The first one is some very interesting art by a very neat guy. The second is a wonderful humorous sight by a very funny lady! Just thought they were worth sharing!

OKAY - OKAY - OKAY - OKAY....
...Just a LITTLE wired this morning. Almost at the bottom of my 24 oz. cup of coffee. I am at work. Not much going on at the moment........felt like writing, so here I am. *Can't tell you what this post will be about....warning.....may be BORING! OK.....you have been warned.
It seems that in the past few months that I have pretty well devoted my blog to my WW journey, and not even the entire journey....pretty much just my weigh ins. I guess that for anyone just paying a casual visit to my blog, it is probably pretty boring. It keeps me accountable, this along with the WW meetings, and journalizing, and fitday.com.....lol....gee do I have enough accountability?? Anyway, at 26 lbs lighter, whatever works right?
A life-style change is never easy.......and there are some crazy things that we go through while attempting to make this change. At least, I do -- guess I should speak only for myself, and if you can relate.........that's a good thing--means I am somewhat normal! (unless you're some weird freak, and we won't even open that can of worms). Here is an example of some of my craziness:
On Friday morning I weighed in, was happy with a pound loss, lost 4.8 lbs the previous week, so definitely did not expect a big loss, if any. OK.......here is the craziness (deja vu): After being happy with my WI, my son, my daughter, and I.....go to IHOP for brunch!! I was suddenly the weight watcher from hell! Had 2 eggs over easy, 2 sausage links, 3 slices of bacon, hashbrowns, and 5 (yes 5!!!) pancakes drowned in maple syrup. What the hell?? Why would a person who is working on getting in shape, doing fairly well at it sabotage themselves this way?? That is the million dollar question! Needless to say, used all my flexpoints for the week (ok.....admit it, I went over by 1!). I can live through the rest of the week without flex points, the point is I have no idea what possessed me to do such a thing? Do I still feel the need to reward myself with food when I have some sort of 'victory'? DUH......I guess so. Is it because I am getting within 2 weeks of that lovely visit from Aunt Flo? - Always have the toughest time with cravings during this time.....could be. Guess I will be exercising my ass off this week.......and hoping for the best.
DAMN IHOP!! (hey if the "Supersize ME" guy can blame McDonalds instead of his own lack of self control, so can I)!!!!

Works for me!
Well.......lost 1 lb today at WI. Not unhappy with it... a loss is a loss......and after the big one last week, would have been happy to maintain. Had my 'splurge' for the week -- had brunch at IHOP. Was very good, but way heavier than I usually eat, has made me a bit sluggish. Live and learn right??!

Actually exercised...
...for the whole week. Only lost .8 at weigh in, which was kind of a bummer -- started Walk Away the Pounds series (2 mi) did it every day this past week. Oh well.......can start to see the difference in the way my clothes fit (or should I say don't really fit.....)
Anyway here is my progress thus far:

Disappointed that my past 3 weeks have only averaged around a pound per week.......but am happy not to have had a gain, and a lb gone is 1 lb closer to my goal then when I started!! Believe it or not...actually starting to look forward to my workouts......getting ready to buy some more DVD's so I can mix it up. Total gone: 20.2 -- yay~

Well, it's that...
...time again. Weighed in this morning, lost 1.2 for the 2nd week in a row. I did hit my first 10% today.....so that is pretty nice :) Now to get serious about exercise!! I promised myself that when I hit 10% gone, that I would get really into exercising.....so time to put my money where my mouth is!!! (((HELP!!!))) I CAN DO IT!!
