WOW! You are my NEW inspiration! I am so proud of you and love your winning attitude! Well done! Thanks for the buddy request! Hugs! 

I love Fridays! my hubby works M-Th, so Fridays are his first day off of 3...no plans for tonight, but really looking forward to tomorrow - our town has what is called "Girls Night Out" from 3-8pm - you start at one of 2 businesses, pay $5, and get a goodie bag and a 'passport'...then you walk downtown and stop at all the businesses on the passport, check out their sales (one place last time had free champagne! yum) and just have a good time! we walk down one side of the street and back up the other - at the last stop, you turn in your passport and have a chance at getting drawn for prizes. This is done twice a year, and I really enjoy it! After that, hubby and I are going to listen to a live band at one of the local watering holes. Of course, if any of these businesses are offering free chocolate, I will diligently turn them down - lmao! I'm getting better at the lower carb way of life, but told hubby this morning that I wanted about 8 pieces of toast, lol...but it is getting easier. I'm slowly adding in things, like occasional fruit, so the weight loss is slowing but it's still happening - so we perservere! 

Kmkjmomma (what is your name!) that sounds like such a fun event! I love doing stuff like that, and what a great way for businesses to promote themselves. How big is your town? They do things fun in the Northwest, I went to Portland Saturday Market last month and it was great! A comment on eating fruit...even a small amount of it can bring back my carb cravings, I have to be very careful about the fruit I eat. Strawberries and apples seem to have the lowest effect on me, oranges aren't too bad, but give me some grapes or bananas, and cravings raise their ugly heads! Mom2Boxers, I am very excited that you accepted my buddy request! Your have a great journal, and I'm going to go through it and read past posts that you have written. 

What I would give for a "proper" guest room. Ours is a combo room. You can have so much fun with that. I am with you. New WOE since June and I am comfortable with the changes now. I am adding more changes every day - like now trying to figure out more protein options. Have a great weekend. 

Oh geez DJ... you are so nice. I have my moments and then sometimes I am not so inspired. Thank you. It's nice to be friends. :) 

I think you are so right about the number of days required to change a habit. A period much longer than 30 days seems necessary. Keep up the great work! Have fun with your projects!
