Happy Friday!
Snow day here in southern Mass. Which should be interesting, as my boys have been at each other's throats for a few days now. I'm hoping it's just a phase, but the time-outs every half hour are kind of grating on my nerves! I've tried every distraction trick in the book, they are just at a point where they're seeking each other out to tick the other one off. Le sigh.

Very happy that it's Friday. No students today and nothing but prep time - which for today means I plan on goofing off.
Yesterday was a good day in the household - SV for the wife she is down a total of 10 pounds in 3 weeks - she's still a little sad that her loss isn't as great as mine. But I keep telling her mine was/is an anomaly and out of the ordinary. It doesn't help she is having an absolutely terrible time at work right now and TOM is approaching. But she stayed strong and didn't give in to any temptations.
NSV for me was a coworker I don't see very often noticed I have been losing weight and mentioned it. That in conjunction with my clothes are starting to appear extra baggy was/is an ego boost.
Today is casual day at work so I might blow the dust off a pair of jeans I "retired" because they were too small. They might actually fit now. The day is full of possibilities. Take care all.

Yay for your wife. I hope she realizes that women lose weight much slower than men. It's frustrating but it's a fact of life. You guys have it made!

Ugh! Good luck with that! I don't have kids but the cats are at each others throats lately cause they are going stir crazy too! They've taken to terrorizing the dog (a wussy pitbull) so she's always cringing when they walk by her. She won't even walk down the hall if one of them is sitting there! LOL

Good morning everyone! As I have been spending lots of time reading on this site, I see a lot of you wonderful people mentioning enzymes and probiotics. I am confused. Are both of these recommended or either. What are the reasons for taking them, and when should I take them? Are there recommended brands or sources to get them. Wonderful losses this week...you all really inspire me. Have a great Friday everyone.

I thought this day would never happen to me again. For the first time in 10 years I am back in
ONE-DERLAND.
This mini-goal has been a struggle at 2 pounds a week but so well worth it with all the compliments I'm getting.
Keep Strong everyone....it does get better

Good morning and congrats to all on your great success! I actually managed to lose weight on vacation, a true first for me. I find it is much more difficult to manage everything when on the go, but like Lisa said plan, plan, plan! Hope you all have a great weekend. I am off to do housework aerobics.

Awww, poor baby! I gotta admit, this made me laugh out loud a little . . . hoodlum cats, wussy pitbull . . . there's a cartoon in there somewhere.
Spiritman -- I really enjoy your posts each day, always cheerful and funny. I can relate to your wife, but she must remember that her body is an extremely complex, highly-nuanced instrument designed for many divine things . . . unlike the male body which, in the words of Elaine on Seinfeld, "Is just for gettin' around."
I'm taking myself out for a bit of shopping today . . . not clothes yet, but something . . . something is calling my name . . .I just need to find it. 
Have a good day, all.
P.S. I highly recommend the jicama-as-fried-apples thing cold. I had it for lunch yesterday, and it was lovely. The cold temp made the crunchiness seem more appropriate. There must be a lot of fiber in jicama.

Thank you I do my best. I think the bigger issues for my wife this week are her TOM approaching and just being extremely busy/stressed at work. I did get her to laugh when I called her "droopy drawers" She was changing out of her work clothes and I noticed her panties were saggy - from her weight loss.
On a side note from my earlier post - I was all geared up to try on my less fat jeans only to realize that I had thrown them out last month. So it's on to plan B. Wearing the current fat jeans. I must say I'm really rocking the droopy look myself today.
