Nathena~ Sandy made a good point a long time ago about making your mini goal something you can reach in a reasonable amount of time and then change as you go. I had my first mini goal close to my actual goal like you do and I read Sandy's post, moved it and felt so good when I was able to reach some kind of goal within a few weeks. I know it's just a mental thing but it really worked for me.

lemon and dill salmon salad is yummy...and i like to put balsamic vinegrette on it..... i started putting all sorts of things on my salad to make them a more filling meal....i will put left over collard greens, leftover scrambled eggs...whatever sounds appealing to me that day...i know it sounds weird...but..its actually yummy.....and fills me up.

is everyone picking accountabilibuddies..i really think that it will help keep us focused and strong.... (this is a required homework...! usually the homework is optional....but, i feel very strong about this homework...and if you dont pick a accountabilibuddy..i dont think that your really serious about this...and you want a way out...something to whine about in the end..when you fail...lets take this serious...and get off of our whiny butts...and move our butts to reach our goals!! (im not a big loser...but, i am serious about watching what i eat and moving my butt...i just dont seem to be losing as much as you losers! but, i will....its just going to take some time and me getting myself to sweat!! ) you people are awesome!

Sandy i have never heard you be pushy! im glad your hubby likes your homework....heres another.

HEARTBREAKER HOMEWORK...if the weather is permitting.....go on a late night stroll..on the beach. (DONT RECOMMEND YOU GOING BY YOURSELF...)..(if you even have a beach ...lol) or have a picnic in the park on a nice day...take a romantic lunch...in a cute basket or something....dont forget the blanket..(wine glasses are more romantic than solo cups!)..(if weather doesnt allow where you are....have it indoors! with candles..and some nice music... (if your not married..or involved...you can still enjoy this assignment with a friend....or your kids (if you have them) get out in the world ...and enjoy it!! make time to smell the roses......we are only on this world for a short time...lets enjoy it....and eachother.....

i hope that you enjoy this assignment....and if anyone would like to post homework for us...please feel free to....i think it would be great to see what we can come up with!! LOVE YA HEARTBREAKERS!!

Now that is amazing! Great job Heartbreakers!

Also, I've noticed a lot of other people want to do the weigh ins, so this is the last week I'll be doing it. Someone else can take over next week.

CATHY SO SORRY I'M LATE..... I lost 3.5 lbs!!!

i just weighed in with Cathy too...JOY..but, ofcourse im only down a pound...i usually go up and down all week long....even though i eat very well...im stuck at that 185 mark...but, thats okay..i know that it will come off..... BUT, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BIG LOSS! JOY..YOU ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING SO AWESOME AT YOUR BRIDAL SHOWER AND AT YOUR WEDDING!!


OKAY..ABOUT THE WEIGH INS...WHO HAS TIME TO DO IT AND WANTS TO DO IT...?? IF INTERESTED PLEASE LET ME KNOW....THANKS!!

Okay, I'm caught up...WHEW!

Bridal shower was fuuun... I got a lot of nice things (including a corningware baking set and a pyrex mixing bowl set! Is it dorky that I'm excited by that? LOL)

I only broke two bows... Only two kiddo's for me haha.

Today was crazy for me and I'm so sorry I had no time to check in on my wonderful heartbreakers! I was at work from 7 AM-Noon, my party was from 2-4 (although the first guest arrived right after I changed from work...), and then I had a graduation party to go to, which I'm just getting home from.

I probably ate far too much... but, I'll deal with it. I ate a banana, and then came home STARVING.. ended up eating chips and such (although not too terribly many) and cake.... then a few cookies at the party, but I think it was still far less than I normally would have eaten.

I will try to get some pictures up.. I may have to create a photobucket account.

The graduation party..wow. Ha.. for those of you who know what ultimate frisbee is, I played a LOT of it.. and for those of you who don't, it's.. a lot of running and screaming. I ran around for at least any hour.. and I wasn't even tired. I'm so shocked. I used to hate the game, but I was actually the one who started it...and it was hopping! So much fun, I loved it... I'm glad I'm finally starting to like these things.

Thanks for listening everyone!!!!

Ok, I added you and Joy in. Also, its not that I didn't have time to do them, I liked doing them alot, but some of the other members didn't think just one person should get to do them every week. & got rather nasty sounding about it. So, I'm just giving it up. I don't want it if someone else wants it more.
