I used to have Wonder Woman underoos. I wanted Spiderman, but Mom wouldn't

get them for me because I am a girl. I bet Mike T. has Batman underoos...

I didn't know they make Yosemite Sam underoos. You must really be connected

with the special underoos forces. I am in awe! I have Cartman underoos from

Target.

What kind of activities do your kids do? I know right now Kelsey is

involved in soccer. On the night's she's at practice I can walk the

sidewalks at the soccer complex. I have yet to do so; but we've only

been to 3 practices and I was sick for one of those. I do plan on

starting to do that. That's an hour of walking. :-) Maybe you could

do something similar?

I was overly ambitious. I've just not had as much time as I would have liked to

word for plateau. At this point, I would just be happy to make it to 219 (5

more pounds).

can't give that up when it is so close. I keep telling myself that things will

feel exhausted most days already, not sure how I will have the energy for

regular exercise. Any advice?

Great suggestion . I have a mini van so why can't I through my

bicycle in the back and use it to get some fresh produce at a nearby

store while my son/daughter is at practice or a game? Well their

practices are in some areas with very high traffic dangereous roads

so maybe that's a bad example. I do like to watch the games too but I

could still walk around the outside of the field as I think it's a

running track itself. That's going to be difficult in the winter too

but then I'll just have to step up and do it I guess.

Mike,

I think W. was actually talking to me because I had replied to your post.

If things between you and Shauna continue on the present path, you won't be

kidless for long. LOL! :-P
