Thanks !! I feel like not so hot this week..but seeing that 70 is nice...4.9 lbs and i will be at my 1/2 way mark ...good news i will have lost 1/2 the weight to my goal, bad news is i will still have 1/2 my weight to my goal.

I am also on the bandwagon on loosing 30 lbs to the end of the year....i want to see that 100 lb loss before 01/01/11..

I had my pitty party feeling sorry for myself cookie this morning. We have junk every Friday now! UGH! And now I'm done and over it. I refuse to eat my frustrations away! So I'm eating celery and lunch is planned out!

TOM is most definitely here, so I'm up about 1.2 lbs from last week. However, given my eating and TOM, I'm not too worried.

We're back in Missouri for the weekend. It's Jonathan's 10 year reunion, so we're headed down there this afternoon after I go get my hair done. I'm getting highlights (probably some darker color for the fall) and a trim. I'm wanting to grow out my hair, so just a little healthy trim.

We're running out the door here so no time to chat. However, much love to my other 0.0 girls - we'll get it - do NOT give up and step away from the cookies!!! Congrats to our losers!!

Yesterday's check-in
Cals - Over, but not too much considering my snack attack...and the fact that I ate like 1/2 c of whipped cream. Yes, there's no real rationale for that one!
Water - 72 oz - challenge just met!
Fiber - 20 g - challenge met!
Exercise - nada
Proud - To be back home and have my dad tell me I look great. That's always awesome!

xoxo!!

Jess: I completely understand your frustration. I'm with you, but we'll just keep trying and get healthier, if not thinner along the way.

Julie: Congrats on a new lowest Friday weigh-in!

Deb: Congrats on 70 lbs. lost!

Allison: Nice job getting into the 250s and losing 25 lbs!

Laila: Congrats on getting the iPhone you're not supposed to know about.

My scale said 187.0 this morning, which means avoiding the scale all week has not been helpful. I'm lower than last Friday, but still haven't seen a repeat performance from 185. Boo! Whatever the results are next week, I'm going to change my ticker then. I've got my fingers crossed for 185. I'm guessing the poor number this morning MAY have had something to do with the fact that I was starving when I got home last night and ended up eating Ritz crackers with port wine cheese spread. It was delicious but a bit high in sodium.

Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: Over by 172 (darn you, Ritz!)
Sodium: Over by 1240 (darn you, McDonalds!)
Fiber: Under by 3...FAIL
Water: 101.4 oz (12 glasses)...WIN
Exercise: Volunteering
Proud: That my lesson plan went well and the riders had a lot of fun.

Tomorrow I'll get lots of exercise with walking around volunteering for Special Kids Day. An organic dairy farm is hosting an even for families with children with disabilities. There are things to do like petting zoo, horse rides, train riders and organic dairy and other foods for FREE. Obviously, I'm helping with the horse rides. It should be lots of fun, but I've heard it's non-stop action from 11am-5pm, followed by the arena tear-down! Whew.

So I'm toying with the idea of going red with my hair, but more of an auburn (non Ronald...right, Nancy?) I was thinking a color like Emma Stone's hair. My bf would love it because he has a thing for cute redheads.

Heather I say give it a try!! I'm getting mine done Saturday. I bet you could totally pull off that color and if the bf likes it...why not!?
Sorry you didn't see a loss today either. It's frustrating. But were doing it for the right reasons! Sounds like your going to have a BUSY day tomorrow. Sounds like a blast though. Enjoy!!

lildebbie

heather - i bet the red would look good...i had my hair red a couple dye jobs ago, like a aburn ...hubby loved it, he too had a thing for red heads ...i didn't like it on me , it looked too dark...it was like a deep red...i want to go lighter just don't know if i am comitted to that yet

Ann, this last year of highschool has been very emotional. I got up this morning and realized that next year on our birthdays my daughter will be in college. So proud of her about the college part but so sad that she will be living else where. She has a very high chance of being excepted into several colleges in CA. Thankfully, she wants to stay here. I am kinda hoping for the college that is about an hour away from home. She is hoping for the one in San Diego and since we live around 10 hours north that makes me sad.

Happy Birthday Momma!! I am sure you are so proud of your daughter and yes I can sympathize with you on letting her go off on her own journey.Its so hard to let them go after you have taken care of them for so long.My son who is 18 will be shipping off to the military next June.Time has flown by!!

Thanks for all the happy Birthday's. I went to work in Ryan's class this morning. I thought I would leave early and get my haircut. DIDN"T Happen. Ryan decided to misbehave in class so I stayed the entire time. I wanted to get my hair done today, now I can't thanks to him. I hope when he is a grown man he appreciates me I work hard for my little man!!!!! He is so worth it though. He is my sweetheart and I know he can do this. I can too!!!!! He had been doing amazing and I know that everyone has off days. Just why on my day!!!!!

Thanks for the feedback on red, ladies. I'll have to wait at least until next week to make any decisions (pay day). Especially since I bought ChaLean Extreme last night and should have it sometime next week. I thought I'd regret it as soon as I saw the money come out of my bank account, but so far I'm still feeling good about my decision. That's the plus side of waiting a while to determine if I still really want something.

I'm so looking forward to having a more strict workout schedule to follow and to using more weights. I'll definitely be taking "before" pictures and measurements so I can visually see progress. I've heard nothing but wonderful reviews about this program, so we'll see. Oh, and I didn't even have to pay the $120 for it, which is awesome...I got it for less than half price! Gotta love the internet.

He probably just wanted to be sure to spend extra time with his awesome mom on her birthday!
