hahah...not to get off topic, but it's been about 107+ here in the lovely smog infested Los Angeles suburbs of the San Fernando Valley!!

Yaberhoo, way to go on not eating the ice cream! Here in hot, HUMID Alabama I could go for a nice big bowl myself. (But I won't.)

Hey Hilary.. do you think they make low carb bon-bons?? I would think.. probably not!!

Cheat free days - 1

I am going to 2 weddings on Sat July 30th, I am planning a cheat day.

Astrid

Cheat free days = 1!

Oh, crap! I forgot. I need to post another possible cheat day. August 26th is Warriorientation. Orientation day for school. It is pretty much mandatory and worth a free credit. Lunch is "provided," so I have no idea what they will be serving. Crap.
BTW: My car thermometer read 107 at 1:00 p.m. I'm meeeeelting!

One of the few times it's nicer here in houston texas.. it's only 86 right now!

*plugs ears with fingers* LA LA LA LA LA!

WOOHOO.. cheat free AGAIN!!

I AM the master of my domain!

Hi everyone!

Everyone Else who has joined us - YAAAAAY for all of us!!! Keep up the good work!!!

I am going to a wedding this weekend: planned cheat - depends on the food, cake & alcohol served, or course I plan on "dancing away" all those carbs...

Cheat Free: Two days.

Spouse decided to make a "blueberry crumble" for her place of work. (She's actually taken the coursework and earned the certification to be a pastry chef, believe it or not.) They didn't finish it since there's a lot of people on vacation. She brought the uneaten half home and it has been sitting on the dining room table since. The agony.

Pssssst.... Hey Everyone....

I told Jen that all the "cool kids" hang out in this challenge, and she says she's gonna join us over here - YAY!!!

I AM the master of my domain!

Still going strong!

Cheat Free: 2 days!

Master of My Domain!!!

Ok I'm baaaaaaaaack.... Oh boy and do I ever need this challenge. Just to give you an update. My Grandmother passed away about 4 weeks ago (something expected) Lots of good memories. My sisters were all here in town and there was a lot of food.... I started losing control. We went on vacation for 10 days..... there was no control there.

Yaberhoo...... I spent most of that time on the Oregon coast.. it was fantastic! (hey.... are you my neighbor??? I'm in SE Wa too)

When I got home it was time for a reality check.. time to put the boys on the plane to Florida.... My oldest lives there... youngest is visiting for a month. Every year at this time I have a really hard time with this... But I'm figuring out other ways to deal with stresses that don't include food.

I kept peeking in on you guys but didn't have the will power to start. Thanks to Scott and Mike..... you two cheered me on and made me giggle wildly.... Thanks, I had to join this challenge and get restarted with my healthly goals.
To my first day of being Master of my Domain!
Hugs
Jen

I was hoping for swoon.. but yeah, I seem to have this effect on women
