LGW Remember when I cut my "staycation" splurging short a day? I was so ready to get back on plan. I started feeling like crap and didn't like what the scale said.
Thanks Jess, do you have a way of keeping track of your calories and exercise? I can easily eat 4 or more slices of pizza, especially pepperoni, sausage, green pepper and onion so good
LGW, I'm excited that you're excited for tomorrow

Hey all!
Starting C25k Week 2 tomorrow! I ran through the rain and the mud tonight like I was G.I. Jane. Nothing can stop me.
Tomorrow's my WW weigh-in so I may be moving that ticker and getting that mini goal. 5% means a manicure, **** I might even throw in a pedicure too.
Love2B That's so cool...Run with it! The less they recognize you the better! It's WORKING! yaaay.
Ona-I still can't believe how hard and long you've worked. Keep it up!
SwimGirl-Still want to hop on the C25K train? We can do it together!
Angie-Sorry ONEderland..does lemon help with sodium?
Mandy-Thanks, that was very helpful. I decided on a brand new outfit for my reward and you're right it's a measly 10 pounds. PSH.
Rennie - Thanks about the picture I have worn a lot of makeup for work for years, so I feel naked without it! Great numbers btw, crossing my fingers, toes and legs for a good WI today! I think there's got to be a balance between being too nice (me) and outspoken to the point where you can hurt people you care about, I'm trying to find a good balance between being nice and NOT letting people walk all over me - which they do. Not sure if I can do the cruise myself, I have a blackout period from November 1 - January 2nd, no vacation during that time. We'll see Lots of things can change in that amount of time!
Jess - running outside can definitely be a challenge - especially when it's -40C! So if I've got a treadmill, it's on! Don't mope around, you know what you did, you had a great workout, and tomorrow is a new day! The great thing about trying to lose weight is that every meal is a new opportunity to make a good choice And you will make all good choices today I am sure!
aka - Congrats on week 2 of C25K! I might start next week, this week is going to be a little crazy for trying to fit it in, especially with TOM , which is kicking me in the booty
I have a short day at work today, yahoo! I just want my bed and a hot water bottle
I think it is gonna rain here today, so no outside run for me today probably. I will either do the treadmill or eliptical at the gym for lunch. Then this afternoon I get to put in 1 1/2 hours at the gym while I wait for my daughter's dance class to finish. I have a 5k to run Saturday at our local community festival. The Wing Dang Doodle and Blue Festival. Chicken wing cook off and blues all day. I am hoping for a personal best for my 5k time.
AKA Way to go on the C25K. That is what really took me to the next level in my weight loss. I had lost around 30 pounds before I started the program in May. Since then, I have added 40 more lost. There is a great sense of accomplishment after you finish every run of the program. When I first started my calves felt like they were gonna explode during those 60 second runs. Just hang in there. Just make sure you give yourself a none run day in between runs. That helped me out. Now I can run one or two 5ks everyday without being sore.
Rennie - I use MyFitnessPal for tracking calories and nutrient info, so I have a good idea of what I need to do today and tomorrow to get back on track. Luckily for me, it wasn't "heavy" pizza. It was a white pizza with no sauce other than the garlic olive oil they use. You're right, it is WAY too easy to eat that much pizza!!! I cannot say the same about broccoli, which is what I should be eating instead, lol.
Aimee - thanks for the encouragement!!! Hope you feel better today - I can relate with wanting a hot water bottle and my bed. lol
GOOD MORNING to everyone!!!
I gained this morning due to my pizza and beer excursion last evening, but I'm betting it's water weight which will resolve in a day or two. Not too stressed about it. Today will be a better day, for sure!!

I am up .4 to 161.2. Hmph! Too much coffee yesterday and not enough water. However, I pulled out my fall/winter stuff and my boxes of 7/8 clothing yesterday. There were only a few items in the 7/8 that didn't fit and I suspect that they are junior sizes and about half of what didn't fit will fit in a month or 2 anyhow. I am officially a size 8, with 2 pair of 7s that fit extremely well. Take that Mr. Stupid Scale!
Angie - The principles of no sugar and low carb certainly work and I don't doubt a person could lose weight eating at fast food places if they did it the way he did, but I can't imagine it's healthy. I'll keep my chicken breast, avocado, and fage, lol. Not that I think you were about to dive into a fast food only diet, can you imagine?
Diana - Yay for sleep!
crainjo - I LOVE boiled peanuts, but they are That festival sounds fun, good luck on your 5K!
Ona - You can do this, just keep at it.
LGW - Way to get back to it! I wonder sometimes if the vacation eating is even worth it at all.
Aimee - I love the new picture!
Rennie - That is awesome that people are noticing!
Jess - Everyone slips sometimes. Don't beat yourself up over it, just get back up and move on.
'Morning. Bring on another work week - it's going to be a crazy one, so apologies now if I don't get around to personals - I'm half reading, just haven't had the chance to write responses.
I'm down 0.4 this morning to 200.9 - but TOM arrived full force, so I'm sure a water gain is in the foreseeable future. Back to work, which means back on plan.
Can't remember who asked about the movie - watched I don't know how she does it on the weekend. I thought it was an okay movie, it wasn't horrible, but I wasn't thrilled about it either. I'm about 80% of the way through the book, and found that the movie didn't do justice to the story. I know there are always going to be differences, but with The Help - I thought either/or could have been done on it's own and it was a great screen adaptation, but this one not so much.
