Seems like everyone is doing good, particularly with either 30DS or Holiday planning/packing.
Well, I'm finally done with my 'days away'!! Meetings all behind me, stuck to the diet pretty good, made good lunch choices from the buffet and ate lots of fruit.
Went to the gym straight after work tonight and did 40 mins on the treadmill, doing the Galloway walk/run thing.....quite enjoyed it actually. Must remember to put my iPod in the bag next time though!!
Then it was straight to slimming class, where I discovered that I am down 5.5lbs (over 2 weeks as I missed last week), so achieved my 3 stone (42lb) award with lbs to spare. I also got my exam results this morning - passed with 71% so well happy!!
Good luck with your personal challenges....and please can we have some more pics of the kitties?????

Sadly I still haven't started yet. We had field day yesterday and being in the sun and the heat all day wiped me out. I came home, showered and took a long nap.
I hope to do it tonight after the kids go to bed. I just need to do it. Once I start, continuing will be easier.

Eliza-- you are 'bloomin' like the 'lil' english flower you are...
quotd--either way. These sound like wonderful people. Sometime I sense my great grandparents around--it's rare but they have a lot of people to keep track of lol.
And of course-- you ask for kitty pics, you get. Here's what I like to call Misty pileup:
In the backyard:
QOTD: I would take our Ipad only because it has doubled as our camera for the past year and I have not downloaded any of its pictures Plus we could communicate with family quickly! All our apps are on there
Great practical idea!
CONGRATS Eliza!!! 5.5 pounds in 2 weeks is AWESOME!!! Way to go on the exercise, too!!
Pjlla! Praying for your daughter! Not good to start Disney feeling low, but that nice sunny weather should really help clear up those sinuses!
Thanks for the prayers. Just got a text from the chiropractor that they can fit us both in this afternoon as well, so we should be feeling much better by this time tomorrow!
Love the kitten pictures, I'll have to post some of our feral cat's kittens, they are 6 weeks old now, we have them all trapped in our garage trying to get the mom to come out, she's been in there 5 days but will not play with us..the kittens are great..found a shelter who will spay/neuter them all and find homes for the kittens we can release the mom once she is spayed...we have 4 more feral cats we are trying to catch...sigh
So wonderful of you to take care of these kitties and to take steps to prevent more of them.
I am so excited about weighing in tomorrow! I know I've lost some more from my 3 pound loss last week, hoping to be that much closer to 180s! I have about 2.5 weeks to get my goal of 185...YES!! Shaved 3 minutes off my 5K time...that was awesome!!
Wow, lovely kitty pictures. Misty looks like a very tolerant mum with all of that climbing going on!!
Ducked out of zumba tonight. Can't seem to get warm today, so having a hot bath, a baked potato with cheese for tea, then an early night.
One more day at work then it's a long weekend as Monday is a public holiday here. Am planning for the gym again on Saturday morning but probably no bike riding as the wind here is horrible at the moment.
Back with my WI tomorrow morning............
Good afternoon!!! Been busy. However I did find a camera cable and now I am working on my nature pics and all that jazz. I am still new to all of this.
Here is a pic of my first poppy flower. I planted these seeds LAST spring and then forgot what they were. They stayed alive almost all winter outside. I took it in for a little while though. Here you go! This is actually from my phone. I finally figured out how to crop and save.

QUOTD Thursday 5/22
In face of an impending disaster which possession would you try to save? Photo albums don't count or pets, we'll assume all loved ones are ok.
For me--top of my head--my purse I guess, that or my glasses lol.
Good morning everyone.
I am sorry that I haven't updated the front page. I will be doing it tonight. I have been busy every evening this week. I only have yoga tonight so I will be doing it after school.
Have a happy and healthy day.

I am thinking about signing up for Weight Watchers again. I used it quite a lot for previous weight losses, but then I think I got to the point where I got to good at "gaming the system". But I see that they changed their program to a certain degree since I last used it and am thinking that something new will keep me more accountable. Also, they now have an iphone app, so I hope that this will make tracking easier. I am a bit tired of tracking, but I also know that's the only way I can lose. So hopefully shiny new toys will give me the boost I need!
Good Friday morning everyone.
It is rainy and yucky here in jersey. It is supposed to be this way until Sunday morning. Lucky me, I get to work on a deck tomorrow morning in the rain. IT is either then or Monday and I don't want to go Monday. Sunday is my niece's graduation party. She graduated yesterday and thanks to modern technology I got to see her get her diploma.

What is your favorite park? WHY?
Have a happy and healthy day.
And Pamela, thanks for the advice about how being tired can cause hunger. I think that was really the case for me with the jet lag. My body was feeling tired because it was still used to the different time zone and I had a nasty head cold on top of that. I am feeling a million times better now and suddenly my eating is much more under control again. Unfortunately napping during work was not really an option!
You're welcome! Sometimes just KNOWING why you can't seem to stop eating helps!

Just finished my 30DS for the day. I think even though it is still a challenging workout for me, I do see that I am better at it this time around then when I was first doing it. So that is at least something!

TGIF!! tomorrow is a mani/pedi Groupon with my DDs that we gave them for christmas. and just in time for summer...i'm so ready for a pedi!!

Ugh - had a long post and it got blown away! No time to retype so just a quick one now.
Pamela - have a great trip!
QOTD - Magic Kingdom - you can't beat stepping onto Main Street and looking down to wards the castle - especially if you manage to get in early with not too many other people. And I could watch (and sing along to ) Wishes every night...
Thanks so much!
Scale inched down another pound today! Was hoping for 2 but that's OK. Only down 1 this month, but down 3 in 2 weeks since Chicago. Hoping for a big week to reach my goal.
Have a great day all!
Down 1.6 pounds! I am betting I can be in the 180s next Friday! Need a loss of 2.5 to get it done! Lost 3 last week so I know this is doable! Ripped in 30 and 5k training are whipping me down into shape! Only 33 pounds to see 150s on the scale!
Another WOOHOO!
OhMom, my mom had the most extensive mesh surgery ever completed by the top surgeon in Memphis..she has nothing but mesh covering her entire torso...11 hour surgery...it took her 3 months to feel 80 % better and another three to have little to no pain..that might help you know yours should feel better soon!
Favorite park is Magic Kingdom!! Love the nostalgia of trips as a child

Well, we only go to Disneyland. But I guess my favorite 'land' would be Adventureland. Indiana was down when we were there and I was just thinking last night we need to start planning our next trip 'cause I miss it. I didn't even tell my husband it was down until we got there it's so huge for us.
QOTD - Favourite Park...well..........guess it's Magic Kingdom because it really is 'Disney' to me, it represents the Disney I grew up with on the TV here in the UK.
