... I don't believe it for a second. I did have one run-in with cookies and birthday cake day before yesterday and that's probably to blame, but not going to make me gain six real pounds when I've been walking hours a day (yesterday 1.5 hours aerobic walking, plus 1.5 hours wandering through a science exhibit plus all the airport walking) and eating lightly. I'm not going to change my ticker, uh-uh. It just can't be so! Still keeping same Halloween goal and dedicating self to task. Looking to the GI index for guidance. ...
Huzzah and hurrah, Arabella, for this wondeful "save" ... you caught the weight management reality factor in your brain before the Evil False Gain Demon e'en got a toehold there. I just think that was a'testin' thee ... rock on! GI be an excellent rock to cling to, IMO, BTW~~~
Sounds like you've got a great handle on things, Anagram. Sorry you are missin' out on some sleep, but it's great that you'll be able to get a great walk in today. See ya!
Dh and I went to bed very early, he woke up rested at 3pm, I followed about 4:30am but we now I am hot and flashing, and feeling rushed ..... amazing how we still find time to kill !!! ...

Hi Amarantha!
Is the other piano teacher (I am sorry I forgot her name!) still around? I am now listening live to the finals of the Chopin Piano Competition straight from Poland!
[b]Hi, A. I think that was avwoolf ... not sure if I got the user name right ... but she hasn't posted for quite awhile. Maybe she's out there and will see this. She was very interesting and it'd be cool if she came back!!
Arabella.. Six pounds! Gotta be water...didya fly? Even driving I find the ol' bod just stores it up. I bet you drop it in a flash.....or a pee.
Thing for today for myself...I started reading the new Sara Paretsky just because I wanna. Am on page 100 and am going up to read some more. I get a 2 hour supper today...found I was in an overtime position under the collective agreement...so rather than pay me, I get a longer supper...Geesh. I have adult book club tonight, and I had 2 class visits this am...so that was enough to bump me over.
You're all doin' great. My food choices are better, and I'm workin' on the water......no walk today. Maybe tomorrow.
... ok, I KNOW we welcomed everyone to the challenge but I just like the sign!!!!
Huzzah to Ceara and E for their great days so far!!!
I've been messin' about on my day off looking for new jeans that I can wear when my brother finally gets here. I am wearing the same ol' ratty jeans all the time as I seem to be between sizes and can't find any I like in a suitable size. I don't like the popular styles (like "low rise," which make me feel half dressed or boot cut, which flop around below my ankles because I'm so short waisted, or those "slim" ones that make one's legs look like pencils) ... I just want comfortable, dull jeans in a size that fits without strangling anything but does not make me look 100 years old.
I'm trying some on My Virtual Model online right now. Might find something soon. They stopped making the brand of jeans I prefer and I am simply out there in a whole new world ...
