the sodium and out of routine the last two days and it's showing. Guess all that water weight will just disappear for next week :laugh:

Thanks Teresa!!! I'm looking forward to being pampered and spoiled :laugh: Of course, with 5 of the 6 kids home today, it probably won't be too relaxing!!! But FUN??? Oh, yeah!!
