alligatorrob: Yeah and right now we are having wonderful thunderstorms everyday at about 4pm, too! Made the power flicker once.

I really love a good thunderstorm, we actually had one this evening in Utah, one of our 4 or 5 a year. With the mountains and clear air here they can be pretty impression. Nothing like Florida's though. Enjoy Kimmy, by November or so it will cool down.

I'm inspired by your goals section! I hope your week is going well!
Does any of you meal plan? I was thinking of writing down possible planned meals, so I know exactly how many calories are in it without having to constantly log it before eating it. That is one thing I don't like about trying to lose weight. Having to log everything you eat. I think I would rather try to pick from a "menu" with the calories already calculated out and keep to that for a day.
Goal #1: Switched to Splenda in my coffee with some creamer.
Goal #2: Been doing my squats and pushups. But usually only 30. 3 sets of 10. And these are on my toes, even!
Goal #3: Been hard to stay motivated to do this one. But me and the hubby have thought of an idea to use small placards to remind ourselves to do something. So I will try doing that.
Goal #4: Been drinking Gatorade zero lately and staying away from the soda.
Goal #5: "Ride my bike to work." Still working on buying the bike light. I had to buy stuff for the boys for school coming up soon.
But, I have lost 2 lbs just by doing what I have been doing, so I'm getting there...slowly but surely.

Love that quote!
This may be a cultural difference but in what way is modern Gatorade not like soda?
LaMaria: There might not be that much difference between the two, but for now, that is a better option than soda, so it's a win for me. I have been looking up on flavoring water naturally, like with fruits and that sort of thing, so I will probably try that soon.
Back down to 150 lbs today! Yay! I think cutting out the extra sugar has helped a lot, because, other than only eating when I'm hungry and only eat till I'm full, I don't pay too much attention to my calories.
Other points, though, to make that I have been doing is: I've been eating more scrambled eggs for breakfast, eating on smaller plates and moving more.

Moving more is good! Wasn't there a Honeymooner's episode where Ralph went on a diet and was limited to eating only what he could fit on one small plate? As you can imagine he got quite creative in filling that plate. Maybe it wasn't the Honeymooners, but it was some old TV show. Anyway I sometimes find using smaller plates helpful too.
Rob, I'm not sure about that show...don't know if I ever saw that one. Thanks for the reply!

SMART goals...ever heard of this one? I like the idea...stands for Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Timely. If our goals are smart, I think we might get somewhere!
I finally bought the stuff for my bike! It should arrive by Friday! I ordered a seat cushion, rechargeable bike light and a 3 in 1 rain poncho. I'm so happy I finally was able to get it!
Lol, how perfect is that picture?!
