Happy Thursday Everyone! (are you sure it's not Friday).
Did not sleep at all last nite, boy am I dragging today. Got to sleep around 11, DD got in from Fla around 12:30, could not get back to sleep, she was walking around putting things away and the floor was creaking something horrible. We walked late last nite (3 miles) an I had already walked my 2 miles in the morning. My legs were really tired and they hurt all nite. I finally fell asleep around 2:30 or so. It was really hard to get up at 5:15 to get my walk/job in. I drug my lazy arse out of bed. It was hard to jog too much, my feet and legs were tired and hurt. Did have to cut off the last block. Needed to lay down for 15 before getting ready for work. It's early to bed tonite.
Now to catch up.
Jred, Congrats on the lose fitting pants. Sometimes we hav to measure success by how our clothes fit instead of the numbers on the scale.
Heartmom, WTG on getting rid of that 5 pounds. Who cares if it is water, it is still 5 less pounds on that scale.
Deb, Going bargain hunting today since you have a free day? Hope you enjoy it. I'm not one that likes being alone. I get bored to easily.
Sheann, What wonderful news agout your son and DIL. I truly hope they can work things out. Especially when there are kids involved. Will continue to keep them in my prayers. WTG on recommiting to this WOE. I am half way thru the SB book myself again. Sometimes you just need to re-read it to get you focused again.
Rosalie, Nice going at the BBQ. Sometimes, all that food doesn't even bother you. Sounds like you went prepared.
Gracious, Your new haircut sounds cute. It is nice when you pay so much for soemthing that you end up liking it. Sometimes those stylist can really give you a far out hair-do. I don't think they even look at you to see how you wear your hair when you walk in. Hope you had a great bday. Regarding the IQ test, GIRL POWER!!
Mercy, Almost 15 pounds. That is great. Keep up the good work. Do you have alot to lose?
BKM, Nice to hear from you. It sounds like youhave been very busy. Bummer about your niece. We used to have a cockapoo too. She looked more like a cocker than a poodle though. Her name was Truffles. My DH adored her.
Music Teach, Cute wallpaper, Is that Indians? I love Pooh, very cute. Sounds like you have had a busy week. It's nice to be productive.
Bob, I'm a true-blooded Kentuckian, I did not find anything to relate to in your joke. LOL You are giving us a bad rep.
Sef, Your chicken sounds good. I need to find some legal crock-pot recipes. I hate trying to come up with soemthing to fix for dinner. If I don't that leads to trouble.
Quilter, Glad your sickness didn't last very long. Yum, salmon patties. Haven't had them in years. My mom made the best but mine doesn't taste like hers. I have been craving fish too. Glad you like your new stove. The lady who lost all that way really did have a big life change. She would never go out of the house or even let friends in to visit. Now she is a physcologist at at University here and she iw working with overweight children. What a remarkable change.
Country, That's almost 5 miles a day. I think that is awesome. I wish I could get that much in. Keep up the good work.
Songbird, Thanks for the link on the article, will check it out. Come back and join us. We would love to have you.
Serene, Red wine is legal according to the book. I don't like it b/c it is soo dry. I usually dring a white ziffendale. Hasn't really bothered me yet. If you figure out a way to drink those margaritas let me know, I really miss them. WTG on the 1.5 loss. Stay legal this week and hopefully you won't see a gain from the binge. Good luck.
Jred, I had the same thing happen in my DD closet, It feel 2 times before we finnaly got it anchored. What a nusiance. Have a great day.
Trish, Plan ahead for the reunion. Take something you can eat, take along some bread and triscuits to dip. Plan now to be 100% OP and you can do it. Have fun.
Fillise, I'm looking forward to the new SB book. Hope they have added some things (other than carrots). Going to check out the article in Times. Rosie & Oprah have really gained their weight back. With their money and being in the public eye so much, you would think they would have better success. I need to keep my SB book on hand too. I won't lend it to anyone.
Jenn, I hope you have good luck at the Dr's. Can't wait to see that new hair-do.
Gracious, Wow you are kicking some butt. 7 lbs. Keep up the good work.
Have a great day. Hope I can check in later. Tomorrow is DH birthday and I need to get out tonite and buy something. Men are so hard to buy for. Need to get to grocery. I have almost no food in the house. Probably be Sat before I do that.
PS. I just had to fill out a form for health insurance. It was sure nice to be able to put down a decent wt instead of my "other wt" for a change.
Later,
Jackie
