Just know that I'm thinking of you all, between the posts here and in the bat cave.
But in case I don't get back - I hope you have a fantastic trip Laura!!
It must be month end for you too, @Glinda1971! I remember us saying we're both in finance. This week has been brutal!

ETA it's actually @spamarie 's phrase but all you Brits use it so....whatever.
I'm pretty sure I (over)use it too. I'm sure it won't hang around too long, still, is a bit rubbish!0 -

Brutal here too. We're also working on a merger and making the new ICD-10 codes work. The finance problems I had solved by Monday afternoon. I am not sure if the states of Tennessee and Virginia are going to let the merger go through...it may be a lot of work for nothing.0 -
Small win: Colleague just asked if i wanted anything from the baker's. I do, very much so, want a yummies (a doughy/pastry type thing with lots of icing, similar to a yum yum). But i said no.0

That's awesome! I wish I could have some of that willpower today. Sadly, I'm not sure I will.

749 invoices to get out the door and the person who is supposed to help me decided it was a perfect time to do something else. I'm not her supervisor but I'm going to talk to my boss when he gets back next week. It takes 3 full days to do just those so now I have that much more to catch up.0 -

So I'm up 0.2 pounds this morning. Considering the way I've eaten this past week, I am actually calling that a win. However, a friend just sent me photos from our rafting trip this weekend, and I am appalled at how I looked. I need to buckle down! (I'll post the offending pic in the batcave. No way it is going up here.)0

I went on a walk at lunch yesterday with a co-worker so that was good. I'm thinking about walking again today.
I have today and then half a day tomorrow for work so I'm in vacation mode already. This weekend I have my Red Rocks concerts so I'm really excited (Pretty Lights Friday and Saturday). Hopefully no one laughs at me since I'm older but I bought jewels for my face so I'm going to put those on and I have Glowbys for my hair (fiber optic glow barrettes for hair). I'm just going to have fun. I'll try to post a pic in the batcave from my phone later of my trial run of the jewels to see what you guys think.
Friday morning we are going to Original Pancake house. Strawberry waffles and home fries here I come. Yay.
Cool! I used to be a raver and did all the decked out gear at one time. I've been an EDM DJ for over 5 years. I remember when Pretty Lights was just an up-and-coming midliner. Now he headlines all of his shows. Do you by chance like Bassnectar? He is always doing shows at RR.
Yes, I actually like Bassnectar as well but I've never been to their concert yet (I'm determined though!-I need to just go, I need more money haha). This will be my 3rd year going to the Pretty Lights Red Rocks concerts so I'm really excited. I look forward to it every year. Tickets sell out so fast though.
That is awesome that you are an EDM DJ. We would get along pretty well. That's my favorite type of music. I'm kind of jealous, I always thought being a DJ would be pretty fun!
This is all very interesting... Froggy, I think that you should skip the counseling and find a new romance. A single guy, with similar interests, who doesn't snore...
I was thinking THE SAME THING @girldownsouth!!!

Have you tried PB2 apparently it is amazing for those who love peanut butter.
Do I earn a space on my BINGO card for this?!

Not to make everyone sad, but I read this secret ages ago on Postsecret, and it really stayed with me. Although it would be hard to stay with a pet until the end, after reading this, I could never leave.
I've always stayed. I'm Mama, and I am with them to the end, cuddling them until the vet officially pronounces them "gone".
I also have this weird notion that I have to pretend to be upbeat and cheerful because the dogs have always picked up on my emotions and I don't want them to feel my sadness. Although I guess I've never fooled them.Will anyone have any sympathy for me if I say that for the first time in my life I'm having trouble keeping weight on?
Since I've bumped up my exercise with the stairs etc and weights, I've been losing weight again, (slowly but still), although I feel like I'm eating so much more. I'm tracking and even going over what should be maintenance but it's still continuing to drop bit by bit. Eating is a chore at this point, which I never thought in a million years would even be possible.
I'm worried that it's rendering the exercise pointless if I'm not building muscle. I don't want to be putting in all this working-out, stair-climbing and strength-training effort for nothing so I'm kind of frustrated. And quite frankly, I don't really want to be any thinner at this point. My clothes are getting too big, there's an inch of empty space in my bra cups, and my rings are super loose.
I have never in my life felt bad for people who claim they can't gain weight (because how hard is it to just eat some more?!) but it turns out that the answer seems to be that it's a lot harder than I thought.
Loads of sympathy here, I'm having much the same issues.
Whereas I liked the idea of losing some BF and getting definition, I didn't want to lose flesh off my chest and face, which is where the loss is the most noticeable.
Last summer I dropped 5 lbs (that I didn't need to lose) because of taking hardcore antibiotics... I digested nothing for two weeks. Right after that I was on vacation and my physical activity increased significantly, plus my eating got a bit erratic just because of weird scheduling, and I only managed to gain 2 lbs back. Dedicated myself to lifting and eating higher protein in January, but it has still taken me a year to return to my normal weight.
I was hoping that building muscle would ADD some weight, not just shrink my boobs.
DON'T SAY THAT!!!

I would LOVE to ride a horse. I plan on "roping" pizza, breadsticks, dessert pizza, potato wedges, and maybe even fried chicken.
Well....come visit me. I can help you fulfill that dream.
I almost tagged you in my post about horseback riding. I haven't done it since I was a kid, and Mr. Mo and Rachael never have.
Well you make it to the east coast and I'll show you around NY and take you horseback riding!
Life goal! I NEED to make this happen!

We call them yumyums where I live. You've made me want one too! I shall resist purely because when we have a big DIY week, we tend to have a big takeaway week too.0 -
I am very happy it is Friday. I am ready to sleep in a bit tomorrow and then head off to a graduation for my friend's daughter who is graduating from college. Hopefully I won't go overboard on the celebrating.0

I didn't stay with the first pet we ever put down..our cat, Bowie. I thought it would be too hard. I felt guilty every day after that...just imagining him there without his family. It still makes me so sad, even now as I type it.
When it was time last summer to put our dog Pacey down, I stayed the entire time until the very last few seconds. I didn't want my last view/memory (whatever you want to call it) of him to be after he passed/stopped breathing. But I held his paw and snuggled him the entire time up until the second before his last breath...and he stared right into my eyes the entire time. (I'm bawling right now typing this)...
Then just a few months later when our cat Steve had to be put down, I did the same thing.
It's still so hard to think about...but I feel much better knowing that I was there with them. Just still feel so bad about Bowie. If I could go back, I would.
I made the same mistake once.
I did it once, too, and never again. I will never again be there at the exact last moment. When I put my ChiPom down, I held his paw and I can't shake the memory of how it was. I wish I could remember him any other way.0 -
I confess I am sooooo ready for (American) football season. I have changed my profile pic and am currently wearing my Boise State polo at work. I am team mom on my son's team, my hubby is asst coach. We have season tickets to the Boise State games. ARGH!!! Kick off, already!!!!0

Blame me all you want, if blaming me also entails you sending me some zucchini bread.
Also, I STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO POST PICTURES USING MY PHONE.

LOL, that's about the only good thing about dropping my body fat so low. Losing them makes me positively gleeful, apart from all the extra cup space.0
