Isn't public humiliation reason enough for us to want to change? it's kinda like in Colonial Times, someone did something wrong and they were put in the stocks for punishment. Consider posting starting weight as being put
in the stocks :)

Thanks for all your encouragement. I really need it!

Had an awesome time with some great new friends last night. They came over at 5 for a cookout and were there until just after 10pm. Their girls (almost 4 & 12 yrs old) came along. I get such a kick out of watching my 15yr old "boy" play with play food and lincoln logs with her.http://cdn.content.sweetim.com/sim/c...s/0002043B.gif

I overslept this morning. I think my alarm didn't go off, hubby says I was hitting the snooze. Whichever it was. I woke up at 10 till 7 to be at work at 7. That didn't work! I got her about 7:40 and had a 20 minute drive, made lunches in there too! And I look presentable. ;) Guess I'm not much the weeknight hostess type. LOL

Tori ... Why can't Jassi go to WHN's? Is he allergic? ... My ink is looking better everyday. My skin doesn't like it very much though and it is still surrounded by a nice red border. I am so tired of people asking me if it is infected! Do they not think I would go to the doctor if it were?

Mern ... 7lbs last week! You rocked it! I don't care if it was mostly water that is awesome! ... Hope you and the grandchildren had a fun day shopping. I really wish my kids had grandparents that would do something like that for them.

Nobe ... No more trolls? Yay! You are getting back to it hard with all that cleaning your house will be sparkling in no time.

Tracey ... Love your "inspired not envious" goal.

Mike ... You are going to have a lonely ghostie this week.

Judi ... What an awesome green goal day you had yesterday!

Kayla ... You had a great goal day too!

Cassie ... WTH? How do you bake cookies and only eat 1200 calories? What's your secret? LOL

Nichaleh ... Hope your car troubles are fixed. You did a ton of walking yesterday. Good idea on buying a book to kill time with while your car was fixed. Better than randomly buying stuff to take up your time.

:o

I had a feeling I would get busted on that. Honestly, I admit it was about 460 calories of cookies but since it is tradition to bake them for the first day of school, I knew it would happen. Add in that my stomach was in knots yesterday AM due to the deposition so I didn't eat breakfast(which never happens!), plus I cooked my son's favorite meal for dinner (roast beef; had that and veggies and skipped mashed potatoes), it somehow balanced itself out once I threw a can of tuna in there for lunch. Tuna and cookies, meal of champions!

But now the guys are gone to work and school and the evil little things are singing to me from the counter :mad:.

Had to grin at the mental picture of your son and the play food :). How cute is that?

Here are the pics of the tile.

As y'all can see, I wasn't hiding this weekend, I was just busy.

Love the tile Mike! I love that natural and dark look.

Thanks April.

My ghost woke me up during the night when it kicked over my water bottle.:eek:

ichalk2up- welcome aboard- i agree that logging every piece of food that you eat really helps. I do alot of mindless eating especially if bored or out woth friends but the more im aware of jotting it down it kinda helps me stay on track.

Im a big evening snacker when im watching tv so keeping my fingers busy chatting to you guys helps me stay on track and keep motivated. Reading is a big help too- 50 shades-part 2 to be precise (kinda keep it a secret that im reading this- only my partner and closest friend whos hooked too!!!!!)

Ive done good though past 2 nights- ive discovered nibbling on sugar free ice pops does the job and stops me eating calories that sabotage my good day.

Walked today which helped me feel better- but the heat was so hot.

Oh and 20mins ago i was putting a dvd back on kids shelf and a toy fell on my head making my eyes water and my kids screaming asking if im ok then hitting the toy in anger with it! Nice to see they do care about me- can sometimes feel im taken for granted- theyre 9 and 7. Im just glad it was me and not one of them cos it really hurt. Ive took it down from shelf now- wasnt aware it was a hazard when i put it up there yesterday.

Typing so much lol- keeping these nibbling fingers busy!
