A shift in the waist line

Well, today is weigh in day over at Our Wicked Ways. I only started reading that blog last week. If you are trying to lose weight, I suggest you head on over. They are a great group of people over there. On Fridays, everyone weighs in and posts their losses or gains. Its a great boost to have others right there along side of you in the struggle. You get to see how everyone else is doing.

Well, my normal weigh in day is usually Sundays, but I decided to weigh myself anyway. I had been cheating quite a bit this week due to stress at work. We have been working late every night this past week. Can you imagine, I didn't get home from work until 9:30 pm on Halloween. It was a real bummer.

Anyway, according to the scale, I didn't gain and I didn't lose. I stayed the same. I was sort of relieved that I didn't gain, but at the same time I was bummed out that I didn't lose.

Today at work we are allowed to wear jeans as long as we wear it with our official center scrub top. My jeans that I normally wear are getting too baggy on me. I have to keep pulling them up. Plus they are dirty. So I decided to go on an archaeological expedition. I went into the deep recesses of the jungle that is called my closet in search of some prey. There was no way that I was going to wear a full scrub set today. Fridays are my day to be in relaxing clothing. Anyway, after much searching, I found a pair of jeans that hadn't fit me in centuries. You know those jeans. Everyone has a pair. The ones that no longer can be pulled up past your hips. Yea those. Well, I stumbled upon those and decided to just see how badly I couldn't fit into them.

I was in for a shock. Its a wonder they didn't have to call 911 to send an ambulance over. I fit back into them. I never thought it would happen. But it did! So right now, I am doing the happy dance! Woohoo!

Hey, how many calories do you burn doing the happy dance? Can I count it as my exercise for the day?

One of my friends had come over to the house to take her son trick or treating. He just turned 3. I missed them. He got too tired and she had to take him home before I got out of work. I told her that she has to bring him by again in his costume so I can see it.

Congrats! I know that feeling. It's a great feeling. Isn't the Internet a wonderful way to stick together and support each other? We've all got something to deal with, might as well not have to go through it alone.

I've posted the next Weekend Writing Workout. Hopefully we'll get some more regulars. I know someone who does the exercises, he just doesn't have a blog to post them on.

Review–Mana Potion

Image
Product Description   Mana Energy Potion Each tiny shot is loaded with 160mg of caffeine and tons of other energy boosters. As much caffeine as two cans of Red Bull® Provides 5-8 hours of smooth energy. No sugar, so no aftercrash. Each six pack contains 6 (duh) 1.69oz bottles   Product Review   The bottles are really cute and I love the labels.  I was a little disappointed though that the Mana Energy Drink logo was printed on the plastic wrapper instead of the bottle.  However, I love the shapes of the bottles. So here I was in the middle of a raid that seemed to be lasting longer then it should have.  We had already wiped a few times and decided to try again.  I was running out of energy though.  So instead of yelling OOM in the raid chat, I decided to take a Mana Potion.  There is no sugar whatsoever in this drink.  It contains tons of vitamins to help get you going.  And of course the all so wonderful caffeine.  I was expecting something bitte

Arnicare–Review & Giveaway

Image
  Product Review   Because of various health issues, I am always on the lookout for over the counter pain relief.  I HATE take pills.  So I tend to look for something topical.  I don’t want to be like my mom and smell horribly of some of the other formulas that are on the market. So that limits me greatly on what I can use.  I was just recently sent a 2.6 ounce tube of Arnicare.  It is all natural pain relief that comes in a gel.  They also have creams and pills as well. First off, I liked that it has a very pleasant mild scent.  So its definitely something that I am not embarrassed putting on and going out somewhere. Plus, it helped stop the pain rather quickly.  I was completely blown away with how fast my legs stopped hurting.  It’s a very rare day that I go without pain.  It was so nice to be able to find something that actually takes the pain away.  And not only did it take the pain away, it also relieved some of the swelling that I get in my legs.  I also loved th
