Who has time for a few exercises? I am lucky if I have time to shower every day in the midst of homeschooling six children and all the chores that that implies! <BR/>I understand completely how you feel!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535558816784279102.post-61677647543312576562009-01-13T11:19:00.000-05:002009-01-13T11:19:00.000-05:00Happy New Year!

I adore you even more now that I know you use 'colorful' language while driving :-)<BR/>My goals include eat breakfast, belly laugh once a day, and like most parents: much more sleep. xovillage mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921372072320111124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535558816784279102.post-51583425386792775732009-01-11T13:11:00.000-05:002009-01-11T13:11:00.000-05:00Interesting...I also grew up on Cape Cod, use a CP...Interesting...I also grew up on Cape Cod, use a CPAP, and enjoy yoga. :) I need to make very simiar goals to yours.

And the big benefit is (now don't even think about this til you are good and clearly off it-like maybe in 6 months or so) but when I REALLY need a boost (maybe 4-5 times a year) I'll have a cup of regular tea or 1/2 caff coffee and you WILL feel the boost you need. Unlike when you have it all the time and can't really feel it anymore. Good luck with your goals! I too am trying to take off a big hunk of weight. Also, keep my house reasonable. With a big push over Christmas vacation I got things very reasonable and I have kept it up for 2 WHOLE WEEKS! I'm so thrilled. It's the longest I've ever gone with a clean house. What an amazing feeling to look around and not be ashamed of my housekeeping (lack of) skills. I think I'll go invite someone over!NJ Tracy Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073122336629472556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535558816784279102.post-73370135234188403062009-01-09T16:40:00.000-05:002009-01-09T16:40:00.000-05:00Great post!

So... I am learning to let it go. Still, one of my wishes for this year is for you to find more time to share your thoughts and makings with us. You inspire me in so many ways. Thank you for that!

Best of luck with them. And remember - be gentle and small steps. Looking forward to reading and sharing your 209 journey. (: <BR/><BR/>This year my goal is to set a goal for more exercise in my life. Im not sure yet how I am going to do it so my short-term goal is to find a way. Then I'll set the actual long term excersise goal. Small steps - just like my little girl. (: <BR/><BR/>PS good luck finding your camera - Ive just lost my mobile phone!

It's been so lovely to just pull something homemade out of the freezer and bake or grill it. Unfortunately, we have not been choosing the heart-healthiest, waist-friendliest meals. <BR/><BR/>My group meets this weekend to plan healthier meals. In the meantime, I've been more active with my kids, taking long walks and bike rides with them. We've been eating brown rice and whole wheat pasta and LOTS more veggies and fruits. I've lost 4 pounds in the last week and a half.<BR/><BR/>I'm tired of my clothes chafing into my waistline and I refuse to buy bigger sizes! I have ten more pounds to lose...I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...Say it with me now: I think I CAN!!!<BR/><BR/>I think 135 is a realistic weight goal for me at 5'7"...I've been thinner than that in my life, but I'm with you - this body has proudly borne two children into the world. I'm a different person, inside and out, since becoming a mama. At 135 lbs, my energy is generally good and I can maintain that weight goal easily if I eat right and include some kind of daily exercise. So, 10 more pounds to go and I'll be there!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15476636154469326229noreply@blogger.com
