Hey everyone! Down yet another pound this morning. Only two more to go for the month. I just hope I can squeeze those two in. You ladies have a great day!

Delphi - You'll get there be patient...didn't you make it to the beach? PM Eny and tell her so you can get that awesome sticker!


Eny - That is the coolest sticker...I can't wait till I make it to the beach...I'm sooo close I can taste it!

Sorry for being silent for probably 2 weeks now! I have been weighing in (go Rebels!) but I've just been busy some days and PMS-y other days.

Last week was ROUGH weight-loss-wise... I went to a meeting/retreat (luckily right here on campus) Tuesday to Thursday, so there was constantly food, wine, beer, etc around. The one constant was fresh fruit, they had that at every single meal/snack, so I ate a lot of fruit, but also a lot of desserts. Of course, evening events meant no real exercise for a few days. Friday I was dedicated to being back on track.. and then we went out to a bar to celebrate a lab-mate getting a paper published, and I had 2 beers (pints - I'm tiny, that's a lot for me) and a little popcorn... then promptly came home and did a workout DVD. I was still sore yesterday... turns out I work a lot harder when I'm a little tipsy, lol. Not that I'm recommending it!

Well, I've got a lot of work to do... we have an undergraduate working in the lab for the summer, so I have to answer questions and show him how to do things, and somehow get my own work done at the same time.

Just a note - the fireworks Sticker that I sent to Jaque9999 was for hitting her July 4th goal NOT for making it to the beach.

If you HAVE made it to the beach PLEASE PM me and I'll send you a sticker for that too! (It's just different then the fireworks.

Yeah, been at the beach for awhile now, but that's cool about the sticker. I have a little OCD and the sticker would offset my signature, which would in return screw with my OCD of proportions. Yeah, I know I'm weird.

Keeping a seat warm for you ladies. Free drinks on me.

Eny, we missed you and were concerned. I hope everyone and everything gets better.



I completed my 100 mile today in my watp goal I had set in February!
My new goal for the rest of the year is 120 miles watp.

PM on it's way!!! I didn't know I would get another one...

I COMPLETELY understand the OCD thing...but I still like my siggy....do you think it's too much? I should get rid of some stuff I guess...or is okay for you guys to look at? Don't want to take up more space then I'm allowed to.

Hey everyone! I just updated my exercise minutes! I have less than 400 miles/minutes to go to get to the beach. I won't make my weight loss goal...but mainly cause my start weight changed so much...but that is okay! I will make it to the beach with time to spare!

Jacque - I love the fireworks sticker! I think it is the best sticker Eny has had yet! I think Delphi was just talking about her signature and that she likes it a certain way....I think yours is fine...

If you binge on the weekend, maybe monday would be the best weigh in day, so that on the weekends you could remind yourself that you'll have to face the scale very soon.

I'm still moving along, I think I'll have the last of my exercise minutes today. It's only a little pinch away. With a little poor planning I was super hungry when I left the house today, and ended up stopping at taco bell. I didn't kill my calories for the day, but it's a little sad since I've been doing so well this week. Oh well, move on and move forward.

Edited to add: Looove the sticker... I want one. I must work harder

Jacque ~ Oh yeah, I don't have issues with other people, just proportions of my own. Like the salt and pepper shaker have to be exactly in the middle of the table and if I add condiments to the table, they have to be the same distance away from the middle as others. I'm like that with every thing just sitting around. It's really annoying, but that's just a quirk of mine.

You guys are awesome. I sort of wish I had that kind of issue, instead I'm just messy, and when things are too perfect, I like to move one thing out of place.

I've made it to the beach!!! Yay! I finished my exercise minutes for the challenge.

Jacque ~ That's neat. I do the same thing with my can goods as well.

sprklemajik ~ Haha you have it, just the opposite. I suppose at the end of the day we are all normal, but just have little things that we put our own spin on. I knew this guy who would sleep with his shoes on if it was storming. It didn't really bother me, I guess if he put up with my OCDish things then I could handle the boots. Oh and on getting to the beach darling, have a seat and let the hot sexy men serve ya drinks.

Hi girls.

Still here. Home life and work are breaking me down at the moment. Still haven't caught up on the threads, but wanted to say I'm around and I hope to be back here at latest on Friday ~ my day off ~ to reconnect.

Have a good day.
