Whew! Made it to Thursday! Matty comes home late tomorrow ! (for the weekend )

I am whooped this morning I don't really know why... I made it to bed about 9:30.... talked to Matty around 10:00.... tried to go to sleep at 10:30.... I was up a couple of times. Maybe the thunder storms or something? I'm not sure...

But it rained all night and should continue dripping here until late afternoon... I wonder if that means we will have a dry Friday & Saturday? Which would be convenient since I have outdoor parties both evenings to attend.

So.... first social test of the week passed with flying colors!! I went to J&B's for dinner last night and they grilled out pork chops. The really good kind of thick, center cut. Nice and lean... and J grills just right! He didn't cook them to death. So I had a Tbsp. of coleslaw, maybe 2 Tbsp. of quartered red potatoes in parsley and oil, a heaping cup of green beans and app. 3 oz of pork. And it was just right! I skipped any more helpings, skipped the wine and skipped the dinner rolls! Sorry to bore you all with such details but I feel better if I record it all.... I honestly feel better about the 2 hog-roasts yet this week. I can have a little bit of shredded pork a Tbsp of baked beans plenty of veggies and lots of water!! NO desserts and NO bread. Matty will help me. He is a great support.

I got my regular 3.5 mile loop in this morning.... It was still drizzly and I love to run in the drizzle! I wore old shoes because I'm not ready to trash my new ones in the rain just yet... Not sure if that was such a good move?? That, and running every day and being a fat a$$ might be why my knee is being a b!tch. I should have sacrificed the new shoes

It was a little warm at 60 degrees but the rain was cool.... I had to keep it short today, I needed to get home and finish up a load of laundry so I could wash our sheets and start cleaning the bedroom so Matty and I can relax in there without being agitated from the mess.. Sometimes it really agitates me when I've let it get messy

I am supposed to work Sat & Sun mornings at the garden shop, unless it rains an awful lot. Keep your fingers crossed, but I don't think I'll be so lucky. It will give Matty a chance to sleep in though...

I am excited that Katie is going to the OSU party with us on Sat!! I told her that I would drive so she didn't need to worry about all that. She'll most likely stay at our house overnight.

Bev is home waiting for the carpet layers this morning.... It will be nice to have new carpet in another room... Some of that furniture was heavy last night. I worked up a sweat!

PS.... Laura!! I did not stop for a latte last night after all and it's 4 days of zero caffiene!

I better get to work here I'll be back.... Rebekah

823.5 miles ran in 2006! 176.5 to go!!
WW PTS = 23

11am...... Some days I dread my job but this week has been good. I had plenty of tasks Mon/ Tues & Wed and I'm headed into a productive Thurs as well

I feel very attractive today. I have long black slacks on and a crisp blue button up with one of my favorite choker type chunky silver necklaces on and silver hoop earrings... This blue shirt has made some kind of deal with my eyes
I actually had a decent hair day and decided to wear it down (that rarely happens....)
I have lost every last oz that I gained over the weekend!! My slacks aren't tight at all!! So I think I have mastered controlling my weight in general but now I have to stay on track to actually lose down to goal weight and then I can maintain again.

These are the kind of days that I wish I was meeting my hubby for a romantic dinner at the Fish Market.... *sigh*
