Have you all seen the commercial from Dell."Dude you are getting a Dell." Well I am the dude and I have put my order in for a dell computer and new printer.It is a nice one and had everything I think I want.Went to mall and salesman walked me thru each thing.Some we left,some we upgraded and some we didn't get.WoW and double WoW. Not bad for someone that came home to Florida in 1980 with my five kids and the clothes on our backs.I have been so blessed.
I am so excited. It is the nicest thing I ever got for myself.(No my truck does not count) It will get here around my birthday which is cool.Ofcourse now I have to get a new chair to go with it and learn how to use it.. Plus save like crazy to get it paid off.But I am going to have to get everything from the old desktop which will take awhile. Bill will use the old one to play solataire. Yesterday was a good day.
Now I just have to get the weight off plus get rid of this new cold I have

Eleni-congrats on the new birthday gift for youself. You deserve it. You will have fun.
Sherri- you are making so much progress. You are changing everyday. For the good. Keep it up. You are going to have those days, and remember they are events. something you can get through. You are doing awesome on everything.
I really need to take notes when i read these things. I forget.
Not much going on here. We will be going to the parents house tonight to play some games. They are so excited. I think we need to do it once a month to help their sanity a little bit.
Went to the big gym to work out yesterday, so i could hit the pool, heat room and did sometime on the treadmill. I managed to get over a mile in 20min. Not bad. I'm going to have to get a new bathing suit. One of the ones i have is 4 sizes to big, and the other one i have is the correct size, but it's so old that it has no elastic in the arms. I had to move slowly yesterday. I used the shorts, and well they are big. I did have candy, and chips this week, but way lower than normal. I managed to make it through no klondikes, or skinny cows. However, there were times i wished i had them. But i made it.
Going to the grocery store today, hopefully i can make it through again.
i think my cold is going into a sinus infection.
Well I hope everyone has a good day, take care. Do it one day at a time, one food at a time, one small change at a time.

Eleni,

That is great that you got the computer you deserved it. Happy birthday to you.LOL
How is the cold are you getting better? I hope so. My sinuses are starting to bother me also. My head has been killing me all day today.

Wendy,

You are doing great. Wish I could go to such a great gym. It must have been nice to go in the pool and all.
You have been doing awesome girl. And with the junk. I know you got into some today but it wasn't much and you controlled it and that is what counts. You are making headway in all of this. Keep doing what you are doing it is working.

As for me I decided last night on the way home to have a sleepover for megan and her friends from her old school and her best friend that is in kindergarten. She has been saying more often then not that she misses her friends. It made me feel bad so I told her they could come over. We were going to plan it for next weekend but I decided we might as well get it done and over with today. So I called some parents last minute last night and only 2 didn't show up they couldn't make it. So I had 4 girls here today. 3 that were 4 and 1 5 year old. But it was amazing because I didn't have one fight all day. Also 2 out of the 3 girls that came over stayed here overnight. They are in the bedroom watching a movie with their chips. They are about ready to pass out for the night. I am ready to sit down for the day myself. I am going to bed early tonight.
I got right up early this morning and got all my housework done. Megan and I cleaned the whole house in 3 hours this morning. It looks great and it didn't get trashed. When I said it was time to pick up before the pizza got here they all went right in and picked up the playroom without a fuss. I couldn't believe it. They were so good today. 2 of them had never been here before either so it was a nice day for them. I was very busy all day but they had fun. I am just happy that my house is so clean. I guess I have to invite people over more often to get it cleaned.LOL It is always picked up for the most part but I went through everything today. cleaned out the magazine rack and all the papers on the table and the counter and everything. So it does look nicer.
Nothing else happening here. I am doing great on plan. I had 2 slices of pizza and a huge salad for dinner and all I had before that was a bannana and an egg. So I am still within my points for the day. 1 more day to go for the weekend. Then it is back to my routine eating for the week.

Take care everyone. I am going to get out of here and hit the couch.

Sherri
