It's snowing. I cannot believe it. It was 80 just a few days ago! I am SOOOOOO over this weather. It is really starting to get old! Have a great Saturday.
Very, very old. Sorry you had snow, but I know your pain. The cold is a little easier to take with the sun shining. How did your run go?
Hi, This is my first post and i would like to join the spring challange.
Welcome to the BL challenge!! We'd love for you to tell us a little about yourself when you have time.
Well I had a really bad day with eating and dont even want to embarass myself by disclosing what I ate. Lets just say it involved no plan and fast food. I had to laugh when I read the QOTD.
We had a busy day and now I am going to get my kiddos to bed. I hope everyone is enjoying there weekend. I would type more but dh is cleaning up around me and huffing and puffing about it so I guess cinderella needs to get to work.
How are you doing cinderella?
You're so funny. Hope you helped dh so the huffing and puffing stopped.
Bummer on the bad day, but today is a new day, and a fresh start. I've been the same way since the princess, pretty much maintaining, up and down with the same few pounds, but I just haven't been able to stay focused for any length of time. I think the merger of teams is a good time to recommit and get our focus back, and get on the losing train again. I am so inspired by the numbers so many have posted of their losses. We can do this too.
This merge is a lot of fun getting to meet all these new people. It feels like we are really on TBL episode from two weeks ago where the two teams combined to be Blue!!
That's so true. Here we go!! No game playing though.
: We ended up at Chilis and I had a $10 GC. I had a great salad-- well half of it, then the other half for dinner. It was much better at lunch!

You are doing so well. I would have eaten the whole thing for lunch, because salads don't taste so well as leftovers. Keep it up!!
Busy day for us. Hunter was in the school play this year. They did Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Hunter was James, one of Charlie's school friends as well as a squirrel (the play has squirrels instead of geese). There was a performance for the school yesterday and public performances last night, this afternoon and tonight. They were also having a bake sale during intermission to help fund the performances. I made 2 dozen cupcakes on Thursday for it. I was busy with Lacrosse yesterday so I couldn't see it or help out. My parents and my great aunt and uncle went last night. They raved about how good it was. Today when I dropped Hunter off I went in and offered to help. I ended up doing hair and makeup for the first performance then realized that we would have no food for tonight's intermission so I came home and baked for 3 1/2 hours. I made chocolate cupcakes, whole wheat raspberry flavored cupcakes both with a raspberry flavored homemade frosting as well as brownies in mini muffin tins with the same frosting. I bought those in for the evening performance and helped again with hair and makeup before sitting down to enjoy the show.
He is just adorable, Deb. I bet that was a really fun play for them to put on. Sending prayers your way for all that you have going on in your life right now.
I must be doing something right as I am down 48 lbs. No weight watchers , no fad diets. I do try to think a bit more about snacks and our meals. I do Tae Bo each morning and each evening every single day. I only missed a couple of times since I made up my mind. Looking for the the weather breaking so I can takes a walk each night. Looking forward to meeting everyone from Team Donald.
Congrats on your loss. Doesn't it feel great when it clicks, you do the right things and see results.
Whoa I'm overwhelmed on here
I've been away awhile again. It's hard to keep up on posts. Wish I had more time to come on daily - it help keep me focused too!!
It is overwhelming when the thread is busy, but don't worry if you can't keep up with everyone, pop in and post and let us know how you're doing when you can and read when you have time. There is always some helpful hints here. I will settle down a bit too, especially as spring comes and the warm weather with it. Congrats on your loss. 14 pounds is awesome.
I've done the WDW Marathon, DL Half and WDW Half few years ago (WDW Marathon and DL Half in 2009 and WDW Half 2010). I got lazy last year and didn't run or do anything. This year I am going to be training for The Dopey.
Though I really hate running, its fun to have a race to run for and the medals (and t-shirts).
Congrats on your races so far, and for training for the Dopey. That is awesome. I'm having a hard time getting out since the princess half, it was so much easier to run all winter having that disney race on the horizon. I'm doing it, but it's not as much fun. Does running have to be a love hate relationship? Love it when it's over, hate it while I'm doing it?
mmm...cooking on the grill. sounds great. it's almost like spring is actually here. oh except for that little thing called the freezing weather! lol! maybe we'd feel more spring-y if we had some good food on the grill. hmm, sounds like you've inspired sunday dinner!
************
i didn't go out for a run today. it was 25 degrees and very windy. when i was training this winter those conditions were an every-run occurrence but now that i'm not training for any races i just don't have the motivation to go out and freeze my butt off. so, i did 45 min on the elliptical that we have in our guest room (aka junk room, shame on me). i have netflix watch instantly on my iphone so i've been watching episodes of this british show called skins. it is SO scandalous and i will NEVER allow my children to watch it. not until they are 30!
feeling a little nauseous today. not bad though. i'm really feeling tired. funny though - i'm awake at the computer, DS is having a snack and DH has been napping for the last TWO HOURS! men!
I grilled steak and chicken, and it was so good. I should say, my brother grilled it, so he stood out in the cold. He will always take over the grill when he's here, I think it's a sexist thing, but I don't mind.
I so hear you on getting out in the cold. Nice work on the elliptical. Did you have a lot of morning sickness with ds? Hopefully it won't be too bad for you. I remember the tired feeling in the beginning especially. Rest up, as much as your ds will let you.
All I can say for now..... CONTROL. When there is a LOT in my life that is OUT of my control, I search for control where I can find it... and that is (lately) with my food and exercise. I think if you can find a way to stay IN CONTROL with those things, everything else won't seem so bad.
I think of these words often, when I feel my self getting stressed, and spiralling out of control. We so do have the power to control what we put in our mouths. You inspire me so much, pamela. I do have the power and the control. So glad your dh is doing well.
Ds and I are up, but my brother, sil and neice are still sleeping, so I have to just quietly goof off on the computer and DS is playing his ds. Sil and i are going to walk while ds is at ccd this morning, and then we might hit the mall before the movies.
Have a lovely sunday, losers!!
I was pretty dang aggravated. We made it home at 2:25... and I think DD and I were both asleep by 2:30!! Tough drive for me, not being a night owl!!
This smilie has way more energy than I do. I am exhausted. 
We ended up at Chilis and I had a $10 GC. I had a great salad-- well half of it, then the other half for dinner. It was much better at lunch! 
I probably get something fast food once or twice a week for lunch or dinner. My mantra has been I can find something to eat anywhere we go-- except Taco Bell! Which is a bummer because we love Taco Bell but there is just nothing I would want to even try to eat there that would be on program for me. I actually avoid Subway because of the bread. I had it a month or so ago and got a flatbread and then proceeded to take the whole thing apart and load the insides onto one tiny piece of the bread to keep the carbs low. I also had a flat bread at Tropical Smoothie this week and did the same thing. Cut off most of the bread and loaded the insides onto what was left. The amazing thing is that the bread really hides the great flavors inside so I like it better that way.
I do well 1 or 2 weeks then fall off the wagon and then practically get run over by the wagon during that TOM 
I'm on the downside of the 220's and on my way to the 2teens LOL I'm surprised since it's been a bit stressful this weekend. DD3 decided to wake up at 3 am yesterday and stay up for the rest of the day :O
Definitely have a case of the lazy today.
