Good Morning Ladies
Today is going to be a great day!!! I had a hectic weekend. The fridge went out Saturday after we returned from the grocery store and then later that evening the A/C went out. Talk about miserable. So we called the landlord and told him about the fridge earlier that day. He said he'd get a new one on Sunday and any food lost he would replace. Ok cool. We waited until Sunday Morning to tell him about the a/c. Then I went to see about the food in the fridge and what do you know it's working. GO FIGURE. The a/c was repaired the latter part of yesterday...about 6pm and it was hot as the devil...thank heaven for ceiling fans.
I have three more pounds to go to reach my birthday goal. I'm hoping to reach it by this weekend and have room for a little extra for my birthday, because surely for that day I will splurge. I'm looking forward to this week because my birthday is getting close. I LOVE BIRTHDAYS ESPECIALLY MINE!!!
LemonZest - Thanks. It's my goal to encourage everyone including myself. As for the weigh in during TOM, I see where I am and ride it out, hoping for the best. It's the hardest time for me because I get all kinds of cravings and will over eat if I don't satisfy them.
Ann - It doesn't seem like you have done any real damage. Chalk it up and keep going.
Emme - Hope you have a great week as well. Stay focused and make great progress.
Envelope - Sounds like you are on track and goal is in reach!! Let's keep it going!!
BigCheif - The funny thing about my director (but not so funny) she thinks as the director she has a say in everything from if we have panty lines, why we should wear pantyhose, to when I've lost enough weight. I just look at her and keep it moving. I do me. As long as there is no complaint about my work or something having to do with my job I could care less. I just let her know where I stand and I keep standing.
Today's Nugget: I once heard it said that your presence should demand an explanation. When you walk into a room people what to know how you do what you do. So as we are working on our health let it demand an explanation how you are looking and feeling GREAT!!
!! My coworker that sits in the cube behind me got in cahoots with her and making the whole yum sound and talking about how good they were. I told them they were doing way too much but I still wasn't going to eat one. Even though they were small I refused to eat one. Then I said you know what I will take one for my daughter. My director knows that I don't allow my daughter to have candy and sweets on the regular. So she said, "You know you aren't going to give her that cupcake because you don't let her eat junk"! I said, "Yes I do but it's sparingly and since it's Friday it won't matter if she's up late and it will be only after she eats her dinner." So I took one and put it in the fridge. Well I walk to the bathroom and there on the table where the guest would sit is a box of oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookies. I was like she is going overboard now. So I asked her why she was putting out all this junk food when she knows most of us don't eat it. She said, "It's Friday and as much as you workout an indulgence won't hurt you"! At this point it became a battle of wills for me. I let the rest of the office "indulge" but I was going stand my ground and I did. In one of the daily nuggets I was encouraging you to stand for your health. Well I stood and I was victorious!!
I was so proud of myself. It made it better for my loss this week as well. Even though I post the nuggets I use them too.
.. you have proven yourself to be in control! you're doing great jiggle, & thank you for these yummy nuggets 
to everyone else if I missed anyone. Here's to a great OP day!
