2. Ten pull-ups in a row! (Can do six.)
3. I paid off all my credit cards this morning!!! Goal is to keep them that way.
4. Fit comfortably into my tightest pair of size 10 pants. Don't really care what the scale says.

- Learn and use tarot cards - already in progress
- Help win Letnick campaign - grow connections
- Be more involved with community charities
- Invest money wisely - LOOKING AT BUYING A CONDO!

I wish I could hit a powerlifting comp. If that happens for me, total bonus!1 -

I've been scale-free for quite some time now, and it is wonderful!
I need the accountability to the scale. Otherwise I convince myself I am not gaining weight. When I am. Even if I miss a few days.
I've been very good about logging and working out. Totally honest with all of that so I know that I'm doing everything right. Obsessing over the scale was driving me crazy and pretty pointless. I'm much happier now. I get that some people need it though. Whatever works.3 -

Thanks Kelly! It's always super great to see you! And happy anniversary to you too!!! Are you planning to go to Silly's to celebrate? 
We will go to silly's if they're open. They have stupid winter hours!
Didnt you try last year and it was closed?
It was closed for renovations on our wedding anniversary in September of this year. It was closed one or two other times when we tried to go..can't remember when though.0 -
Good luck with quitting drinking, Patricia!

Big Fat Positive. It's a term used often in forums for those trying to conceive. 2 -
Done with my last patient. Getting ready to book out of here for the evening. I am really glad to see so much activity today. It helps get me stirred up and headed in the right direction as far as getting my stuff together.5

I'll bet you could surprise yourself if you sat down and painted something. Abstract isn't right or wrong.. it's just expressing how you feel and moving paint around.

What I want to know is what's with the obsession with LEGGINGS right now? I had to shop for HOURS and in like four different malls just to find ONE pair of pants that weren't leggings in the stores here.
I only have one pair of leggings that are NOT for the gym, and wear them very rarely. All my other leggings are gym wear, and I wear them constantly (going to the gym, not for athleisure).
Me too. Leggings are not an attractive look on me. But I wear them constantly at home. And yoga pants.
Me too! So comfortable.1 -

I do have a cute pair of leggings I bought with mesh.
ETA for running. Purely decorative. It's layered on a colored section of cloth.
I would be ok with that. I don't like actual see-through mesh panels. They don't seem functional for the gym, and I know there would be weird bulging.
Yeah, I am not a mesh person directly on skin.0 -

Mine has been killing me for weeks. My last wisdom tooth is growing in and the whole area around it is swollen and inflamed and the gums around the tooth are now the creepiest shiny-white color. It got so bad a few weeks ago that I had to live on just smoothies.
Yuck. I had my wisdom teeth out before they ever came in. They had to cut my jawbone to get one out. That was some serious pain. I should quit crying about this crown, comparatively.

Barely. I have been hugely unmotivated. I have not even been riding during the week. My trainer and I have gotten into a bad habit. She texts me 'you coming tonight' and I reply, well if you don't want to wait and both horses are ridden I can skip. Then I go home, have a bath, go to bed. Then get up go to work, skip gym. I am a mess.1 -
