Happy Saturday!
Another birthday and the office party down, one birthday to go. I did fine at the birthday at an itialian place...had the chicken ceasar salad (which was darn small considering the $7.00 price). The office dinner party took some planning...I ate some salmon and peas & corn before we left, so I wasn't starving when I got there. I drank only diet coke (I'm not a big drinker, so no loss there), and then chose small portions of only those things I really wanted (i.e., skipped the red potatos, corn muffins, etc.). I did try one of each of the 3 desserts, but kept my portions small. I didn't feel deprived and I felt really good about myself. I have no idea how many calories I consumed, but it wasn't outrageous. I haven't weighed today, as the scale is lying to me right now. I'm afraid to confess to some of you ladies who gain a bunch of weight during TTOM because I always lose 1-3 pounds during TTOM and then gain it back. Yesterday I was down 2 pounds and I don't trust it. Today is a chore day (MamaKat--LAUNDRY!).
Kayla: Hope you're doing well staying on plan.

Star: I'm so upset for you. I can feel your frustration and disapointment. I'm sorry they didn't give you the job. I hope your'e doing ok. And I hope your weekend drags too! Glad to hear your DD's nose is on th mend.
K9: Hope you had a good Friday night at work. That video link was crazy-weird!
Solar: Your dinner sounds good. I used to make something similar, but haven't in many years because DH developed a shellfish allergy. Glad you got your hug!
And congrats on a successful project presentation!!!
HappyDay: Welcome and congrats on your loss already!!
Berry: Sorry about usual weight gain. But at least since you recognize the pattern so you know it's not a permanent gain.
Vixsin: I'm sorry you're striggling.
The first right thing you did was come here! Gold's Gym sounds crazy...I wouldn't have stayed either! Having access to a trainer is enviable! Wish I had it. Your turkey sounds good...I do slow cooking of my turkey too. Actually, last year I accidently put the turkey breast side down on the rack and realized it after a couple hours cooking. So we struggled with it, but managed to turn it back over and finish cooking. Turned out to be the very best, juiciest turkey I ever had! I plan to do it on purpose next time I make a turkey
Mamakat: Glad you got so sleep in Friday...I love to too, but hardly ever do. So proud of you for having not just one, but TWO random conversations.
And you took a "break" from laundry...Good Job! A corduroy party? Never heard of it...what do you do...just wear corduroy? Don't worry about your belly...I'm sure it's shrinking too. It's got to feel good to be in smaller sizes. How cool that you're a role model and inspiration, particularly to a young person. All we can do is set a good example and keep encouraging them.
MustardFan: Congrats on the smaller size.
I haven't bought any new clothes recently, hoping I'll go down a size (or at least fit into the tight things I have).
Diane: It's only been recently I put two and two together--PMS and insomnia. But yea, it sucks...being tired and not able to sleep. Of course we're not weird...we're special!
Still: Congrats again on the loss! An all-time low is so exciting!! DD loved her "Balloon Mobile" and is still driving it around filled with balloons.
RedBalloon: Welcome! The more the merrier!
Have a good weekend everyone!
