Monthly donuts and coffee after church yesterday. I'm in the group that sponsors it. I had coffee, but no donuts. It will be tougher in 2 months though, it's my turn to get the donuts and the person who gets the donuts gets to take extras home.
Any suggestions for next time?0 -

Give them away! Donuts are my bugaboo, my biggest craving and the things I cannot stop eating when I start. I also thnk they will pack on pounds quicker than any single thing on earth!
Once, when I had a big plae of extras that I did not want to take home I gave them to a very grateful homeless man I passed on the way. He was happy and so was my waistline. 0 -
I helped a beginner today at the gym. I'm not the strongest or the most fit, but that doesn't mean I don't have a lot to offer!0

That's a good one! Sometimes we don't have enough confidence in what we're doing to help anyone else. It's really good to get past that and realize that you do have a lot to offer!0 -
I went to a wedding on Saturday, and for the first time in years, felt absolutely smoking hot in public. I wore a smashing designer dress and really shocked and surprised people who hadn't seen me in a while or had seen me recently but not dressed to kill. I have the next family wedding in 40 weeks, by which time, if all goes well, I will have reached goal. It will be at the beach. Maybe a bikini for when we are all laying out trying to get some color? The possibility boggles the mind!0

I do almost all my walking and all of my jogging on my treadmill because it has a "soft" platform and sets a consistent pace. I would like to be able to do some of the area 5Ks, but wasn't sure how I would fare jogging on solid ground. I've had degenerative arthritis since my early 20s and have a lot of joint damage. Tonight I decided to try it out and survived 2.14 miles before it got dark enough that I couldn't see what was on the road. (I live way out in the country, on a dirt road, so some of the night prowlers are things I would rather not encounter.) I was pretty pleased for my first "outside" jog in 27 years. Actually, I'm just thrilled that I can jog at all because I used to enjoy it so much, and had to stop after several injuries. I didn't think I would ever be able to do it again.0

That is wonderful! Do what you can, but you don't have to push.0

My somewhat NSV is I ordered a new pair of walking shoes because I wore the other ones out. Not really a victory but at least the shoes are being used.0

It is a victory, MSDave. How many of us have or know someone who has a treadmill that is a clothes depository, exercise dvd's still in the plastic wrap with an inch of dust on them, and on and on. An item intended for exercise that actually gets worn counts as an NSV.0

Ok. Thanks Nikki

I really needed some "summer" pants but have put it off because school is out and I can wear almost anything to work right now. However, I have to spend 2 weeks at our State Fair and I decided I really couldn't keep hauling up the jeans I have been wearing, not to mention they would be really too warm in our building if the weather is hot. So, I decided to check out the local thrift store for something to tide me over for a couple of weeks. Score! Not only was I able to buy 6 pair of nice quality capris for the cost of the one pair of dress pants I got last week, they were all size 14! It was not a fluke! Good-bye droopy jeans!!0

That is fantastic, both on the loss and the score!0

Great job everybody! These stories are great!0

The shirt I am wearing is an Old Navy Men's Large.
Not an Extra Extra Extra Large; not even an Extra Large.
A Large.
And it's not too tight.
