EDITING

I edited my journal entry for Friday because I had vented about a workplace circumstance. After reading both my entry and my buddies' comments - I decided that my rant lacked propriety. So - if buddies look back to discover missing info - my editing is the reason former content isn't there. To complain about my job seemed unprofessional on my part.

TINY CHEATS

One of my co workers had her fiftieth birthday celebration at school yesterday. There were all kinds of goodies in the teachers' lounge. I took a tiny sliver of home made CHEESE CAKE. Then last night I was SO THIRSTY for something OTHER than water or tea. My husband brought me a MEDIUM DIET COKE from McDonalds.

Today my weight is STEADY at 139. Whew!

WEEKEND SURGE!

I have geared up for a productive weekend surge. My aim is to show a loss on Monday. I just returned from a 4 mile walk with my husband. My South Beach Phase I menu is in place. My mind is set on "L" for "Let's Do It." Now all I require is some will power, determination, and resolve.

BUSY HANDS

I have TONS of school work to do this weekend. GRADING - GRADING - GRADING! I like the kinds of projects the kids have done so the tasks at hand should be easy enough -- just time consuming.

HOUSE HUNTERS

My husband has this "thing" about going to look at houses. Perhaps this hang up is because he lived in 14 various houses throughout his childhood! We have a real estate agent friend who shows him -- sometimes me too - houses ON OCCASION -- not all the time!

Today at 11:00 we are going to look at a cute cottage on the other side of town and an old fashioned bungalow in a quiet, old neighborhood. Both homes are very nice but SMALLER than ours. It will be interesting to compare.

TODAY'S MENU - PHASE I - SOUTH BEACH

B - Fat Free Cheese Slices
L - Chef Salad with Vinegar and Oil
D - Dinner Salad and Chicken Breast
SN - Tuna
WATER-WATER-WATER-WATER!

LET'S MAKE TODAY A GLORIOUS FS DAY!

Great call to aim for a loss over the weekend. I always lose it on the weekend and I'm determined to not let that happen today. Enjoy the house hunting. Funny about your DH loving to look at houses after growing up in 14 different houses. Sounds like a novel. Enjoy!

Wow a 4 mile walk. Good for you. Sounds like you have a busy weeked ahead as usual. Find some time to relax and enjoy. Have fun house hunting. Your menu looks great! Preplanning is always a great idea. I keep saying I'm going to do it. Maybe this week.

Wow - 4 miles is quite a distance! How long did it take you? And its so funny that your DH likes to look at houses, even though hes not looking to buy one - I guess its kinda like when I go out clothes shopping, but have no intentions of actually buying anything (though I always manage to somehow....) Have a great weekend!!!

The walk sounds refreshing.. I wish I had the ambition to do that today.. not really feeling well..but maybe the fresh air would do me good.. I will have to think on that one... I love looking at houses.. I wish I could talk my husband into moving... Enjoy your house viewing and your grading papers... Have a great weekend

We are all so impressed with your 4 mile walk!!! I love your attitude about being ready to see a loss by Monday. And your editing ... completely understandable. Isn't it nice we can edit here. May your grading be accomplished swiftly so that you have additional time for joyful movement!!! Take care buddy!!

You grabbed my attention with the words "cottage" and "bungalow" - I just cannot resist looking at houses; esp. old houses. Your new photo looks good...you're an inspiration.
