Another rough start to the day, Thursdays tend to be difficult. The girls had swim practice last night and then didn't get to bed on time. Then the youngest proceeded to curtain call until I threatened to spank her little butt and put her dolly on top of the freezer for a whole week. Seriously after 10:00pm I'm not a very nice mommy.

Went a little over calories yesterday, but I walked with a friend for 75 min and then put in another 40 minutes at the gym waiting for the oldest to finish up in the pool. Unfortunately for me, some of that overage was caused by a gingerbread incident after school. I did manage to put the brakes on after about 5 pieces (with icing no less) and kept dinner light and added the extra workout to make up for it.

Haha! Of course I love my dysfunctional, problem eating family! When the holidays ended, so did my break from financial reports, admissions meetings and other various paperwork. Looking at about 6-8 more hours again today (and I still won't be caught up. )

Joanna. My sympathies on the car problem, I had two weeks of costly and frustrating repairs which did not fix the problem, used the AA guys almost every other day and then threw the towel in and went out shopping for a nearly new car and bingo 4 hrs later it was mine. I had been looking around and online half heatedly for months, funny how not being mobile and being stuck at the side of the road for ages can focus the mind and stop the dithering about.

Complaint to blessing: I was aggravated last night because GD's boss neglected for the third time to call to tell her business was slow and to not come in to work. He didn't tell her until I was almost back home (1/2 mile from my front door) so I used 18 miles worth of gas and time for nothing. BUT it was at 5PM so I didn't have to do any night driving (which I hate) and got the whole evening off driving duties.

Oh man, mh, are you a Clemson fan? I watched part of the game, cheering for WVU under orders from my mother since they live in Morgantown, WV and she used to work for the university. That was crazy! Either WVU was crazy on fire, or Clemson forgot to show up to the game...

mhibdon, good job yesterday. So sorry your back is hurting so badly. Big gentle hug to ya!

Mike, that was nice of you to take your friends some gumbo. I'm not surprised to read that he hasn't been to the gym since you quit going late with him as it sounded to me like he was using you for a crutch. Golly I hope the soreness goes away for you and your new exercise buddy, though. Whoa! Very GREEN report yesterday including being almost 7 pounds down!!! Congrats on the two policies as well! Hey, wasn't taking the gumbo an act of kindness? Maybe not random, but close enough to call it green, isn't it?

Cassie! Major kudos on the 18.8% body fat! Great report again yesterday! Aw, I see you didn't sleep well again. I had a wonderful sleep last night. Woke three times for potty trips, but fell right back to sleep. I was so tickled to awaken at about 12:45AM and it felt like I had slept for hours when it had only been a little over an hour. Then I woke up 45 minutes early, totally refreshed, and just stayed in bed enjoying the warmth and comfort until the alarm went off.

Main80, hi! Enjoy your extended holidays, but get your butt up here on the wagon ASAP! I'm exercising!

Pam, you had a great report again. When your target is 42% carbs, 40% is really darned close, especially with only 1357 calories and a goal of 1600. Well done!

fit4luv, congrats on being down 1.82 pounds! Aw, you still did great on your goals despite that starchy veggie. They're completely taboo for me, but I can enjoy cooked and mashed cauliflower or broccoli with a little shredded cheese. It tastes like I'm cheating with mashed potatoes but I'm not. You are very welcome for info the info on my eating lifestyle--it works for ME, but we are all different. I hope you easily find what works best for you. Be sure, though, before you go on any meds, to look into the possible side effects first and be sure you are willing to accept those risks. Even if you do wind up needing meds, following a diet that can help may at least put you on a smaller dosage of the meds. Big hug and best wishes to you. P.S. We are an awfully yacky group--don't worry about keeping up with all the posts--it's very difficult.

Darlene, I love your pretty avatar! Oh, and I congratulate you on a truly spectacular Wednesday report!

Lizzie, I love the "video" of you starting your new exercise program. LOL

Amy, wow, you had a great report yesterday, too! And you did a fabulous job making up for the gingerbread with icing. Congrats to ya! Oh, I feel for you with youngest DD last night. I couldn't help but chuckle over your saying after 10PM you're not a very nice Mommy. This morning my 7 year old grandchild again refused to help getting his breakfast by simply getting out his dishes, making his toast, and pouring his juice or milk. I didn't raise my voice--simply told him he'd be punishing HIMSELF if he didn't mind. I gave him five minutes and told him I would not begin fixing his breakfast until he was in the kitchen helping. After four minutes of refusing, he finally got down on his hands and knees and proceeded to crawl to the kitchen with his head down on the floor. He wasn't there when the five minutes was up, so I told him he'd have to just microwave some frozen pancakes because he used up my breakfast preparation time by refusing to mind. I proceeded to pack his lunch while telling him how to microwave the pancakes, told him to stand on a chair to reach the pancake syrup and drinking glass to pour his milk or juice in. Certainly wasn't the most nutritious breakfast but maybe he'll think twice tomorrow.

Mern, actually it was totally random. I didn't even think to count it. I guess that I should have. BTW I like being a little sore, that's a friendly reminder that I got in a good workout.
