Good Girl! I will ask you tomorrow, and I will know if you're lying!

Yep Cynthia you better be careful around the queen mother. She knows all and sees all. lol

Hey Heartbreakers! I hope everyone had a wonderful day.

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been on my puter wouldn't work this morning I did resisted the screaming halloween candy but it wasn't easy! I have found myself a decent chocolate alternative! Chocolate rice cakes snacks! They are yummy, only 5 grams of sugar and 60 calories per serving! 7 of the mini cakes are a serving and that's more than enough to get my chocolate fix!! Thank you all so much for your encouragementl, I needed it!

Sandy, I listen to you too! I think you have some wonderful suggestions!!

Love you all!

Good evening everyone.... I am just now getting a minute to check in with you al. I have had such a busy day today. I'm about ready to crash into my bed and sleep right threw my alarm tomorrow morning.
Only one more day and then I have two days off to try to relax a bit. My mom called me tonight and invited us to dinner in Sunday. I am excited to go and see my parents, but I was also looking forward to having time off to relax and not have to worry about going anywhere all weekend.
I didn't get any exercise in today, I didn't get home until 6:30 tonight ( our "short" faculty meeting went for 2 hours) and then I had dinner and have been working on report cards and stuff until now. My eating has been good all week. I have avoided the candy monsters well. I had a few pieces of sugar free chocolate which I allowed for in my points but nothing else.

I have to tell you the highlight of my day today. A few of my coworkers told me I looked good today. Actually their exact words were that my outfit made me look sexy today. They meant that in a good way, which made me feel great. I always ask Mike before I leave for work how I look and he always answers ok. So it was nice to get an unexpected compliment today.

Well I am sorry for the long post, I had a lot to say today I guess. I hope that you all have a great night and I will check in again tomorrow! Hopefully my day isn't as bad tomorrow!

Oh yeah,..... what is this piggy bank thing everyone is talking about???

Julie the piggy bank thing is something Sandy told us about. You give yourself $10 or so at the beginning of the week, and every time you slip up, you've to take a dollar away... Then you get to keep the other money for whatever. I think? I'm not doing it; don't have that money to spare, lol..

Sounds like everyone is having a great week! I have been so good sticking to plan! Thank you everyone for all of the compliments on my hair! I am just still not sure what I think of it. Now it seems more burgundy than red! Hubby calls it purple! I will try to post a better picture over the weekend!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Big HUGS!

The Piggy Bank Challenge.... you get money at the start of the week. (it's Sunday for me) It can be ten dollars or ten quarters, whatever you can afford.... Every time you screw up (like don't exercise, go over points...whatever you set your challenge at) you put a dollar (or quarter, etc) in a jar for charity. It's up to you to hold yourself accountable. At the end of the week you get to put what's left in the Piggy Bank. When you reach your goal weight you get to spend what's in the Piggy Bank on new clothes or a special treat, as long as it's not food. And you have to tell us what you do with it, it will give us all more motivation to fill our banks. If I hang tough for the next 2 days I will have the whole ten dollars to put in my bank. Yay me...! Oh yeah, don't forget to give the money in the jar to your favorite charity, no that's not you. Mine is going to a church program we have for Community Sharing. I hate to sound mean, but I hope they don't get any of my 'piggy chow'. lol
