Good evening! Another fast weekend! They always go by so quickly! I'm in a much better mood and not quite as stressed as I was last week. I realize in the grand scheme of things, water damage to my floors is not that big of a deal, I just am not in the mood to have another improvement project so quickly after having the bathroom done. I've talked with my insurance guy and need to get an estimate to see if a claim is necessary.

On a positive note, I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in quite a while. She was very complimentary about how I looked. Really made my day!

Hope everyone has a good week! Thanks for posting everyone! You inspire and motivate me!

I had a conversation with Hubby about my weightloss or lack thereof. I want to lose weight but I don't seem to be doing anything about it. I exercise sporatically, and watch what I eat to some extent but I know I could be doing a much better job. I lost almost 10 lbs when I first started in July but gained it and a few other lbs back. I keep losing and gaining the same few lbs with no real progress. I realize something is wrong here but I can't figure what the 'real' problem is; possibly I feel unmotivated to lose because I think I will just gain it back. Maybe I just don't care enough to try too hard. I certainly have the time to exercise I just don't have the motivation and I have learned the the exercise is good but if I don't watch what I eat I'm only breaking even.

Any suggestions welcome.

Have not felt that great this weekend. I have been badly nauseous and bloated feeling for a couple days now. If I don't feel much better in the morning I will call the doctor. I think I might be having a medication reaction because I don't have a fever or chills or a cold.

I hope everyone has a good start of the week! :carrot:

OMW - I don't think I would be ready for another project either. I'm not even ready for the one we have planned. I was going to have a couple more estimates done for the bath and haven't. At this point I think we will hold off until spring. We have decided to to the bedroom at the same time and will move EVERYTHING in to the sunroom. Not the place I want to sleep during the winter.

Hydra - I sure hope you feel better. A call to the doc is a good idea, especially if you think it is a reaction to meds.

Marie - I'm going to look a the pup pictures now, I'll be back to comment.

Can't say that I'm very happy with the scales, only a .8 lb. loss for a week of sticking to 1400 calories and working out six days. And no whoosh from TOM either.

Keep trying..... I too have lost the same 10 lbs. for many months now and the one thing I can say for sure is I don't want to go back to the way it was. I feel so much better and love being active. I know if I don't watch it those 10 lbs. will become 20, 30, or even more.

Marie - Looks like Sasha will be right at home in no time. I have to tell you all your dogs are beautiful but Kai especially caught my eye.... simply stunning.
