Life and supersonic careers will always be busy, and healthier habits will give you that extra burst of energy to go to the next level professionally too. So when you are preparing your acceptance speech for the Supreme Court, make sure you mention Jack on that day too!Shirahttp://www.thelighterperspective.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-43279777504216456172010-12-07T14:27:59.579-06:002010-12-07T14:27:59.579-06:00Great Job Laurie!Great Job Laurie!Deanna @ The Unnatural Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825394409527126900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-6697808669224633372010-12-07T13:21:21.847-06:002010-12-07T13:21:21.847-06:00Great job Laurie!!

I too am an attorney and know how hard the job can be when it comes to prioritizing your time -- when the deadlines aren't artifical but court-driven and you simply HAVE to meet them. This is my busy time of the year; I'm working six days a week and will soon go to seven through January 3 -- the most exercise I get during that time is falling in and out of bed!The CilleyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655326831902251300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-14031728086861930492010-12-07T11:49:08.093-06:002010-12-07T11:49:08.093-06:00Right now, I am sooooo stinking close to getting m...Right now, I am sooooo stinking close to getting my 70 pounds lost. (I came from 238) What I couldn't understand was why that I wanted it so bad, and yet every time I turned around, I was sabotagging myself! Now, getting closer to my goal than ever (and sooooo close to the finish line) I STILL struggle with it. Why does crap food have to taste so darn good?<br />Keep hanging in there, Laurie, and know that the closer you get, the more worth it the fight is. <br />Right now, you are in the court room, laying out your opening statements/arguments. As the case becomes more and more involved, you will start looking at how all the pieces fit together (or don't fit). Truth and self control become your reliable witnesses, which will be great because you gain a lot more than weight loss on this journey. You get to know who you really are inside. By closing statements, you will come to the conclusion you've been looking for. That conclusion is YOU CAN DO THIS. <br />The "Family" is backing you on this one. Use your connections, and don't back down! <br />Big hugs!<br />CharlieThe Incredible Shrinking Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06202138398077072616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-28675221473662854212010-12-07T10:41:10.672-06:002010-12-07T10:41:10.672-06:00You can do it, Laurie!

It's worth it.<br /><br />Jack, maybe someday you'll consider choosing *all* of us and give us weekly goals, tips and challenges? :)Kelly the Happy Texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05141980277979631252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-86811727450209647412010-12-07T09:47:23.522-06:002010-12-07T09:47:23.522-06:00This is a fantastic post, thank you Jack and Lauri...This is a fantastic post, thank you Jack and Laurie.

We're the same height and we started out at about the same weight. I still have another 30 pounds to go, but the pieces are falling into place. Hang tough girlfriend.
