You’re so right, Scott! I never would have guessed that I’d do 170 – and that was with catching that nasty sinus/throat thing, too!! It started coming on Thursday night when I came home from the hospital – but, I was not going to step down from the challenge!

This group totally ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

And a big GIGANTO “Thank you!!” to you and Nicole for pulling us all in here!!

Sorry for my lack of conversation over the weekend. I have come down with a nasty sinus and throat infection that has really put me out of commission.

I was able to get on a call with Bob The Teacher last night and we were talking about challenges and the power of community.

I mentioned the squat challenge and how I’m sure that many of you never imagined doing as many squats as you did. It was the power of the group that allowed you to push your limits and achieve your true best!

You all ROCK! This group has helped make each individual “UNSTOPPABLE!”

Right on Patti! That makes my day. I find that cloths are the best measurement of your progress. It feels so great when something that was once tight has now become loose.

Great idea – I’m game if I can get my webcam hooked onto something, that is. The stupid clip that attaches it to the laptop broke – the jimmyriggin’ wheels in my brain have been rollin’ and rollin’ – screaming at me that there IS A WAY! I just haven’t come up with it yet. I suppose some good ol’ fashioned duct tape – tape it to the lampshade? Hmm…

Oh, we also have homecoming Friday, so I’d be out of here by around 3pm. (I could still squat at homecoming, though!! hahaha!)

Way to GO, Mom!!! You ROCK!!!

OMG! Susanne! lol! Click on this wonderful shout-out that Susanne gave me. I can’t get over it! You are so wonderful to me.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the squat-off challenge and can’t believe how we were all so competitive and just really pushed ourselves. My son-in-law couldn’t believe that I actually did full squats and not some whimpy version. Yeah… this ol’ lady can do squats… ah ha…

Hey, and I put on a shirt today that was hangin’ on me! Yup! Things are starting to work… in just 3, count ‘em, t-h-r-e-e weeks!!! We rock!!!

PEACE ya’ll!
Love,
The Mom

Yikes… my poor legs haven’t recovered yet, in fact I think I’m hurting more today then I was yesterday.

As much as I hate the idea of me on video (especially while working out), I think Scott’s idea has the potential to raise quite a bit of cash for charity.

Not sure though if my legs will be ready by Friday
