Mary, temptation follows you like a shadow today, doesn't it? Good plan on protein shake, the beans and tilapia. That's one of my favorite fish. And kudos on the exercise! Have a great day!

Thanks, Mern, but that was Quinn who got the compliments!!

I did get an older man at the post office a couple weeks ago. For some reason he looked like he had been working on cars in the middle of cornfields and when I held the door open for him, he said, around the keychain in his mouth, mind you, "You shur are purty!" So, um, nope.

Although my son did tell me last night I was a "cool mom" and hubby tells me I'm "really hot for 43," so I'll take it!

Mern, your dinner sounds delicious! Hope you enjoy it.

Mary, best laid plans, right? Love, love, love, pawning naughty food off on others . Enjoy your day and your dinner as well.

Mern - no whip for you, you do your fair share of exercise regularly. I had a good day out with mum and sis, had a salad for lunch and got a bargain on a new top from one of my favourite boutiques, 2 sizes smaller than usual.


Quinn - I'm sure you deserve all the compliments that come your way. Once when I was in Italy ( and lighter than now) two young men walked past, pointed at me and said Coca Cola in a sort of sexy way, I said to my friend that maybe they thought we were American, but an older Italian man overheard and said no, they mean you have the shape of a coca cola bottle and made an hourglass shape in the air, I was so pleased.


Cassie- sounds like things are going better than you thought they would, so glad if they are. You didn't say what sort of cake it is?

Joanna - I love my little garden, my sister designed it to be low maintenance and it is, I just do a little weeding and water my tubs on the deck, then I sit back and enjoy.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words on my exercise attempts, now I feel I have to try to keep up the walks as often as I can, you're subtle but you're good.

Quinn, I posted this to Cassie in error, but now I'm giving it to you because I'm sure it applies: "Oh, I forgot to give you kudos on the comments about how great you look. Now you know GUYS don't say that unless they mean it. You must look really great!"

Cassie, I'm glad you told me I made a mistake--thinking it was you who got the compliments. But I've seen your pic before and agree you "shur are purty." Wow, "cool mom" and "really hot for 43" are great, too.
Oh, wow, our dinner WAS delicious. Thanks.

Lizzie, you are so sweet. I'm better on exercise than I used to be, but some days I just don't want to do it. You know what I hate? I hate sweating from exercise. I always have to take a hand towel and bottle of ice water to the gym with me and take a shower as soon as I get home. And then I always take another shower before going to bed. DH hardly breaks a sweat when he exercises. Maybe when I'm skinny I won't either(?).Yes, that's our intention--gently nudging each other to exercise or do better in meeting our individual goals--even while acknowledging that none of is perfect. We're all here because we need accountability and encouragement from each other.

Would be a good day if not for the wine. Of course the wine led to more frank discussions than my son and I would normally have and since he is going through a recent seperation discussion may be good. . Next weekend his ex-wife is visiting and we too will be sharing too much wine. Love and support them both. With her I will need to create a new relationship as we both want that. Oh if only life were simple! LOL Mary

Hey ladies, just checking in briefly. I didn't want y'all to think that I bailed on y'all this weekend. I've been out fishing all day and just got in. Was a good day though. It looks like I'll be eating redfish tomorrow. I had a monster redfish get caught up around the boat motor and when my buddy went to get him with the net, he missed it and scared it off and if broke my swivel. The one before him was 20" and this one was much bigger, I'm guessing 24-26".

Oh the worse thing about "the fish that got away" is that when I was fighting him to the boat, my back started bothering me. As soon as I got home I had to take 2 Aleve.
