Hi all.
I did L1 with plenty of difficulty today. I have ANOTHER cold!!!I think it's the new germs that the Peanut I watch brings in.

Good morning Shelby (and all to follow). I'm sorry you have another cold. That's no fun! I just finished doing my O! for the day.

My kids went back to school today. Their Christmas break was a little longer than usual this year.

I wasn't very good with my eating this weekend. I'm ready to get all the "junk" out of my house and get back to normal. I know I said I wasn't going to weigh and measure each week anymore, but I couldn't help myself. Measurements were the same, but I was up a half pound. I wasn't surprised or bothered by it. I'll get back on track.

I think life is about to get really busy again here. All the more reason to eat properly and stick with my O!. I have been good with my water intake, though.

We have rain in the forecast! I sure hope we get some....we so desperately need it.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Good morning Shelby, and Kelly S. and all to follow, too!

I did 1/2 a commuter tape this morning, at home, lying in bed. I got to get more motivation, so this is a start (again) for me.

I would like to give a shout out to my piano buddy, Alene (she's been doing "O" for three years. She emailed me yesterday and said she recognized my sign-in name on this chat room. We are taking a great course together - learning to play piano by ear. To me it's a great hobby and I find it fun to express myself musically.

Of course, it does take time away from "O" - but, not really. 15 minutes a day for Oxycise is worth making time for... I just got to push myself further.

BTW: Oxycise also helps with my asthma. I feel able to take deeper breaths.... (that, in itself, should be motivation to press on).

Happy to be here - yep - I agree about Mondays.... but at least it's sunny out today.

Peace.
Sharon

Just checking in quick to say that I've been doing a bit more Oing the last couple weeks, just doing the breathing with various positions.

Haven't had the time to keep up with reading the posts but think of you all often.

Happy breathing everyone,

Hi everyone,

This morning was moving slow, but once I did L2 I had so much energy that I did Leslie Sansone 2 miles and added O to it. I'm so glad that I learned about Oxycise last October

Shelby sorry you have a cold again. I imagine the little "Peanut" is the one bringing in the colds. Remember when your kids were small and they first started school. I thought my kids would never be well!!

EmBe I think it is great that you have still been Oing. Don't forget we will all want to know when your baby is born I'm sure all of your family is counting down the days now.

Sharon have fun learning the piano. Know you will enjoy it. I learned by reading the music wish I had learned it by ear.

Kelly S. you are such a motivator. You can have some of our rain.

Have a great day everyone.

Sharon

Hi your guys!

Did level 4 and some light weights. Today is my measure in and weighing day. The weight stayed the same, ribcage down 1/2", waist down 1/2" lower tummy down 1" legs stayed the same. So that's a 2" loss this week! I don't know why I haven't measured weekly before.

Shelby- sorry to hear your not feeling well again. Hope you feel better soon!

Sharon(S54)- how fun that sounds taking a piano course. Is learning by ear easier?

Alene- a great big HI to you!

Got to run. Tomorrow I'm taking a refresher course on knitting at the High School down the street and I have to go get the supplies for class. I'll let you know how it went ok? I'm excited about it!!

Until next time...
Susie

EmBe so nice to hear from you. I was just thinking about you this morning wondering how you and the baby were doing. I trust you'll stay in touch.

I did my O! last night but my stars aren't adding up to 9. I'm missing a few. I have lost a total of seven pounds since the first of Nov and for me that is an accomplishment.
I think now that Christmas and the New Year celebration is behind me I'll be able to concentrate on weight loss. i can only hope.

I hope too that some of our past posters will come back and check in with us. Vicki Lynn and Joey come to mind.

Susanna how sweet your DS wants to O! with you. I can't believe it's been a year already since your other son got married. Where did the time go?

I'm off to do L2.

Jeanne

Hi everyone,

Just a quick pop in to let you know I haven't done my O for two days because I have a pain in my upper stomach. Went to the doctor today & he said it might be an ulcer. I have to get a test done, but no O until I find out. Bummer!!!

Everyone stay well, I will check in later......KOB!

Hi O-buddies!

It was 63 here today! It felt good, too!

Alicia and Shelby, I'm sorry that you're both sick. I hope you feel better very soon!

I've done 20 reps tonight with my little boy, and he wants me to hurry up and get finished.

Sharon, it sounds like fun, learning to play piano like that. I learned by note, but taught myself to "pick out" some songs that I don't have music for, too. I don't play very much these days though.

EmBe, thanks for popping in!

Jeanne, I would love to say I've lost 7 pounds since Nov. WOO HOO!!! That's GREAT!!!

Gotta go!!!

Susanna
