I can't believe how busy it is today compared to how slow it has been for the summer. Tomorrow is registration and I have done nothing by stamp out fires most of today. I think most are out now, with the exception of a few. Whew!
cottage - So good to here that you are back on track and starting with Phase 1. In the diet world, there must be an end of summer resolution time as well as the January 1 resolution time. Get back at it, you can do it.
Jenne - Ok, Jenne, today is serious talk time. Let us know what you are going to have for breakfast tomorrow. Enough of those bagels, now. You really do need to lose that 5 pounds. You still have 7 days to the end of August. I'm challenging you to take those pounds of by the end of the month. I know you can do that.
Historychick - What do you mean it is 88 degrees there? It is cold and rainy here. They finally got the air conditioning working in my office, and with the weather outside, it is mighty cold. The temp got up to 16.5 C in my office. I have been shivering all day. BUT, I'm not complaining to the air guy quite yet. We should still have a warm indian summer and I always subscribe to the fact that I can always put clothes on at work, but there are only so many that I can take off.
kvixen - Congrats on the weight loss - uncongrats on the exercise
I can really empathize what you are experiencing with the exercise. I have worked at a college for 18 years, hubby was here 10 before that - access to the pool, exercise programs, weight room tracks, etc. - is all free. AND I haven't really taken advantage of much. In spurts now and then but not regularly. I am presently doing a 60 minute power walk at lunch everyday, and hope to get a fitness trainer (they are free in January, too) and start to use the weight room then. Sooooo, the bottom line is, if I can get the bit butt off the chair to exercise, so can you. I know the time is always a factor, but you do need to make time for you. You are improtant, too.
Rose - Congrats on choosing SBD to change your WOE. I wish you great luck and bigger successes. Keep us all posted.
RNMOM - I know you can do this. You were only 2 lbs. from goal. Don't let that slip away from you. When I was on WW, I was 5 pounds from goal and I let it all slip away. I'm not sorry now that I have found SBD, but am worried about you. Catch that gain before it beomes 30 - 40 pounds. That's the voice of experience talking. You CAN do this and you are so close.
Me - Well, it has been interesting to say the least. Our DS decided to take one of the puppies to Ontario to the lake for 2 weeks. Sooo, I had to scamper about to get heart worm for him before he went. We are left with the other puppy. She is OK for now, but I'm sure that the lonliness will set in fairly soon. Our schedules have been turned topsy turvey and she will have difficulty with that, as well.
We have also had some hawks hanging around the house, so I am concerned that they are stalking the pups when they are out in the yard. We have been keeping a very close eye of them while they are there.
Tomorrow is student registration and the place is crazy. I look after parking (the most thankless job on a campus) and found out this morning that the contract for one of our parking lot leases finally went through. It is located a long distance off campus, so I had to arrange busing for students to and from the parking lot. Then arrange sales of permits, etc. etc. What a hassle. However, most of the work is done.
I also realized this morning that I need to start to dress like a lady...summer is over, no more jeans, capri pants and Ts. Back to dresses and pantyhose. What a bother. But I did try on the 'small' clothes that I bought at a secondhand store and most of them fit. Woohoo. It is just like having a new wardrobe to start school. I do have to buy pantyhose on the way home, though...up in the morning to stuff those blasted things on.
I also lost survived the weekend with a .4 pound loss. I have been trying to be good and to continue the weight loss. Another few more pounds and I will be on the home stretch. It will certainly be nice to be that far. I have also been doing aerobic exercise since June, so am getting back into physical shape. The whole thing is starting to feel like an entire package. I have my annual medical at the end of September, so I am hoping to be at goal before then. Mr dr. won't be giving me any hassles this time.
Hope everyone has a great evening. I am running really late today. I may not be able to pop in for the next few days - having router probs at home and won't have time at work - so keep OP. I will be back in a few days. Take care everyone.
sounds like back to school is crazy for you!!! hang in there!! we'll miss you while you are gone. don't work too hard!! 
not sure if they are on line or not i'll take a look and let you know.
