    My weight is inching up even though I'm under limit and exercising. Don't know why it's so random sometimes.

    YES!! BEAR!!...Now...choose either SO FUN...cute blue kitty w/orange stripes and colorful floating hearts...OR...SO COOL...two cool penguins, one w/red sun glasses, the other w/purple sun glasses B) and colorful hearts floating around. It's up to you, my friend!! Such a hard decision!

    All this Valentine talk is making me want chocolate. Chris I will have a free day on Valentines Day. :wink:

    Kathy they make me laugh also. Why are you down?

    Congrats!!! Good going! Shelley! Woot! Woot!

    A free Valentine's Day will work IF it's only the 14th. Now, that's not a worry for me...this Sunday is. The kids come over for Super Bowl...SIL has asked me to make my nachos...I did get FF sour cream and sweet potato chips. At least I didn't get my kind of beer, and I don't drink DH's stuff...ugh! We'll see how it goes. I do have my soup and will get all my exercises out of the way before the party starts.

    Today is my REST DAY, so I'm going to finish my book and start another one.

    Hope you all have a wonderful evening and a terrific Saturday!

    That's what I will probably do or just have my bean soup, and let them have at the nachos. I have a lot of fruit sitting on the counter, too.

    Hitting the gym this morning w/DDD then walking w/DH then getting on the bike. It's supposed to be a beautiful day today. Going to enjoy it!!

    My MIL has taken turn for worse, Hospice says end may be near. We're all taking turns being with her during day. Have engaged sitter for nights. If I don't post, that's what's going on. SIL and I have pledged to take our walks to de-stress and to eat our veggies.

    Hi ladies, I finally have a new modem/router and back on Internet. Will catch up on the posts.

    Shelley thank you for the pep talk.

    Clara, very sorry. Sending prayer your way.

    Chris, I'm having a few friends over. I'm not going to worry about it.

    Paula hope you're well. Just trying to get it together.

    I will. All of you help.

    Date night tonight and Super Bowl tomorrow.

    Enjoy!

    Penguins Paula, penguins!

    Clara we all understand. Hugs to you.

    Chris and Kathy, I try to not eat more than double my normal days calories on super bowl type of days. Still having fun, but easier to get back to normal the next day. But right now I am going to win this healthy life style! Ok, healthier! :wink:

    Kathy you are so welcome!

    Ok tonight as I was rushing to the bathroom after a long movie: I thought wow, I am stepping out and feeling great! Just like John Travolta in the opening scene of dirty dancing!

    WALK LIKE YOU OWN IT MY FRIENDS!

    Shelley. (Yes I made it to the bathroom just in time!)

    Kathy I was down a couple of pounds in just a day. I knew it would nor stay, but that it was in the right direction. So the next day I was up. But today it is down to 148.8. So back in the right direction. WOOHOO for us. B)

    Chris sounds like you had so much fun. And yes, penguins it is. I mostly listened to the game. Spent time with my grandkids. Then weeded in my little aquarium again.

    Mother in law is doing somewhat better. Still under hospice care but maybe she'll be around a bit longer? Waiting to see what hospice nurse says. But she's having a good day today, able to talk to grandson, and eat a bit.
    Indulged a bit too much at my Superbowl party last night, but today's a new day!

    I was down three yesterday, then up one today. Random random pounds. Just know they're bouncing in a lower range now - that's all that matters. :blush:

    Shelley, Rocking the profile pic! Love that one!!

    Kathy, hope date night and Superbowl was super fun. I live two cities over from SantaClara (where the Super Bowl was held) it was crazieee!

    Chris, How was the weather in your neighborhood today? Stunningly amazing in Half Moon Bay!

    Clara it is wonderful and a blessing for all good days. Glad to hear. Hugs

    Today was nice here also. Snow is almost gone Paula. I am also bouncing on the scale! :laugh: Thanks, love that one also.

    Chris glad that belly is shrinking! :blush:

    Was down this morning. Then took some meds and about 8 ounces of water. Then remembered Chris always says she is lower later in the morning. So jumped back on. Hey, what gives? I was up. :wink:

    Were you up 1/4 pound? That's how much 8oz of water weighs! :laugh:

    Shelley...ya gotta weigh yourself AFTER you sit on the potty BEFORE you eat or drink anything!!!!

    And...the later in the morning thing is only if you're still sleeping. If I wake up at 5:30 and weigh my self, I weigh more than if I'd slept until 7:30 then weighed myself. ...ya gotta stay in bed!! :D And don't weigh yourself after your shower if your hair is still wet. That'll cost you...especially with your long tresses!! :p

    Chris, You've got it!

    And it helps if you don't eat the night before. And it's okay to get out of bed for potty trips. Two potties are better than one! And if you don't like a number, just fast in protest until that scale behaves itself. That really works!

    We're silly! :laugh:

    I am so rolling on the floor laughing off my *kitten*! And since my hair is down to my waist it would add loads when wet! So glad I got my two silly friends going. :)

    Weighed in at 148.8 this morning. Still going the right direction! :)
