Warning - it's another epic reply from me! 
Hang in there! It's always tough with so many temptations around! I think they've done studies before that found "willpower fatigue" is an actual, measurable phenomenon. So resisting at work is easy, but by the time you get home after a long day, you're worn down more both mentally and physically, and it's easier to give in.
The scale was playing that weird bouncing game with me last week. I finally just had to put it away Monday and stay away until official weigh-in. Glad you're seeing your progress in other ways though!
Good luck to you, and Rose, and any other Mickeys who are running the Princess! Have fun!
Wow, that's kinda scary!
As far as the Ambien making you wired, I usually have that reaction to meds that knock most people out. Tylenol PM, Benadryl, etc., I can take and stay up all night. So it's weird, but it happens.
Might have to look into that. Thanks! The only one I knew of that was around here was in this scary, run-down mall where a cop got shot, and actually the whole mall is now closed, but I'm sure there have to be other locations.
That is a smart idea - my DH loves Soft Batch cookies and I can't stand them!
Way to go on the 4 OP days!
I hear you on the successful career. I have a "just-a-job" instead of a career...my position is rather dead-end, for a company where I can't get promoted without relocating, in a field that I just kinda "fell into" after college and don't really like much. Grateful right now just to have the job, but still. Good vibes for you on your job hunt and hopefully it will yield an awesome successful career for you! I think, based on his life, that Walt's advice would be to pick something you love and then become a total crazy workaholic at it, and don't take no for an answer until you find success with it.
Awesome to cross that threshold, isn't it? I am first waiting to get down to 29.9 and be "just" overweight instead of obese. I did it once before, and was well on my way to "normal"...but then I fell off the wagon when I was only 11 pounds away from 24.9!
Hi Karen! Glad they have things resolved with your mom! My grandmother has been dealing with CHF for most of a decade now; it's not fun but is manageable with good medical help.
My health-related goal is to continue my back-on-track streak of having worked out for the last 3 days straight and eaten on-plan for the last 2 days. Sunday is my birthday, so dinner that night will mess the plan up a bit as DH is taking me to the Melting Pot, but I plan on working out and having a light lunch, and otherwise getting right back into gear on Monday.
I also plan on finally getting a digital scale tonight after work so I can properly weigh-in tomorrow. I did the Hokey Pokey dance with my analog scale *again* this morning...step on-step off-step on-step off...and still couldn't get any consistent average. So out it goes!
My non-health related goal is just to RELAX and enjoy this long weekend! I have Monday off -- I always take a personal day on or near my birthday if I can. DH and I started playing Champions of Norrath together on PS2 a few weeks back, and my wrist is better enough now that writing doesn't hurt it, so maybe we will pick that back up for a few hours.
Wow, week 7 really hit us all hard, huh? That's a pretty short list! Congrats to the diehards on both teams who kept on trucking and got 7/7s or even all 21/21! I think I *might* be that 4th Mickey person who reported my points but didn't get a 7/7 on anything, LOL...I know I tracked but not 100% sure I sent it in!
Have a great Friday, Mickeys!

I am having difficulties sleeping again and for whatever reason the Ambien has not been working and has in fact made me wiredLast night I took Melatonin (the all natural sleep aid) and I the worst nightmares that I've ever had. One right after another. I woke my husband as I was scared to fall back asleep as I knew it meant another night mare. I will never take that again. Needless to say I am not feeling up to par today.

I would ask Walt to give me pointers on a successful career. Someday I hope to find one.
...
I've finally dug my heels and and have been successful 4 days in a row
...
I've got over 30 applications out there so hopefully I hear from something soon. My goal is to apply for 2 jobs per day, but that doesn't always happen, but some days I do more. It takes a lot of time to job hunt.
