Courtney--Love the going green theme! As for me, I'm going dark this week. If I want to reach One-derland by the end of the week I gots some work to do so it'll be less computer, more gym for me.

With that lovely ladies, I leave you with today's motivational image:

LOL JayTee! Good luck with your push to onederland! You can do it!

Skinnycow - what kind of puppy are you shopping for? That sounds like a great way to spend Valentines Day!

Courtney - great challenge idea! I'll definitely be thinking green when I'm prepping meals!

Hope everyone had a Great Valentine's Day . . .

Do you ever feel like the world is against you? Right now I sure do! I am determined to get below 240 this week...and I think the outside world is trying to sabotage me! I have done so well this morning. I had my oatmeal and a banana. I had 32 oz. of water. Then one of my customers brought me a medium sized box of chocolates. Yep...sugar and caffeine. Not a good mix for me as a migraine sufferer and trying to lose weight as well! Then...the Girl Scout Cookies I ordered from my friend came in too.

So I am sitting here on my lunch break with a box of chocolates to my right and 5 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to my left. Both have remained unopened...for now.

WILL POWER STICK WITH ME!!!!!!!

On a positive note, I brought my gym bag with me to work. I am going to hit the treadmill at the gym after work today! I need to keep training for that 5K walk in a month! Woot!

well ladies....i just got back from the dr. and i have bacterial pneumonia dr wanted me to go into hospital but i talked her out of it, because we have no insurance, so she gave me a respiratory treatment in office and put me on bed rest for 2 weeks...and meds and no gym

i'm so mad because i have a mission!! the dr was pretty mad i didn't come in before now, because she said that pneumonia only gets worse untreated. sheesh, doesn't she realize no money means no money!! its bad enough to feel sick but to get blessed out too! uggg

so, its back to bed for me and lots of clear liquids and broth, amoxicillian and erythromycin. on the plus side, she said to have someone do the household chores! bahahahahaha um....any volunteers???

courtney....i was going green too, hench my nutritional journal in green but i didn't want to go sick green!! uggg

LETS GO RED TEAM!!
GO GREEN!!

i did see a sign at the drs that said T.E.A.M. means TOGETHER EVERYONE ACCOMPLiSHES MISSiONS

jaytee....that poster is HILARIOUS!!! i laugh out loud everytime i see it!! too funny!!! ok sgt show me what you got this week!! time for you to lead your squad on to V-I-C-T-O-R-Y !!!!!!!

courtney....yeah....those tempataions...they are like in your face...so hide them in a drawer, or go put them in your car...just don't open them!!

madam...i am such a bubble bath chic...as a matter of fact, i bought some today, while i was getting my prescriptions filled....lavender bubble bath ahhhhhh so soothing!! i'll get my soak on later tonight!!

skinny....what kind of puppy did you get??? how sweet!! PUPPY LOVE for valentines day.....if its a boy, name him valentino, if a girl, valentine !!


penautt...love the avatar in your hoodie!! what is that in the photo beside you???

shan....is it still snowing???? brrrrr i am so thankful i live in the south....during the winter...but come mid july and aug...it will be payback! sorry to hear you are sick you must have overdone it on your wild weekend getaway!! rockin it out at the TS concert!! too much yelling and screaming??

canadamel.....how u doing???

betteK....how did things go with your dad?

mybody honey...hang in there for week 6!! you can do it!

Thanks!! I love that new jacket, partly because it's an XL from Old Navy (a bit of a NSV when that fit!). That thing beside me is a historic grain elevator from the museum where I work. It's where farmers on the prairies would take their harvested grain to sell.

At first I was thinking I wanted a toy poodle (nonshedding is a huge plus), but now a mini schnauzer and scottie are both in the mix. It's so hard to decide! Suggestions welcome!!!

Courtney- Keep that willpower going. It might be hard, but no chocolate tastes as good as being in control!!!!!! Just remember that.

I have a bichon-shih tzu mix and he's fantastic. Non shedding, great personality, has enough energy to keep up with some jogging and long walks or play sessions. We compared breeds for a long time before choosing this cross and he was exactly what we were looking for. It helps that he's super adorable too!

Rainbowsmiles - take care of yourself! I hope you're feeling better quickly!

thanks peanutt....im not a happy camper when i am home sick!

omg....your little doggie is ADORABLE!!! whats his name??

Rainbowsmiles! Take care of yourself and get better quickly. No insurance absolutely sucks.


peanutt - That puppy is adorable!

Skinnycow - Good luck choosing your new puppy!

Courtney - Oh no! That means my Girl Scout Cookies will be in soon as well.
Be strong, the momentary taste isn't worth the weight aftermath.

JayTee - Good luck with your push to onederland! The scale better cooperate with all your hard work! Mine is down a lot more this week that the last, but I haven't changed anything, go figure.

Aw, thanks guys. I'm a proud puppy mommy! LOL His name is Charlie and he's going to be 1 year old in a week or so.

Peanutt- Charlie is super adorable. When I was out last night looking, I noticed that so many of the dogs were hybrids like yours!!

Rainbowsmiles- Take care of yourself!!

thanks sindaena...you keep up your terrific work as you are doing so very well!!! rock on sista!!!
ROCK ON RED TEAM!
