Rob! But no - not at all girlie - how could you say such a thing! Take a bubble bath - its wonderful! OK - gotcha - thanks Vickie! 'Well defined abdominal muscles' (whatever the hell that means or looks like! Personally, I tend to think I prefer my abdominal muscles to be quietly firm!)

Hey Heather! I don't know about the 6 pack for me, one can will do, but it's on my gym goal list, that and my lunch lady arms... You really are an inspiration to me as well, I'm so proud of you!

Hi guys!! It's already been a great morning. Got exercise in before most people were awake. Shouldn't say that since it seemed like the whole city was at my gym this morning. Worked hard because I have lunch lady arms too! Got to get back to goal weight so I can see what areas need work on in the toning department. This is the year!!

I love the idea of less TV, more radio/stereo. It is absolutely true - music magically gets the house cleaned! I want to wean my daughter off the dozens of DVDs she has too - so some singing, dancing and sweeping is a great idea! Better go add that to my resolution list!

I too would like to find the six-pack - at least replace the six pack of coolers with a six pack of abs! Maybe we'll have to have an ab show-down on December 31st! Mind you, I'll have to get rid of my 80 pounds first, but I am certain that it will happen!

An ab show down!! If I'm able to get that 6 pack I want or heck, just get a toned tummy I'll be happy to show it off. :jump:

Hey Heather, I was wondering something about your "victory bath". How do you keep your skin from drying out? If I took a bath every night I'd be all kinds of dried out! Just lotion? lemme know! thanks!

I use bath oils, skin so soft bubble bath and I do lotion up afterword too. I'm glad that you mentioned this because I need to keep this in mind and not forget to lotion up because I do tend to have dry skin.

I also have an additional incentive now. If my sister and I cheat on our plan we have to buy the other person an item of $5 or more of value. It can be a candle, lotion, shampoo or whatever but we have to buy it on the day of the cheat and deliver it the next day to the person. Who wants to do that? The only cheat days we're aloud are a few holidays, our birthday and vacation days.

Heather - Good idea on the $5 penalty gift! HAve a great day!

So, Heather, are you going to be really honest about your cheats? LOL! I think it's a wonderful idea, but I'd be inclined to just hand the other person a $5 bill and be done with it!

Have a good weekend.
