Wow Lots of catching up to do. Darlene - congratulations on the job. Having a good week so far. Managed to go to Zumba tonight -- a new instructor I like better than the old. Eating well , lots of water -- 1000 calorie defecit. Bought myself 2 new exercise tops today and new curtains for my bedroom. Guess that counts as something nice for myself. Mary
OMGoodness, I love some Zumba! Even though my instructor is thisbig and has more energy than the Energizer Bunny! I also love buying new things for myself. It always makes me feel better when I'm down.

When life throws you curveballs, it's up to YOU to decide whether or not you swing away or go down looking. I'm choosing to swing away.

1) 6 glasses H2O daily. Come on, if I can't drink 48 ozs then I oughta cluck at a duck and sniff a truck (this is my imitation of Steven Tyler's odd {and more profane} sayings on American Idol, which I no longer watch.) 11 boo yah!; 8, maybe 9
2) protein is my friend - eat this - yes; yes till it's coming out my err ears
3) sugar is not - don't eat that -yes, yes
4) Oat bran is yummy. Tell myself that as I eat it once daily.- yes, yum; I made it into a kind of gruel even Oliver Twist woudln't eat and no one would say please sir I want more
5) 20 minutes or more of movement a day (I mean I'm not 90 fer goodness sakes and there ARE 90 year olds more active than me. In fact, I know at least 3.) half hour at least, no
6) be a stretchy mama - yes; yes - but no polyester!!!
7) write two hours minimum a day 5 days a week - yup at least; class today
8) stop being so pissed off at everyone which I'm telling you right now I failed Monday morning on a GRAND scale, an EPIC scale, hell, an OPERATIC scale, (chewed DH a new one, no, no, no two new ones while singing opera about "my rights") but will try for the rest of the day and the week. Yessir. - trying, EPIC FAIL
9) stop cleaning DD's room for her, you dirty (or clean?) little enabler you - Yup ansd I did not pick up after her, make a special dinner or let her skip chores and she cleaned out part of her room : woo hoo; T: no room cleaning on anyone's part
Tori, how many miles are you willing to commit to, at one time, while on vacation? I may be able to go Thursday evening... If you're game.
Hmmm that's a tough one. I can't really say, I never really commit to any set number at a given time. I always go with what my knees and asthma will allow me to put in all at once. But I'm game to push myself, a little (it is vacay after all) I'm pretty sure we don't have any set plans for Thursday yet. Tomorrow I'm booked all day though. I STILL haven't seen my cousin, and really really have to before we leave. I'll let you know though

Didn't log all my calories until after posting yesterday and was actuall quite high (1900). Today was better at 1400 so I still have to get 100 calories before Sunday.
I have to make sure that doesn't become obsessive as all the food I am eating is completely good.
I did have 10 grams of 70% chocolate as I had to whip that craving in the butt. I've had very few so that one surprised me a bit.
I hope everyone has a great day tomorrow.
