Skip likes working out and he likes the food I cook so I dont have a problem and my parents are just as healthy cause my mom has high cholesterol even though she is a size 2. lol. My mom is always ALWAYS reminding me of my goals (I think she worries about our heart health cause her dad died of a bad heart). Skip has NO PROBLEM saying babe you have been skipping the gym the last few days, or you know you shouldnt eat that. I wish I was as lucky as your son hahahhaa.

It is a good feeling to help /influence others in a positive way. You go!

I started last August on this weight loss kick. As of this morning I'm down to 175. I started at 220.

All the running pays off.

Hahahaha.

Squats are the best, and thanks for comps!

[bossbunny]

Wednesday - No workout (class night) but I did do squats, lunges, pushups, jumping jacks, and lumber jack squats while I watched one tv show before bed.
Thursday - No workout (class night) but I did run stairs three times at work so a total of 6 flights x 3 per round x 3 = 54 flights of stairs.
Friday - Nike Training Club - Get Lean - Intermediate - 30 min Body Surge
Saturday - Insanity Cardio Power and Resistance

And I have no idea what I'll do tonight. Haven't thought that far, still half asleep.

Thanks girl! I am trying to stay really really focused and I must say I am kicking ass and taking names! I can already see a huge difference, Skip says he can see the results of all the squats I have been doing hahahaha. 9 weeks till vacation! Will definately be bikini ready at this rate!

Thats awesome that they got first! I was in cheerleading for awhile, competitions were so much fun!

[bossbunny]

Ps. A neat thing I figured out. If any of you guys are a Reeses Cup or Pieces fan, try buying Cheerios new Multi Grain Peanut Butter Cheerios, I eat a cup dry for a snack every once and a while and they taste almost like little reeses pieces. They almost make me guilty to eat them.
