Yay! It's the weekend!!
First off, a big "Happy Birthday!!" to Theo'sgirl! Hope you have a great day -- you deserve it! I can completely relate to your gain. My weight has been up for the last two weeks for reasons I still don't understand. But, I really think it has to do with not enough water. On the weekends, I tend to drink too much Diet Pepsi and not enough water. Then, it spills over into the next week. So, I upped my water, and the scale seems to be going down. Also, I think some of the gain could be muscle. I recently started doing Pilates, and I can already tell I'm getting muscles! Yipppeee! Of course, muscle weighs more than fat so that leads to a gain. I guess we both just need to stick to it! Like Leens said, the weight will eventually come off (however slow that may be....).
Leens: Stay warm! I just saw on the local news here that people in NY took out a cup of boiling water, threw it into the air and it was frozen before it hit the ground -- now that's cold!! Of course, it's easier to watch that with 75 degree temperatures here!
BizzyLizzy: Good idea on the rec center -- great for you and the kids!
Spedmom: I know what you mean... it's really easy to go back to this WOE. I never have the dreaded feeling of "Oh, I screwed it all up, I might as well not worry about it anymore." Now, I can't wait to get back OP. Lke Lekker said, it's not deprevation. We get to enjoy lots of fabulous foods and still lose weight -- it's wonderful!!
Lekker: I haven't seen "Big Fish." It looked like a different movie from the previews. Cool deal about the free passes! I want to see "Something's Gotta Give." Has anyone seen that yet? We rented "SWAT" for tonight. I just love Collin Ferrell! I wanted to get "Out of Time," but the video store was all out. So, I got a rain check to rent it free! I'm all about free stuff! I also rented a collection of "Sex and the City" episodes. I've never watched it, but heard tons about it, so I thought I'd check it out.
Star: Have fun at your parties!
Khem: Welcome! Glad you're here! I look forward to getting to know you!
Thanks for the advice and sweet words about my puny raise. I talked to my boss about it, and he said he doesn't think the raise should appear on my paycheck until my next one. So, there's still hope! But, HR said that was my raise. And, my boss mysteriously couldn't get to my file when I asked what I could expect for a raise... hmm... is he trying to avoid telling me that "Yes, you actually got a $27 raise per paycheck." I sure wouldn't want to tell anyone that after making such a big deal about the promotion...
Well, I'm off to do some long-overdue cleaning and laundry. Fun stuff! DH is working, thank goodness. He is in a very pissy mood -- not a fun guy to be around! I can just take out my aggression on scrubbing the bathtub.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
Take care,
Jina
