Hi all; it sounds like everyone is doing so well. I hope we all see pretty numbers on our scales tomorrow. My co-workers always laugh when I get on the scale and comment on how the 'fat gods' have treated me during the week.
dwheatl~ Great job on checking the points before you sent DD out for lunch. When you're not feeling so great it's so easy to eat whatever sounds good and you chose to make a healthy choice. I had to LOL at your use of

I have it in my siggie, mainly because I'm excited but I know DH is hoping for that actvity rather frequently while we're away from the kids.
bee~ Welcome aboard. There's nothing like a new hairdo to make you feel sexy and wonderful. I hope it keeps you going through these first few days when it's easy to give up because it seems so hard.
spongie~Sorry to hear the kiddos are whiny today. It really seems like you're having a hard time catching a break. Hang in there, they'll all feel better soon!
dis~ I hope you had a good workout.
UM~ I know what you mean about the dinner sticking with you. It seems that I can talke one bite and gain 3 lb.... ou have made fantastic effort this week, regardless of what the scale says.
DO~ It sure is eye opening when you see all the calories and fat and carbs broken down like that. Small changes are the easiest. It feels so restricting to make a bunch of changes all at once and then get down on yourself for not following them exactly.
monymony~ It's fantastic to take some time to yourself. And it feels even better when you do something good for you while you're doing it. I totally feel you about running out of things. I get called at work from time to time because we're out of something and I need to pick it up on the way home.
pixy~ LOL about the space between the washer and dryer. Mine was always behind the dryer. I couldn't get back there to save my own skin.... have you tried turning the broom upside down and using the handle to pull the stuff out far enough so you can reach it? That's waht I had to do but it kinda felt like fishing in the dark because I couldn't see over the dang machine.
I've been very good today! I had my usual toast and boiled egg for breakfast. I drank 2 liters of water before our staff meeting today so I met my goal. Lunch was a bit on the large side; 1/2 c fat free cottage cheese, 2 roma tomatoes and a WW sweet and sour chicken. I did splurge on a cup of coffee but not until after all my water. Dinner was a taco salad, beans and rice. It's about 7:30 and I'm feeling content. I'll get on the TM later, probably during ER. I'm going to try for 40 mins again.
I don't think the scale is going to give me a pretty number tomorrow. I hopped on today and it said I gained about half a pound..... I'm about ready for PMS so maybe my body is just retaining..... yuck.
Have a great night everyone!!
