I love it! I would love to be team mickey...no hard feelings about donald, but I am a mickey lover at heart!
Almost forgot--we did some shopping today and I tried on some leggings to go with a sweater dress I was thinking about buying and I walked out of the dressing room to show Mike and the salesperson said I could be in an ad for leggings. She is my new BFF.Needless to say, I bought the leggings and the sweater dress.

Thats a great story about the lentils rose. There are alot of things now that I am trying that I like and never thought I would. You can surprise yourself sometimes.
I bet that felt awesome to have those compliments. I really want to get a sweater dress but I dont think my body is ready for one yet. Maybe next year. I think they are so cute and I bet you look great!
Dylan is doing good with his tubes, but he ended up with another cold right before it was time to go back to daycare last Monday and then by Wednesday his ears were draining.
I freaked out the first time that happened to. I guess that is what they are made to do. Drain the fluid out so it doesnt build up behind the ear drum and get infected. It is a real pain to do the drops and the plugs but its better than the infections and antibiotics. The joys of having the kids in daycare huh. I can tell you that after a year or so they rarely get sick. So hang in there.
I am still losing almost every week.
Great job on the steady losses especially with being so busy. Hope to talk to you more next challenge.
We tried to do a christmas card photoshoot in front of the christmas tree with michael and fredward the guinea pig, but it was cut short when fredward bit michael good, and he ended up in tears.
awww poor michael. Somethings just never go as planned.

Lindsay: How is DH doing?![]()
He seems to be doing better. Friday night and sat he just sat here with a blank stare and tears and I was a bit worried but yesterday and today he was more himself. Once we get through tomorrow I think he will feel better. I think hes come to terms with it and realizes she is in a better place.
Thank you so much for asking

QOTD for Mon. 12/13: What, if any exercise, to have planned for today?
Mini-Challenge: Exercise for 30 minutes today.
Have a great day today!
Well since I am just reading this now I will reply for tomorrow. I plan to get out and do a 40 min run tomorrow morning before the services.
And I wanted to say--I think that anyone that is able to maintain or even have a modest loss over the holidays, should consider that a huge success! Think about where you were this time last year. I know where I was, and I was not eating lentil burgers for dinner!![]()
Rose that was such an eye opener for me to read this. I have been getting so frustrated because I am becoming a maintainer this past month vs a loser. It made me reflect that this time last year I was unhealthy, eating junk, and the only running I did was to my car if it was raining. I am now happy if I can maintain and maybe loose a lb or two from now to Jan 1st. Even if I dont meet my goal by the princess I will still be better off and more fit than I have been in years....and it wont all end there.
Did I tell you all that my HS boyfriend found me on FB?? Talk about a blast from the past!! Anyone else ever get back in touch with any old loves from HS or college? Was is super weird?
A few years ago my HS bf contacted me. He got my email from someone else he ran into. He was the only other guy I ever had a long term relationship with....we had dated for 6 years. At first it brought back some old feelings (for a few seconds). Then I unlike your ex I realized that mine was still a loser and thats why I finally called it quits with him in the first place.

On a different note: Im glad dh is doing well and Im sure no one will mind the "different" christmas this year. In the grand scheme of things if you dont have the cards/cookies/gifts etc its ok. At least you all still have each other right?
Well I went to go look at venues this weekend. Disneyland was my first stop.
Feel free to blab away about your wedding....its once in your life that the show is all about you...enjoy it! All the choices sounds so good. I love your vintage ideas but can understand how much work will need to go into some of them. In the end make the decision that you and dh are happy with and forget about the rest. Dont settle until you find that special place....like they say with your dress....soon as you see it you will know!
It felt SO GOOD to be out running again today. I still don't love it but it made me feel so "normal" again! I pushed to do 6 miles, but bladder issues shortened it to 5. And it definitely kicked my butt, but I walked the uphills and held my own. Time wasn't great, but I didn't really care. I felt "in control" again! What a great feeling.
TTYL.................P
Great Job P....didnt think you would hear yourself say that about running huh


Two NSVs for me today. Went to the ob/gyn and boy were they happy to see the numbers on the scale.And my size 20 work pants I got two weeks ago -- haven't even received the bill yet -- are almost too big!
Have a great evening all!
Great job Lisa....those are wonderful things to feel happy and proud of. Good for you.

I got to my 3 miles today, but it was TOUGH, super, super tough.And I think I might have over-did it again so I may hold at a 35 minute run for a couple of weeks. Slowing down and intervals may be the way to go once I hit the 2.85 mile mark, I may have to give it a shot.
When I first started I thought in order to really be a runner and get faster you had to run the whole thing. Now that I convinced myself its ok to do intervals I am getting faster than I ever was. I am currently doing 3min run/2min walk. I am finding that I am keeping a 11:30-12:00/mile pace even for my longer runs. Before If I ran more than 3 miles my pace would fall closer to 13 or 14. Give it a try and see how it feels. There are many ways to do intervals. 1/1, 3/2, 4/1, run 1 mile walk 2 min, etc. Do what works for you. A rule I tried before was when I felt like I was struggling I would stop and walk for a minute. I noticed when I would start up again my legs felt fresher and I had more umph. Good luck finding your nitch.
Ok all caught up again. I had a busy day at work and didnt get home until 7pm. We have nothing in the house and I had gotten a gift card from the dr I work for. We decided to grab mcdonalds.

We have dh's nana's services tomorrow. My MIL is taking everyone out to eat after at an upscale seafood resturaunt. Not sure what I am going to order but leaning towards haddock or scallops broiled. I am going to try to get my run in before everything starts. It will be a crazy day but hopefully it all goes ok. Dh has some interesting family members and some dont get along. I will be holding my breath for the 2 hours that it will last. Gosh you shouldnt have to worry about this stuff at funerals but we worried about it at every other family event we had with them so why would it be any different right? Why cant we all just get along.

Have a great tuesday everyone. I am off to pm my weight into shannon I ended up forgetting last week. oops.
