Jessica - the actual dress on me isn't quite so cleavage-y. I'm thinking they must have used a good bit of tape on that model to get the baby bottom look they have going.

Thanks for the input guys! I was thinking the same thing - show off the shape at the reunion, be a little more comfortable at the wedding.

Shannon, I agree with what everyone has said already - blue dress for reunion, silver for wedding. And may I say ooh la la! You look great! I hope we get to see pictures of you at the events themselves.

No new dreams to report today.

Wondering if anyone has ever tasted (let alone heard of or seen) pineberries? Pineberries

[traveling michele]

Never heard of pineberries. Did you try them?

I'm a little worried about NOT eating tomorrow! I am fasting for Yom Kippur and I haven't fasted in years. I've had many reasons not to (sick, medications, etc.) but I have no excuse this year and both of my daughters are fasting so I said I'd join them. I am so used to eating and snacking all day long. I am going to temple in the morning with dd (dh is leaving the country AGAIN in the morning). Then dd and I are going to a bridal shower (guess I won't have to worry about being rude when I don't eat the cake/champagne/junk). Then we go back to temple in the evening for more services and then we "break the fast" after sundown. I certainly haven't fasted since losing weight. It should be interesting. I am either not going to exercise or I'll wait until the evening after I eat.

Jessica-- are you fasting? Anyone else?

Cleavage is good.....

EZ, you are such a guy...

Hello everyone! I've been MIA for a while. Still maintaining, though my food has been out of whack this past week. Two words: trail mix.

Shannon, hope you had fun at the wedding and reunion! I have my 20-year reunion next month and am a bit stressed about what to wear. I want to look good but not like I'm trying too hard, ya know?

I did a half-marathon last Sunday. Conservatively thought I'd finish in about 2:15. About halfway through I realized if I kicked it up a notch, I could finish in 2:10. Ended up finishing in 2:08! My second half was a lot faster than the first. I need to learn to run at a consistent pace. I'm doing another in March and my goal will be under 2:05.

OK, off to bed... I'm doing a 21-day challenge to get to bed by 10:30, and I've got 9 minutes left! So hard when there's football on...

[alinnell]

LOL, get to bet by 10:30....I don't think I can ever stay up that late! Of course, I often get up at 4:30, though my usual is 5 AM. I'm usually conked out by 8:30 or 9 PM. On the weekends (if my dogs let me sleep in until 6:30 or 7 AM) I can actually stay up until 10 PM!

That said, tomorrow is a 4:30 wake up call to do my workout. I really need to figure out how I can restructure my life to allow me to sleep until 5 and still work out.....any suggestions?
