michireiko, a book! Wow! See, I can spot those prolific penpeople (unlike myself). It's the nose!

I'm now on double digits. I weighed in this morning and was the same, which is way better than the gain I was expecting. This week I'm not going to get on the scale until weigh day, it really freaked me out this time. Good luck counting up on your days.redballoon , 09-13-2003 01:58 AM
I think we're neck and neck, aren't we? This is one dead heat I'm really looking forward to!

Lucky girl at the middle point already. Do you ever feel like you will just float away drinking all that water??LOLredballoon , 09-13-2003 06:37 PM
It's Sunday morning here and I've got to get off to work again. It's Day 11 for me. Only 10 more too! It seems that once you're into double digits the days fly by. Until then, however, I think they crawl! For all of you in the singles still, keep it up. It gets easier. 
to you for another great save. You are almost there. Only five more days to go! You sound to me like you really have a good handle on things, on knowing what works for you and what doesn't, what the consequences of certain choices will mean for you and whether you're willing to pay for them. Your resolve to come home after a hard day of work and walk on the treadmill is inspiring. Also, I love your attitude to the good foods, the ones that are on your side, in YOUR corner. So many times, we act like it's the junk that is our friend, our comforter, when it's the opposite. You've really got your eyes WIDE OPEN! 
Isn't it a good feeling to see that you CAN do things you set out to do. It's such a good feeling, knowing, really knowing, yes, you CAN. 
: By the way, I realized earlier that I had gotten your name wrong in my last message to you. Sorry about that! I had been looking at it thinking it looked funny and sure enough! I'd written friendsOFfitness. And, no need to thank us (speaking for myself here) for being a help to you. YOU are a boost to us. Thank YOU! friendsforfitness , 09-13-2003 09:35 PM
You are an inspiration. It is good for you to have yourself as something positive to focus on during times like this. Good for you for not beating yourself up for a slight slip, sometimes we just need that moment and sounds like you really needed yours as I'm sure your sister did as well.redballoon , 09-13-2003 10:28 PM
to you for your successful Day 5. (Whoops, said that already, oh well, another pat on the back can't hurt ) We're all in this together, aren't we? Thank God the knocks don't come at the same time for us all though. One's down, the one standing extends a helping hand and around it goes. Good luck and keep strong!

I don't know if I cussed or not today. I don't remember. I asked my husband if I had said a bad word today, and he said "Not that I know of" so I probably didn't. I know I typed the F word, but I'm a writer, it was part of my work!michireiko , 09-14-2003 06:57 AM
