OMG rock on girly, I'm so happy for you! Please take care of yourself and cherish every moment! Micha

(hijack!) Hi Paula, I love the detour bars too and are glad you told me about them!! love donna

whew!! Your schedule reminds me so much of my daughters'. Other than the traveling. Just busy busy busy. I don't know how you young mothers do it. But it sounds like you had a really really good Christmas Paula. And spending the day in PJs with it foggy outside sounds wonderful, just the sort of down time that you need. I am so happy for you and Bob. Losing weight can work miracles can't it. My husband has finally agreed to go get a physical, and although he isn't a candidate for wls, I am hoping that the doctor will somehow inspire him and he will lose some weight. I know he will feel better both emotionally and physically. It breaks my heart when he has to buy bigger pants. I know the feeling. Well congrats on the anniversary. Now you kids go out and have yourself a great family time. love donna

Then what are you doing reading this? GET YOUR BUT MOVIN PEOPLE !! What do think this is Christmas? Nope that was last week and NYE isn't till next week so no excuses move it move it!! I borrowed this from sparkpeople, I saved it from a spring e-mail but hay with lack of snow it still works. Some call it cabin fever; others call it an energy jolt. It's that random moment when you feel like running a four-minute mile, dunking a basketball, or bench pressing 300 pounds. So when this moment comes to you, take advantage. With the weather getting nicer and the days getting longer, the settings are just right. The possibilities are endless. Jump on the bike. Throw on your running shoes and go. Pop in an exercise tape. Play some hoops with your kid or your roommate. Even a game of pickle in the backyard! Don't hold back. Go ahead and push yourself because that's what your body wants. Of course, it's important to warm up first and stretch, as well as to stop before the point of complete exhaustion. It may only take 15 minutes before you're beat, but your body will be running on all cylinders and headed down the right track towards being healthy and happy. I have no clue what pickle is ...lol Hugs, Lil miss motivator
