Thanks guys! The birthday was great ... we had a nice time away. I stuck to my diet nearly 100% (went over a tiny bit on Saturday) and even got in some planned exercise!
Matt and I agreed to get a new grill for my birthday/our anniversary. So we picked that up on Sunday. Yay!! I love it ... just had a turkey burger grilled on it, and we'll be having grilled items all week on it!!
You sound like me! I love our grill. We even grill when it's 10 degrees outside and snowing.......lol
I'm glad you had such a nice weekend.......sorry that you're back to all of that laundry.

Off to fold a bazillion loads of laundry, put away groceries, and then get out in my gardens!
Great way to celebrate, Julie. Glad you had a great weekend.
I LOOOOOOVE our new grill ... it's a Weber Spirit E-310. It's just like the one we have in New Hampshire which was a gift to us a few years ago. We looked at some of the bigger fancier ones, but this one really meets our needs. Although we grill often, it is only once a year we grill in large volume! I did some chicken on cedar planks the other night ... marinated in lemon juice, garlic, and fresh rosemary, then grilled on cedar. Mmmmmmm.
Took pictures and measurements this morning for Leigh ... feeling good about where I am ... I was 181.0 the day I called Leigh ... and this morning I was 166.6!!!! It's been 2 months. If only I'd found her before I gained all the weight during my "recovery". I was stuck at 155 forever before that. But it's okay because I KNOW this time that I will blow right through that number and onward to my goal. She is one smart chica!!
I haven't been sleeping well ... Hayley has been up the last two nights for some unknown reason. And Matt has been snoring and waking me. And I've had restless legs. And it's a few days until AF arrives. So all these things conspire to rob me of good sleep. Sigh.
I did do some foam rolling, gluteal activation, and mobility work. And I will do some yoga later today.
It's raining ... a good laundry folding, book reading, puzzle doing day!

Ya know, I was put off by her unprofessional writing for months. I figured that she's trying to sell herself -- no problem there. But if she's trying to sell herself/products and shows such inattention to details while doing so in such a public presentation of herself, that I certainly could not trust her to teach me anything.
But, after being bombarded over and over again with the success she's brought to you and many others on this board, I've simply had no choice but to give her a second look. Her writing still annoys me to no end but I'll be danged if she hasn't won over my trust (in her knowledge) finally.
I don't give second chances lightly and overcoming any trust issue with me is freaking huge. So, wow to Leigh and all of you guys sharing your Leigh journeys with the rest of us. You've done the impossible and overcome my crazy, stubborn mindset. But just this once.

Aww ... cut her some slack ... she's from the south with the heavy southern accent to match. (Don't beat me up Leigh!) Us New Englanders know that no one else in the country knows how to talk properly!! (Just kidding ... as I duck!!)
Finally got around to getting the video off the camera from Michaela's graduation thing. Don't worry, I'm not posting the whole 20 minute ceremony, although I might crop the section of them singing "Skidamarink a dink a dink"!!
But, here's Hayley entertaining herself before the show.
