How is the driving going?
I've been letting DS14 move the car back and forth in the driveway but that's it.
Pish posh on the mail man. The plow guys took out my mailbox for the last time 3 years ago, I gave up putting it back up. Apparently in CT it's a sport.
OMG! That is hilarious! And you still get your mail? Here they wouldn't give it to you.
Stacy - My legs are killing me!!!!!!!!
I can't climb the stairs either. OMG I hate kettle bells!!! But I'm gonna do it again Thursday. LOL
Haha I hear you on that one! I did the same thing, I did it on Monday and then COULDN'T do it again until Thursday. So then I did it on Thurs, Fri, and yesterday.
Legs really hurt the first time but it has gotten easier thankfully! At least we know it's working the muscles and I am definitely sweating while I am doing it!

My new scale is really motivating me.....it weighs in .2 increments, does not need solar power to work and is just really cool and sleek looking. It just looks like it's gonna give you good news! I'm enjoying our new relationship so far
Whole Foods! If I was back in my hometown in NC, I would be about 10 minutes away from my WholeFoods store. We are getting a new one soon and then our area will have 3 Whole Foods! Another reason I need to get back to USA soon!
Shoulders seem to be the number 1 problem for swimmers. DD had some PT last summer that really helped. Swimming is like BREATHING for my DD.... it would truly KILL her to have to quit.Good Morning.
I know how exciting it is to reach those goals! I am getting excited for our Summer Swim Team to start (but around July I will be getting excited for it to end!)
That reminds me, I need to make an appt to have DD15's shoulder checked and see if she can swim this summer. I have a feeling that she won't be able to swim any more to which will not make her happy.

on the good news!!Hello Donalds!!
I've been reading along but haven't posted in awhile, I think not since last Saturday. It's been a busy week but slowing down a little finally. My new tooth has joined in with the others and is right at home so eating is all back to normal. I've even eaten a few very crunchy things that I've been slightly nervous about but all is good.
Congrats to all the biggest losers this week! And kudos to yrdlyprincess for being the top winner this week!!! I had a very good week last week for me and my percentage of weight loss was .86, which I do not often have. I've dropped another pound so far this week
My old scale was solar powered and it's still dark in the morning and we have weak lights here that are sometimes stuck in eaves and corners so it was not easy to weigh in the morning. I always weigh every day 3 times and I have to see a number twice before it's "official"....my old scale would give me every number from 90 to 200, it was getting really old!!! My new scale gives me the exact same number all 3 times
We had a very nice Valentine's Day here, I wrote a love letter to my DH and one to my DS (very different letters!) and gave them each a small bag of candy. Not very healthy but couldn't think of anything else for guys! DH really surprised me (shocked is more like it) and gave me a Nikon Cool Pics camera. We have both been complaining about lugging around our big Nikon on every vacation so this will be perfect. We'll take it to Paris this weekend and try it out.
Well, we have a race going between 3 people heading to "onederland", does anyone want to race to 180's with me...I have 4.8 pounds to go to get there.
Along the way I will celebrate losing 30 pounds and reducing my BMI from 37 to 32
Hope everyone is having a great week! See you tomorrow which will be my 50th birthday

Good morning!
Up early for a Drs appointment. Had to be up early yesterday too so hopefully this will be the start of breaking a stupid sleep cycle I've been in. Can't fall asleep at night and usually up until 2 or so but then sleep through the morning till 10:30 or so. I hate doing that because I just seem to lose so much of the day.
I haven't been doing all that well with how I've been eating. I did have a small loss so I guess that's ok but I really need to buckle down more. I think it's been stress eating. I'm a terrible muncher.
Hard for me to read back and get totally caught up so I will start fresh from here.
But in response to yesterdays QOTH, tummy tuck!
gotta run! (subbing in Kindergarten today!)...........P
I'm sure you've got that gentle persuasive mom thing going on with him the must have helped him make the right decision. 63 sounds beautiful, and we may see that this week too!!!! 
All the talk of the pain makes me really want to try out those kettleballs. Congrats on the c25k!! When I did it last year, I didn't do anything else, so I would think doing the kettle ball at the same time could affect you when you run. I also worked up to a 2.5 mile run straight, but could hardly walk the next day, so I decided that run/walk intervals worked better for me at my age and weight. I usually do 4 min run, 1 walk for shorter runs, and 2/1 for longer ones. It's a great program, and they also say if you need to repeat a week that's ok too. Keep up the great work. You're an exercising machine.
Good Morning. Looking forward to a good and productive day. I think that I may go and check out the Planet Fitness in our area. It isn't really all that close but it isn't a bad drive and I would love to be able to use a bike and the weight equipment. I am really not into the videos thing. I was hoping that we would join the Y again but it made more sense for DH to join the place right near his work so he can go at lunch time. My only big problem with deciding to join a gym is just that I don't know if I will really use it. Some days I am motivated but usually I'm not! At least Planet Fitness is cheap and no contract. Haven't discussed it with DH yet-- figure I will go look and see if it is decent (clean, nice looking, friendly etc)
I was worried about how you are feeling.
Have you ever seen a chiropractor? I never really believed in them until I had a terrible back problem and my dr said there was nothing he could do but meds that made me practically unconscious. He suggested I try a chiro. I was mad and really didn't want to but was in so much pain I could barely stand up. I called and they got me in a few hours later. When I walked in I was bent over and in tears with every step. I didn't expect much to happen. I was so surprised! I left walking straight and my pain was down by about 80%! I still don't believe in going to one regularly but now when I have a back problem I start there.

Set a sleep schedule and stick to it! Don't let yourself sleep in. on the loss. Get the munchies out of the house and just stock it with healthy options. My new scale is really motivating me.....it weighs in .2 increments, does not need solar power to work and is just really cool and sleek looking. It just looks like it's gonna give you good news!

Nothing beats a sexy scale to keep you motivated! Great job getting right back on program.
And congratulations on being our Biggest Loser!I hate it when those darn cookies jump out in front of me! But how you deal with it is the important thing and you did just fine. We can't deprive ourselves or we are likely to implode.
Been busy with not enough dis time, but am still very focused and in control. Down a pound this morning to 201.8, so very excited and motivated to keep at it. If I step on the scale once and it's below 200, I'm not weighing again til after disney.
That sounds like a very smart plan! , and then check out the Fitness place. There is also another place that is closer and right by the allergists that I may check out but I think it is $$$$, and doesn't have a pool. If I am going to pay big money I want a pool and the Y is much closer and much easier for us to use. But I may go look just to see what it is like.
