    Sounds like you ae doing better then me. I can’t even seem to post the link for “Hot for the Holidays.” The picture comes up, but that is it. I need to get motivated, since my trip I have been in a real slump. I am all joined up at the gym, but still have not been. The weather is bad so I can’t walk. I hope next week is better.

    James is still in Houston. They cancelled the rest of the meetings this morning and James has been sitting at the airport trying to get on a flight out. He said that the airlines overbooked all of the flights out. He was confirmed a seat for the next flight to Denver, but could still get bumped. If that happens, then he is going to rent a car and drive.

    Wow! You are awesome. I am gonna go run today! Keep it going!

  • Her Eye Zone Art

    I took a day off yesterday from exercise and had some decadent food at the Texas Roadhouse. I was able to doggie bag half of it, so I don’t feel too guilty. It keeps me from going insane. Back to the healthy life today. You’re really on a roll Melissa…good for you!

  • Vodka Mom

    okay, so today, duplicate my list from yesterday, and ADD on –that I taught a class at the university from 5:00 until 8:30. Who signed me up for that crap??? WHO???

    whew.

    Congrats Lissa! You are doing awesome. I wish I was excercising as much as you. Don’t get discouraged about the number on the scale. How your clothes are fitting is the true testimate. And remember, all that excercising, you are firming up. Keep up the hard work!!!
