It's 10 p.m...

Many things on my mind:

• I am not really hungry. My brain is telling me I'm hungry because I'm bored and/or tired and/or thirsty.
• I really don't understand WHY "The Office" is so funny. Make a satirical TV show about teaching then maybe I'd get that.
• Buying a size 14 pants at Banana Republic is really a big deal for me, considering I couldn't get into that size 6 months ago.
• The random clean spot on our otherwise filthy carpet is bothering me. I may steam clean the rest of it tomorrow just so the clean spot doesn't stick out.
• I love my new Coach bag.
• I'm REALLY hoping that I lose at least 1.2 lbs this week... must work out tomorrow.

That is all for now...

Things that irk me

After some time on the WW boards, there are quite a few things that irk me quite a bit. I'm boycotting posting for now (except my beloved beaches thread!), so I'll list them here.

• People who have yes, lost a bunch of weight, but find it necessary to bash anyone who hasn't.
• I like Splenda. So kill me.
• People with 20K posts (approx) who literally live on the boards. GET A LIFE!
• Sock puppets
• under-nourished, over-exercising, overly sarcastic people who call everyone "dude"
• Stock market traders, ladies in particular
• C.O.W.s
• Post-its
• Being bashed for no reason, other than being me

And I'm done...

Strength in numbers

I had my biggest loss in 2 months yesterday: 2.4 lbs! Was it because I made particularly good choices? Probably. Was it because I measured out my lunches and dinners? Probably. Was it because after all this time, I finally have a partner in all this? ABSOLUTELY! I can't even put into words exactly how much easier it is to stay on plan when Adam is on plan too! We can discuss Points® and how many are in each meal/snack/piece of fruit/ridiculous meal we want. We can help each other make better choices, and that helps both of us. He lost 5.5 lbs in his first week!

What will be a challenge for me will be in 4 or 5 weeks when he's still losing 5 lbs a week and I'll probably be back to .5 lb losses. I'll need to STAY ON TRACK!
