First of all - Kat -
I lost the under 200 quote. Congratulations Kat. That's fantastic.
He was in good spirits this morning
!
Good to hear Erika. Hope everything works out well for him. Must be very frustrating.
Oh, almost forgot. Someone asked about Valentine's Day. Ours was nice but low key. We really don't do a lot for it. Saturday night we went to a wine tasting and out to dinner, but really, we would have done that anyway, so it wasn't really "for" Valentine's Day.
And yesterday all day was spent with my in-laws. Not quite the romantic day, kwim?
But last night was nice. We have a tradition where Jeff sings me something new every year (he's a musician for those who don't know--as a hobby that is, not as a profession, though he used to be professional and is that talented and can play at that level). Se he got out the acoustic guitar last night and played "Your Smiling Face" for me, by James Taylor. And I always love it when he sings a JT song because he sounds just. like. him. Exactly. So that's all we do for each other for V day. That and exchange cards. I do a little gift bag for each of the kids, but really, it isn't a major event around here.
That's so lovely.
Lucky you.
So I weighed in today and I'm down another 2.5 pounds.
!!!
Nice.
- I should keep posting here!:
Ummm. Yeah. You're like sunshine on a sh!tty day.
And you need support and some form of venting missy.
WOW am I far behind! 
11.5 miles done this morning. Did I mention that we are going to ROCK this race?
Off to catch up 
Fantastic Nancy. And yes you all are going to rock the race.
Well no work out for me today
Got a really bad headach, ate about 20 point dinner, So now I am feel all gross and going to chil on the couch.
I'm sorry that I'm such a curious person. Well not really.
Jo, what was the 20 point dinner?
JC was tonight - lost 1.1 pounds and am thrilled. Feeling a bit more in control but not quite there yet. Baby steps right?
Jesse is starting to get me pumped for the race. We are working the plan so that I can peak at the race. He is picking on me for not running, but I told him to strap two water balloons on his chest and a few around his waist and try running and then let me know how he feels. He just laughed... men... can't kill em right?
ll.
You and Jesse give us such amusement.
'
Paula, so thrilled about the loss. So thrilled for you.
water balloons
Thanks Nancy... it is a far cry from my Harry Potter esque desk that is tucked under the stairs leading up to the roof. I think I mentioned the move months ago, but it has taken six months to get the darn data lines connected (the state is very slow at these things). We should be in by the end of next week I think. And yes, I'll take pictures...
Congratulations on the new office Paula.
Amiee, I am glad you are enjoying WW, I was a few weeks ago.
But I will get there again
Hang in there Jo. Like everyone said - we all have moments like this.
Thanks!! I bought a bunch of cheap 16s (women's/Lane Bryant 16s) over xmas break, and they are all starting to swim on me. I probably only spent about $50 total on 4-5 pairs of pants and jeans, and I am more than glad to throw that $50 out the window now!!
These are a real 14, not a 14W. A bit tight but not a holy crap I am going to rip my pants tight.
My other happiness is that I can button my coat again. Ah, the little things.
Granted, I am sick and tired of having to WEAR a coat! This is the South, dammit!
Flippin' Fantastic Kat! Flippin' Fantastic.
I fully understand the regular 14s and the 14W. So understand.
I try to explain that to Jean and just gives me a blank stare. What do you mean you're a 14 but not a 14? Those pants are loose and they are a 14.
But they're a 14 plus store. Which is a 16 but not a 16. Funny.
THose are the best moments. Those small smiling moments, eh?
Me - I'm okay. Someone - who unfortunately happens to be a man (since I'm trying to be open to them in a vulnerable manner )- rocked my trust last week. I didn't say anything b/c I didn't want more flippin drama on this thread. Unfortunately it triggers more in me than the average woman. I'm just trying to make sure I express/have my feelings so I don't make it mean something else. A la I just can't do this with men - stupid and irrational leap. It hurts too much.
So I'm pretty proud of myself that I'm rolling through the emotions to come out the other side. Don't get me wrong - it's hurting intensely. But I'm allowing myself to feel it instead of letting "numb" come in. Numb adores unconsious eating - adores it. So good on me.
When it rains it pours. They want to calculate my BMI this time through testing procedures - paperwork crap. I will still read obese. I am nowhere near OBESE - not even in the same darn county. God I like to knife the person who made up the BMI. I cleared last surgery at a much higher weight - no BMI. Maybe I should take a picture of my stomach and email it to them. Laughing. It's pretty nice. Maybe I should post it here.
NOT!
Have a good day everyone!
. Yes, one more increase, which according to schedule should be a 12, but they had that the week before the race (taper is more in the short/mid runs and number of rest days). I have 2 more Mondays before the race (my long day) so I'll do one more really long, then probably an 8.
)SO excited for you. You totally deserve a big office with windows.
