Just busier than the proverbial one-legged man in a butt kicking contest. ;) And my mom just dropped a bomb last night -- she's retiring from her job effective 1 January. Jeez, the drama! :)<br/><br/>Thank you, Barbara! I agree about only buying things you can actually wear, but this dress was just so special I had to do it. I think I'll get into it, though. I've actually used my cross trainer twice this week. And I did push-ups and sit-ups. Congratulations on your weight loss! Looking forward to seeing the new pictures on your blog. :) I’m still here, Tanya!

Just yesterday, I tried on some shorts I used to wear in Hawaii -- they were always a little too big but I loved them for around the house. <br/><br/>I could barely button them and they were definitely NOT comfortable. I was not happy. <br/><br/>Terry, I hear you, and sometimes I do break down and buy something so I don't feel so bad about the weight I've gained.<br/><br/>But, like PC, I also typically refuse to buy clothes in a bigger size. Sometimes I break down and get a thing or two, but mostly I don't because I don't want to encourage myself to stay in that size.

To lose weight, I buy something that fits right now, whatever size that is. If I'm feeling lousy about myself with nothing to wear, I can't stay positive enough to make changes.

It looked really good on you.<br/><br/>Well, I can't do that anymore. Because I am on prednisone, I can't keep the weight off... not possible. So I go to the Lane Bryant stores now. :-) I remember that diet/fitness kick you did in Germany. It looked really good on you.

Well, I think I have a fighting chance of doing this. I used to do a bodybuilder routine (diet and workout) that was kick *ss on fat. I would love to be that lean, mean gal again. But I don't have to be to get into this dress. Ten pounds would probably do it. :)<br/><br/>Yesterday, as a start, I swore off alcohol. At least until my cruise. *sigh* I hate depriving myself of a glass of wine. :( LOL, Tanya! Well, I think I have a fighting chance of doing this.

Believe me, I know myself pretty well by now. It would be akin to tossing money in a raging fire for me. ;-) Yeah, when I was younger, but I’ve since wised up.
