Okee .. Ive been a bad girl today .... not cheating on the food .. just didnt do any exercise .. thats 2 days in a row .. hummm .. ok .. well .. tomorrow is another day ... I think its the weather .. I just want to snuggle up under a blanket when the weather is yuck (not to mention my knee and ankle always hurt most in rainy weather). BUT tomorrow its back to boogie .. that 185 target this month is slipping away .. never mind .. Im still going down .. even if it is slowing down lol ..

Okee .. my positives ..

1 - My lambs are enjoying all this rain and now their woolly coats are all lovely and snowy white (saves me having to give them a bath lol).

2 - I only have about 2 days worth of work on my mums cross stitch for her birthday next month (cutting it fine cos I have to get it framed yet lol) .. will take a piccy when I have finished it.

3 - I stopped myself after 6 of the little sugar free cookies ... could have had the whole pack cos Im so far under my cals .. but then I wouldnt have anything to dunk tomorrow rofl.

4 - I got to watch my fave tv shows today for a change (I usually forget they are on until too late rofl). Does anyone else watch Starting Over?? Talk about a lot of lightbulb moments watching that show .. and I watch it with Ash which is really starting to open a great channel of communication while we discuss a lot of the issues on there which may affect us too.

5 - My daughter cooked us a lovely dinner tonight all on her own .. marinated pork schnitzels (no fat and cooked on the cooking paper), mixed vegs and pasta with sauce (which I havent had for MONTHS!!) In all it was just under 600 calories and it was sooooo yummy And Ashleigh enjoyed the appreciation too So I got to boost her self-esteem.

Okee .. sooo thats me for today ... no real news lol ..

How do you catch an elephant??

Climb up a tree and act like a nut!!

Love and Laughter everyone!

Good Morning ladies!
Its very cold this morning. I am too cheap to turn the heater on yet so sweaters & socks it is.
Got in 95 mins of exercise yesterday & surpassed my October goal!

Alice: Congrats on your cooking NSV. I am not a very good cook either but I can throw together some pretty good stuff. I have had some awful turn outs too though.
Good luck on your weigh in!

Misti: Hooray for overtime money! Just don't work too hard!

Wezi: at your boogie joke.

Kayley: Congrats on your new paralegal course! I'm sure all the work its takes to make it happen will pay off in the end.
Also congrats on your PJ NSV.

Valerie: Sorry you are still having a hard time recovering from the popcorn ball incident. All we can do is keep trying.
Congrats on your advances with your horse & your driving. Those should be definite incentives.

Melissa: at your weigh in!

Katt: at your joke, but I always heard thats how you catch a squirrel. Works either way.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Val - I'm sorry you're having such a hard time with the whole popcorn ball incident. You're doing so marvelously, though...you just have to keep reminding yourself of that! Dressage is the goal! You're going to DO THIS!!!
Thanks for the congrats! I'm SO excited. May can't come SOON ENOUGH!

Just wanted to pop on and say good morning. Had some school work to do, but I'm fairly caught up now, and just getting ready for work. It's Andrew's birthday today...he's 22. We've also been together for 22 months as of today, and it's 2 months to the day until our 2 year anniversary! LOL. Lots of 2's!

ok, ok.....i am so excited! you all can't see me, but i am totally dancing around the house! in fact, it's a little bit like having ants in my pants to have to sit to type this! i got to move my ticker! i weighed myself about 10 minutes ago and i lost 3 pounds this week, even after having such a bad gym week last week. i am so excited, i can't even tell you the last time i got on the scale and it had gone down and not up! getting to change the ticker is such good motivation for me! so exciting!!

i just skimmed through the new posts, so i'll have to go back and read after this, but i'm glad to see that there were some laughs from the joke. i'd never seen this before i moved to st. louis, but the kids here will tell you a joke on halloween to get their candy. so, the newspaper printed up a bunch of them, and i'm thinkin' i'll try to sneak a joke in now and then to keep us all smilin'!

anyway, just wanted to post this really quick. gotta go dance around some more, then get back to work! take care, lori

way to go is feels so great to move the ticker down! congratulations!
