SATURDAY: Today is Sunny Thoughts Saturday. What do you have to share with us to make us laugh?

My contribution:

A car was driving down the street when all of a sudden it started swerving. The car was going back and forth till someone with a cell phone called the police. A police officer pulled the car over. A blonde rolls down the window and says, " Officer, I'm so glad you are here. I saw a tree in the road, then I saw another. So I had to swerve to keep from hitting it!" The officer looks at her, then says, "Ma'am, that's your air freshener."

Hi all,

I had a 4 point day yesterday - even though I've still got PMS, I'm really trying to get back on track. I've decided to increase my calorie allowance by 150 during PMS week which means I avoid the disappointment of constantly going over my calories a little bit. I'm definately back on track with my exercise, I'm back on the exercise bike which I hadn't done for about 2 weeks - it wasn't as hard as I thought it might be, although I'm sticking to 30 mins at the moment, where before I was on 35 mins.

I bought a really lovely denim jacket - and it was cheaper than I expected, so I could afford a pair of trousers aswell! :cp: As soon as I saw the jacket, I knew it was exactly what I wanted, but suprise suprise they were sold out of my size. In the end I got the next size down and although it's a little tight on the bust at the moment, I'll soon slim down. The trousers I bought are baggy combat style in a rich chocolate brown - really funky! I bought these in my normal size UK 24 (US 20 I think), and though they fit perfectly well on my thighs and bum, the waist is so loose that they are nearly falling off! The thing is I know that a 22 will be too tight on my thighs and bum, so I'm going to keep them and hold them up with a belt! This just goes to show that I am really losing weight from my waist and hips at the moment - hopefully my legs and bum will catch up soon! That's the thing when you lose weight isn't it - you are often inbetween sizes and a bit out of proportion!

Faye - well done for keeping on track! I'm sure your scales will show a big loss soon. Like you say, you are losing - you just haven't got the exact numbers to prove it yet. About the treadmill thing - my sister is a fitness instructor and she always tells me to try to go for as long as possible for as fast as possible! Time and mileage are more important for fat burning than stamina and hill climbing - although a slight incline will really burn fat as long as you are still walking fast.

Nikki - Sorry you got sunburnt, I know what agony that is! Have you decided what to do about your folks moving? If you go, then surely you will have to pull out of college as well? I expect that you've spent alot of your childhood caring for your mum - personally I don't think it's in your best interests to go, it's time to look after yourself. I know it's not as easy as that though when you have guilt and pressure put on you. Is your mum on medication, or getting any other help - it sounds like she needs professional support.

Julie - ooh, I'm intrigued by your secrecy! Can't wait to find out what it is that has got you all excited! Hope you got some great bra's and books!

Carri, Sandy, Jan - hello!

I'm off for my swim now!

Oh Gosh, I can't believe no one has checked in since my post yesterday afternoon! Don't mind me, I have no life! :lol:

I got 4 points yesterday. My pool is closed for a week now for repainting :( so I don't know what I am going to do! The prospect of going on the exercise bike for 7 days does not fill me (or my backside) with glee, so I'm going to check out a pool in a different area - it will mean a bus ride and back, but will be worth it!

Have a lovely day

Love Amanda x
