Before today, I hadn't had a pedicure in about 3 years. I REALLY missed it. I feel wonderful and pampered. Maybe a spa day would be a great idea. I really liked the new place that I went. They don't do any hair, just hands, feet, facials, massages, etc. It was very clean and pretty as are my toes! It's more than I should be spending but I really felt like I needed to do something special for myself that didn't involve food. I really need to stop spending now.
Terry, I've had a couple of little gains here and there. Having said that though, I understand completely how you feel. It's no fun to be good, follow the program and have a gain. It's gonna happen. You've lost so much so fast that I'm not surprised this happened. I'm sure your body is in shock. Just hang in there and you'll probably see a loss next week. I've actually had two small gains in a row and then lost 3.6 the third week. You aren't whining....and even if your were....there IS whining and crying in weight loss even though it's not allowed in baseball. Just stay on program kiddo. I'm sure you'll recover quickly.
Kathy, you sound pretty chipper in your recent blueberry message so I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better than your message from this morning. I'm sure your mood is affected by your missing your Sister. It's hard to stay on any program when your emotional mood is so sad. I hope your Sunday adventure will elevate your spirits!
Cher, you're killing me!

I could picture the whole chain of events, including the swatting. What a night!
Now I was already laughing at Cher's story but then Sandra and Frouf finished me off. AP's for swatting and Frouf trying to get a fix on what level of activity to assign. Cut it out, you're killing me.
Frouf, I'm glad you're feeling better and that your DH is being a better partner lately. Movies on a Tuesday night is pretty sweet. Your Ex on the other hand...well let's just say he demonstrated one of the reasons that he is an EX husband! Try not to get to upset over your DS. No matter how hard you try, you just may not be able to prevent him from making life's mistakes.
I'm a big cryer and a big proponent of crying. I think tears release toxins. I think I've read that somewhere reliable. It is a real pressure relief valve for me. I cry when I'm happy, sad, angry, relieved, worried...we'll you get the picture!
Sandra, I'm glad you liked the cornmeal chicken. I just had it last week and already have a taste for it again. Jim would gladly eat it again this soon. He likes that and my chicken Fried rice alot too.
Fazoli's...OMG. I love Fazoli's. Ours closed and the other one is too far away. Which is just as well since what I used to get was very very fattening. We used to get the baked spaghetti with mozarella cheese and those rolls!!!!! Thanks for mentioing that. I'm drooling. I didn't know that the had ww pasta now. Melissa, why would you have to count points for marinara? Isn't marinara just tomatoes and spices?
I went to Ruby Tuesday's last night for dinner. Deborah recommended this restaurant some time ago and I was just finally able to get there to try it out. Thanks Deborah......it was FABULOUS! I wasn't perfectly Core but I was close. They have a fabulous salad bar. I had a big salad and I ate a turkey burger wrap in a whole grain ww tortillo with onion, tomato, and mustard and brown rice pilaf. They now use all canola oil. I figured a couple of points for some hidden things although I questioned them about ingredients and it all seemed Core. I figure the turkey wasn't lean enough and the rice pilaf was supposed to have a little cheese on it (although I didn't see any). This will be a place on my list of restaurants that I can go to with my friends once in a while.
Gotta go make some salad for dinner and snap those green beans!
There's a severed thunderstorm warning here until 9:00. As long as there are no tornados I won't be TOO scared!
