Mmm, I'll take you up on a cup,
Cottage! Sounds like a fun baking project! Chocolate and cinnamon make for a very Mexican combo.
Cyndi, I'm SO sorry!
That's just awful, all around. I can't believe a non-profit would act that way, especially with such a long-time employee. "Survivor stress" is a real thing--please do seek someone to talk to (we're always here, but we're not trained!) if you feel really down about this, okay? I LOVED this:

lack of food is not causing any of this and eating won't solve it.
How true that is about so many things...I need to remember it! One of the mods once said something similar when she was feeling sad: "If I overeat, then I'll just be
pudgy and sad."
True that! Take gentle care of yourself and know that a fantastic window is opening for your friend right now.

Ruth, sounds like a GREAT evening and very virtuous indulgence! I wouldn't beat myself up for one moment over that one.
Wish I could see the doggage! How fun!
Schmoo, Ruby Tuesday is my favorite place to eat on plan. I love how many yummy veggie sides you can get. The haricot verts are my favorite.
Rikki, DH just started running a couple weeks ago and did a half marathon with his sisters last weekend. He definitely has the running bug and he's loving it! Mind you, other than doing cardio at the gym 2-3 times a week for a couple months before that, he didn't do any extra exercise. You can TOTALLY do this!
good to have you back,
Stephanie!
Me:
Went for a wonderful bike ride with DH yesterday. It was blissful, though when we got home I couldn't stop sneezing. Something gets into my system when we ride bikes in the spring and I get allergies I didn't even know I had! The air conditioning at work seems to be helping.
Today is the usual--work, gym, and then yoga. However, DH (unwisely) challenged me to a race home on our bikes, with the possible prize for winning being that he'd go with my to yoga (I've been begging him for years...). Guess what? I won!
He's been trying to weasel out of it ever since, but he's going!!!
I can't wait...I know it'll help him (he can barely bend over, let alone get a foot away from touching his toes right now, and he's in a lot of stress at work) and there are even 2-3 guys that go to my class, so it's not as if he'll feel like the only guy in a room of women. I hope he likes it enough to go back...
Have a great day chicks!
