I forgot to mention this, but I FINALLY weigh less than DH again. The last time that happened was right before I got pregnant. Not really a big deal, but it was a big deal in my head anyhow. 
Lyz, Stacey,Nancy,Dawn,LisaZ,Jena!Hi Ladies!
Erika--A tri? Awesome! The swimming part would surely kill me! Also, am amending my challenge again. I forgot it was 6 weeks, so after I finish the 1/2 on March 1st, I am dropping my long run for the last 2 weeks of the challenge and replacing it with more 30DS or pilates.
Kelly-So sorry that you can't see all of Edward.
I'll be starting my 4 miler once DH is out of the shower.
Amy
Since this is 6 weeks, not just the month of Feb, I'm going to ammend my goals as well - mostly the exercise minute total. I'll get back to you on that after I've had a little time to calculate.
Thank GOD someone else is having the snow for a changeGlad you are enjoying it Kelly!
One sizereally? That does seem totally unfair.
I can almost fit into my 14's but not in public. 
I know I have lost at least 4 inches in the chest area, but that is the only measurement that I know. If I was thinking, I would have taken measurements first.
Thanks for all the warm welcomes, I feel right at home. I did really well yesterday with WW. But today is a totaly different story. My daughter and I voluteered at a gymnastics meet this morning. Then we out to eat Chinese. I have to figure out how many points that cost me. Amiee - that's lovely what you said about your friend. So you are compatible and he's respectful. I understood perfectly what you were saying about taking charge etc. You weren't babbling or rambling or whatever you said. I was being naughty and inquiring about a different kind of chemistry.
Well folks. The ridiculous behaviour is back on. I saw another big change in my body. In a mirror. I'm nearing onederland - which for me means near goal.
And I'm tired of looking at my weight. Not tired of trying to eat consciously and working out. But very tired of looking at numbers and thinking where I'm at and where I want to be. Would just love to love this right now. Cause if I didn't drop another pound I look fine. But I have to because I'm in the BL and don't want to quit. But very very tired.
Hi everyone!
) Anyway. Yeah. That's what happened.Nancy - When are you going to your new home in Mexico?
We have weeks. No restrictions. Can use 'em any time we want. Or trade 'em for somewhere else. Very flexible.
YOu must be so thrilled about losing weight on the challenge, eh? I mean since you're so fit, so small and lifting. That's fantastic.
Thank you.I've been really working on it. With the exception of tonight, of course

You're right. It is crazy. Enjoy the success. Love the looks. Be proud of you. You're SO worth it all!
LisaV-Glad to see you here! I am loving the 180's.
Hi everyone!
No worries on the points. Track it, own it, then move on. 
Erika--Is the swimming part OUTSIDE in March? I can only imagine how cold that would be. We took alot of vacations to Maine in the summertime and I know how cold the water was then.
LisaV-Glad to see you here! I am loving the 180's.
Paula-WTG on the workout! Enjoy your rest time tonight! You are SO on with everything! Bella IS whiny. That is why I enjoy some of my fan fiction so much. The people tweak her character so that she isn't so whiny.
Amiee-hope the kids get back to school tomorrow!
Kelly-Can you see all of Edward yet? You really need to. It's a totally beautiful picture.
Liz-Details on the weekend, please. What did you get at Coach?
Kat-just had a Highland Gaelic! Yum. I had had some of their other beers, but I hadn't had that one before. How did Hockey go?
Puppy bowl is on animal planet. So cute.
Ate too much. Didn't really track. Drank what I wasn't supposed to. Didn't exercise. 
Yeah, it bites. My clothes must have been entirely too tight.
Hi everyone!
- again cause I simply smile everytime I see your name. Lisa
Thanks Nancy.
Ah Mexico.
on Brad. It's Brad, yes? I so feel heavy when I read about it all. I don't know how you made it through Amiee. I really don't. You are something. Know that Amiee. You are something.
Awesome on the weighing less than DH!!
Lisa, next trip is the grand family fiasco scheduled for September. BIL/wife, 2 nieces (6 and 11), MIL/FIL. Right now we are at the BW but will likely try to switch to BCV at the 7-month.
Man, I am TIRED!! My hockey game went fairly well, although we lost quite badly. We had the ice for 1.5 hours so wound up playing 2 20 min run-time periods, and 2 15-min runtime period, and then a shoot-out where every person on each bench took a one-on-one shot on the goalie. I scored on mine!
After that, I followed E and LisaPR's advice and went to get fitted for running shoes. I have a normal arch and need stability. I didn't buy from them, went around to some discount stores until I found these (but for $25!!): http://www.onlineshoes.com/productpage.asp?gen=w&pcid=100478 . I also found that some of the size 10s in some styles/brands are too small, and 11s are too big. And good luck finding a 10.5!! I am usually a 9.5/10 in non-running shoes, so I guess it all depends on the style.
Then, did grocery shopping for the clean living lifestyle, and came home and cooked a bunch of food to have for the week. Shrimp and meatball gumbo, hard boiled eggs, turkey sausage patties, etc. The pantry, freezer, and fridge are now all stocked with plenty of options.
End result is, though, that I am TIRED.
Shrimp & meatball gumbo? Sounds yum!
Yay for new shoes! Yay for hockey games!
Well, I officially SUCKED today.
Pickin' myself up, dustin' myself off. Movin' on. Tomorrow - GAME ON!
Modifying my challenge (to reflect the 6 week length):
Food: same - track minimum 5 of 7 days per week
alcohol: avoid.
Exercise: 2100 minutes.

I knew you all would. I mean DH and I are only 2-3 inches apart in height, so it's not like I expect to weigh THAT much less than him.
