Chelle - I must have missed the mail carrier on Friday, your package is still at our front desk waiting to go out. I should have checked, but I thought I'd gotten it there in plenty of time. Please don't aim that whip at me. I started and finished Dark Lover yesterday. Very good!
Anna - I'm with you on ditching the inlaws. I tried to go along and play nice for years before I realized that they really didn't want me there any more than I wanted to be there.
Nori - Southern food is a killer. I could have passed up BBQ, but pecan pie is a huge temptation for me. All sugar though, so I try to say no....mostly.
Vanessa - If I'd have gone through the amount of stress you've gone through during this challenge, I would have stress ate myself into oblivion. You've done great!
I had to post a huge gain, and even though I know it's TOM, it's still disappointing. I've been up since 4am with a minor backache that won't go away. I really need to get back on my vitamin regime, it minimized the effects of pms. As it is now, I'm popping Midol. At least I managed to get a lot done while I wasn't sleeping. I went for a walk, transplanted my zucchini and snow peas, did more dished, planned my food. I'm productive but sleepy.
Is anyone else watching the Paul McKenna show on TLC?

That would be heaven to me! Instead, she wants to be my friend, and I have to blow her off.

Do you see my pic over there at the left? That pretty much gives you all the information you need about my ability to rap. I have tried. It is just sad.
Okay....so, I had to use freebie #2. My weight gain was under a pound, but it's still a gain....grr. Actually, I'm not too upset by it because I am due to get my period today or tomorrow. I've been killing it at the gym this past week, and I'm out of my funk. I met with "my simon" (my personal trainer) and we did all my measurements and stuff today. Oh well, all I can say is that it can only get better from here on out. I'm so excited to start working out with free weights, and we meet for my first session on Saturday.
I hope everyone is doing well....I've been so busy with work the past few days. I'll check in later so I can read back and see what everyone's been up too. I'm off to take my 15 year old daughter to the doctor for a physical.
Have a great day ladies....I'll be back in a while. Lisa
Karen, you have totally rocked this challenge! Congratulations.

No spoilers! Chellez, I was so excited when Zadist's book came in the mail today I had a delightful lunch break and read the first 7 chapters!
Okay...call me dense..I'm having a typical brain dead Monday....but, I totally missed the whole thing with Anna and Ice-T. Are you trying to say that she wears baggy pants?
I've had an on-plan breakfast, snack and lunch...but, I'm already making excuses for not exercising. This mental block is getting annoying. What's the big deal. Its only an hour out of my day and I can do it right here in my own house.
I knocked out 30 minutes this morning after getting the kiddies on the bus. Treadmill walking with interval sprints. YahoO! Makes the whole day feel so much better even if it's gray & cloudy here too.
I dub thee Ice-Tee

Unplug your ears ... I've been done for quite a while now 
... enjoy it. It wasn't my favorite though. I love Zadist
