So how was your day? Did it include any thrilling thrills? Did you get a workout in? And how did your eating plan go? Were there temptations in your path? How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

I'm definitely thankful the work day is over. Just couldn't wait for that 5PM whistle to blow. I think the expression is some days you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you. The bear was most certainly munching away! As far as the homefront goes-well if you can't beat them join them. Well I'm almost to that point. I've got golf clubs in the living room along with a box full of new photo albums that DD ordered, a fishing rod in my bedroom. I dunno....

I was rather surprised on my arrival at home when DS'was gone, DS' car was gone and so was Otto. It's not often that I'm not greeted at the front door with him leading me to the kitchen to either be fed or see if he can con me out of an extra dinner(it has happened!). I looked all over the house in his favorite resting places until I noticed that his leash was missing. I started dinner and lo and behold they both appeared. DS had taken Otto to the auto parts store with his friend and then Otto and DS' friend's dog got together for a play date!

Eating was OK although somehow a few Dunkin Donuts Munchkins ended up in my mouth this afternoon-hate when they're in the office! I did enjoy my WW chicken parmesan pitas this evening. My only problem is it's now 7:45 and I have a bad case of let's see what else there is to eat.

The weather today turned out absolutely gorgeous! Of course I was indoors for the better part of the day but it was nice to have the sun out, the humidity lowered and a lovely evening for a walk.

Hope you all had a great day and will have an enjoyable evening.

Hey there Susan. I got a call from my boss about 11 and he asked me to come in and give him a hand. I ended up working 12 till 5 and I am going in tomorrow. I really wish he were staying, because our relationship is great.

Before I headed into the office I grabbed a protien shake for lunch and a loaf of Italian bread for dinner. We had left over sauce with meatballs and sausage. I made some sauteed zucchinni for myself to add to the pasta and I stayed away from the meat and the bread. Just finished cleaning up the old kitchen, older son is in the shower, middle son is out riding his bike, dd is watching cartoons, and DH is outside in the dark......lol, weeding the front garden beds. Don't ask!

I ate well but never got my exercise done. Other then that it was a good day.

Did you really mean to offer me another chance to whine???LOL I think I'm done for the day, whining and working.

I got in a short walk with my sister and then a short run on my own.I don't know if you guys have noticed that I'm stressed today :) and the walk at the track almost did me in.First some guy is there half dressed and carrying weights as he walks around the track.He was pumping and swinging the weights as he went.Then the crew shows up to mow the football field which the track goes around.Two mowers going in various directions.Ok, then the guy decides to run but not on the track.He runs on the field, in and out of the mowers way.Then 2 young guys show up and they run one lap.Then they do 2 maybe 3 sprints on the field in and out of the way of the mowers.Then they run one more lap and leave.Next a helicopter circles overhead!There is never that much activity there!It was exhausting!

Food has been pretty good but yes always temptations!!!

Weather, cloudy. I want a day of complete sunshine!

Thursday was a wash. I made time for lunch, and had a healthy one. Deadline Friday + balky printer = late night. Got home around 9. No workout. Pre-dinner on the train ride home was a small snack bag of Cheezits. Dinner was a slice of lukewarm veggie pizza, salad, and my trusty glass of milk. Washed my face, brushed my teeth, think I flossed, and went to sleep. Real thrilling!
