Twilightwing, so sorry your trip to the dentist was so traumatic. I have a scar from gum stitches so I know exactly what you mean about an itchy gum. The dentist told me to hold a bag of frozen peas (wrapped in a towel) against my face to help with the swelling.
Dream, I hope everything settles down in your neck of the woods. That would do just about anyone in but you've got a great attitude.
I didn't get in any formal exercise today but I walked, and walked through the grocery stores and mall for about 4 1/2 hours today so I counted that as an hour of brisk walking. Tomorrow is my Last Chance workout before my weigh in on Saturday morning. I don't even know how I'm going to squeeze in any exercise tomorrow because I'm involved in the funeral of my good friend and I've got a ton of things to do. Maybe I'll get in an early evening walk.
Yay, waiting patiently for our Internet guy to come and fix our DSL connection. With any luck, this will be the last dial-up post for me! I did JM NMTZ yesterday, then had to tend to my DH who had a lot going on at work yesterday, so hadn't slept at all the night before. Then, having left work early because he was too tired to function, got stuck on a faulty train and sat on the tracks for an hour. Not a happy camper when he got home!
He wanted Kraft dinner, which we had, but I made sure to give him most of it and only ate about 1/2 C myself. Other than that, yesterday was a good food day and here's hoping today will be even better!
Woke up early and got my workout in before work. That always feels really good. Had a little melt down last night. After I posted in my food log I went and ate junk food. So pissed at myself. I just don't get it I really want to lose weight but I continue to sabotage myself with my eating. Working out has never been my problem it has always been the food. I wish I had some great insight into this but I don't. I know all the cliques...talk yourself out of it or do something else, etc. Which is all great advice but I don't use it. Well enough of my pity party.
OKay, to all the girls dropping pounds and buying those smaller jeans or just feeling smaller...YOU ROCK! KEEP GOING! WOO HOOO

I have this problem as well and I have done a lot of journaling and emotional thinking and have realized there are reasons I have done this to my body, reasons some part of me still wants to be fat, or thinks I need to be fat for very deep, deep reasons. As i deal with those issues it is painful, but the sabotaging is starting to become less frequent. it is difficult to do, but you will get there.
Mornin all! Nothing like getting up at 6 to vacuum the floor, but I guess at least all the powder is cleaned up for when J gets up. Hopefully we will be rid of those pesky lil pests!
Paisley-great job on op day yesterday, I'm sure you'll do it again.
Mary-way to get your exercise in this morning. I'm the same when it comes to eating and exercise. I can exercise its just the eating that gets me, it's just so frustruating. Maybe we can keep each other accountable.
expatter-Congrats on getting DSL
Retire-hope all goes well for you on your busy day.
amouse-3lbs thats AWESOME and a size 16, great job. It feels good buy a smaller size doesn't it.
Better get the lil one up so we can take sis to school. Everyone have a POP!
Good morning ladies!! I hope everyone is well today (or on the mend). It's Friday, and all I can say is *happy dance* oooh, that's a good idea, maybe I'll do some dancing tonight for part of my workout!
So my official weigh in day is Monday, but the scale said 178.8 this morning!!! I was 183.4 on Monday, so you can imagine my jaw about hit the floor. I rushed back in the bedroom and jumped on the bed to wake DH and tell him As long as it sticks through the weekend, I will be so happy to finally say "peace out" to the 180's. It's been since my wedding 3 years ago that I was in the 170's. The funny thing is I haven't done anything special this week to drop that much. I only had 2 workouts and my eating has averaged out to be OP. The only thing I can think of, is I haven't had near as much sodium. So maybe my body finally let go of some of that extra water weight.
Anyway, I am really happy this morning, and wanted to share. I hope everyone has a lovely, OP day!!!
Anybody else watch last years Greys season finale? I balled my eyes out again, even though I knew what was gonna happen. Can't wait til next weeks opener, I'll be sitting in the recliner with my box of tissues.
I'm totally looking forward to the new season! Thank goodness all the shows are almost back on!

You go girl on the Weight-loss and the new jean size!!!! YAY!!!
I've had a couple of OFF days...cramps, no exercise, stress over the FMIL. I am getting myself pulled together today and the first step was a LOW CARB breakfast and I am heading to the GYM in a few. I won't be weighing in until Monday. I CAN fix this....
After a wicked session with my trainer on Tuesday, last night's session was way better - challenging but not brutal! Plan is to hit the gym for at least 30 mins cardio today, tomorrow, and Sunday; any extra cardio or weights is a bonus.
Want another quote of the day? Here's a nice silly one!

I hope everyone is gearing up to have a great OP weekend.
Hey everybody! Sorry I've been almost non-existent, but I just wanted to drop in and wish everyone a happy OP Friday and weekend. Weigh ins are by Monday--let's kick the red team's butt!!
Hello everyone, congrats to everyone who are losing weigt. My scale is showing the opposite, which is really making me mad. Hopefully it will be down by Monday.
Hi girls - I have kinda a cool non-scale victory. Today I tightened up the band on my bodybugg (It's soft elastic) and realized that there is really only about 1 inch of room left for me to snug it up, so I'm going to definately have to order a smaller one shortly. I think they send it out with a "large" one so I guess I'll get a medium.
This is pretty cool because I always have really heavy arms which make me look heavier then I am.
I hope today is better for you! 
GO BLUE TEAM!!! 
that's fantastic!! good for you!
