Hoop-dy-do! I got through my first full day, back on track, in full force. I better get to bed before I blow it. - just kidding. Did an UBWO this afternoon while watching Dr. Phil and I'm sore already - good! I even kept to my schedule and found I had time left over so I went to WalMart for supplies tonight instead of tomorrow. I'm already ahead of my own game.
Tiki - Sorry to hear about your rotting grass experience. I never lived in or had to care for a house until I was 32 when I bought my own (first.) I cut the grass with an old-fashioned pushmower, raked the clippings and bagged them. I learned the hard way too because I left the bags behind the garage in the heat that first year. EEEWW, pretty nasty and the garbage guys didn't appreciate I left them at the curb either. As for Troy, yep it's full price worthy, however we rarely go to anything but matinees. We were surprised that the 2nd showing had about 10 people, and the theatre itself was rather empty. Troy was on like 5 screens, and Van Helsing on 5. We ordered our tickets on Fandango expecting a big crowd since both movies have been so anticipated. When we got there, no one was in line - weird.
Anne - Sugar itself hasn't really been an issue for me as much as fat and flour with sugar combinations. I did the same yo-yoing as you, taking advantage of the "free day," which made me literally sick and having to face detoxing all over again, and again and again. So I had to eliminate a "free day," but as not to feel deprived, allow myself to have a free meal, or a clean meal and a desert, usually on Friday night or Saturday when I go out with DH. Some times we do that free meal up in a big way, some times we don't. But I've found that it's easier to get over a meal or desert than it is a whole day of eating wrong. And the guilt and self-loathing is minimal. It also gives me something to look forward to after week's worth of effort that isn't going to totally blow it.
Hi Mel! I should be studying right now, but will do some review with flash cards before bed. Otherwise, it's going OK, I would like to be able to retain more and not have to keep going back for so much review, but I blame that on age. I met a lady a few weeks ago who's lost 90 pounds on Atkins, but has never even done cardio. I offered to take her on for free once I get certified just to have someone to practice on - she agreed but says she's alergic to exercise - and unfortunately, looks it. She weighs less than I do and is still in a size 18. She couldn't believe I weight 175. I couldn't believe she weighed 150, but of course I didn't say that to her. OH! last week our local county newspaper featured an article on the same trainer that does "Slow Mo" that my insurance lady goes to. One of the reporters went to him, and after 4 months wrote a review. BUT! she didn't say how many inches she lost or anything, only that she gained strength. Kind of aggravated me because she tauted "Slow Mo" as the "future" of weight lifting.

Karen - wow, talk about a pampered princess! I consider it a treat just to do those kinds of things for myself. (not the bikini wax
) But then I'm just frugal - won't pay someone to do anything I can do myself. Also, DH doesn't understand why I spend so much time doing girlie girl things for myself because his mother and sisters never did. (No comment
) You must have felt darn good because I know how I feel when I do it up good. Good for you, sister!
Ilene my jelly bean - We went wrong but we're back in the saddle and it will all be good here on out. When will you be off *work release?*
It's gotta be soon, no?
Well, I'm outta here. Hi to all and nighty-night. . .
