Sorry I was MIA yesterday. It wasn't by choice. I had to train my new backup/coverage for vacations person. So I couldn't get online. I got on late in the afternoon and read through most of the posts though so if my responses are outdated that is why.
Monday was a great day. Tuesday was also but today I have some sodium weight from dinner last night. It was one of my favorite dishes so I am not concerned. I know in a day or two it will be gone. I hope it takes some more with it.
It has been so cold even during the day that it is too cold & windy to walk on lunch at work while wearing a skirt and I bought a new one this weekend so I had to wear it. Yesterday i couldn't because I was stuck training my new backup/ vacation coverage person. Let me tell you...my OCD was in high gear wanting to just take over and do the job for her so many times yesterday. But I resisted because I knew she had to learn at her own pace to absorb it.
Ann ... Welcome back. It's nice to hear you are settling into your new job. Now get to that gym today on lunch and join up. I love that you are aware that you need to do it during the day because night time won't work with your new situation and are going to do it anyway. Your daughter will soon adjust to the day care / home difference in rules and potty training and hopefully she will soon potty train at day care as well.
mhibdon ... I just want to second the crock pot. If you hate to cook the crock pot will be your friend for a long time. .... I think you have posted much more since you feel you won't be here next week due to your addiction than you have in the past. Are you trying to overcompensate?
Amy ... Definitely a success when everyone has school clothes on before they leave the house! Your Halloween sounds so busy but also wonderful. I didn't use a special carving kit to do the boxer pumpkin. I used a razor knife (the kind with the snap off blades) and a straight razor and a large metal tablespoon for scraping. No fancy tool kit here. I did slice my thumb pretty good during the carving though LOL. I have had candy for breakfast before too. Hopefully the kids soon have picked through what they want out of it and the rest can be slowly thrown out when they aren't looking.
My boys are 13 & 14 and neither even asked to go trick or treating this year. Guess they are too old for that now. I dunno. ... I have to agree. I think we are very similar. I have spent many days doing 'nothing' and ended up with a clean house.
Quinn ... Your open house sounds just wonderful. I wish that my neighborhood was a community like that. But they aren't. Heck I've lived here three years and only know three or four neighbors.
Darlene ... You are gonna totally rock that Christmas party dress. I just know it. ... I like tootsie rolls too. They are one thing that I don't mind allowing myself from time to time. And Congrats on another 2lb drop!!
Mike ... on the BMI thing... I don't know that I will ever be considered 'normal' either. The thing says normal for me is under 174lbs. I am 5'10" and I do consider myself a large framed person. Not just to say that I am big boned so that I can be fatter. I am broad and tall. Not a petite woman IMO at all. ... I go to the OB/GYN in May and that will probably be my first mammo scheduling at that time. She said before to start them every 2 yrs at age 35 unless I had problems sooner. Well, in May I will be 35 yrs old. .... What kind of funk hit you this week? No goals, bidding on a bike, eating like crap? WTH???
I had some other notes written down here for commenting but I can't remember what they pertain to so I am sorry if I left someone out.

Main80 I do not know if there will be dip we are going to a trendy new restaurant and we are already hearing grumblings from some of the couples about how their will be nothing to eat but grass and raw fish.
I am very excited they have received great reviews and have a very modern west coast menu so I for one will eat very well that night.
Amy Frozen toostsie rolls never thought of that I freeze my chocolate for that reason. I ate 2 rolls yesterday one 10gram skinny tootsie =30 cals that’s a treat I can live with. Great health goals yesterday.
Ann Good luck with the potty training.
April Training is so frustrating sometimes but good for you overcoming the “just let me do that for you” thinking she probably learned a lot and will be helpful in no time.
I have to fly my parents have arrived in town this morning and I am meeting them for breakfast. I will eat rye toast and PB and have coffee so I don't start the day loaded with sat fat.
Enjoy your day everyone.

I'm here. Just got back from "Wednesday Walkers", it's a program at the school. I don't actually walk I just punch cards for the kids so they can keep track of how far they've walked/run/skipped. It's a fantastic program, I can't help feeling like I'm watching the future of the track team. Our elementary is the only one in the district that does this, so that actually might be true.

Just drooled on my keyboard. Between your description and the smells from the kid's lunch next to me in lab, I am about to eat someone... or my computer. Whichever is tastier. D:
