3/6/08 Yeah Aly! Keep working hard Daughter!! Love, Mom

2/11/08 TURBO JAM - Here we come!!! Starting tonight - will let you know how it goes!

2/5/08 At one point was excited for today's weigh in, for both of us. Not so excited anymore. But I have no excuse. Just need to get the exercise in.

1/25/08 I finally feel good about the way i've been eating the last few days and I haven't felt hungry or deprived. Very excited to test myself this weekend and have a good weigh in on Tuesday. Trying to plan ahead more for those on the go times!

1/17/08 Ok, so because I went up 1.5 at weigh in,(bloating?) I couldn't stay off the scale. This morning I was back to 6.5 lost! Now, I promise, cross my heart, I'll stay off the scale until Tuesday. It was what I needed this morning though. Yeah!

Anyway, I am glad to see you both are still here and still working hard! Good luck...I love checking in on you!!

The Journey

April 23

ANOTHER WEEK GONE BY

My husband, oldest son and I were in Chicago (suburbs) last week and over the weekend and boy is it reality living out of a hotel and traveling in a car for 5 1/2 days! I thought I was prepared, but was not. I did ok though and just tried to portion. I got some exercise in as we were on the third floor of the hotel and we all used the stairs. We had a nice time and took in alot of good hockey as our son was there for a USHL scouting camp. He did good and held his own and left a good mark as we drove out of town.

Aly was back in Minnesota and continued her charge with exercise. She has been working out more and harder than I have ever seen her. I am so proud of you Aly! Can't wait until you remember to weigh in! Hint, hint.

Weather is looking up around here and it feels good to get outside and go for a walk or a run. We are still here and continue to feel motivated. I definately have had my ups and downs, but have learned so much about myself and "dieting" ( I hate that word now).

Thanks again to you all that keep us going!

Have a great week!

- Shannon

A NEW WEEK AND A NEW BEGINNING

AS OF WEDENESDAY, I STARTED OVER. I FIGURED I SHOULD BLOG ABOUT IT. I KNOW THAT I HAVE NOT DONE WHAT I SHOULD OR COULD OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I FEEL LIKE I'VE LET ALY DOWN, YOU ALL DOWN AND MOST OF ALL MYSELF DOWN. I AM WORTHY OF THIS AND DESERVE TO BE HEALTHIER. THIS HIT ME WEDNESDAY AND I AM PROUD TO SAY, I STARTED OVER - IMMEDIATELY. I DID NOT WAIT FOR MONDAY TO COME. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE OLD ME. I FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THE FOOD I HAVE HAD AND I FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE EXERCISE I HAVE GOTTEN. I COULD DO MORE IN THAT DEPARTMENT, BUT WILL NOT FEEL BAD BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN SHOVELING SNOW ALL WEEK. YES SNOW. WE HAVE GOTTEN ABOUT 35" OF SNOW IN THE LAST WEEK AND I HAVE BUSTED MY BUTT TAKING OVER MOST OF THE SHOVELING AND GETTING MAJOR CARDIO.

ANYWAY, I'M BACK, I'M MOTIVATED AND I WILL BE CHECKING IN ON YOU ALL AND HOPE TO INSPIRE AS YOU HAVE ALL INSPIRED ME!!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!!

We've only just begun

We are going to keep on keeping on! We feel like we've really just started to "get it", so we're not going anywhere until we've reached our goals along with all of you!

I've been going through my friends list, getting rid of all the ones that still say "invited" and kind of updating some others. It's amazing to me the number of people that posted on their site the first week or two and then just quit. Nothing against them, I just know how much of a tool this has been for me personally and I can't imagine just being done. Maybe someday one of you will have to quote me on that!! Wink

Here's to a great bunch of FRIENDS and to all of us succeeding and reaching our goals!
