Good Morning Gang,

Im up and at 'um bright and early. 5:58 to be exact!x( DS had a tiny nap yesterday evening so he didn't go to bed until 10 last night but he slept until 6 in the morning:) I would consider that sleeping through the night but I kind of wish he had slept for another hour.

So...he is gone for his nap now. Im going to try to get a run in and MM. Maybe I will do MM first and my run after. I am also planning a walk this afternoon but its cloudy out and that may mean rain.

Amelia*** I know how you feel about the weight gain. I havent' been up 5 lbs but I have been up 3 and thats almost as bad! It doesn't take long to come off though if your really good:) I have to stop picking at food. I have been content at this weight for a while but I think I want to get serious now and get to 125 lbs. I thought monday would be a good time to buckle down, but why? Weekends aren't what they use to be? I don't drink myself silly every weekend anymore and then get take out on the way home...so I will start behaving myself today:)

Cheryl*** I love BC to! I usually incorp a run in with it though. I haven't done that one in a while. That would be a great workout for tomorrow morning:)

Belinda*** I wonder is your bread like the bread you can get in Cuba? Their bread is pretty crusty. I like the freash,soft bread. Not to soft...but just right! LOL:) Again, I really wish I could do all the premixes..oh well. Maybe when I win the lottery and I have nothing better to do with my money then replace most of my workouts.

Kim, Nancy....(who else)..oh MARY!!! (I think thats it)Good Morning and I hope you check in with us today
BBL:)

Mary Happy Birthday to your little one! Have fun at your party!

I know that it hurts at big events in your life. Have a great birthday party and congratulations to your little one year old!!! I can't wait to see his pictures!!

Lori - I know you're glad that sleeping is going a little better!!! It's a nightmare trying to function on broken-up sleep!!!

Hi, everyone! TGIF!
Haven't decided what I'll do yet this morning. Maybe a cardio day.
I stayed up very late working last night on writing projects...

Mary, I agree with everyone else - I'm sure your mom is still with you on a regular basis.

Lori, have a great workout today! I'll report back in later what I choose.

Best news of all - it's FRIDAY!!!!
Have a good one, everyone!

Hey Girls,

I managed to suffer through MM and a 4 mile run. The run was fine but the weights were really taking a toll on me. I think I am more tired then I feel b/c every weight felt twice its size!

I will be back later, baby wants attention and mommy wants a shower:)
