Hello losers!
I have a nice little chunk of time to DIS for awhile so I'm going to enjoy it. I've already eaten my supper and DH and I will go to the Y when he gets home tonight. DS is sleeping over with a friend.
Monday QOTD: Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho! It's Off to Lose Weight We Go! Those poor 7 Dwarfs are lonely -- and you are going to keep them company today (No, you are not going to be Snow White 
), What is your Dwarf name today (i.e. -- what would describe you)? Your fellow companions are Dopey, Sneezy, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Grumpy and Doc -- and you can't take one of their names!
Well, I have the advantage of answering this in hindsight and I will say I was HEALTHY dwarf
I have been trying to eat more fruits and veg and yesterday I ate a banana, apple, 2 cups broccoli, 2 cups grape tomatoes and 1 cup of carrots. We also had baked potato bar for supper. I did 45 mins of cardio and had a perfect day of eating except for a little bit too much peanut butter after my workout. I had about the same amount of fruit/veg today and my stomach really hurts!
I think I will be melancholy today. Taking DS to first day of high school. How dare he go and grow up while I wasn't looking. I swear yesterday he was just a baby.
This will be me next week and I'm also very sad about it!
Happy Monday to you, too, Shawn.
Thanks Lisa
I forgot to thank you for posting the WISH race motto - I love that and had it posted on my door in Germany so we all saw it as we left the apt. A good motto for life in general.
I just wanted to share that I am feeling pumped today. I am finally under 145!
This past week has been a good one.
Today I am proud dwarf. I did my run in my fastest time ever!
I had that cantaloupe/feta salad this summer and it was such a yummy combination but mine didn't have mint in it--it was a Martha Stewart recipe but I don't remember it exactly...
I am also "ACHY" - we had so much rain yesterday that my basement flooded - about 3 inches seeped up from the foundation.

That sounds like a lot of work. We had a water damage claim in our old house 10 years ago and it was such a pain. We had to install all new hardwood floors downstairs and move out for awhile. Good luck getting everything cleaned out
On a brighter note. I have a $20 old Navy Super Cash coupon that we can't use (no old navy nearby). It has to be used in store between 8/25 and 8/29 and you must spend $40 to use the $20. I'd be happy to mail it to the first person to pm me their address.
ooh, what a good deal, I hope someone snapped it up! Hope you are feeling better!
I did get my official 5K time, 42:32. My previous time was 43:32, so I did PR by exactly one minute. To Shawn and all the other back of the packers out there, you can definitely do this!
and
now I'm known as the back of the packer girl! ugg, I've been labelled! I'm still dreaming my 44 time will put me in the middle of some pack
For dinner I made salmon with sesame ginger marinade, chinese cho mein noodles, broccoli and mushrooms.
YUMMY!! Hope you are feeling better
Tuesday QOTD: Do you have a "brand name" item that you indulge yourself with? Do you use it as a reward for following your eating or exercise plan?
Just finished 3M on the TM, now I have to shower, grab some eggs, and get whisked to Cambridge on the subway. Everyone have a great morning, I'll be back later!
Oh, I miss my public transportation system in Germany. So quick, efficient, always on time, etc. Great job on the TM
Enjoy the ride
Well, since I am a
I have MANY brand name items I reward myself with. Sometimes for reaching a milestone and sometimes just cuz. At the risk of embarrasing myself, I will name a few: Ruinart champagne, Bombay Shappire gin, LV and Coach, David Yurman, John Hardy and Thomas Sabo jewelry. But I am careful and save my pennies too. I just bought a DY ring from a girl at work for 1/2 the price she paid for it
I've lost 20 pounds since January 1 when I started the Spring BL challenge.
I'm giving myself a new Vera Bradley bag. I don't need a Vera Bradley bag, but I really like them I also prefer Lancome cosmetics, but that's not an indulgence, that's everyday
Which VB bag are you looking at? I have several in different patterns and they are so cute! I use some Lancome products but they are SO expensive!
I just replaced mascara and eyeliner for about $76
And, YES, it's only Tuesday! This work week thing is for the birds
I went to doc today with some cramping. Trying to just relax. Doc did a test for preterm labor. Won't find out results til tonight but I'm sure it's fine.
Only problem is that worrying makes me want to eat!!!
Hope you are relaxing!
and a funnel cake with a little bit of powdered sugar and cinnamon I put on myself. I ate almost all of the sandwich, and about a quarter of the funnel cake, then gave the rest away. .
Great job
Well, I just called my landlord to let him know we are having a problem with BUGS!!! Ants in the kitchen off and on all Summer and now we are seeing in 3rooms a pile of "something" black on the upper window ledges. I mean a huge pile of maybe 50-60 small black things. DH thinks they are some kind of bug poop or residue, I don't know if they are bug eggs or dead bugs or what. Ever since I've seen them, my throat feels scratchy and my scalp and ankles are itchy and tingly. I'm pretty sure my imagination is working overtime but I want to know what they are and I want them out and the place treated before my furniture arrives. Landlord told me he just had the exterminator treat the house before we moved in which makes me suspicious
a) did he really have it treated and b)why was he having it treated-was there already a problem? I also want to ask him to install a deadbolt on the back door after last week's scare. I guess if he says no to either or both, I can always have it done myself
although I think he should have to pay for it. It's funny, landlord is not a native English speaker just like our German landlord! Here we go again...
Hope you all have a great evening and don't forget to pamper yourself
Don't get me wrong, my whole family could use a vacation now, too, but honestly, the whole rest of my life would be so much better if I was at my healthy weight now. But I'll get there . . . it will just be in 2013. 
You are a tough act to follow. 
But I am a Bare Minerals devotee. I really only wear foundation, blush, and lipstick. I've always found it easy to apply.
