More Diet Talk...And No I'm Not Obesessed!
I ran across this Jillian Michael's recipe on Pinterest and may just try it. You drink it for 7 days and maintain healthy meals. At first I thought this was all you ate for 7 days - no way could that be handled! But drinking this along with eating may be an experiment to take!
This made an appearance on Facebook and I could totally relate!
Gradation On My Mind
I'm so
digging the gradation nails right now. Here's an example but there are tons more. Steps to do:
1. Paint two coats of light colored polish over entire nail;
2. Take a medium to dark shade and brush it over the top third of your nail. It doesn't have to be french manicure perfect. Do this two nails at a time;
3. While your nails are still wet from No. 2 above, brush a glittery type polish over half your nail, from middle to end over the darker shade.
4. Finish the rest of your nails, add top coat and you are done!
This technique is pretty easy and the combinations are endless.

Party and Progress
Once again another annual party has come to a close!
Wednesday evening Michael and I decked ourselves out in matching outfits to attend my company party. Lots of people, acceptable dinner, and plenty of laughs. Poor Michael also had to bear and grin it when the entire sales department decided to hug him (not one of his favorite pastimes.) We also shared several chuckles over the number of prom dresses on display along with the outfits that screamed "part-time hooker!"
I even maintained a healthy diet by loading up my plate with a large salad and small amounts of the side dishes and entree. They had my all time favorite - macaroni and cheese - but I limited myself to only a tablespoon. My efforts paid off as at the weekly weigh-in yesterday I was down another 2 pounds. Yippee - I'm hoping to break the 10 pound loss mark next week. As all the experts state, it's best to lose 1-2 pounds per week but boy there are weeks I wish I could lose 5 or 6 pounds.
Thanks to Michael for being my party date as well as my cheerleader through my weight loss efforts. Friday teammate Christine and I hustled up eight flights of stairs, walked all hallways, then hustled once more up all eight floor stairs before making our way back downstairs and outside where we finished off by walking half the building. We were motivated!! Michael says we are his role models so that puts another spring in my step!!

Poor, Poor Blog
My poor blog has been so neglected!!! It seems the days have been packed with activities but no inspiration! My healthy way of eating has been going great. I've been staying away from sugar and haven't had milk in almost three weeks, with the exception of creamer. Brother Todd previously gave me advice that "you must get off milk!", stating that the weight will roll right off if I took this course of action. So far, so good but my daily exercising may have something to do with it as well.
Tomorrow night is my company's annual party, which should be interesting to say the least. I'll be decked out in a pink and black dress with black sweater; Michael, my date of course, will be in his black suit with pink shirt and black/pink tie. Can't wait to see us together!!
Here's to more inspiration coming my way so my writing can get back on track!

TGIF
So very glad Friday is here! I have been swamped this week finishing up a DVD for work so it's been work at work and work at home. Ugh. On top of that, today was simply one of those days when you are torn between strangling someone or simply tossing in your resignation letter! Thankfully I did neither. I did, however, lose 2 lbs this last week when we had our Biggest Loser weigh in!! Yippee! I'm currently number 4 out of 12 participants so that made my day. Together with my two daily workout partners Bobby and Christine, we've lost a total of 20 pounds so far!! Way to go teammates!!
Enjoy your weekend!!!
