Hi all!

We're off for a little hike in the desert. It's beautiful out, no rain (finally!). Back later for a little steak on the grill.

Angie - good for you for not beating up on yourself! It takes a lot for somoene to get comfortable with themselves in life. I'm a lot further along than I used to be.

Hi to all - enjoy the day!

I've eaten pretty well for the last couple of days. Knew I was going out to eat at a fancy restaurant with DH and his work last night, so I ate lightly during the day :) And yes, the dinner was worth it...

Good for you hiker!

... this is the last day of travel assignment and that means..no more eatting on the road, I think that will be big help and easier to find time for curves...figure this gives me two extra days a week for stuff.

Going to be a lot of adjustments for ya ER, give yourself a break if you feel a bit anxious, good change is still stressful! (exercise helps lol)

Zoe, my sister just moved in, so I'll be seeing a lot more of her. Her and BIL are staying with me while they search for a place.

Enjoy your w/e and your time with them while they go house-hunting!

We broke the diet to celebrate DS's graduation a couple of days ago. I didn't even think about dieting... I'll never be that Nicey-nice person, or that Totally Cool Laid Back person that I've always wanted to be, or even that Little Miss Perfectly Efficient person *by a long shot* but I can pretty much look at myself in the mirror and be okay with who I am, what I'm doing with my life, and how I feel.

Hi Angie, I love what you are saying about not being "that" person, lol - I keep trying to change into the person I think I "ought" to be - that's never gonna happen, ha ha!

Have had a sloppy last few days re food and walking, but today I ate well and had a nice walk with a friend and fresh air! It was perfect weather. Believe it or not I WANTED to walk!

Take care, all!

Nice to see you gentle! Good luck!

I had a nice cookout full of evil food. Loved it. The leftovers have been good as well. The gym was closed yesterday, but I did make the effort to go.

Hiker - yikes, sounds like you've been busy, hope you have a chance to recoup!

ERTravel - hope your traveling is going well and that you are home enjoying your company.

LOL - I love evil cookouts Tweety - we had one of those yesterday too - muahaha (evil laughter). :D Very yummy! I was good though and went for my 4-mile walk with my friend, so that I hope evened it out, hehe.

Angie - sounds like you are doing well - emotionally can be the hardest part to overcome and you are doing great!

Blue - your hike sounds wonderful! I took my kiddos to the lake yesterday and let them splash about, did a little swimming too - it felt wonderful!

Zoe - yeay for walking - it is such good exercise! We have been really picking up the pace to give ourselves a good workout and I can sure feel it, but it's a good burn - LOL! We did our walk in less than an hour yesterday, so that was awesome!

Hi Gentle! Sounds like your hubby is getting into the diet spirit, that is a good thing - it's so much easier when you can work on it as a family. That doesn't work at my house, but my hubby doesn't really need it and neither do the kids, so that can make it somewhat of a struggle.

Hi to anybody & everybody I may have missed!

Hope everybody had a good, safe Memorial Day Weekend & hope this is the start to a happy, healthy week for y'all!

Wow, great to see you back! :)

(chuckle)

Zoe - yeay for walking - it is such good exercise!

I'm feeling pretty good, actually, "not so fat". Not that I think I have lost any, but being active just naturally gives you some confidence and better posture and etc. Foodwise I'm still behaving compared to before - I'll probably weigh myself next week!

Zoe, being active does do that.

I hope to go to the gym today after work today and tomorrow. I don't have any excuses not to.

Zoe - I agree completely, nothing like being good to your body to make you feel good about it. :) Yeay!

Tweety - good deal with the gym, you are doing great with that, keep it up!

Well, I got back too late to walk last night and it was storming like crazy, so I skipped that yesterday - first time in days. I will go walk tonight though when I get home. I ate well, so hopefully that will help.

Hi to all!

Have a happy, healthy Wednesday!
