Hi guys. Hope everyone here is doing well. We're having a bit of a rough day. Nothing too terrible, but last night hubby decides to install a new hard drive and transfer all info over to it. He begins at 6:00, and is finished by 11:30. He then made a fatal error and overwrote some important files, and we had to begin again. So we were both up until 3:30 or 4:00 trying to figure this out. I of course was up at 6:00a.m. with Aaron, and laid him down for a nap at around 8:00ish. I decided to take a nap too and woke up at 9:45, horrified to see hubby sleeping away next to me instead of being at work. He is there, with a beard stubble, but he is there. You know how those days are after you don't sleep...you're just worthless. And of course, this is the day where we have no groceries in the house, so we had to do a big shopping trip, along with all the supplies for Aaron's birthday party. So I just got back from dragging myself through Wal-Mart and Hy-Vee, then dragging all the groceries in. Thanks for letting me whine about that...I feel a little better now.

I promise I will post to everyone tomorrow but I just haven't got it in me today. Eating is crappy, but I'm trying to stay in points range. You know how that is when you have no food in the house and you make bad choices out of desperation and hunger and trying to keep yourself awake. That's how the baked doritos and chocolate chips entered the picture. The McDonald's came about because I wanted to eat something before I went into the grocery store and I just can't look another chicken breast in the face today. I will throw up if I have to smell boneless skinless chicken breast...any of you ever feel like this? Wow, I am quite the whiner today. Sorry. I'll be better tomorrow, girl scout's honor, even though I'm not a girl scout!

What a day! Whew ... I feel like going out for an iced coffee & not coming back ...

I missed so much going on here today.

Another night of no mid night bingeing/eating. Well, @ 2 AM I did have a bowl of "healthy" cereal. That spin class makes you HUNGRY!

So, spinning was good & I also did some ab work before the class. Now I'm starting to feel it. What a good feeling "sore" is.

It's also TOM; hopefully by weigh in on Sunday it's raging effects won't be so harsh.

Bye Tonya - enjoy your walk & grilling. I love to grill ...

The snack box is a great idea. I try to keep individual "goodies" around (like teddy grahams - they're my favorite snack, oreo's etc). For red light foods, I just don't bring them into the house - I'd rather go out & enjoy them (like ice cream), instead of going overboard. But sometimes I have to (for the kiddo), and then I just keep them "out of sight, out of mind".


KT - Happy Birthday! Definitely post the wedding pix when you are recovered.

Jess - I want to get my tounge pierced. That *MIGHT* be a "goal gift" to myself. Are you ever too old to get something pierced? I've got 9 holes in my ears as it is, what's one more in my body?

Kier - Enjoy your time off! I'm jealous ... I'm in desperate need of a vaca. Alone. Has anyone ever watched "What About Bob?" w/ Bill Murray? The funniest movie ever (I think) ... "Take a vacation, Bob. A vacation away from your problems."

Hi Ali - You're pictures on the Photo Thread are inspirational!

And I love your signature line, too. I start classes soon too. Good luck!

Jen - Jeremy & I had a good story night the other night. I love reading to him, although he has the attention span of a flea.
I agree - don't pay any regard to your "soon to be gone" receptionists comments. You're better than that ... I'm sure your cohorts know what kind of an employee & person you are.

Gotta take the cat to the vet tomorrow AM.

And I'm going to have SUCH a headache getting my truck repaired. UGH. What a fiasco for someone who was innocently sitting at a red light abiding the laws & paying attention & at the cost of someone's STUPIDITY ... grrrr ... I try not to think about it because then I get chest pains. Truck goes to the repair shop to be taken apart (w/ ins co there to appraise) and determine what needs to be repaired & parts to order. So that's a day w/ out a car (or finding other means to GET TO WORK). Then when parts come in, truck goes in & I need to get a rental (out of pocket expense) and blah, blah, blah. Mind you this will all probably happen during my camping weekend I am sure, when I NEED TO DRIVE TO PA (with a rental???). UGH! I know you guys don't want to hear me ramble, but this is the EXCITING stuff in my life!

Hope I didn't miss anyone & that you all are having a good Wednesday!

Day 3 OP for me!
