    Green: Yes
    Streak: 3/10
    Goal: 8/26
    Exercise: I did a quick run today. I truly enjoy slogging in 50 degree weather so much more than anything else. I'm actually considering doing it again tomorrow morning if the weather permits. That rarely happens. :wink:

    @jenthibert You're doing great with your exercise goals! Keep it up.
    @R_Queenie You're already getting your monies worth out of that bike. That's awesome! You're going to kick some real booty once you get that fan.
    @bbinoa Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You crack me up. You're a great writer by the way. You have a way writing that allows me to visualize what your saying, which has caused me to bust out laughing on multiple occasions. Tonight was no exception. Many comedians need good writers to write their jokes. You could have a hidden talent??? Just sayin.....
    @Bruceapple Hope you are doing well!
    @MelissaPhippsFeagins Sorry you have caught a cold. I hate when that happens. Hopefully, it'll run its course quickly. Also, since jury duty is only once a week for six weeks, it's not too bad. It'll certainly make you appreciate the other six days of the week though. Hang in there!
    @Rebamae Feel better soon!

    Happy Fascinating Friday! B)

    My tummy is feeling much better, finally. I ate a normal dinner last night and just wanted to continue eating and eating and eating.....you get the picture.

    So here I am:

    Goal = 23/27
    Today: 6/20 days left
    Green = 6* Chevy green barely
    Red = 2
    Streak =4
    Streak goal = 10

    It is 4:45 a.m. and I couldn't sleep. Came down to catch up with all of you, had the door open, but the storm door closed on our deck and 3 huge raccoons just looked in the door! YIKES!! So glad I had the storm door closed! I wonder what damage they have done to our yard. I will wait till the sun comes up to check it out.

    DH has a soft heart w/ animals so he won't shoot them unless absolutely has to. But, I would! Except I haven't shoot anything for many many years, in fact I was probably weighing about 115 lb. :p

    @Laughter_Girl. ... aw, that's so nice! Thank you for the writing compliment! Glad I can make you laugh :) I'm a bit of the class clown in case you hadn't figured it out (I'm sure the baton dancing recreations in my office may have tipped you off.)

    I must've worn theagic outfit today! Within 20 minutes of arriving at my office I had 3 different people compliment me on my weight loss and ask what I've been doing. Yea NSV moments!!!

    @Rebamae. ... 3 raccoons???? Eeek! Bad enough when my kids sneak up and scare me like that. Did they make a mess in the yard?

    Exercise: Nothing today. Unfortunately, I couldn't part with the pillow this morning, and I've been too busy running around today to exercise. I'm hoping to have a little time tomorrow to get in a light workout.

    @Rebamae So glad your tummy is feeling better. That's awesome!! Now regarding those raccoons, scary. Hopefully, there was little to no damage.
    @bbinoa There was nothing magical about that outfit. You're just doing that thing. Go slim!

    Still feeling sick and totally blew it three days in a row. I don't know if I care. I just want this sinus headache to go away. My 15 yo has walking pneumonia too. It's been a rough week, but this is a new one and I am ready to at least eat better.

    Goal 26 green days: 12 on 9/13
    Streak? 6
    Exercise goal 5 days: met weeks 1 & 2
    Week 3: S-yes,

    20.42 miles in 5 hours and 15 minutes. Felt good, my feet are hurting now but they were ok during my walk. We were consistent at about a 15:30 mile pace throughout.

    Green: No & Yes
    Streak: 1/10 - Starting over...again.
    Goal: 10/26
    Exercise: Yes, I did a light walking video. Today, I completed a 12 mile run in the morning and a 5K race in the afternoon. It was a busy day. Unfortunately, it didn't end as well as I would have liked. My purse was stolen out of my girlfriend's car along with another friend's. It's such an inconvenience. I definitely said a prayer for the guy/gal that stole from us because I can only assume they needed it more than we did.

    @jenthibert You did great!!
    @MelissaPhippsFeagins May everyone in your household be healed quickly!

    Today was a rest day. I wanted to do some stretching exercises, but I never got the energy to do it. :)

    @k80flec I hope you grand baby is feeling better. Your absence is excused. Can't wait to see how you're doing.
    @bbinoa I don't know what butter brickle ice cream is, but you had me at ice cream. :)
    @jenthibert Like you, I wasn't hungry much today either, but I made up for it this evening.

    Exercise - nonexistent I can't make myself exercise when I feel bad. I am going to make myself go tonight.
    Son 2 is feeling better. I am still struggling with allergies to goldenrod and ragweed. Ugh... But thanks for all of your good wishes.

    Chevy day. Over by a smidge.
    Total 11/25

    Thinking I may need to be eating closer to or at maintenance as these long run weekends are getting longer. I end up so crazy hungry and w no energy when I try to keep a deficit going :|

    @Laughter_Girl butter brickle ice cream is so perfect.... toffee flavored ice cream with chunks of toffee candy, like a Heath bar but no chocolate. And it's more buttery tasting. Pure evil.

    @jenthibert - labour day weekend with family is to be cherished - and a red day part of the experience I bet it was no where near as red as it might have been in the past! Cause to celebrate - for everyone who on MFP who showed restraint compared to previous years!! Fantastic walking pace too - well done on 20 miles
    @bbinoa - I've just been reading a thread that cites papers saying we need a break from time to time. And a fabulous NSV. You've been hiding your progress under baggy clothes methinks. And Butter Brinkley ice cream sounds just like one of my favourites (like @R_Queenie I have a fondness for ice cream). Listen to your own wisdom - you need to feed your runs!
    @R_Queenie - you're such a Cookie Monster! A cycling Cookie Monster.
    @MelissaPhippsFeagins hope you and yours are feeling better! And jury duty sounds like a slog
    @Rebamae So glad your tummy is feeling better. That's fab. Your nocturnal visitors - the raccoons, Hopefully they didn't do too much damage.
    @Laughter_Girl - you have such a generous spirit - I'm sure it would have taken me about a good few hours to reach your way of thinking - after tears and swearing. A serious well done on your running - 12 m in the morning and 3 m in the afternoon
    Edited for typo!

    Going away this weekend and my parents are coming to stay with the kids. We just moved home after 3 months of living at camp and the house needed TLC. Last two nights have been a cleaning marathon so no exercise.

    Good morning to each of you!!
    Yep, been missing - only one reason that happens: I AM EATING AND EATING AND EATING!!

    Since Saturday Morning I have gained 4 lb. Do you think maybe all of my emotional, stress and sugar graving eating has made a statement? Yep it sure has :s
    And I didn't even get to post that great new-low weight Sat morning :o

    Here are my very red stats:

    Green = 5 + 2* Chevy green
    Red = 5
    Streak =0
    Streak goal = 10
    Goal = 23/27 Not going to make this one. So today I am stating a new goal: 15/15
    Today: 15 days left

    Hope each of you are having a great Wednesday!!
