I saw Dockers capris on eBay in a size 2, so I'm hoping they make regular pants that size, too. I'll be checking at Costco next time; I didn't even think to look at anything smaller.

Oh, and more good news. My shoulder is a little achy but not killing me, despite spending two hours raking leaves (and struggling with the Leaf Hog) yesterday. And I haven't taken Celebrex since Thursday. Yay. I skipped my PT exercises yesterday, though, because I figured it got enough of a workout in the yard. (The bad news is there are still a whole lot of leaves left to clean up out there. I filled 12 bags yesterday and only did the worst little section of my yard. It's too darn big!!)

But it was funny. Every time I'd rake a big pile and turn my back, Mojo would jump into the pile and start playing around. Silly girl.

That is wonderful news about your shoulder. And it sounds like you and Mojo had fun in the leaves. The village I live in just has you rake your leaves to the curb and they bring around this big machine that sucks them up...no need to bag them anymore. Talk about a major relief.

My brother's neighborhood is like that. But I think I'd still be raking if I had to get them all the way to the curb (that, and you wouldn't be able to drive down our street with the wall of leaves there). Half an acre holds a LOT of leaves. LOL.

Yay. I'm finally back down to 126.6. Close enough. Only got half an hour of exercise in this morning, though, because I was dragging so much. We had a lot of thunder during the night, so I got almost no sleep (it's hard to sleep when a dog is lying underNEATH you; poor Teemu).

And I finally solved my pet-sitter issue, after having a stroke of genius yesterday. I called the sitter I love (who can't stay that weekend because her brother's getting married) and asked if her fiance would be interested in doing it instead, since he stayed with her the last time and he LOVES the dogs - especially Teemu. Long story short, he's thrilled to do it, I'm thrilled to have him, and now I can enjoy the holiday without worrying about the kids.

Excellent brainstorm for your babies - it is so important to have a caregiver you trust, whether canine babies or human babies are involved. I'm not a dog person but I love my cats like kids so I get it. :D

Hooray for being back to ticker weight! Onward and downward and I hope there are no thunderstorms for a few days so you can get some rest. ;)

Congrats on the weight and solving your doggie problem. I can't believe Thanksgiving is so close...and Christmas too.

Yeah, Christmas isn't really an issue for me, other than the boredom of having a four-day weekend this year. Ugh.

Of course, now that I've FINALLY dropped back down, I'm hoping to hit 125 by Thanksgiving. Which would be simple for anyone else, but 1.6 pounds in two weeks is darn near impossible for me. You never know, though.

We're supposed to get more thunder this afternoon, but I'm hoping it'll all be over by tonight and all of us can get a decent night's sleep. Although I'm going to have to at least walk the full hour tomorrow, no matter what. With hills. :)

No more thunder, so I got a good night's sleep. A little too good, though. I forgot to turn my alarm back on after switching it off yesterday, so I slept an extra hour and had no time to work out. I was thinking about doing something in my office later, but I'm not sure.

In the meantime, I was doing a little calculating. And based on my results when I had my body fat tested last month, I need to raise my goal to around 120 instead of 115. Yay for that. I'll probably shoot for about 118 and just try to maintain below 120. That ought to get me to about 20 percent to 21 percent body fat, which would be excellent. So only 6.5 pounds to go (umm, which in my world is probably another six months or so; sigh).

Well they say those who lose slowly are more apt to keep the weight off - so you've got that going for you, right? Silver lining and all that?

Hurry up and watch Biggest Loser, lady - I shall say no more. ;)

Ha. Yeah, sorry, I have a non-cyber friend who also is upset that I haven't watched yet. I would have, if my stupid alarm had been set. :x

Oh, but I just accidentally saw who got booted. Now I'm REALLY excited to watch. LOL

I think next week is going to be even better. Can't wait to see everyone finally get wise to you-know-who. She is signing her own eviction notice there from what I saw.

Oh it was really good and I can't wait to see next week. This is the time in the contest that I really start to watch because things really start to heat up.

Hurry up Robin.

Ha. I will, I will. But I'm not allowed to watch it unless I'm on the treadmill. It helps me to run longer if I'm watching Bob and Jillian yell at the contestants to work harder.
