First the note!  I've tried to reply back to some PMs, but every time I do, it locks up and I have to close the browser.  Ugh!  So thanks for the encouragement!

On the Pilates...It's a great way to strengthen your core!  It really works the abs!!!  It's great for strengthening your back as well.  When I do it religiously, my back doesn't give me problems at all.  Somehow, when I'm finished, I feel taller!  It's similar to yoga in some ways.

So February is here.  I'm only down 4 lbs.  So, I'm thinking perhaps I may have to rethink my plan.  I'm kind of frustrated that I can't drop the soda.  I know I could drop prolly 20lbs if I just did that.  I'm so addicted!!!!!  I made it all of 6 hrs one day and had to go and get a Dr. P.  Why, oh why can't I just love water?!?!

I may have finally found a walking buddy!  Of course today and yesterday the weather has totally sucked....so!  But, I'm hoping some healthy competition will encourage some better numbers.  I don't like to lose!

I'm hoping to come close to my goal for the end of February.  I'm tired of looking at the gobbler neck in the mirror.  I wouldn't be so disheartened by my appearance if it weren't for the extra chin.  I have no neck, so any little bit of fat around it is going to look like I have a small tire under my chin!  I hate it and it's embarrassing.

Anyway...I'm gonna stop whining and start working on it!  In the mean time, I've got to go get four new tires for the van.  Yay!  LOL!

Have a good one!
