Gee, Mscat, it seems that in my case it's the d****d insanity button that keeps hitting me instead of vice versa. :( I have a feeling next week it'll be me you're congratulating for facing up to changing my ticker... this is a week that will live in self-indulgence infamy. :shrug:

Hello Ladies :)
Three days of success behind me. :) Hopefully the rest of the week will go just as good!

Bonnie, congrats! Good job with the button! Actually, I want to nominate this icon as kudos for pressing our insanity buttons :strong: -- because it requires a lot of strenght to do it and to stop the insanity! :)

Hi Ladies!

Sushi - :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: for 3 days of ACTION! I thought about using the :strong: symbol too! I like it - we'll give it a go and see how everyone likes it.

Bonnie :cheer: :cheer: for 2 days of ACTION and a :strong: for your S.T.I. moment! Thanks for the wine spritzer substitute recipe. Gonna try it myself instead of sneaking that more than occasional wine cooler.

carla :hug: I know what you mean - I skipped bellydance class (too much stuff to do this evening) and did NOT get on the treadmill to make up for it :fr: But I did do extremely well on diet plan - DD and I are on this very strict and stringent diet just this week only to jump start our weight loss beyond that dreaded plateau.

Have a great Thursday everyone!

Thursday evening here, and I messed up... had dinner late, munched after dinner, no chance of making it to bed by 10:30 pm...
However, I've had no coffee at all today and didn't even feel tempted! Being at home makes that easier, since I sually get coffee during break at work, but it's been even easier to have two a day at home ever since I bought this new kind of coffee in bags, which you can brew like tea.

I haven't been to bed before midnight all week...someone kick me in the butt and make me get some rest..I've done good on eating but I don't know what happened yesterday with my water..

Night Ladies!
 

I am sooo tired! It is 11 pm and I am still up :tantrum: But I had an excellent day staying OP. Didn't hit the insanity button at my friend's candy dish on her desk though :no:

Can't seem to get on the exercise band wagon again. Going to bed too late so I don't have the energy or the motivation when I get up at 6:30! WIll have to figure out something - we are moving the stair climber back into the bedroom and I know it will be harder to use my excuses then.

dgpebbles - you and I have got to solve our night owl problem ;)

Bonnie :cheer: :cheer: for 2 days in a row of standing firm.

Sushi :strong: for resisting that coffee!

I have a few more things to do tonight before my Landmark Education event tomorrow (home introduction). I am determined that after tonight I will go to bed on time! Have a great Friday ladies.

I'm willing to let Friday count.
I did get to bed earlier than expected (around 10:40 pm). Food didn't go as good - we went for a trip, didn't get back till 7:30 pm, there was no dinner for me by mistake (nothing big, no worries), I was too tired to cook anything - so I just had some cereal and then a bit of chocolate.
It probably shouldn't count though... I don't know. Bah.

Quickie Post!
 

Mornin' Lovelies! I am having the most fantastic week despite my little problems with staying up too late and not getting in any exercise. I have been OP everyday with the exception of last night. I had a Landmark Home Introduction at my home and munched on my appetizers :D (Not on my Plan!)

However, we had a fabulous evening - the workshop left each of my guests with a new possibility that will make a difference in their lives and one of my guests registered for the Landmark Forum :carrot: I invented a new possibility around time which includes time to exercise and take care of my health needs.

I was so inspired that I shifted my belief in my ability to accomplish my weight loss goals. I will post in more detail about what I see for myself in the area of health and fitness when I have more time. However, what I didn't share with all of you is the scale has been moving again. I was afraid to say anything because that happened last week for whatever reason and by the time weigh-in day came I was up 2 lbs! So I am changing my ticker to honestly represent what I weighed at the beginning of this week so my weigh-in on Monday will be representative of what my accomplishment is. I am confident I will show a loss because I know the move in the scale this week is the result of my hard work.

Bonnie :cheer: for another day of success. I know you can do it this week. Today is yours for the taking!

Sushi :hug: hang in there. It's not about what you didn't do yesterday - it's about what you can do today!

The rest of the week is a blur... I know I did achieve my coffee goal - no days with more than one coffee and one day of no coffee at all. But I can't be sure regarding my other goals... not met on Thursday, but met on Friday or Saturday or both... Sunday was fine, but I didn't get to sleep till very late despite having gone to be on time. Maybe that's why I'm so confused - not enough sleep! ;)

This week same goals... no food after 7 pm (or after dinner if running late), in bed by 10:30 pm with lights off, no more than one coffee per day and at least 1 day with no coffee.
