Okay - I jumped on the scale this morning and it said 174.
174????? I cussed the scale out and jumped back on again... still 174...
GAAAAAAAAH!!! I don't understand this!!! Although this IS the time in my cycle where I usually start to retain water... and I am feeling a little puffy... AND I'm sick and taking medication, which might be making my body wacky...
I'm not changing my ticker. Not yet. I'm going to give my body a few more days and try weighing in again on Monday morning, New Year's Day.
But I am really, really bummed out.

Holyteror - so often it seems like it just doesn't pay to be a conscientious, loyal, hard-working employee, doesn't it? It's the same way around my office, but I'm happy to say that it's gotten better over the past few years. Maybe your workplace is just going through transitions, like ours was?
Jeni - I swear, National Hoodie-Hoo Day is not something I just made up.
Your sister's house sounds a little... cramped??! It's nice of her to watch your kiddos though. Make sure to have lots of Purell on hand!!
Robin - you're having such good days lately, and that's awesome! You're really in a great groove - keep it up!
And thank you for your well-wishes. Yeah, this sick thing is getting old... and hey, I wouldn't mind calling our group "The So-and-So's..."
*~*~*~*~*
Okay - yes, I definitely think that we need to name our group... we seem to have a roster of regulars for these challenges, and I'd love to keep this group going! There's an awesome combination of like-minded (in that we're all about lifelong change), supportive women here, and I enjoy doing these quests with all of you. Of course, we are a group always open to anyone who wants to join us in our challenges - but I would love to see this group of ladies stick together!
And we are all pretty much in agreement for starting a new challenge, so Valentine's Day it shall be.
NOW - we have to get creative. What do we call ourselves, and what shall we call the challenge? If anyone has any ideas, just pitch 'em up and we'll decide what we like best.
My ideas:
1. Women On WEED (we could abbreviate it W.O.W.!): Svelte Sweethearts Challenge
2. Lean-for-Life Ladies: Better-than-Chocolates Challenge
Umm... and that's all I've got so far.
Any ideas from you all out there?
