Good morning!
Natasha, great new photo!
Debbie, I'm glad you've been able to finalize your plans, and I know you'll find ways to make the best of your 'different' summer. *hug*
Congratulations, Cyndi!
I'm so glad all the long hours and hard work paid off!
Good morning Tammy! I think you ought to have t-shirts made for you and your DH - "Fast" and "Faster"
I am so glad that it's finally the last day of a really, really long work week!
It's the last day of kindergarten screening today, too. I always look forward to meeting the new students and their families, but it's way more stressful than the normal school week. And there is junk food EVERYWHERE.
I've decided that I'm going to go back to 145 - 150 as my maintenance weight. I was much happier maintaining in that ball park. I had to pay attention but didn't feel like I was always dieting. Part of me feels guilty about throwing in the towel but 135 - 140 has been stressful and much more work than I ever expected. I'm 53 and my weight has hovered between 180 and 200 for most of the past 2 decades so I am content to live with a thicker waist and arms for the more rewarding and relaxing routine that worked so well before. (And best of all, after all these weeks/months of struggling and feeling badly about being a bit above my planned weight - now I'm below it again.
)
OK, I feel much, much better now that I've made that decision! One less thing to stress over. I wonder if there are other things on the list I can solve so easily....
Enjoy your Friday friends!
Good morning ILR PinkGirl, congrats on signing up for the 5k! I smiled when I read about your apple, it's amazing how great fruit tastes when you haven't had any for a while, eh?
