Great Meeting Ladies!

It was good to see some of you tonight! What a great month!! :) Way to go.... WOP!

I met my goals...

Monday

Hey everyone! What a great month. I'll see you all tomorrow night. We'll miss you, Cherie. Be sure to bring your calendars.

GM!!

Monday,Monday, so good to me

Wow! I love being at home. I love visiting too, but it is always nice to come home.
GM It wasn't so easy today.

"There's also the Strange Guy who is always at the Gym. Just when you think he isn't here today. . . he is , lurking by the barbells."

Hey, I will be writing a book here today

Hi. I am so excited to be able to read your posts. After a few hours on the phone with my computer wizard Monte McCall (he is great if you need computer help) I can now read your posts, YIPPEE. I have spent a lot of time this morning reading all your wonderful posts. So good and inspiring. Love you guys. I have missed all of you and am so glad that you are doing well. CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for reaching your goals for so many days. YOU ARE AMAZING. Now for the confession (can you see the big lip). I owe you $ 40. Not only could I not post but I fell off the wagon (actually I fell and then was dragged for miles in the mud or no I think it was chocolate). I just sucked it up (literally, but as hard as you suck in your tummy it does not make you weigh less) and got on the scale. Unbelievably I have stayed the same weight despite my worst efforts. My goal for the 40 days was to lose 5 pounds (how hard can it be) and then keep it off. I guess my new goal for the next month is to lose 5 pounds and keep it off (sounds familiar somehow). Unfortunately I will not be here for the HLC meeting on Tuesday. My daughter Suzi is 8 weeks from having her baby and has been having preterm labor for a week. She is now on bed rest (that will be so hard for her, as she has more energy than anyone I know). I am going to Logan tomorrow for a few days to tie her down. I will send my dirty $ along with a written confession and a vow (sealed with a kiss or written in blood, whichever you prefer) to do better between now and May whatever. Looking forward to celebrating on Feb 10th. So good to be back.

It's Saturday again

Hi. I'm back. And I'm 100%. It looks like we all are!
Good to be home.

Last Friday of the month.......and

We are doing amazingly well! Goals met!

Thursday

I can't believe none of us wrote yesterday. It must be nearing the end of the month :).

I met my goals today. This healthy living is starting to become a habit!

I miss you

I still can't see the posts even though I have two computers. They each have a different issue. I am confident all of you are doing well. I am going slow and steady, but in the right direction. Hope all of you are shining stars.

Tuesday and I'm already tired

Goals met for the 85th day in a row! I'm quite frustrated with the scale as it never seems to move... Week after week now nada! I guess I'm not moving up. I certainly feel good and running is really easy and overall I feel great so I guess that's where things are at with me. Why do we get so caught up on what the scale says?!? I'm letting it get me down, and it's silly! Chin up and feet forward right! :)

Monday

GM! :)

Sunday

Hola Amiga's!!!! I met my goals. Here's to another goal met week! We got this!

Sunny Saturday. . . sort of. . .

Hello good friends! I'm happy to report that I'm still 100%! I'm starting to see a difference. I'm wearing some jeans that I hadn't worn since last fall. It feels so good to be meeting goals and feeling good!
Lisa, great job on the jean "slippage". Kim, Heather, Cherie and Annette, great job!
Heather, I'm soooo sorry about your flooded basement. I dread the day my basement floods. (Doesn't it happen to all of us sooner or later?!)
Life is good. I'm so happy to call you my friends. I hope you all have a successful week. I should be home in a week. I look forward to our next meeting.
"One hundred percent, one and all!"

Frustrating

It is frustrating that I cannot see anybody's comments. I can only see or write the first post. In the next few days I will try to work on the problem but computers that don't work make me crazy. Doing well with goals. So cool that all of you are too. Day 20 complete. You are all looking so great.

Thursday

I met my goals. Today was just plain crappy! Good thing is tomorrow is another day.

Baggy Jeans...

Ok, SO.... I officially slid my size 14 jeans off without unbuttoning or unzipping them! I'm a happy girl :0) Thanks for all the motivation and stick-to-it-ness HLC!!!

HLC WORKS!!!

I met my goals today, I hope you are all well, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Hello from Mt Home

Babysitting my grandkids for 4 days, hearing about the coming storm tomorrow. Been fun and I have met my goals while here. I keep having the urge to make cookies but have resisted so far. Ilene congratulations on your new arrival. So fun that you are there. Congrats to all of you meeting your goals. For some reason I can read original posts but cannot read the comments. When I click on them my computer searches but never finds. Hope you all doing as well as those of you posting first. Looking forward to celebrating in Feb.

MLK Day

I listened to MLK's "I have a dream" speech this morning to get my day started. Powerful.

