Tori, if you're coming down gor Mardi Gras, you might as well sign up for the Rock n Roll Mardi Gras 1/2 marathon. Friday and Saturday was a disaster for me too. I have a feeling that the next 2 weeks will be a struggle.

I don't have any major plans this week, party wise, until Christmas Eve....so knock on wood, it'll be better than this past weekend. And after that I'm free until New Years Eve. I was invited to a party by a former coworker, and she said there would be single men there LOL! So, I'm gonna get my party on that night, especially seeing as how I'm off New Year's Day

Mike, I was looking at the info for the Rock N Roll Marathon and 1/2 Marathon and they're not during Mardi Gras. It's actually March 4th. I was kind of excited at first because they have a 1/2 marathon 2 person relay, which I know I'd be able to handle LOL! Now I'm interested in seeing what's around home. Geez, thanks!!!

Really? That's one plunge I've never taken. It's just me and the cat....
Oh, if I could stay that long I would. Now I'm even wondering if I'm going to get to come for Mardi Gras.....long story.
Wow, I'm inspiring?? That's pretty cool! Check back in the morning, the new week's motivational thread will start tomorrow. That's when most of us post our goals for the week, and then try to keep each updated on how the week is going. This week was pretty much a bust for me, but that's what is great about Mondays...you get to forget what went wrong the prior week and focus on the week to come. Welcome aboard!
You all look at it ALL wrong. All that means is that you would just have to stay longer. That would give you time to party for Mardi Gras (Mardi Gras ends on Mardi Gras night, February 21st), time to recover before doing the race. Yes their is a relay. I've been trying to talk Amy, Quinn, Cassie and the others to come do it. Maybe you can talk one of them into being your relay partner... assuming you could stay damn for that long. The relay is also split into uneven parts. Like 8 and 5 or something like that. If you or anyone decides to sign up, let me know and I'll locate a coupon code.

EPIC FAIL! 
I need to get on here over the weekends. I’m fairly sure that was a downfall when I was on here earlier this year. I’m going to say I achieved my calorie intake on Saturday because by dinner as we were driving home from dropping my son at his granny’s, I realized I’d had all of about two pieces of toast and an orange all day, so we stopped in and got McDonalds - and I may have had a cider or two when we got home. That would have put me right in my target. Weekend was crazy busy and I didn’t get my exercise in – by the time I got fifty seconds to myself, I was foo-barted and said, ‘I’ll do extra tomorrow’ . . .
Mike – beautiful pictures! What a lovely city you live in. Lucky duck!
And I'm happy to hear your brother's surgery went well and he's recovering nicely.
Tori – those blankets are the perfect idea for kids who have it all. Beautiful job! My niece calls me, ‘Arrrrn-tee Binnnn-dee’.
Sorry I haven’t caught up with anyone else. Running a little short on time, today.
My sad outcome for last week (though I did well on my personal goals!):
Fitness:
30 minutes of cardio exercise 5 days: Y, Y, N, Y, N, N
Keep calorie count between 1200 and 1500 N, 978; N, 1081, didn’t log, N, 1112, -, -
Personal:
Play a board/console game with my 9yo every day to prove I haven’t forgotten my oldest baby. Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, he wasn’t home, he wasn’t home
Be more calm – my sleeplessness shouldn’t be anyone else’s problem but my own. Y, close call, but Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y
