Sorry that things aren’t going as quickly as you want on the home selling front. Ours was on the market for 7 months but we just finally sold it and will be closing next week. I’m not superstitious (or Catholic) but someone told us to get a statue of St. Joseph and bury it in our yard. It sounds completely crazy but I was desperate and tried it. I buried it in my flower box about 5 minutes before a showing and got an offer that same night. It was the best $10 that I ever spent!

I love your running updates. I’m having shoe issues, because I live and hour and a half away from the nearest Wal-Mart, let alone a running store. Mine are okay, but I can tell they just aren’t the right ones, because I can’t run as far or as long without aches that didn’t used to be there. *sigh* It’s frustrating.

Roni,

I ordered my first batch of VitaTops… I call them VitaBrownies and they were SO good! Even the husband was impressed! Last night, as I was eating one, I was like “there’s no way these are only OnE point!” I literally got up to recheck my points calculator because they are such a fabulous snack! Thanks.

Ps. I also purchased almond milk from my grocery store but haven’t gotten the guts to try it! ;) I’ll let you know!

ROFL, Roni, the comic strip is EXACTLY what I told my parents when they called last weekend :D My mom complained I’ve been calling home less (it’s a very busy time in college for me now) and I told her, “You can read my blog posts. Please coment.” :)

laurieann – I just keep telling myself… “all it takes is one buyer… all it takes is one buyer.” The problem with the showings is every time I have one I get my hopes up only to find out what the hated about the house. It’s depressing. :( Good luck and keep me posted!

LOL your title made me do a double take (did I just see what I thought I saw lol).

Still, even with no “thoughts” and being sick, you had an eventful, empowered week. Hope you’re feeling better now… you must be, with that run!

ok…I recomitted to staying on track and keeping my journal last Friday
and…..
I did IT!
I’ve been on my points or a few less EVERY day……
I can not tell you the last time that happened!
I lost 5 lbs this week……
so now comes the hard part…the remaining 8 that I gained…(the first week is always a GREAT loss isn’t it??)and of course – getting back to the exercise routine. Baby steps. I forget that when you ‘surrender’ to the program and do what they say, you get empowered….:-) Who knew that surrendering and empowering could be used for the same thing.
Looking forward to another great week!!!

At least you have had showings! Not a one in two weeks. Won’t anyone ever want to buy our house? We had hoped to be moved by beginning summer, now I’ll be happy if it happens THIS year. Ugh!
