Tori, wow, you have every right to be proud of your fantastic 42.6 lb. weight loss. Your hard work really does show in the cell phone picture Major kudos to you!

Amy, I got caught up this morning on the posts and am now having a hard time KEEPING up. LOL I told myself I'll get off when there are no more new posts between my last two. Yeah, like that'll happen. Nice that DH took the DDs skiing and you got some work done. Sounds like the bunny showing trip was worth it since your brought Alfie home.

Tori, I'm a middle lane Interstate driver, so don't usually get tailgated there. I get tailgated on our township and county roads. I guess I'm lucky to have an older car with no running lights. Glad you wear your seatbelt now. We had two friends killed in separate accidents when they were thrown from their cars.

Taking live-in DD out for brunch and I'm going to eat ON PLAN--no cheating.

Ladies, I think that Tori got me with a voodoo doll. My right Achilles tendon feels like it's been pulled.

Don't worry about it. Tori and I got into a little competition. It quickly turned into a pissing contest and I ended up with a wet shoe.

Y'all are too nice with tailgaters. Depending on my mood and how aggressive the tailgater is, sets my reaction. I don't ever brake check, I don't think they deserve a warning light, I'll pull the e-brake in a hurry though. One time I was coming back from Florida (towing my jet ski) and this b!tch comes running up on my ass, I get over, she get over, still on my ass. I slow down, she stays on my ass. This continues on for miles so I sped back up to 70ish and so do she. I reached in my center console and grab a had full of pennies and toss them up and out my window. They came crashing down on her windshield. You know the fear you get when you are on the interstate and you SEE a rock about to hit your windshield? Imagine her fear. It got her off my ass and on the side of the road. Another time I was coming back from Mandeville (30 miles away), also towing my jet ski. Same situation. This time I had my wife (at the time) a few cars back in her car b/c she met me after getting off of work to go jet skiing. I've got the a$$hole on my ass. I speed up, he speeds up. I slow down and he doesn't go around. I call my ex, tell her to get on side of me, she does. Then I tell her to stay on side on me. I slowed down and so did she. We strolled down the interstate at 25 MPH for nearly 30 MILES!!!!!! We had traffic backed up for MILES! When it was time to get off the exit, she got behind me, the a$$hole got on side of me yelling and screaming, swerving as if he were going to hit me. I pointed to the exit, held up my tire iron and pointed for him to get off at the exit... just in case he wanted to discuss the situation further. BTW those were true stories, luckily for me neither of them had a gun b/c I probably would have been shot.

I was almost going to give you the silent treatment but felt I should give you some props. Great job!

I forgot to mention the my back is being a PITA today.

Walking 5-6 miles doesn't take much planning for me, but 10... yes!

Good breakfast? Check. PB&J sammich and a banana.
Body Glide? Check. Got all the important areas done, including feet.
Properly laced PUK (pumped up kicks)? Nope.
Properly laced PUK (pissied up kicks)? Check.
Engery for the walk? Check. Raisins (yuck), GU (yuck) and a protein bar.
Phone & ear buds? Check.
Dog? Nope.

Cost? 2.5 hours of my life, kicking Tori's ass... priceless.

BTW if you've never clicked that link above, do so now and don't forget to pick your jaw up off the ground!

Later ladies!

I'm getting ready to head out myself. Energy level is negative 10 though. And what is GU?

ToriD1012

**evil laugh** Seriously though, that sucks!

It's an energy gel. It's like sucking down a pack of honey.

Hey just a quick check in. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who gets lost in the pages and pages of posts. Well i got both cars washed and waxed and am on the fourth load of laundry so I have been pretty productive today. I am thinking a nice little cat nap and then the gym to hit my goal of 5 x week. On a bad note had a filling fall out this morning. Just not my week for dental karma Had a root canal tuesday, that tooth needs the crown replaced and now a filling falls out somewhere else. oh well. It could be worse...anyway

Tori Huge Congrats girl!!! Keep at it. The picture says a thousand words. So proud of you.

Mern Glad you are doing well and DH passed the heart test thats great! Just like you I know the two pounds is water but I'll feel much better when the scales goes back down. Your a great support on this board and I know for me, that even though you don't know me your taking the time to respond to my posts and support me means a lot. So big hugs to you.

Mike I did manage to catch the post about you urinating on your own shoe...lol I refrained from any derogatory comments at sometimes when we go cave diving there are not "facilities" at the site and I have been known to sprinkle outside the planned target area. so I feel your pain. LOL

Almeeker bunny show in a snow storm thats some determination. Glad you guys got there and back safely. Sounds like the girls had a great time.

I'm glad your bunnies showed well, Amy. Though usually when I hear the words "males" and "body to die for" in the same sentence, it's not referring to bunnies. Do you have the Fabio of the bunny world?

Tori, what did you decide to do for dinner? Your pics...wow! Such a huge difference! I still haven't gotten around to the before and afters. Looks great, girl, keep it up! Can you get a pic of Jas's new pretty nails?

Kimbur, sorry about the filling. I had that happen recently and it's an annoyance, to say the least. Best wishes for good scale news; just keep on keepin' on and the tide will turn.

Mern, I'm so glad you enjoyed your fish Friday night. It's awesome to plan for a treat; you know you're on track the rest of the time so no guilt involved!

Mike, major kudos on your walking! I'm impressed. I wish I had time to do 10 miles today. Think I'll make it a weights day; tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and warm, so that may be my long hike day. I need to make it a priority and the work will be there when I'm done.

I hate tailgaters, too; it's one of my biggest driving pet peeves (although, TBH, all of my driving pet peeves are pretty big). I'm glad I didn't read those stories till after we got home today; took the boy driving again...on real roads again...eep.

Kimbur-thanks so much! I really didn't know that it had gotten that bad. I was depressed and just didn't care. So sorry about your dental woes!! But impressed at all you've gotten accomplished today. So far I've prepped dinner and got it into the oven. And that's IT!

Cassie-Daddy wanted lasagna, so that's what we're having that. Albeit, not as healthy of a dinner as I would like, I still made the better substitutions where I could. I shopped well, and I don't think it will hurt me horribly today. Besides, AF was wanting it too, so I had to please 2! I hadn't planned on posting before and during pics, but it was one of those "why not" kind of moments. Thanks for the kudos! I still have a ways to go, but I'm getting there and it's getting easier. I even reached for an apple for breakfast yesterday **sigh** the fat girl of old is fast becoming a stranger.

As I was driving into work Friday all the cars in front of me kept pulling into McD's and I thought to myself EEWWWWWWWWW! When before, I would have done the same (sometimes twice a week). My breakfast order of old at McD's: 2 sausage biscuits (because they were BOGOF and who can resist a bargain?), 2 orders of hash browns (again, cheaper than buying just one) and a large sweet tea. I'd eat the hash browns on my 30 minute commute, one of the biscuits for "breakfast" (yeah, technically I had already eaten) around 9 and would normally eat just the "meat" out of the other before lunch. And then would have lunch. Now I can't imagine eating that crap!

Speaking of food--gotta go check on the pasta. Ciao!!
