Today’s weight: 145.6, up 0.6 pounds, pre-exercise. Yep, definitely hormonal crap. I had the most crazy-ass, doomy dreams of my life last night. And yet the wildest, craziest thing I ate yesterday was a salad for dinner. Okay, body, let’s stop this bullshit, ‘kay?
Today I am grateful for: 1) A Girls’ Night Out. We went to see “Magic Mike.” Now it is essential that Ken commence abwork asap. 2) Listening to my girl giggle with her old high school friends–heavenly! 3) Hearing that Sam is a finalist for his dream job–send up good vibes, y’all!
No gym today, so no gym monitor gleanings, but here’s some fun stuff:
* Explained so a 5-year-old can understand: Some guy named Steve Fitzgerald boiled down what ObamaCare means in this handy-dandy list.
* Yet another reason: I love Jezebel.
* They said it wouldn’t last: And they were right. Adieu, TomKat.
* SBD: No more.
* Ha of the day: Kate turned me onto this McSweeney’s birth plan spoof.
* Aw of the day: A baby lion and a baby tiger playing!
xxoo,

I’m off to the naturopath to hear her interpretation of my latest round of blood work, so this is perforce a short post. I’m sending Dream Job Vibes to Sam!
Today I’m grateful for: 1) My kid has been in a good mood. I mean, he’s 13, so there’s that. But on the whole, he’s becoming a funny person I like talking to. 2) Aggregated test results from my health care providers. I LOVE being able to print them all off and go get myself a second opinion. 3) Another cool day.

I’m in! Me to 122, Lauren to 129, and Betsy to 137. I fear this could take months. What’s our prize? I’m feeling under-creative. My brain cells stop working at 108 degrees.
I’m with Susan. It’s just too frickin’ hot. And, Aldi’s makes amazingly good saltwater taffy. Who knew.
T1 had a sleepover last night, and I have been stuffing my face with the leftover snacks. My teeth ache from the sugar. I am totally not hungry, so I know it’s agitation. It’s all this “I’m moving in less than 4 weeks” shit. Not that I really have much to do to get ready. Oh, the last few days will be busy, but right now, not really much I can do. So, I’m just agitated because it’s hotter than Hades, and I just want to get this over with. Like anticipating surgery. Not that you’re looking forward to it, you just want it over with. I’m also torn between the “you CAN’T go” friends on this end, and “WHEN are you getting here???” on the other. Can’t wait to see old friends, can’t bear to leave the ones here. Calgon, take me away.
Grateful for:
1) Air conditioning. Amen and hallelujah.
2) Having T2 returned to me safe and sound from her sleepover last night. This is the child that I almost didn’t have. Too scary to even imagine.
3) Leftover paint from when we built the house – it matches! We had to do some major wall patching after removing a bookcase that we are taking with us. After having a paintmatching fiasco in the dining room when we were readying the house for sale, I almost wept with joy when I saw that the paint dried to a perfect match.
Today: 126.8 – up 0.3 and totally fine as yesterday was all about rest after the E.R. fiasco and I ate some comfort carbs.
Good luck today, Janet, and also good luck to Sam!
That baby lion and tiger are precious – you know I love my cats!
Gratitude:
- A good night’s sleep with no vertigo for the first time in a week – I get it the worst at night.
- No more bleeding from hubby’s schnozz.
- Good news for college daughter on some summer work.
151.5 -1.3
I’m looking at a heavy on the veggies week. “The wedding” (eldest sister) is this Friday and yes I am the smallest of my sisters, but I am vain. I do not want to out shine the bride, but I still want my dress to hang well. And this post Alix spike is not confidence building.
I will go lightly on carbs, drink water, hoop, and get in veggies.
129.0 pounds today. Aaaack! This is bad, bad, bad. Every year, as soon as the hot weather hits, my body packs on the pounds. Ugh. NOT THIS YEAR! It’s been over 100 degrees every single day for the past week. No end in sight in the 5 day forecast.
Melanie – (depending on your goal weight) would you have any interest in a race to 120 pounds? I need a little old-fashioned competition to motivate me!
Gratitude:
-Air conditioning.
-Swimming pools.
-Frozen grapes.
Thanks for the offer, Susan, but I’m 5’7″ and my goal weight was 130 – so I’m happy when I’m anywhere in the 120s. Maybe we could do some kind of workout competition and that would lead to you getting to 120? Just an idea. I could use the motivation to get me to start training for a race.
Hey, Susan, I’m having a sluggish patch too. I’ll race you: me to 137, you to 122. Are you with me–and what do we want as our prize?
Okay, can I get in on this one too? I’d just be happy to get into the 120′s at this point. So, I’ll try for 129?
