Hello Ladies,
Happy Sunday! I am quite appy this morning. Maybe it has something to do with the fab new shoes I purchased yesterday at Macys. Here is the link should anyone care or have time to waste

Nothing you could wear to an office. While they seem high they are FAIRLY comfy due to the platform helping in relieving some of the height.
Eating has been hit or miss. And yes, I have cracked! I supposedly gave up sweets for lent but have cracked three times. A whole box of chocolates on Wednesday, a bowl of Lucky charms last night, and some Oreos on friday. DH was making snorting noises while I ate the cereal last night. I am back on the wagon as of today!! I am really going to try harder. Last night after mass I had the most delicious caprese sandwich, fresh tomatoes, basil, buffalo mozzarella, extra balsamic on fresh backed italian bread. DH has to rain on the parade by asking me where in Tosca Reno's book is my sandwich mentioned as part of the eating clean program.
Ironlady-glad to hear your dad is stable. Sending good vibes his way. Did you get your new step yet? I have a second step as back up. Not that I have worn my first one down as much as you have but couldn't resist the opportunity that presented itself. I got the second one at a yard sale. It came with its own carrying bag for not only the step, but the risers, and the additional yellow strappy bands. Hold on to your hats here ladies, $20.!!!!!! Yep it was brand spanking new other than for some dust and cobwebs.
Laura-Don't knock yourself for what you think is slow jogging. How slow could you have been if you were able to burn 400+ cals in 40 minutes? Pretty darn impressive!! then you do pilates?!! You are quite the warrior!
Shoegal-I love B&G also but it is so hard on the knees for me. I was doing it for a while twice a week but my knees couldn't take it after a while. I think I will start doing it again even though I am doing STS but have to work the lower body at least twice weekly. I will just sub some of the lunging for donkey kickbacks with leg weights and bridges for the hammies & glutes. How I love firewalkers! You have to check out these shoes I mentioned earlier, still chic but not tacky!
Janie-love your post on the other board about the frog and kitty. Just adorable. Your caloric intake, is that your set amount daily. How does one go about figuring out one's caloric intake accurately? I have a general idea but would like to figure it out more accurately. I don't necessarily wanna split hairs, but would like to get a better idea b/c if i am even over or under by 200-300 calories, well that makes a huge difference.
Michelle-70 degress in Virgina sounds beautiful. I wish we could get that in my neck of the woods on a regular basis. I much prefer chillier weather than the heat we get here normally.
shadowpup-glad to hear you are back in the land of the living. Doesn't it feel great??!! After spending several days being out of wack I really appreciate being back to normal. Even the trees outside are greener and I am aware of hawks and other critters in my neighborhood, just beautiful.
Elle-How admirable that after a long day you still find ooomph for an evening workout! But thanks for reminding about basic step, there are days when I just don't want to give it my all but want to do something light to moderate and this sounds like it does the job. Will have to go and dig it out of my shelf!
Well now that was a loooooong post. Off to Barnes & Noble to have cofee and read all the mags I am to cheap to buy!
Wishing everyone a beautiful & blessed Sunday.
