Happy Monday!
 

Hello everyone! The list is already long and it's only 10:30!

After an annoying 3rd week my DH and finally found the perfect Gym, not too expensive, and very very nice. So very excited about that. THEN, you're all just going to die when you hear this. I had to find the perfect gym bag (that's my thing I love handbags, luggage, the whole gamut.) I searched and searched, stores and online, but not the perfect one.

I eventually found the perfect one. It was this elongated black bag with pink trim. They had it online for 60-70 dollars, plus 10 for shipping, and DH said go ahead, but at the last moment I suggested to go to the Super TJMax near us. Would you even believe this. Tucked under a million ugly bags was my bag, for 24.99 and it came with a free yoga mat!!!

Soooooo excited about that. :dizzy:

To top off all this happiness, I had been very frustrated with the scale. It wasn't moving at all. I had posted about the fact that I thought that my belly wasn't getting smaller b/c after two weeks pants still fit the same.

Today on a fluke I tried on the formerly unbuttonable khakis, GUESS WHAT - I'm wearing them. Horray! :^:

So, I'll post to the monday am weigh in -but somehow that 1.4 pounds made a huge difference. (The bad part - the new scale has a body fat analyzer - OMGoodness, that was sad....) :(

Well, I'm (hopefully) back on track!! Of course it has only been since breakfast, so let's see how the rest of the day goes!!! Between the cold and my Dad being ill I have REALLY wanted comfort foods the last month. Bottom line though, unless I get this under control I will end up where my father is, so I need to get busy. (I'm closer to being diabetic already than he was at my age...)

Ruth-Our winter has been colder than usual AND we have had more snow than usual. I would PREFER a perpetually cold winter than this back and forth stuff!!! Every time I start getting used to 5 dgrees (F) it goes up to 35 and the freezing rain starts!! And everytime there is a temperature shift I go into hibernation mode. Hard to get anything done!!! I KNOW you are going to be great in the play. Just wish I could come see you!!!

GOOD MORNING Little Chick, Ellis, Bamiegurl, Lexxy and GavinsMom!!! :wave:

Sumsitup-Consider yourself lucky!!! I didn't give up the coffee (ONE THING AT A TIME!!!) and I STILL had headaches and fatigue!!! I do think everyone reacts differently. Once I got past that I felt GREAT!!!

Anne-GOOD FOR YOU!!! I'm just now trying to get back on track and it is FEBRUARY!!!

Clovey-Sounds like you had a great time!!! I'm with you; if I weigh too often I get discouraged. I've been considering just getting weighed when I go to the doctor. (every 3 or 4 months) Don't know if I can wait that long though!!!

Jan-Happy Anniversary!!! Sounds like you did well AND celebrated. Best combination there is!!!

Overfedup-I LOVE your avatar!!!! Wow!! What strength to make that Tiramisu and not have any. Don't think I could have done that!!!

Sflake-I'm (trying to be) with you!!! How's THAT for commitment?!?

HEY PEBBLES!! Missed your post while writing mine!!! Congrats on finding your bag at a bargain price. I LOVE BARGAINS!!!

For goodness sakes. It's Tuesday, Den, darling. Get with the program, will ya? :rofl: Or should I practice my mod skills and try to work your post into todays thread...
I'm going to have a nap. Just ate a bag of Bridge Mix, and I'm feeling a wee bit queasy. Maybe I need some chips...

Oh, my god. I have totally lost it. It's still Monday, isn't it? I haven't even been off my meds for one freakin' day, and I've already lost it. :rofl:

Geez, Ellis, even ON meds you never totally FOUND it! :rofl: Have a nap .....please!

Den -
It was 12 degrees over the weekend, I grabbed a fleece vest because it had 'warmed up'.

This weather needs to go!

Hello All! Feeling a bit tired today....stayed up to watch the Patriots last night--Hurray PATS!!! My voice fades in and out from all the screaming I did. Even jumped up off the couch a few times to help the Pats run down the field (does that count as excercise?). Whew..... Couldn't get to sleep after the game, so stayed up and watched Survivor....I don't know, I am just not into it like I was for the first one. Staying clear of the scale also, had a few drinky-poos last night. Washing it all away today with LOTS of water. I have come to the realization that I cannot function on less than five hours sleep....... :tired:

HEY!! If I make it the next few hours I will have had my first good day in months. I think I'll go make a HUGE pot of herbal tea!!!

Pebbles-I know, it is pretty bad when 12 or 15 degrees feels like a massive warm up!!!

Ruth and Ellis-Lost/Found...it is all the same thing. (Ain't I waxing poetical tonight?!?)

Go, Den!!
:hat: :dance:

Hey chickies I started off the day great then ended up eating a piece of pie. Urggggggh why can't I get back on track, I did however make myself get on the treadmill. 33 minutes, felt great. Maybe that will get me back on track tomorrow. God how I hate that phrase. Well I went and picked up a few healthy things at the store so I am ready. Talk to you all in morning. Goodnight.
