We've finally had some rain (yesterday and today). Much needed.

We're in town for a couple of weekends and I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend.

Got an interesting package in the mail yesterday. It was my wallet that was stolen out of my purse in Philly. The cash and the phone card was missing but everything else was there. There was a note that said the 'bike can man' found it in a trash can in front of the Mariott hotel and that the police tried several hotels in the area to locate me.....very interesting considering it was written in poor grammer on the very note I left at the restaurant with my name, hotel and room number. So I'm positive it was the busboy!!!

I don't think I ever told you all about me losing my diamond tennis bracelet last February.....I got an interesting call from a gallery in FL , they wanted to know if I send diamond tennis bracelets with every order of glass!!!


Take care and enjoy the weekend. - jul

Rabbit, I needed to hear your pep-talk! I went to the store today and bought all new food so that I can regain that control you're talking about. I know I'm capable of taking care of myself, so why aren't I doing a better job? I'm tired of making excuses for myself. Thanks for the wonderful post.

HELLO!!

It is nice to be home on the weekend - this A.M. I sent myself out for a walk - even though it is already very humid. I feel good about it.

I made ds cookies on Thursday night and I'm happy to say I did not eat one yesterday. I had him take them to his room so I didn't have to see them and be tempted all the time. So I did it. I actually laughed in the face of the cookies.

I slipped up on cashews that dh brought me. An obstacle that stopped me - MOMENTARILY. Because I am moving on.

Tech - Hope you get all of those envelopes addressed!

Jul - Wow glad you got your wallet back and very very happy for you that you got your tennis bracelet back!

Sonya - You're welcome! You are right, we are very capable. I'm very tired of the excuses that I make also. I'm too easy on myself. It all stops now. I'm sending good luck wishes to you.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Forgot a couple things.

My mileage - 485.6 miles.

And my stats. I'm thinking posting them all of the time will help my focus.

Hi All,

WOW, I think this is the longest I've ever gone without posting here!! Hahaha... I'm still pretty busy, but I have a few minutes to try and catch up/fill in!!

I have been horrible the past two weeks, not being OP. I tried to write stuff down, but I was not consistant. I don't think the damage is too bad, after stepping on my scale naked this AM. I have not been to WI in two weeks, so I will definitely be going back this Wednesday. I'm hoping for no more than a 1 lb. gain...and if I can stay on track, maybe even a break even, or loss!! My home scale is showing a 1.3 gain. I cooked a crockpot full of chicken, brown rice, and veggies yesterday, so that'll give me lunch all week...and probably dinner tonight! I'm also hoping it gets hot again so that I can go swimming after work!

Terri- I'm soo happy to see you back!! Now...stick around. I may not have tons of time to post, but I'm always trying to find a minute here or there to read!!

Tech- Have not gotten any bike riding in since that ride! Gee, maybe tonight, since it's gonna be cool, we can ride! Will see how DH is feeling. Hope the lobster is now tan!! Hope things work out with the dress...DH and I are the biggest procrastinators I know...a very bad thing!! Hang in there!! Oh, how was the Kenny Chesney/Tim McGraw concert? I would've loved to see them when they were here!

Karen- I got this really soft, gel-ish cushy seat, and I love it!! Hope all those veggies and fruit kept you OP!!

Vicki- No, the pile has not moved...still finishing up other stuff before I hit that F/U pile!!

Pryia- Hope things have picked up at work for you!! I have not forgotten how hard it is to sit there and try to stay off the internet, yet entertain yourself all day, when there's NOTHING to do...not even stuff you can make up!! UGH!!

Jul- Weird about the wallet!! Funny about the bracelet!! At least they were honest with you!! Didn't your DH buy you that bracelet for losing some weight?!

Rabbit- Good for you laughing at the cookies!! Cashews are rough...what was DH thinking?! Keep up the good work!!

OK, really have to get some work done!! Have a great day all!!! Hi to everyone!!

LBH: That bracelet was a 10th anniv. gift. I did get a gold bracelet for losing some weight. I was going to get one for every 10 lbs but after getting the diamond bracelet I decided I didn't want too much rattling around on my wrist.

Currently I'm trying to think of something nice to reward my self with, I'm 28 lbs down from my all-time high (29 inches down). I took my measurements last night for the first time in 6 mts.
214/186/big goal 165

Rabbit: I enjoyed your 'peptalk' too!


I fit into a pair of shorts that I haven't been able to wear in a long time. I'm feeling so much better about myself....and my husband says he can tell.

We saw Planet of the Apes last night. Mainly I wanted to see it because I sort of know the artist who made the oil lamps that were used as part of the set (table scene and dying dad scene). I hated the ending because they left it wide open for Ape 3.

Take care, jul

Guess we should start a new week.