I'm off to play volleyball at 9 tonight...I missed it all last week! If any of ya'll want a fun FHE activity come on down and watch some good ball at Apple sometime on Monday nights :0)

Hope you're all doing well! I know I would have gone off my diet yesterday if it weren't for the 40 day challenge...I was so out of control in my thoughts and cravings...I finally just went to bed early...I'm so glad they were all gone when I woke up! Thanks for the challenge and support...I couldn't do this alone ya'll.

I met my goals today! :0)

Sunny Sunday in Fallon NV

Hello ladies. I just read the blogs and comments from Thursday on. You are all doing so well. I am happy to report that I am right on track. Good, healthy eating, and exercise.
Yes. We have a new grandson; Sawyer Joel Schank, born Jan 13, at 3:13pm. He is beautiful. Lindsey and baby are doing well. Life is good.
I'm proud of everyone meeting their goals. You all continue to inspire.
Later.

Glorious Saturday

What a great day today! I met my goals and that is day 75 of doing so! GO Kim and I!

Friday, friday!

I know Ilene used that title last week, but it's just one of those songs that gets stuck in your head!

I'm finished eating for the day plus I went to the gym already, so I can report that I met my goals today.

I recently read something I've thought a lot about . . .this author says that sometimes you have to think you're a certain way and then you become that way. Like with the weight loss, I know a lot of times I thought of myself as a person who couldn't stick to a diet for more than a few weeks, someone who was overweight, etc. Now I'm trying to say to myself (and anyone who will listen) that healthy eating is easy for me, I can easily avoid sweets, I love to exercise, I'm happy with my weight . . . stuff like that. Actually some (not all) of it is true, but I'm finding that when I say things like that it really is becoming true!

Have a great weekend wherever you are!

Cold but good day. Loved the sunshine. Good to have jeans a little bit looser, feels good. Have a great trip Ilene. Hope the rest of you are doing great.

Wacky Wednesday

I know this is very early for blogging, but it may be the only chance I get today. It is a wacky day. I have, and will meet my goals today.
Another funny fact:
"Great job!" is trainer-speak for "It's not polite for me to laugh at you."
-Wall street journal
I will be jetting out of here at 5:30 am tomorrow. I will try to post, but if it doesn't happen I will be back by the 29th.
As Heather would say, "Happy trails friends!"

Most divine!!

I have found the MOST divine recipes! First is pancakes made of almonds, eggs, oil and WOW I can have something besides eggs every morning!! Second and most delish of all is cauliflower pizza!! The crust is cauliflower, egg and cheese with garlic! Amazing stuff! Very low carb and so yummy!! Both are very quick and easy to make!! If anyone wants to full recipe let me know.
I met my goals and FINALLY saw the scale move today! I feel amazing and SO strong! The repetitiveness of meeting goals everyday for 71 days really pays off! We all should commit to the next 100 day phase in February because I want everyone to know what this feels like!!
Have the happiest of days my friends!! I love you dearly!

Magnificent Monday

I loved the quote in the Relief Society bulletin. . .
"Courage is required to make an initial thrust toward one's coveted goal, but even greater courage is called for when one stumbles and must make a second effort to achieve.
. . . sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says,'I'll try again tomorrow'."
-President Monson

Loved it. Met my goals today.

I'm back and glad to be home.

Lots of fun this weekend but too much driving. Drove my in-laws to St George Thursday, turned around and took the bus to SLC on Friday, went to Logan on Saturday and drove home last night to arrive at midnight. I met what I thought were my goals and gained a pound (WHATS UP WITH THAT). Glad to hear you are all doing well. Way to go you wonderful women. I am revamping goals and starting over, this week will be better.

Great weekend following a great week

I keep forgetting to post, but have been doing great on my goals

It's Friday, Friday. . . .

Look at this. I am posting first!
Met my goals today.
I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful weather, and took the opportunity to be outside.
You are great ladies. Wonderful friends. Thank you!
Life is good!

Met Goals?

I met mine :0)

Call to Action!

" You can adopt the attitude there is nothing you can do, or you can see the challenge as your call to action."
I met my goals and life is good!

The beginnings of a great year!

So fun to read of everyone's successes. Annette-I'm glad you've rejoined us! Thanks for a good meeting. I really feel like we're going to see great progress this year. We're all close enough to our goals that there's no reason we can't all be at our ultimate weight goal sometime in 2012.

I met my goals today.

Feels so good

Two days in a row of doing well. Feels so good. Mr treadmill is my friend. Keep control. Yeah baby.

New Year

Happy New Year. Everyone looked so good today, what beautiful women all of you are. Day 1 of the 40 day challenge or day 62 for our all stars. Feels good to be in control. I weighed this morning for the first time since about Thanksgiving. Not as bad as I thought but a ways to go. Keep control, keep control, keep control. I said that all day. The treadmill was my friend too, it was nice to visit him again.
