Morning, I am up but not quite at'em LOL. Planning on a GREAT week, going to get my worklife organized so I can rest on my offtime , the brain would not relax this weekend, but it will next because I will have all my junk taken care of. At least I have the woe down so I don't have to worry about that, its an easy plan and all I need to do is stock up the frig on the weekends, if I go out I know what I am having, so NO worries there.

Hello, my name is SpeedyTurtle and I'm a Sugarholic.
"Hi Speedy"
TURTLE POWER!!!!!!!!!
Off to a late start this morning. Even late for work. I was stopped twice by Canada Geese crossing the road! According to my boss who was not born in America, only Americans would stop for geese and wait patiently for them to cross without even blowing their horns! LOL! He may be right. But they are so cute!
Not too much on the weight loss front. Just chugging along. Dh led his tug of war team to victory on Saturday. It was a lot of fun being outside all day. Perfect weather. Sunday two people at church came up to tell me that I looked thinner! Yea! And I bought a new bra. Didn't realize they were supposed to be up so high!!!! LOL!!!

lol! sheepie that's funny! I just adjusted the straps on mine and know what you mean...
For me this is early. Gonna go bike and walk... Feeling very motivated to stay 'cheat free'. I've had 2 days in a row now... Yesterday's potluck was quite challenging, but I had salad, green beans and a plain hot dog... Wasn't tempted by the desserts or Ice cream sundays! Wondering why I don't lose more weight though after days like that! lol!
Have a fabulous day everyone!

Good morning everyone! Sheepie, I know all about the Canada Goose crossing. We have a HUGE community of them down a rural road on the way to Costco. Often there are 30 or 40 fo them crossing from one side to the other. They are so darned cute. We just sit there cooing, "oooo, look at the babies, they're getting so big!". It's awesome.
I'm off to do my workout early today, I'm taking my daughter out for an early dinner and then to a Nickelback concert. I've had a horrible head cold all weekend but did manage to get some exercise in regardless. Getting it over with sounds so unmotivated, but it's the best I can muster right now.
Have a great Monday everyone!

Boy, do I feel good these days. This is the beginning of week two of induction for me, and I already feel lighter, more energetic, more toned, and happier.
It doesn't really show when I catch sight of myself in a mirror or a shop window. But honestly, how I feel matters more right now.
I'm doing something a tad differently this time. We'll see how long it lasts. Instead of doing one big grocery for the week, I'm doing a medium one. As I run out of things for me or the rest of the family, I'm WALKING to the grocery store (1.5 miles round trip) to pick them up. Yesterday it was bread and zuchini (I drove to get pet food - I won't walk to get something heavy).
So this week I hope to re-join a gym and get more of my exercise routine solidified. Maybe a water aerobics class a few times a week. Definately some weight training. I'm also going to continue to try a few new recipes - three a week seems good while i'm on vacation. And just keep plugging away on this woe, because it works, and I know it.

Haha Sheepie, mine are shockingly higher too! That is my favorite thing - a new (and smaller) bra. Congratulations. And congratulations to the hubby with the Tug-o-War. I always LOVED that sport as a kid. I was always a worthy "anchor" and appreciated being bigger than everyone else for once.
As for the geese, they ARE cute unless you have to walk by them. Then they are alittle nasty especially if they have little ones with them. I find that if I clap my hands as I try to walk through the gaggle they move out of my way (and I think they know me now and accept me, phew).
I earned 2nd place at the sand castle contest. MAN was it HOT! Burned alot of calories shoveling tons of sand tho and had alot of fun.

There are pics out online of my sand sculpture. I am having a devil of a time posting one. (there is even one of me in it) and as soon as I figure out how I'll get it up. Busy here at work today but I still made a valiant attempt to no avail. I'll keep trying.
Seems they are too many pixels.
