You big softie Carla - and yes, I would have done exactly the same thing! My kittens are racing around tearing up the place, but I just can't get mad at them. We decided to keep three out of the litter of 5 - my friend had 2. I just couldn't part with them and much as my husband said we needed to, didn't look very hard for homes for them either - I think he is more attached to them than I am! Sounds like you both had busy weekends - major workout for you Carla, and great for you Deanna showing self restraint on the cookies. My weekend was a bit of a downer to be honest. I made stupid choices food wise as I am fed up with not having lost any weight since May, so ended up dumping and going to bed! And I can't believe that as soon as I got up, in my mind I was mentally thinking ok what shall I eat I've tried so hard on this journey to sort my mind out and for the most part I feel like I've done pretty well, but I felt like I was back to square one this weekend wanting to stuff food in my mouth without even tasting it like there is no tomorrow - mindless eating. I don't know what's going on. I really need to reign it in. So this morning it's back to protein shake for breakfast and back to basics for the rest of the day. I'm sooooo frustrated and feel such a failure. I at least wanted to get to a normal bmi, but I've still got about 15 pounds to go, depending on the day. I'll keep plugging away at it, and maybe it will shift eventually

Oh Andi, you are so brave! I took a hip hop class at my gym and it was awful! I felt so clumsy!!! Needless to say, I did not go back!!! I applaud you for doing this ... you are awesome! Deanna

Bet your daughter thinks she has the coolest mom in the world I know I have the coolest friend!

Hello All! So today was try something new day at the gym and my daughter and I chose to take a hip hop class together. I think you have to be under 18 to do that class but i muddled through. My body can't move like that anymore even if i had to beg it! I made it through the class, my daughter had the goofiest grin on her face and told me i was fun to watch, the other parents applauded me, I was the only grown up. I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoy belly dancing, salsa and zumbai so i'll stick with that and maybe bring my daughter to a zumbai class with me this time around. Hugs, ANDI
