Joanna, it sounds like your pride is the PITA. BTW I'm joking here. I'm the same way, if I start something and discover there is an easier way I'll continue on the difficult path.
Good luck on your test!
Can't wait to see picks of the new color.

As usual you all are cracking me up.
Good luck on the exam Joanna - crush it!
I'm pretty much of a pacifist, live and let live kinda person,but when read about those senseless brutal murders over nothing ,I too want the killer to experience the same thing he inflicted on the victem.
Didn't get enough time to each a suitable dinner, so the calories are low. At least I didn't try to back fill with 2 or 3 beers as I often do: "Oh look I still have 300 calories left, let's check out that new microbrew.
Diet and fitness:
1.) 2 pieces of fruit every day Y,Y Y
2.) 1 quart of water (just plain water) everyday. Coffee, tea, propel, etc don't count Y, Y, Y
3.) Protein @40% or 90g 28%(92g), 30%(92g), 33% (88g)
4.) Carbs @ 30% 31%, 30%, 27%
5.) No white foods including rice, potatoes, or bread Y, Y,Y
6.) Limit beer and wine to 1 glass with dinner Y, Y, Y(0)
Home, work & life:
1.) Order DH Christmas & B'day gifts (his is the 26th the poor guy) not yet, 2 down
2.) Try 1 new recipe this week, Not yet
3.) Clip the kitty's claws (hate this chore, probably more than they hate it)
1 kitty
4.) Pay bills including the Property Taxes - yikes! Y-taxes, Y-bills paid (no fun $ left)
5.) Finish 2 remaining study plans for this year's research 1 down
6.) Remain faithful to the plan over the weekend
7.) Be kind to crabby people. M- Didn’t meet any, T-smiled a lot at the Post Office, I think that counts. W, so far so good, but I didn’t meet any really crabby people.
I hear my bed calling so I best respond... see y'all in the morning!

I am exhausted I had a great day I wasn't able to walk but I did clean out under the stairs I moved all the camping gear and carried the Christmas boxes upstairs. I will be up early to take my parents Christmas shopping in Victoria it's about an hour and half drive and we will be walking all day once we get their I think I will put on my pedometer and see how much ground we cover. I will take the time tomorrow to catch up on all the posts but for now I must sleep.
Have a great Thursday everyone.

Walk 25k (15.5m): M=3.3k, T=7.2k, W=0
Gym 2 days: 0, 0, 0
Squats 5 days: M=Y, T=Y, W=Y
Ab work 5 days: M=Y, T=Y, W=Y
Calories less than 1400: M=1206, T=961, W=1339
Calorie deficit of 5000 for week: M=-803, T=-1141, W=-680

Hopefully I can be on here more today and keep up with you all...no clients scheduled so it's a writing day and a prepare-to-travel day and all the usual stuff that goes with that. Getting ready to go get on the scale now and see what that looks like; I may take the big kitty and give him a weigh in as well!

Oh a brighter note I gave in to my urges just now and went and got my a Reeses Blast. I always special order mine with extra candy and no whipped cream. The girl that brought it out to me smiles and says "This is going to be the most intense thing you've even had!" I'd have to say that after going probably 2 weeks without one, it was pretty damn intense.
Quinn, you better tighten up on the bread issue. We can't be both screwing up at the same time, so you need to fly straight so I can have my pass.
I guess I'll drop and start doing some pushups, then get changed and take my baby for a walk.

Lots to do today, so it's time to get going. Enjoy your morning all!

Have fun shopping Darlene - the pedometer is a great idea. Yikes, so sorry about the whole basement thing, but it will probably be a good thing over the long haul. A little more room and one less hazard in the house, but a major expense and hassle in the short run.
Cassie, it sounds like work has picked up quite a bit (are you still working with a company or back on your own?) Your job definitely sounds like feast or famine.
Quinn, sorry about the carb news. I sure wish I could live on pasta with sauce and bread with spreads but I'm like you, my digestive system processes every single calorie.
In other news, I'm dying my hair bright cherry pink red on Monday - so excited! I've never done any crazy hair stuff, so I figured I should try it before I get too old. If it turns out awesome (which I suspect it will) I'll post some pics.
Send pics for sure!
Mike well done on the 2 policies - is it my imagination or is work picking up a bit lately?
OK, off to another exciting day! Well the first part at any rate. CrossFit this morning, but work will be mostly administrivia (like CJ says) today.
Have a productive day everyone!

Pam, work has been picking up b/c a while back I started a new prospecting technique that focuses on saving the client $, which is paying off big time. That reminds me that I need to get out of bed and get to the office.
Quinn, you have a deal. It'll probably be another week or so before I get a blast.
Cassies, you can do it. Don't give in to the bridge.
