Ok, I signed off too soon! Kerrie, Jackie , Paula and Hilary- hope that you made it over here! We also have a lot of MIA's, some friends from a month or so ago. Hope to see you here too!
Kerrie, I know all about the retirement money thing. It sort of becomes an obsession to some men at times. I try to contrast it with my BIL- who throws away money on all kinds of worthless stuff- he and my sister will probably have to work forever, and then be thankful for my DH. (But who was the nut who invented CNNFN and that other money cable channel. It will drive you nuts or I should say me nuts when he watches it all the time! The 21 day no soda thing sounds like a good thing for you. You have done well before with self discipline, so I am sure that this will work for you too. Soda is a tough one- at least (finally) the fast food places usually have bottled water now, which helps. Good luck!
Jackie- Sounds like this mini get away will be nice for you! I hope that it renews your spirit and gives you the time you need to regroup mentally. You are usually so full of energy (it jumps across the screen at me!) that it is hard to see you a bit down.
Enjoy the break, and not too much of that hard lemonade!
As for me, I will not bore you with my food from yesterday, but I finished ok. I really cannot say what got me started back OP this time- but it is amazing how good I can be one week, and how awful the next. Praise God that I got my desire to lose back- and have been pretty good.
Todays food is (started with a 35 minute walk at 5:20 am )
1/2 bagel (dry, none of that fatty stuff added)
tea (big surprise there!)
1 can V8.
4 or 5 glasses of water
So far I am at 4 points- and DD comes home from school soon, so I will be having lunch soon.
I must admit, this posting my food intake is really working for me (this week, pre PMS time )but who knows what next week will bring! Thanks for bearing with me, you are keeping me honest.
The school bus cometh..........gotta go!
Have a great day!
