The "30 day challenge" ends next week and Karla and I want to continue the thread. My question is do you want to start a NEW challenge with new goals and a time limit or do you just want to do a daily thread. Personally, I work best if I have a specific goal to work towards but I will go with what everyone wants to do. If you want it to continue, please post and let us know what you'd like to do. We would love it if some new people would jump on board as well. The more people that participate the better.
EDIT: Ok let's come up with a name...it will start in Feb and end in March..."March into Spring"? Come on, I'm not very creative, help!!

Mel, I never dump so I thought, "what the heck, it's low fat, a few ounces won't hurt", WRONG!! I was SOOO sleepy and definately don't have to worry about constipation this week, lol!!

Good morning everyone. I'm at work and so far no one's in labor so I have time to play on the 'puter. I'm so relieved that my Mother is OK and will be headed to Texas with my sister this morning. Next weekend we are headed to Conroe and will bring her back to Dallas with us. She hasn't been here in 4 years. Don't know how long she'll stay with us, probably a week. Hope she's ready for a house filled with 4 dogs and 2 cats.
Had my pre-op eye appt yesterday and everything is ready for my surgery Tuesday. But later, the hospital called me and said I needed to pay $1500 on the day of surgery, NOT!! I told them I'd gotten approved for a gap exemption and it was only a $500 deductible so they're checking on it. If it's $1500, I'll be cancelling my surgery. They better hurry and get it figured out as the surgery is scheduled for Tuesday.
Well, I spoke to soon...just had a patient walk in, better go...

Karla, I was running late this morning and didn't get a chance to log in before work Thanks for starting the thread.
I'm actually tied for my all time lowest again this morning~157.4 lbs which makes for a -4.8 loss so far. Unfortunately I'm thinking it has more to do with my Jason's Deli "clean you out" frozen yogurt than the exercise I've been doing at the gym, lol!! Either way I'll take it. The stupid number on the box will hopefully motivate me to keep pushing forward.
Plan for today:
Breakfast: protein drink
Lunch: steak and coleslaw
Snack: fresh strawberries and pineapple
Dinner: Grilled chicken and salad
Snack: SF/FF banana pudding

Thanks so much for all the prayers and well wishes. I'm happy to report that Mom is safe but rather cold. My sister made it there about 5:30 tonight. The roads were all icy and snow covered and Mom's phone and electric lines were lying arcoss the road in front of her house. Luckily, she got her gas fireplace going so had some heat. She had 4 heavy quilts over her bed and was wearing 4 layers of clothing when my sister arrived. My sister said they all are sitting on the fireplace hearth trying to stay warm cuz the house is still very cold. They are headed to Texas about 9 am tomorrow and Mom will stay with us for a couple of weeks. Again, thanks for being there for me.

Morning everyone. Thanks so much for all the prayers for my Mom's health and safety, it means a lot. I'll post as soon as I hear from my sister which won't be until this evening sometime.
Today I plan to go to the gym this morning and this afternoon I have my pre-op appt for my cataract surgery on Tuesday. Other than that, just some running around to do. I'm working Sat, Sun and Monday so no weekend plans for me. I'll watch the SuperBowl at home with Clay. We got 7-0 in the football pot so we're hoping to win a little money. But you never know in football, I've seen 8-5 win before.
Better go start my day. Make good choices and go take your vitamins.

Yesterday was not good for me. Spent a lot of the evening trying to contact my Mother who is stuck in the ice storm in Arkansas with no heat or water. Anyway, can you say stress eating took over? Yup, I had about 400 extra calories and this morning it showed on the scale. I DID however exercise twice yeterday. I went to the gym and I did my Wii fitness coach.
Today I have to pre-op for my cataract surgery next Tuesday and will also go to the gym this morning. I've taken my vitamins, am drinking glass #2 of water and I have my protein drink thawing on the counter for after my shower. I'll go pull some chicken breasts out of the freezer for dinner tonight and lunch will have leftover steak and fresh fruit. Now if I can just stick to the plan...

My 87 year old mother lives by herself in Arkansas where the horrible ice storm**** We've been unable to reach her for 4 days. We finally were able to get through to the State Police tonight who radioed to the local police and they did a welfare check on her. She is OK but has no electricity or water. They LEFT HER THERE!! What idiots!! Apparently there is no place that has electricity and water. My sister is driving up tomorrow to rescue her but it's a 10 hour drive. She doesn't even know she's coming cuz we couldn't talk to the local police as they have no phones either. We even tried calling the Walmart, City Hall, Fire stations, etc, NO ONE has any services. The State Police did say the roads are driveable but it might take 3 weeks before all services are restored. Anyway, it is above freezing tonight but I don't know how she's making it with no heat. Her whole house is electric. Knowing Mom she has plenty of soft drinks and WINE to drink since they have no water either. She also always has tons of food so she should be OK there.
Anyway, prayers that she has one more safe night and that my sister can get her tomorrow would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning everyone. I hope you had a great time yesterday in Cancun, I know I sure did, lol. Actually, I didn't so squat yesterday. I was cold and couldn't warm up so I just played on the puter and watched TV all day. What a waste. Today I'm headed to the gym and going to grab a few groceries. I NEED to do my income taxes. I have everything I need, just haven't had the motivation to tackle it.
Hope everyone has a super day and stays warm ...now get up and take those vitamins so you won't get sick!!
