Bamie, thanks for starting us up! I can't believe you are up so early girl...aren't you tired?

Go work on the kitchen!!!

It'll be so great when it's finished!
Nally, your DH sounds like a total doll!

Can he give workshops to my DH on romance?

Have a blast...I love going to B&Bs!!!
Toni, I do my writing last minute too.

Such is the life of a student! Good luck with the paper!
Ruth, if you have a typical country driveway, I think the recycling lug to the road counts as exercise. Snow adds extra points!

Enjoy the super Wal-Mart trip. They can have great stuff! And yes, post your recipe...it sounds great!
Welcome back,
Chipper! Do post even when you're not on plan...sometimes it helps jump start you back!

Hope DS has a great b-day!
Ellis, your kitchen will be gorgeous! And so will your arms after all that sanding...
Sil, I expect to see pics of your granite soon!

How fun!!!
Rayneysmom, I love your technique for getting your DH to work. Good idea!

As to variety for lunch and breakfast, I think there are tons of options! I've posted my list of breakfast ideas several times, so if you do a search, you'll find them. You can have leftovers of dinner for lunch, so there is just as much variety there as for dinner. I don't think I could make it through this WOE without variety...I think we've only had five or six things more than once, and only because we loved them.
Amb_lyn, I know what you mean about the gym...should we make a pact to both go tomorrow morning?
Barb, I'm glad you are both on the mend! Take care of yourself, okay?
Jenn, maybe you can put up a picture of your dress somewhere that will motivate you, like on your fridge? Set mini goals...like five pounds and you get a massage or manicure, or anything that helps you feel good about you. I must say, though, that I never got the motivation to lose weight for my wedding, and I had a fabulous day.

When I was ready to lose this weight (now) it became very, very easy. Maybe you aren't ready yet...to do this and do it right, you can't do it for anyone but you. You can't lose the weight just to be pretty for your DF, or to look good in your friend's wedding. You have to really want to do it. You know? We're here to cheer you on either way, though!!!
Hunny, are you drinking enough water? Being dehydrated can get you tired. Hope you can fit a nap in today!
Me:
Well, the scale fell down three pounds today after yesterday's Ash Wed. "fast"...maybe I really am eating too many calories?
Really hoping to dig into my homework tonight after Jazzercise. I want to have some piece of the weekend to just spend time with DH and relax!!!
Missed my therapy appt. yesterday...I felt terrible! I'm so bad at remembering things these days! I really hope to get to the gym tomorrow morning. I went to bed at 11:00 last night and was still too exhausted to get up until 1/2 hour before work this morning. Oy!
We're back to cold and snow but I don't mind it as much after a week of warm weather.
Have a great day, chickies!
