I second that *sigh*, I weighed myself today, probably because I didn't want to accept the fact that I didn't change since last week. Kinda glad I did cause I lost a pound which puts me at 214lbs. I have made a quiet promise to myself not to repeat last week....I can't afford it if I want to achieve my mini goal by July 1. The weather is REALLY hot here right now, and I see young girls wearing next to nothing and I try to imagine myself wearing the same, well at least I have a sense of humour. Hey, even if I was skinny mini, I still wouldn't wear those outfits cause my paper white skin would burn peoples retinas.........ah well I've figured out now that my life isn't going to be the same as others.

The big day tomorrow. I get my big Bone Scan done. I won't have the results for another 3 days, but at least I'm on the way to knowing what sort of damage I've done to myself.

I love checking out the other blogs. It is great to have pictures to go with the names. Yet another idea for you Hopeful, is to maybe put a little spot on your blog with a picture and a little paragraph about the people who are on your site. I really did enjoy seeing the pictures of Adriane and Martha and thought that it made me feel somehow more connected. Just a thought.

I was supposed to go in this morning to the guy who does the body fat testing....but I called first and found out that he wasn't there. He'll be there on Thursday. I know I've lost weight since last month, however, I (like the rest of you) am feeling down and out and not really excited about what is going on. Here is the good point to all this:

I've been told by a few different people now that if you slow down and give yourself a little break, your body actually thinks that things are done--you've stopped losing weight...THEN when you go back to exercising and eating great your body gets going again and you continue to lose. I'm counting on this philosophy and hoping that when my husband comes back and I get back into exercising regularly my body is going to freak out and drop 20 pounds on the spot (okay, a little unrealistic :) --- we can all be a little "hopeful" right ?

Later Ladies---and thanks for sharing the photos. I loved them (even the one of Adriane's Cat's nose!)

Adriane, I'm putting that pound in the books! cool!

Molly, good luck with your bones! and I heard that theory too. If you plateau a bit, it's a good idea to take a rest and then mix it up a bit and change your routine. It makes sense to me.

yeah, I have to work on re-designing this site a bit and adding a more personal section that links to other sites, has pics, etc. I love that idea.

hey, adriane, I love your kitty! She's cute!

I know what y'all mean about something in the air. But I think it's pollen here. My eyes are itchy, and I have a lot of congestion. Maybe that's why I'm so tired. don't know. Last night I slept on the couch for 3.5 hours, then went to bed and slept another 10 hours. And I still had trouble getting out of bed. I need a job that will allow me to take a mid-afternoon nap...
