I didn't really get started on this journey until two days ago, so I mostly stayed out of the July accountability thread, but this looks like a perfect place to begin!

Good morning everyone! to all our newcomers!

And happy birthday to lili

Even though July ended up with an overall gain for me, I have started this month with a loss. Down 0.8 to 194.7. With some major milestones completed at work yesterday, I purposely left my laptop at the office and spent the evening with Peanut and then at the gym once hubby got home. I had to push through, because I was really tired by the time I went, but I did it. And I have sore arms and shoulders now, good sore though. I'm happy with myself today.

So a little secret I'll let you all in on: we're having an all employee meeting in September and it happens to be the day of our CEO's birthday. So we're doing a flash mob to surprise him. My idea; everyone loved it. Anyway, the point being, he's on vacation this week, so we're having an afternoon dance rehearsal at work! I'm getting paid to get my fitness on. Doesn't get better than that. Oh wait, it does! Monday is a holiday here! Yayyyy.

Thanks Rennie for the new month!!

Lili - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Kukkie - Good start for the month! I am down too - only 0.4 lb, but it is going the right way. Sounds like a fun day at work!

Kukkie, how fun that you get to dance on the clock

Chelainabear, glad to have you join us. Good job on the 5 lbs.

I bought 2 new bras today. The are a size smaller than the last bras I bought, I think this has more to do with cut/style, but I'm claiming it as a NSV anyway.

I'd love to join in!

Lili Happy birthday!!

Kukkie: Well done! I'm not sure I would have had the strength to leave my laptop at work, but that's awesome. And congrats on the loss. You too, jollyjude!

patchworkpenguin: Thank you! Unfortunately, I'm up 1 lb today, but I'm still down overall this week. And nice job with the bras--no matter how you get there, getting a smaller size always feels good.

I made a bad lunch choice with lunch today, it was my mom's 8th anniversary at her job and I took her out to one of our favorite places... and had a greasy plate of fish and chips. I did choose to stick with water and diet soda to drink, which is a small success. Either way, I still feel kind of crappy.

And I'm starting a new job tomorrow, and working 14 hours between the two, so who knows how well I'll do. I'll check in between shifts if I can.

I'm out of town and don't have a lot of time on the computer, so when I get back I'll fill this in and catch up with everyone.
Bold days are weigh in days for me. Stars are exercise days that I plan each week.
