awww, that little orange one is adorable.

when I was growing up we always had cats. I remember one of our females had a litter of kittens and when they were just a couple weeks old she got hit by a car. We had to bottle feed all 4 of them and ended up keeping all of them, they were the sweetest kittens. I think part of the reason they were so sweet is because of the bottle feeding and the human interaction they had from the time they were really little.

good luck!

we bought this last year, I think I did it for about 4 weeks, and definitely noticed a difference, Steve did it for 2 months and lost a lot of weight and got into really good shape. But then he stopped, and now he needs to do it again (don't tell him I said that, lol!)

The hardest part for me was that I hated the yoga and you're supposed to do all the workouts, etc... And I also felt like their was a TON of pushups, which I know I would have gotten better at, had I stuck with it longer.

I actually should start doing it again as a morning workout and then going to the gym at night.

maybe I'll start in the morning.

Oh girls, I completely fell off the wagon this week!! And to top it off the battery in my scale died and it's a weird watch type battery, so of course I didn't have one in the house and haven't made it out to by a new one yet.

So I couldn't even weigh in and see how bad I really was!!!

I just went to the grocery store tonight and picked up lots of fruit and veggies, so I'm back on the train and hopefully I didn't do too much damage to myself this past week

my day started off well. then I ate half a can of pringles and had ice cream. why do I do this to myself? I went and worked out this morning I should have been all set to eat good the rest of the day.

Tomorrow's a new day right?

(I did skip dinner, maybe that will help a little?)

Oooh, I like the mini challenges. I just had some strawberries, one down, 4 to go!

Congratulations Sylvia! Sounds like everything was perfect!

I love your centerpieces, those are really cool, I've nevers seen those before!

Lol! They weren't even homemade! I bought them at the grocery store, my favorite ones are the sugar cookies with the thick frosting on the top. I think I ate 4 of them. And then I ate a sugar free chocolate chip cookie.

I had to buy them for a meeting, but then the meeting was cancelled so I was in my car with all these damn cookies!

When I got home I brought them all to my mother in law, she loves the sugar cookies too, so at least they're out of my house!

Besides my complete melt down on monday, when I couldn't stop shoving cookies in my mouth, I did fairly good during the week, not perfect, but decent. After the cookie incident on monday I went to the gym and did a step class, didn't eat anything else, and ate light yesterday, so I managed to lose this week, yay! Not a huge amount, but a couple pounds is a couple pounds. My last couple of weeks were very low losses, so this is better!

I had set a goal for myself in January, to get to a certain number, and I'm about 18 pounds away, I'm really hoping I can get to that by the time this season is done!

I used to work with someone that sat on a ball at work instead of a chair. I never really thought about it, but if it would help me to stop slouching so much, I should try it! I catch myself sometimes and it's ridiculous how much I am leaning over!

The scent sounds like a really good mix, I can't wait to try it!

I'm sorry Vikki, I know it must be hard, but you were able to turn your life around and that means so much more than a few friendships.

and you're right, you're extended family and your mom's friends will be happy to be there and support you.

If it makes you feel any better, I have the group of friends like sex in the city, and none of them came to my DW. (one of them had just had twins, the other two really had no excuse.) And that really hurts too, to have those friends, that don't really feel like friends at the most important time in your life.

I'd come to your shower if I was near you

They book up to 3 per day

Harty, I'm so sorry you had to change your plans. You'll still have a beautiful wedding, I've always wanted to go to barbados, but haven't made it there yet. You'll have to take lots of pictures.

Sylvia, good luck with everything, I hope you have a beautiful day. don't pack too much, I had so much stuff that I never wore and it just made it more difficult at the end of the trip when I had to pack everything back up plus the stuff we bought. One of our suitcases was actually over the weight limit on the way home and we had to pay an extra $50 bucks. The dress code is definitely not over the top.

I was doing so good, until saturday afternoon, I went to a 2 year olds birthday party. I had two small pieces of pizza and some salad. But when I left Steve asked me to pick him up a pizza and of course I was still starving, so I had some of that pizza too! And to top it off, since I didn't have cake and ice cream at the party, I decided that Ben & Jerry's was in order!

What the hell is wrong with me!!!

Anyway, I got myself back on track yesterday (sunday wasn't horrible, but I won't say it was great either) so I'm hoping that I'll at least stay the same and not gain!!

Most of the higher end resorts don't allow spring breakers, so at least you won't have to deal with it at the resort.

I don't remember the site, but I think I just searched through google and found a site that you can input your weight and height and the type of activity and it estimates how many calories you burn. I think there are a lot of sites out there, it shouldn't be too hard to find.

I LOVE Grey's! I can't wait to watch this weeks episode! I probably won't watch it tonight because I'll tape it on the DVR, and for some reason now that I DVR everything I have an issue with watching live TV because I hate the commercials!

Alyssa I was really confused too when we bought ours!

I ended up buying the wii console, that comes with one of each controller, and then I bought an extra of each controller.

then the wii balance board comes with the game. I think walmart had a package where you could get it all together, but I never actually figured out if it was cheaper or not.

I got up nice an early and hit the gym, did step class and a weight lifting class.

My entire body hurts right now! I'm just glad my workouts over for the day, I've got to go jump in the shower and get ready for hailey's soccer game.
