It has been 2 days since I have posted. I know what you are thinking...no, I didnt get sick. Amazingly enough, the virus is gone and somehow by golly...I managed not to get it! Thank God! I had a friend come down from NC for 2 days and we decided to get out and get ourselves going!!! We decided that we would make it a girls day. I left the husband and kids home, and I took a mental health day...lol..(aka retail therapy)
First, my friend wanted to get a manicure/pedicure. I said eh, you know I hate feet so I will just go with you and be your support. Somehow before we left the place...I was talked into getting my toenails french manicured! Yes, after I about swallowed my tongue, and had a couple anxiety attacks. My toes were beautiful. lol, Imagine my big 239 lb butt, yanking and jerking my foot away from this "twig" I would say she was not even 100 lbs. lol One good kick and I could have sent her flying across the nail place. But i maintained. We then went to target..and at the same time, my friend and I decided...oooohhhh brownies sound good. As we stood there contemplating what kind we wanted..we decided we couldnt eat that garbage (she is losing weight too) YAYYY US! 2 days of shopping and making ourselves pretty...is enough for me. I kinda missed my mommy world.
My weight loss is still going well...only thing lacking is the water. I am trying to build myself back up to drinking lots of water. Taking care of the family when they were sick, put the water drinking on the back burner! But no more! Sickness be gone...Water be here.! Yea, I know what great english! lol...
Oddly as this sounds, I missed reading all the blogs this weekend, I kept wondering how you were all doing. Whose losing, how they are losing...etc! Yes, I am going to need EP anon, if this keeps it up. But you all are just so wonderful, its hard not wanting to push you forward or check up on you! Ok, this is long enough...you all be good...take care...Keep your head up and smile.

Sounds like fun
Are your toes pretty? I'll bet they look great in sandals! Kudos for not giving in to that evil brownie. Good for you!
Way to go on your loss so far. You are doing amazing. And you should be so incredibly proud of yourself for walking away from the Brownie. They are my true love (don't tell my DH-LOL) so I know how hard it can be to turn away from them.
So proud of you for not getting that brownie. WooooHooo.!!!!!!
Was that a good feeling or what!!!!!
I think that was just what the doctor ordered for you....to spend some quality time with your friend and look you got your toes done! I love getting pedicures/ manicures, they are so much fun when you have someone to do them with!
I actually had my first one about a month ago. I'm doing a 100 days of exercise challenge and I think when I get to 100, I'm going to get a manicure (never had one) and another pedicure as my reward! It's such a relaxing pampering experience!
Major kudos for resisting the brownies! I have PMS so I tried to play it safe and get some of those chocolate WW muffins. Hopefully I don't eat the whole box tonight! LOL
I *love* a good pedicure. I am ticklish too. My b/f is the only one that can touch my feet and not get his face kicked. Those poor pedicure people!! LOL!!
Glad you enjoyed your retail therapy - just what the doctor ordered, I am sure!! Also glad you didn't get sick!!
Your post cracked me up! I feel the same way about getting pedicures so I never really get them either. And kudos to you for not getting that brownie, you have great willpower!
Thanks for stopping by my page. I will be reading your blog regularly from now on now that I've found you!
LMAOOOO man the way you tell it is much funnier!!!!! Glad we didnt go for the brownies either.......i made up for it in ice cream (big sigh). Anywho glad your working on that water thing! And i seriously think that when you drop another 10 lbs, go get your toenails purty again (no i dont mean a pedi either!).
Good job about the brownies. I know what you were feeling about missing being mommie. when my boys are gone for more than 12 hours i miss the terribly. also wanted to say thank you. you're the only one who comments on my blogs. i need the encouragement because only my husband knows i'm really trying and taking the diet pill. my best friend would just flip out if she knew.
Oh, why didn't you kick her just for the fun of it? Oooooh. Mani/Pedi. I am so jealous. Sounds like you had a tone of fun and way to go on resisting the brownie! We missed you too by the way :)
I love getting my feet done. I like to do a little something for myself like buying a new shirt or something but since I AM going to lose more weight I opted to get my nails did.
And good for you for walking away from the brownie.
