Earlier check for me today - stating my goal for my work event tonight is to pick a few items I would LOVE and stick with those - I doubt I'll go home hungry. If so, I can heat up an ear of corn. There will be "stations" of all sorts of food - which enables me to have more than I should (I didn't say more than I liked. Hm.)
A short workweek for me because I'm off Friday and DH is moving into another busy push for work and might have to work on Saturday. I'm completely fine being off as much as I can ... I have the vacation bug and it bit me hard.
Food has been okay so far today, so my motto is "don't blow it" for tonight. Week #2 cannot be a gain. I've done that before, though.
Maryann - In thinking about you being on WW for a month and being down two pounds, I used to average a half-pound loss per week, but that's nearly 25 pounds in a year, so ... there's a lot to be said for you being down for a whole month in the summer!
Bill - GREAT news from your dentist. I know the fear that goes along with tests, especially when friends' outcomes are not good. DH and I have tossed around the idea of one day buying rental property. He's a major handyman and I do a decent job painting ... and would love to do the landscaping, etc., but that would be a "down the road" option. Fun for us to think about, though. I'm all about trying to think of ways to bring in income down the line!
OneByOne - Oh NO on not liking Christmas
I love it - I'm not sure why. It's not the gifts, not the cold weather, not the cold season, the incessant BUY THIS ads, hmm... I love holiday music and when I applied for my current job, my to-be boss asked me what kind of music I liked. I said Christmas music. He said in 25 years, no one had ever said that. I said I couldn't lie and say Blues since I couldn't back it up haha... Don't let those saboteurs get in your way. We're in this together. Let's have a kick-butt HHD tomorrow!
GardenerJoy -So good to see you pop in here when you can/need to I like your forthright way of looking at things. Hoping your summer is going well. Do you have another trip on the horizon?
