I claim insanity from living with a 2 1/2 yr old for the past two days. I didn't get in my Water today, didn't walk, blech. I ate right and didn't sit on my lazy rear all day, so that's something anyway. *laughs* I'll try again tomorrow. The cutie pie goes home in the morning. I'll miss him so much!

Photonut, glad to see you still posted anyway, that is my problem, I don't want to 'fess up when I mess up. I hope this thread and you all here can keep me motivated. I am sure you will miss Mr. Adorable when he leaves.

Penni, Glad your shopping trip went well and your meal choices were good. YOU GO GIRL!!! I will pray you get to feeling better real soon.

I will do 30 minutes of cardio every day. (Went to a great photography workshop today and walked my fanny off!
