More website work came in so no cleaning got done. I think I have stopped stressing about the cleaning though. I'm taking Friday off, and although I was hoping to have lunch with a good friend...I think I might just spend my day off cleaning, which is okay, at least it will get done. Right now, I've got a big headache and bad cramps. Auntie Flo is kicking my arse.
1/2 hour of cardio - 2 pauses taken - 1 pauses left - Day 12 completed (thank goodness for taking the stairs at work)
Journal and stay within WW points - 3 pauses - Day 8 completed
Drink 64 ounces of water - 3 pauses - Day 8 completed
50 crunches - 1 pause taken - 2 pauses left - Day 6 completed
2 minutes of planks - 1 pause taken - 2 pauses left - Day 6 completed
5 servings of fruits and veg - 3 pauses - Day 8 completed

Shad - Light work day? Downtime? Who ARE you and what have you done with our Shad? Then I got to your funny comment about the weed and feed, and I can detect our Shaddie's wit anywhere. Thanks for the laugh. I hope I do see some results. I really feel like I haven't exercised "properly" because I haven't gotten to the gym in a long time, nor have I worked up the huge sweat I usually do at the gym. But I am moving and doing crunches and planks so that's counts for something.
Red - ANOTHER weight loss?! Fantastic!
I'm absolutely thrilled for you!! Who cares if most people don't notice...a lot of people don't want to mention perceived weight loss, at least not here in the States, unless it's obvious like 50-75 lbs! Your friend obviously did notice something. You face is thin and looking younger again! That's wonderful!! Be kind to yourself...your skin looks diseased because it is diseased. And I'll bet your body is not ugly. I'd love to be as strong as you! In fact, the other day I was in a store, and the cashier was thin and had a good figure, but she had biceps the size of my wrist (and I have SMALL wrists) - no muscle at all. And her legs were the size of my arms! Now granted, I kind of envy women whose thighs don't rub together and who can cross their legs, but this girl's legs - while proportional to her tiny body, looked like little twigs, again no muscle. Red, take pride in your strength and your muscle and your healthy bones (which are supported by your strong muscles). You are a rock star, girlfriend. And it's obvious what you're doing is working, so keep doing the boring counting, keep working out! You inspire me to keep on keeping on. BTW, I wish I was even close to weighing what I did 5 years ago. Heck, I remember when I used to weigh 145 (going through the breakup of my first marriage) and I felt soooo fat. Now 145 is LESS than my goal weight, and I'm a helluva long way from goal. But as long as I don't give up I will succeed.
Hugs to all,
