Hey Lisa,

Hope you manage to stay away from the bug personally...

I LOVE to dance ...Always movin' & groovin' for some reason...I even had a guy get out of his car once and come up to introduce himself & ask me to go dancing and bar hopping cuz I was rockin' out so hard while sitting at a traffic light...

You're SO right, it is GREAT exercise and you don't even know how hard you are working out cuz your having so much fun

Actually, my kids have the flu not me thankfully. But duty calls and I've been busy dealing with sick, miserable kids. I'm sorry if I haven't been on much or said, "hello" to the newcomers. I will be back on Monday to greet you all! Have a great weekend and remember to make healthy food choices and MOVE YOUR FEET!!!

Quick Tip: 
For those of you who absolutely HATE all forms of exercise (like me), try this....
Turn up some hip-hop music and move your feet, hips & arms!  Feel the beat and JUST DANCE!
Spin, twirl, twist, wiggle & hop as you get down and boogie! You won't even know you're shedding pounds, raising your heartrate and losing inches!!!

Cheers,
Lisa

Happy Saturday everyone, I am off to join a new Gym, bought myself a membership to 24 hr fitness from costco for $299.  This membership is good for two years, so comes out to about $12.50 per month.  I am so worth that!!  I am excited as I am ready to swim again, I will still keep my membership at my original gym for a while as it is closer to home, and is only $12.00 per month, and I have been a member there since my heaviest and never felt out of place.  Just wi**** had a pool.

Hope everyone has a great day and does something just for them!  Remember YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!!!!!

thank you so much for your reply. It has been a week now, and for the most part I was able to stick to the program (protein first, and much much less of anything else). The hardest part was to NOT snack anything after supper.. the first 2 days were horrible. I had huge headaches, and was sooo hungry!!  But I stuck it out, and drank like a fish. Instead of drinking water I started to drink unsweetened cold green tea (tea bags, not store bought).
Then on day 3 I realized I was NOT thinking about food at night. That was a huge WOW moment for me.
The thing is, if I only have a little 'something' to eat after 8, or 9, and yes, that includes celery sticks or a small piece of cheese, I can not stop with that.... I go an have more, and something else, then I feel like something sweet, then something salty.....it just keeps going and going....
so I am very proud to announce that I was able to NOT EAT after supper for a whole week. On Monday I will weight myself. I am scared of the results, because the weight-ins can litterally crash my effort.....  (if I didn't lose! that is, lol)
I also realized something else:  the pride to be able to put my mind over the bodies urges is big.
The pride to stay away from the cake my daughter baked was big for me.

oohkey  so much on that... have a great weekend everybody!!!   Karin

I have a sweater and a lace shawl going!  And I've found a very complex shawl to being next.   Tonight it is going to be negative 27 before the wind chill :(
