Oh! I wish I could have one of your kittens! What do they look like? Was it a big litter?
Tomorrow I am helping my sister move some stuff. Then maybe rent a movie and relax! I need to go to bed early and get some extra rest because ...........
I will be running a 10K (6.2 miles) race in Portland on Sunday! Woo hoo! I am all pumped up for it. The farthest I've ever run is 5 miles but in my heart I just know I can do it and I'm excited to accomplish this. My goal is to run a half marathon (13 miles) next spring and then hopefully work on a full marathon by next fall.
There is a new Ikea store in Portland and I've never been to an Ikea store ... so after I run my race I'm going to go check it out.

Hi Ruth!
It takes eating 3500 calories to gain a pound ... there is NO physical way you could have eaten that much to gain 7 pounds! No way! It has to be water or some other issue that is causing that ... it will come back off! My fitness coach told me that when you increase your activity, your body holds onto the water so you actually need to drink extra water to help flu**** out of your system. So, it very well could be water retention. I know it's hard not to worry ... but it will come back off!!!
I stayed the same AGAIN this week (167.25 lbs.) for the millionth week in a row! Okay, it just seems like a million weeks!

Yes, Thanks Jean. It got slightly darker thank goodness, and will go very nicely with the cream top half of the walls, when I get around to doing them.

Hi Ruth
you can go up from water, and or getting ready for that time of the month ,or just not having gone(#2) much... you will not go up from eating right... your body will let go of it.. 
if you stay on track...
I will go up 3lbs and then drop 4 in a few days from all that stuff... its ok just stay focused...
as for me
I have lost 145lbs
I lost either 1 or 2 this week and I am at 137, my personal goal was 135.. but now I think I would like to be 125 (which I think will happen when I have my plastic surgery in Oct)

Woohoooooooooooooo 
It's the weekend! What are you doing?
I'm planning on a relaxing one, recovering from the first week back at school (and work for me). I am visiting a friend, and taking her one of our kittens that is ready to leave momma cat. I also plan to paper the bathroom - yes I still haven't finished it yet ha ha.

Come on, I want cheering up...let's hear all your wow moments, no matter how small you think they might be.
1. Now the children are back at school, I've had loads of the mums commenting on how much weight I've lost over the summer, and how trim I'm looking!! (Even if the scales haven't moved - they don't know that do they hee hee 
)
2. The mile walk upto school now feels like a 5 minute stroll, not a 50 mile hike like it did this time last year 
3. I can still breath while bending down to shave my legs in the shower

Last Week - 169
This Week - 176!!!!!!!!! WHATTTTTTTTT THEEEEEE **********!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday morning when I got on the scales I still weighed 169, today they have shot up 7 pounds! How can that be - typical. All summer I don'****ch what I eat, and bounce around the same numbers - ok I'm fine with that because I know why. The minute I star****ching and monitoring and improving in many ways, AND start being more active (and NO it's not muscle building stuff either) I go up 7 pounds OVERNIGHT!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Most Active
