Ok... SW: 214 WK 1: 211 WK 2: 209 WK 3: 207 -7 lbs. total

Haven't felt snackish lately... I did eat 1/2 ounce of cashews earlier, though.

Seriously!!!

Not yet... Just getting ready to read Pride & Predjudice & Zombies, once I finish my current read.

Ooh, and if you like cozy mysteryies... I love the Cleo Coyle Coffeehouse Mystery Series.

I am absolutely in love with Sarah Addison Allen's books - especially The Girl Who Chased the Moon and Garden Spells. Beautiful, beautiful prose and incredible story lines. (light fantasy/chick lit) I adore vintage books and humor, so Donald Ogden Stewart's "Perfect Behavior" is one I read almost every year. The Princess…

Oh, my entire life... literally. It started with my mum and sisters and I remember insults from before I started kindergarten... right up through high school where one of the 'mean girls' I worked with actually said, "I can't see what ______ sees in you. You aren't pretty at all." When I was about 17, it was all too much.…

I'm laughing at this because... This is what would happen at my house. I hate cooking, my husband hates tech stuff.

My husband is a truly masculine man - no one would EVER say he has any feminine tendencies. And he LOVES to cook. He worked in a high end restaurant for years... Making these beautiful desserts; hand tossed, brick oven pizzas; killer bruschetta; and entrees that needed all these sauces and garnishes... My son is almost 10…

Right there with you. I've been making myself do at least 30 minutes of some kind of exercise, every day. And I feel better, have more energy... But I hate it. I'm just waiting for summer... I do really enjoy swimming, and I can do that every day.

... that my eyes change color from day to day, and as a result my driver's license says something different every time I get one!

1. Staying on track to complete the 30 Day Challenge on my Wii EA Sports program. Even though... the running is my most unfavorite thing to do, ever... I did it anyway. 2. Packed healthy snacks (oranges, nuts, string cheese) for an outing, since I knew it was going to be that or fast food. 3. Found little ways to add…

I love water: I drink 10-12 glasses per day. In the morning I fill a pitcher, squeeze the juice from half a lemon into, and stick it into the fridge. I drink from that most of the day, or make some herbal tea. I do enjoy my coffee in the morning, though.

I live in a rural town... population just under 1,500. We don't have a streetlight, gas station, or store. In fact, high speed internet is the new thing around these parts. We have no parks or tracks or gyms. But, I live walking distance from the swimming hole in the river, and we have ATV/snowmobile trails galore through…

Heh... I don't exactly have a desk job. It's more a couch job. During the day, my primary duty is homeschooling my son, so there's quite a bit of sitting involved, no matter how many activities I try to add to the day. Also, I run an etsy shop, so I spend lots of time working on knitting and sewing. Fortunately, in the…

Hi hi! Welcome.

Pretty obvious for me =) Ali Well, in full, it's Alison, but no matter how often I introduce myself as Alison, and correct people that it's Alison, I always end up being called Ali, or Alice, or Punkin. =| So I gave up and go with Ali now, since that is better than punkin.

Hi Ruth! I think you'll like it here. It's a great bunch of people.

Oh yeah... my husband slipped on my cargo jeans a few months ago... =( Took him a minute to figure out why they were highwaters.

I'm so excited to start week 3! Having you all here has made it much more fun, and the accountability factor has gotten me up off the couch to exercise when I don't really want to. I'm continuing my mini-goal of no added sugar, especially to me tea. I did find a really nice tea that tastes so delish, I don't think I'd even…

SW: 214 WK 1 : 211 wk 2: 209 -5 pounds total I lost the two pounds early in the week, and the scale hasn't budged since... However, I've been taking measurements daily, and those are changing. I did meet my mini-goal of no sugar in my tea. Actually, I've had no added sugar at all this week, except what was in the Craisins…

I'm more Native American than anything else, not that you can tell by looking at me... Then, French & Scottish. After that, we just get into the barely there traces of ancestry... Hungarian, English, Irish, Dutch... Basically Heinz 57. More interesting is the fact that through the maternal line, my ancestry has been traced…

Haha! That's the ONE thing I wish my husband would remember to do. Ah well. Small price to pay for being married to the most amazing man ever.

Housework - yes. Equal or more than... Cooking - yes. A few nights a week, and on Sundays, all meals. Food shopping: Oh yeah. He's always stopping at the store for me on his way home from work. We live an hour from the shopping center, so it's just not practical for me to "run out" for a gallon of milk!) Massages - yep,…

I was reading a book that suggested if you need a chocolate fix, try dipping a banana in unsweetened cocoa powder (about 1 tsp. will do for a whole banana). Anyway, I tried it, because I had a hankering for chocolate, but am trying really hard to stay away from processed sugars. I hate bananas... but I really liked them…

Great ideas! And The Five Love Languages... awesome book/exercise. That totally opened my eyes to how to show my husband love in a way he understood. He's one for physical contact, I'm a quality-timer. I had never realized how differently we viewed that, until I read the book. =D I was always thinking "Get OFF me and give…

Married almost 11 years to a man who is pretty much the opposite of me in every way... And it did cause friction at times, so I understand what you're saying... But... everyone is right. You can't change him. You shouldn't try to change him. However, you can ask for compromise... Agree to cook a healthy pizza at home,…

If you just updated it today, it may not change till tomorrow. Mine sometimes does that, too.

Yes. And I don't like it, lol. I feel pretty much exhausted at the moment, and my workout was less than stellar. Also, the other night we decided to get a pizza, and I did have a slice, tracked it, adn supplemented with fresh veggies... But the next day after eating it, I was sooooo cranky and irritable. Now that I'm back…

1. Tattoo - cherry blossoms on my ankle. 2. New wardrobe.
