Nice! That is a good problem to have! Congrats! BTW, there is something about your avatar and its "party" essence that makes me wanna pour myself a jack and diet coke....

I am with ya! I would love a healthy mexican pizza, chile relleno burrito or healthy french fries. My BF is the chef in the house. We are currently trying to break out of the habit of old stand bys, and spice it up healthy-like. Challenge before last Melissa had us to a recipe challenge... maybe it will return?

Seriously, this is my best friends life. She was his everything until she got pregnant, and the attention wasn't all his. Stupid boys, don't know when they have FABULOUS staring them right in the face. Sheesh

...As for me - I had a REALLY rough day yesterday... well actually Joe did - but it effects us all. He had to quit his job yesterday. His manager is pretty much a complete @ss - and he took some complaints to him in regards to the way that all of the employees are being treated - and the guy told him to F* off... for a Manager to say that is completely uncalled for. So Joe then took it to the owner - and he then just brushed him off like it didn't matter. It really sucks that My hubby stood up and became the voice for 15 people and completely got burned for it - but the crap that was happening was completely wrong, not to mention illegal (working 10 1/2 hours with NO break - getting yelled at for using the bathroom etc. etc.) Joe's going to be talking to the staffing agency that staffs all of their employees today... it's just a mess! .........UGH! Being a grown up is HARD WORK!!!
Hard work, but rewarding. Life is what happens while you are "planning" it you know. He did the right thing. Somewhere a door just opened up for you both!

I don't post a lot, but I think about all of you each day, especially as I'm sweating on the elliptical or making a wise choice for food...
It takes a virtual village sometimes, and I agree with Jenny - I am thankful for everyone here too!

My GF & I got in a bad car accident about a month ago.... I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on some at-home exercises/free weight exercises I could do that wouldn't be quite as strenuous.[/quote] So sorry to hear about your accident... Hope you are fully on the mend soon. in the mean time, I would even consider using soup cans for arm weights, or no weights at all and at least "going through the motions" of some of the exercises you used to do. Just a thought.
Whew.... lots of catch up for me tonight. So, I am packing for Havasu (Again, I know) Supposed to be about 85 to 100 there over the next 3 days. Huge fluctuation, but all hot nonetheless. Not looking forward to bearing my lumpy white legs in shorts. Here are my pics for my goal pants. Size 12, but SUPER stretchy, and I hope to lose some booty and gut in the next 6 weeks. I bought these Monday, small on purpose, FOR THE PURPOSE!!! Here we goooooo..........
