last weekend my ring fell off in front of Riley's kennel, I picked it up, put it back on and went to bed. the next morning I got up and showered and then noticed it was missing again. We looked all over the bedroom and bathroom shook out the sheets washed them, swept under the bed (which was horrifying) nothing. Yesterday switching out Riley's blanket in his kennel, there's the ring! I don't know how it got there, I remember picking it up and putting it back on my finger the night it fell off. weird. But I'm relieved because it was my H's grandmother's ring and I felt awful for losing it.
AW - as of this morning I'm in my 140's, 148.7 which I know for a lot of you would be horrifying but I don't think I've weighed this since probably 8th grade. I bought a dress at Target this weekend and it's a medium! I know sizes really don't mean anything and different stores and brands can vary so much but I don't ever remember being a medium in anything. ever.
Re: randoms
That's fantastic, Mashed. I'm so happy for you.
mashed, that is terrific! really. i'm still dreaming about getting back down to that weight range personally.
today i am wearing a tshirt i essentially forgot that i owned, i don't think i've worn it since i got pregnant, which, hi, was three years ago. i found it when we bulldozed our closets.
Congratulations, Mashed!
Fran took yesterday and today off to get some things done at home before he leaves on Friday for ten days. When he goes on a cleaning spree he calls himself The White Tornado. He's funny. It's why I love him.
WOW Mashed! Congrats! That's fantastic and not at all a horrifying number. Anyone who says it is is getting a knuckle sandwich.
Especially because I now weigh more than you.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
That is great Mashed, congratulations!
Yesterday it was in the 90's. J got home from work and I casually mentioned how miserable it was even with fans. He immediately installed the ac's and I slept like a baby. We needed to replace the flusher mechanism in the toilet because it started running and with guests coming over this week it was on my to do list. I had the new one out and my tool box ready and went to take a call. He went in to the bathroom, saw the stuff, and took care of it. I really appreciate I never have to ask him or nag him, he just does stuff.
Tamb's baby is seriously probably the cutest newborn I have ever seen. She looks like a doll.
Wow, mashed, that's great! And that is not a high number. I wish I could get there.
My head hurts and my co-worker is biitch. That's all I got.
Yay mashed!
I hate people. That's all I've got today. Stupidity is more than I can tolerate right now.
Lies! You look fabulous. I drift between 145 and 150 and I can see you being the same weight easy.

I FINALLY finished the baby blanket I crocheted for my friend's baby shower on Sunday. They are team green and their nursery is going to be cream and sage green. Voila! (It's more sage green and less mint green in person.)
Don't look too closely or you'll see where I did 2 rows of green instead of 3. Oops! It adds character, right?
It is SO SOFT. DH said "Want to make a blanket for our bed?" And I said, "If you want it in 3 years sure, I'll get right on that."
Holy crap, Mashed, that is awesome! My weight goal is 145, so you're less than 4 pounds from what I wish I weighed. I still have 25 pounds to get there. So don't you talk down about your 148.7!
Kiz, that blanket looks awesome! Nice work.
The peanut butter cheesecake swirl brownies I made were a total flop. The brownie part is super dry. You have to drink while eating them because they absorb all the saliva in your mouth. Boo. I left them out for my unsuspecting coworkers to eat.

Mashed, that's amazing! Congrats! And I'm glad you found your ring.
Kiz, purty blanket.
I came in to work today because I had a bunch of meetings scheduled, and I was planning on working from home. Now all of my meetings have been rescheduled for tomorrow, which means that I won't get to work from home at all this week. That makes me sad. Now I want to go work the rest of today from home, but my cleaning guy comes today, and I don't like to be there when he's there. First world problems, you guys. My life is hard.

Congrats mashed, that's awesome! And you're tall too, right? That's probably the perfect weight for you.
For once in my life I don't want to be embarrassed in a bathing suit so I ordered the insanity workout DVDs. I really hope I can follow through with it and not be my typical lazy azz self.

That would make us twins. Can I borrow your clothes?
I was only maintenance running over the winter. I put back on 15 of the 30-40 I lost (I know I was around 180 at one point, but I'm not sure what I'd consider my starting weight). That meant much lower frequency, and only 30-40 minutes at a time. Right now I'm ramping up my frequency, but not distance yet. I want to be careful hurting my hip/butt/IT band area since doing too much too fast has caused me pain in the past that made me have to take a break.
So in addition to that, I also go to the gym and I do some weights. I also stop at benches when I run at night (therefore no one is around to see this nerdiness) and do pushups on them, facing the bench, then turn around and do dips off the seat. I am going to buy some 8 lb weights one of these days so I can do arm exercises after runs from home, too. When I lived with my sister, there were workout stations in the park and I used the angled sit up bench and did pull ups, too. By pull ups, I mean, jump up and hold it for as long as I could then slowly descend all the while shaking like a leaf.
ETA: my dyelemma is that I think this would be my perfect weight if not for my gut. I want to lose it, but I know my precious boobies will also deflate from C to B again. SOPHIE'S CHOICE!

Whaaaat? Between you and moo I am just shocked. You both look sooo tiny I dont believe either of you weigh what you are saying.
Congrats, Mashed.
I wanted to participate in OOTD because I need approval on this Target dress I bought, but I took a picture with my camera, and brought in the SD card only to find out my work computer doesn't have an SD card slot. Well, hell.
I had another freak out last night. This pregnancy/IF stuff is a lot of responsibility. I have ten million appointments (I have a job!) and I'm still taking meds, and I'm going to run out RIGHT BEFORE I'm supposed to stop taking them. I could spend almost $300 on refills for a total of about 4 doses. And I can't do anything in the evenings except lay on the couch and I make all this food but can't eat it half the time. I just have very specific things my body will let me eat for dinner and it's never what's already in my house. I stop at the store almost every day after work. So much for my grocery budget.
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
Awesome mashed!! So happy for you. You weigh less than I do. I was holding at 150 for like a month, today I got on that Jenny scale at 154 so I suck. Because I've been on Jenny Craig since Dec. Yes, I'm aware my cheating has been doing me no favors. Back to the hardcore Jenny. My goal is 140 so I have a ways to go.
But, again, awesome job!!
I don't blame you. I wanna be a size 8 with my boobs the size they are now....whatever that may be. I think I need to start doing something with my arms. The flapping while I brush my teeth is getting out of control.

I don't know if you guys have Aldi's there but I just picked up a couple resistence bands there for $3.00 a piece this weekend... goes back to lurking on this board....
