Stella - Omg, that sounds amazing, I'll have to give that a try!

I... need to find workout pants with draw strings. The pants I put on today fell off when I was doing my C25K. After C25K I did Cheryl Burke's Disco Abs and that was fun :D I also ordered DWTS Latin and Cardio dance DVDs, as well as Dance off the Inches: Country Line Dance (OMG I LIVE TO LINE DANCE, this shall be fun :D). I found them all on amazon for REALLY cheap. I <3 Amazon.

Platform: I love to dance, period. I SUCK at it though LOL. My rythmn = -51561685163174. I have promised myself that once I lost some more weight that I would pick up a dance class. I took one in college for credit it was the funnest 2 hours of my week.

Stella: That recipe sounds delish! I might have to try that one myself and I am usually not an apple person.

I am glad I am not the only one who like soup. It makes me all warm inside LOL.

Work today is not so bad I have been pretty productive. I am starting to get a slight headache though I would assume the staring very intently at my computer screen would be doing that. I am going to see my grandparents tonight after work.

Hopefully when I get home I wont have to make dinner. I walk in the door last night and my dad who has been home all day asks: So what are you making me for dinner? I could have spit nails cause it was like 7pm and I had already gone to the gym and put 9 hours in at my job. I hate living at home sometimes.

Bee - I love to dance to! I used to be a Celtic dancer and I did jazz with all of my years in theater LOL. I'm really excited for the DVDs to come :D

I am off to do some classwork (blerg!) and enjoy my mommom's homemade soup for dinner yum!!!

I deem Tuesday Jennierose's take a bath and pamper herself night, complete with (way too expensive) bath products from Lush.

I'm done with my points for the day, otherwise I would have been tempted to throw in some wine, but nah.

I just bought new pj's from VS, and yes, they were expensive, but I haven't bought pajamas in so long and they're SOOOOOO soft. I got one of those sleep shirts and silk lady boxers. Yes, I'm sleeping alone, but I'm kind of being "feng shui" with my pjs and my underwear. I used to get such CUTE underwear, all lacy and silky, and then I gained weight and stopped. So I'm officially back on the cute underwear/pj's bandwagon. If I wear it, they will come? No, maybe not the same, but it encourages positive thinking :) :) :)

Stella - Lol :hug: Yay on pampering yourself :D And yay on new pjs! You should post a picture of them in the photo album! I looove girly boxers and nightshirts (guy inspired, but chick chiq!). I'm all about really girly underwear, too hehehe :D The lacier, the better! I looove Aerie by AE, they're like PINK by VS, but a little more affordable.

Haha, the shirts are actually way long, so I don't need the shorts. I mean I'm alone, so I really didn't need them anyway, but they're kind of like a shorter long sleeved dress. So comfy. The cat likes them. I was sitting on the couch and she was all up on me purring. Lesbo-cat. I think she's in attention withdrawl. She no longer has 4 boys catering to her attention needs at every hour.

Lol, that's totally how my cat is - but she's always like that. She's my crabby old wife that needs to be touching one part of my body at all times. And my knitting. And be sitting on my fresh clothes lol. She follows me around like a dog, and when I leave the house she goes downstairs and causes trouble with my other, younger cat lol. She's just a crabby old lady hahahaha

I like nighties. I've turned my tunic shirts that are too long to be a shirt, but too short to be a dress into nighties. I have a bunch that are everything from the laciest and girly-est thing you can imagine (for nights with the boyfriend lol) to just simple cotton ones for when I'm by myself.

Haha...YES

Isn't it amazing how cute underwear can make you feel sexy? Last night, I went to bed in an old boyfriend's t-shirt and boy shorts and for the first time felt like he was missing out.

I have a lingerie problem it will make me broke one of these days. I like it all undies, bras etc etc etc.

Pammy: Thanks! I know ... I wish I knew the magic formula for what it is I'm doing on those "bad" days that I lose weight :)

Everlasting: Ha, ha good idea :) Sadly I only like to do active things with people ... and the people around me are not very active :faint: ... Congrats on getting down to 186! :)

Isn't it funny how cute underwear can make you feel so good? I just wear cheap whatever ... but now that I'm getting married soon I'm inspired to buy some cute stuff ...

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty postivie that I stand taller on cute-underwear-days :lol:

Stella- :rofl: on the "If I wear it, they will come" attitude. My favorite pair of pj pants were from VS...not sexy, but the softest things in the world and i am bummed to this day that i somehow lost them in college.

platform- i don't know about line dancing, but I loooove contra dancing and I imagine they're sort of similar. Or like contra dancing is step dancing and line dancing combined, plus a bit of jane austen thrown in. I haven't been to one since college, but I really need to start going again.

I had the best workout tonight. I have been a little hard on myself lately for not keeping up with my running, but I'm trying not to worry about it and instead focus on just doing exercise that I enjoy doing, so tonight instead of running I got on the elliptical bc I've been really enjoying it lately since I got back into listening to music while I work out. (I broke my ipod a while back so haven't been listening to anything, but I've started listening to Pandora on my blackberry and omg the black eyed peas station is the best for working out.) Anyway, I was only going to do it for 45 minutes or so, since Tuesday is my off day, and only at a comfortable heart rate--nothing major, just building up my aerobic base. I ended up having so much fun, with my music and my Self magazine and hitting my aerobic sweet spot (160bpm for me) that I ended up staying on the thing for 90 minutes, until the gym closed. It felt soooooo good :)

I have not been too good with going to the gym so far this week. I went Monday after school although I was utterly exhausted!!! But I couldn't go yesterday because I had staff meetings after school and then I went on a date. LOL It was alright, kind of fun.....but kind of awkward near the end. And today I have class after school, so I probably won't get to go then either. Maybe I'll throw in "Sweating to the Oldies" or something from Exercise TV when I get home. It will already be pitch black out...so I can't go for a walk/jog :(

Whheeeee!! Guess who's wearing size 14 pants to work today for the first time in about 10 months?! Oh yeah - this girl!!! Plus a top that I haven't been able to wear in a long time that was too tight around the waist.

Plus, I sneaked a peak at the scale yesterday (I usually only weigh myself on Mondays) and it said 180.4!!! I am so close to the 170s, I can almost taste them :)
