Thank you for the compliments, guys. It is so hard to post pictures like that... it feels almost like making yourself vulnerable in a way. it is very encouraging to read your posts!

Charlotte, I don't think that you have to worry about your butt, honey! Not if yours is the butt in those jeans! I think one thing that is very true, though, is that we are never happy with certain parts of our body no matter how they look to everyone else, no matter how hard anyone tries to convince us otherwise. I think that you guys are a group of amazingly beautiful women, not just outside but where it really counts: inside. I am so happy that I can log on and be encouraged and feel joyful when I read your posts. You guys are so awesome! :7
Lori, are you still feeling queezy? Sounds like you may be getting the flu. Yucky! I dealt with that all week last week. Me, Logan and than Layne all in a row. I am still catching up on laundry. OH, THE JOY! x( x( x( Can you tell me about your treadmill, what kind you have if you like it. Dan and I are getting one with our tax refund and I am looking into what is out there and what is best. I hope that you feel better, you lazy bag of bones!
Wendy, how was the workout? Sounds killer! What is LIS? Is it from the Slim Series? Vacation would be so fun for you guys! You can do something cheap, too. I know that cruises are very expensive. Perhaps you guys could do a Florida vaca. Dan and I spent less than $1000 when we went including hotel (cheap one) and airfare. I love vacations!
Susan, I LOVE IM2!!!!!!!!! It is the funnest workout ever! I laugh everytime I do it, it is so great so I am very jealous of you. }( And you got your HR up that high? Phew. I am sweating beads for you!

and then I am going to take a long nap for you.
Okay, I have to tell you what my sister and I were doing. PICKING UP HER WEDDING RING! My sister is getting married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for her! They spent all day looking at rings, and then Justin spent the rest of the day looking for his birth certificate so they can get 'er done!!! I am so excited for her! They aren't going to do anything big, just go to the justice of the peace. They figure why waste time? She is absolutely glowing. I have never seen her smile so much and act so giddy! I am so happy for her, really. Okay. Now I am cheesing!
I haven't had sugar in... since I asked you to flog me!

And I did HSC today. Wooohoooo! I have to find a time to run this week. Oh, and we ate sushi for lunch! I love sushi! The waiter was amazed because my less than 2 year old son was eating edamame from the pods, seaweed salad and miso soup.

My good little eater! And we saw DH on our way to pick up the ring. I love him so much!!! He is really amazing and I am so lucky to have him.
Well, this is long enough, I think! Your eyes are probably tired by now, so I won't waste another minute but will bid you adieau!
