We love you osuche and are glad you feel comfortable enough with us not to hide it when you are feeling down ... I know I've vented here and there in this thread, just vented in my own way.

YEAH maddy .... wonderful that you are enjoying the treadmill ... the things cost enough, so it's good that it is getting the workout it's meant to!

IAKG glad you enjoyed your splurge ... sounds like you are being sensible in your splurges and your outlook .. congrats!!

Lil ... sending hugs ... I know how it is when it seems like everything is conspiring against you accomplishing your goal ... glad you are still working at it .. sorry things are so hectic at the moment, but then hectic is better than non-existent!! I only have to plan for myself from start to finish of every day ... know it must be much more difficult when you've got family to feed and kids at school to watch out for and almost all of them probably eating the foods that tempt you at some time or other ... sending hugs to all of you!!!

My day is going well again ... but as I said, I only have to plan for me, and spend my day at work only around the boss and the office cat, so I don't have to face too much in the way of temptation, but every night on my drive home, the fast food places keep calling my name ... so far I've managed to choose not to answer back.
