Mary girl... so nice to hear your voice and I will be waiting here in L.A for you and your skinny self and we can take bike ride or skate at the beach

okay.. so my other computer is down and I am on my mac... I have a guy in my computer right now trying to fix it. If anyone ever has any problems let me know and I can give you this guy's info. The guy is in L.A but the guy fixing my computer is in Hawaii right now.

Have a good day everyone.. will write more when my computer fixes!!

Happy Birthday Eve! I hope your birthday was great! And I think you're right about God's prompting. I just want to be here for my children whether I'm overly cautious or not you know?

Mary, you sound very motivated and ready to get back to where you were. Good luck and you know I'm here for you. You're weight may say one thing, but I've seen you at this weight, and you carry it very well. You're not only a great mom, but a hot one as well! As the weight comes off, you'll just be a smokin' hot mama!

You've got to love Y's. There will be one built a few miles down the road from my house sometime soon, and you can bet on it Sandy, that I'll be going! Give the kids some time to play w/ others, and we get out stress free exercise time. Congrats on saying no to the pie and good luck on getting into the 160's. You're so close! I started my weight loss at 164, and it does feel good to get to the next "level" of weight so to speak.

Anyway, off to exercise and then get myself ready for an evening out w/ my husband. No beer for me (calories!!!) but I'll break out the diet soda! :O) And then out again tomorrow evening w/ my husband and best friend. This will never happen again! Normally we go out once in a blue moon... But I'll enjoy it while I get it.

Good luck to everyone!

WOW!!! Michael Phelps must be really doing a number on our brains because I was thinking of joining the Y with my mom so that I can swim some laps while someone watches my boys. ( I think it's free)

Mary, Jessica Seinfeld wrote that book, "Deceptively Delicious" which is ways to sneak things in your kids meals!! You probably already have this book but thought I'd put it out there for anyone else who has trouble feeding their kid!

ANyway, I have been having a good couple of days! I went out to dinner at the Beach tonight to meet up with my grilfriend who is here visiting from Hawaii. I had a good dinner but did munch on only a couple of fries. My husband had this HUGE slice of KONA PIE. He thought I was going to share it with him but I said NOPE!!! I was actually down below 172 today and I want to see that scale keep on going down below the 170's!!!

160's here I come.

Have a good one everybody!!

Good call on getting inside, Sophia! I had a similar experience a few months ago when I started running, but I was on a gravel road, and he wasn't delivering newspapers.(I wrote about it in my journal way back in April or May, if you want a little chuckle!) We have that lovley intuition (God's prompting) for a reason!

Mary- good for you and your back on track day! You seem to be doing alot of exercise each day! Maybe if I picked up the pace a little, I could start losing again! BUT-- tomorrow's my birthday, and I'm having a GIANT cheat day! So, it'll be back on track for me on Thursday! Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

Hey All! Just did my run this morning, I cut it short, there was someone delivering newspapers, and call me paranoid, I just didn't want to be out at the same time as him. So just like you did Mary, I'll do laps at the pool today. And yes, eat right. At least there isn't anymore b-day cake left from my daughter's party this weekend! ;O) Anyway, hope this week is good to everyone!

O>k> ladies- where is everyone????? hope everyone is doing ok, i just got off the elliptical, it would of been more than the 30 min. i did do but the puppy had an accident in her kennel, so we had to take a bath and clean the cage ,there was no way i was gonna let that wait, maybe i'll get 45-60 min. in tomorrow. did do a bit of everything yesterday, weights, abs, 15 min. elliptical (all i had time for) then i went back to the gym last night and thought, hmmm i'm gonna swim laps. well i did grow up on a lake and i "swim" w/ the kids from time to time (which means i hold them and play w/ them) anyway i could only do 10 mins. of laps. i'll definitely have to start doing them more to work myself up, so i can do a mini-triathlon when hannah's in kindergarten.
anyway, i'm off for the day, i've gotta make muffins w/ squash in them. (my 3 yr. old hard eats veggies very , and yes sophia we do force him, but that's only so fun for so long.) so if i can sneak them in w/out him knowing hmmm i think i'm on to something.
have a great one ladies and gents!
God Bless-
