Set Backs Make Us Stronger

(source)

At least I hope they do.  I got the scale to move, but it moved in the wrong direction.  Oops.  On the plus side, I got lots of rest this weekend.  It was a fabulous long weekend, I just should have moved more.  I will be correcting that this week and hopefully I can get the scale going in the correct direction.  Nothing is fitting tighter, so that is the upside of the scale news this morning.

In other news the Gruene 10K is this coming Saturday and I am excited.  My hubby Daniel will be walking it with me.  My awesome friends Kasey and Roberta will be running it.  We will be spending Saturday afternoon at Gruene Hall enjoying music and a few ice cold beers (of course).  One of the best parts of all this is that instead of a 4 day work week this week, I have a 3 day work week!  YAY!  We will be leaving for Gruene on Friday so I took that day off.  Daniel only works until 11:30 AM on Fridays anyway, so he didn't take the morning off we will be headed to Gruene as soon as he gets home.  I am looking forward to a weekend away and a nice long walk. 

I hope the weather we enjoyed this weekend continues, but some rain this week would be excellent.  The wild fires burning in Texas are devastating and we could definitely use some moisture.  I've been thinking about everyone effected.  My thoughts and prayers are with those in harms way and with those fighting the fires.  God Bless Texas!

LOL. Remember when I posted Today is the Day and I linked to one of my fave blogs, Honey, I Shrunk the Gretchen?  Well, she is launching a super cute site with cute tees and such from her blog.  I love this one!

Duh Moment

I had what I wish I could call an ah ha moment this morning, but it was really more of a duh moment.  I hope I am not alone in my duh moment, but if I am I guess I am okay with that.  Anyone else burn their fingers on the little metal thing that holds your curling iron up off the counter?  And when you go to use the iron you have to fold the metal thing down and owie?

Future Burned Fingers

Well...if you don't let the metal stand touch the iron it doesn't get hot.  DUH!  I consider myself to be a fairly smart gal...but sometimes I am not so bright.

No Pain...WOW!

Speaking of not being so bright...I had pizza for dinner last night.  Certainly not my wisest choice, but I mentioned yesterday I was having a very average food week.  It wasn't bad that I chose to have pizza, I could have easily had one or two small pieces and a big salad, instead of eating 800 pieces of pizza like someone was going to take it away from me and not having any veggies at all.  I am not going to waste time beating myself up over it.  I will just move on...the gym bag is packed and ready for a lunch time workout.  Chin(s) up.

The pen color today is pink!  This is in honor of my friend Carol who FBed me after one of my first pen posts about how fun bright colored pens are.  Well, she FBed me again last night to tell me that she found some pink pens at home and she was taking then to work with her.  Yay for bright colored pens!  Enjoy your meetings today, Carol!

Happy Friday everyone!!  Have a fabulous long weekend!!

Yellow

Yellow is the pen color today and my teeny tiny post-its are down to the lime green section.  They look nice together.

In other news I have finished The Devil in the Junior League and I will be starting The Help tonight!

My eating plans are going average this week.  I am not expecting the scale to budge again.  But I am a work in progress.  I loved yoga on Monday and I will be at the gym at lunch today and tomorrow.  I skipped yesterday for lunch with my friend Kelly.  YAY for lunch dates with good friends!

Happy Thursday!  Especially to those whose Thursday is really their Friday...like my husband.  (I'm not jealous, I swear.)  :)

Sammy isn't jealous either since every day is her Friday.
