Hi ladies & Mike sound like you are all having productive days today.
I guess I fall into the slacker category today I did 45 min of aerobics and couple loads of laundry then slipped into comfy clothes and started playing a video game. I took out pork chops for hubby to barbeque and have been avoiding the phone I think if someone said lets go out I would ruin my week not feeling the will power to say no today.

Cassie, great job on the hike today. I just got back from a 4 mile walk with Chloe'.

Darlene, that's not slacking, that's just unwinding.

Been snacking, had some wheat thins, some chips and pepper jelly dip. Didn't weight or count anything. I'll have to guess when I end up logging my food.

Where is everyone?

I'm here. My legs and feet protest when I try to get up .

I'm trying to figure out what to have for a snack; need protein and 5 more grams of fiber for today.

I'm probably overthinking it .

Apple and peanut butter

Thanks, that would be a good choice; I have about 200 cals left. I just had some pistachios as well.

I saw a new commercial today. Completely empty room, nothing in the background; two school chairs in it facing each other. A very overweight woman comes in and sits down in one of the chairs, and an overweight boy, probably about 10, sits in the one facing her. He says, "Mom, why am I fat?" The two of them just look at each other and the picture fades. There's a public-service notice for an agency I didn't catch, but it is apparently part of Georgia's efforts against childhood obesity...and goodness knows we need it here.

I guess the first step is awareness.

I think childhood obesity is bad everywhere.

Mike: I put on makeup and re-did my hair for BF last night, as well as put on a nicer button-down shirt. We ended up hunkering down on the couch and watching football, but it still counts!!

Cassie: Your hike sounds fantastic; makes me wish I could convince anyone to go with me around here. No one seems to be the "outdoorsy" type.

Mary: Nice job at ribfest!!!

I will say it again - the Zumba Flat Abs SUCKS. Last night I started to get some annoying back pain (muscular, I could feel the tight muscles). Had BF rub it out enough so that I could sleep, but I woke up this morning with it all tightened up again. I'm certain it's because I had to work to keep my balance yesterday - I probably just tightened everything right up.

I want to do my cardio today - after checking in right now, I'm going to do some lower back stretches and keep doing them all day, see if I can't get my back to loosen up. I do have to work for a few hours today (mostly because I have to drive crippled grad student to and from the lab) so hopefully it will ease up as the day goes on and I can work out this afternoon when I get home. I do intend to look nice for work, though!

Maybe I can cross-stitch this evening -- depends on what BF wants to do.

One more day!
