Summer Challenge and a HALLELUIAH!!

Halleluiah!  Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir

What’s the halleluiah for?  Blogger is working again!!  I’ve been blog-less for twelve days – TWELVE DAYS!  I swear, my head was about to explode! I’ve been online on the Blogger forums – apparently that little snafu a few weeks ago was a humongous mess up for bloggers around the world. Blogger kept saying “It’s all fixed now” and “We’re up and running”, but there were many hundreds of thousands of bloggers left out in the rain.  Including me.
No posting, no editing, no manipulating my background images.  Worse still?  No feeds to my favorite blogs!!  I’m so out of touch now.  If something really, Really Important happened that I should know about, somebody please tell me, okay?
So. Enough whining!  Weight loss?  Trudging right along, thank you very much.  I’m fighting for every ounce, but guess what?  I’ve learned the WHY behind why the last few pounds are so ridiculously difficult to shed.  Stay tuned for a PSA…
I’m up to a little challenge this summer.  Debbi over at Debbi Does Dieting is hosting a Slimmer this Summer challenge.  Some other bloggy support groupies are joining up, so I did, too.  (Ooh! Ooh!  I’m one of the cool kids!)   Take a look.  Sign up. Keep going.
I’m glad to be back.

Weigh-In Day and a NSV

Angela Pea4 Comments
Weigh-In Day and I was up a pound, but I’m not upset about it [this week] because Mr. Pea and I attended a scrumptious Auction Dinner, then it was Mr. Pea’s birthday, and over the week I indulged in chocolate Easter eggs, beer, chocolate cake and full on fat chicken cheese enchiladas.  Not together, of course, because everyone knows that beer goes with peanut butter cookies, not chocolate cake. Was it worth it?  YES!!! EVERY BITE!!!

I’m ramping it up this week with exercise and that pound will be history by Tuesday afternoon.

I’m also not upset because of this.  Remember this picture from last fall?  I was just all darned excited that day about rewarding myself with green shoes and I was elated that this brown skirt was too loose. 
I took that skirt in two inches in February.  TWO INCHES.  I pulled it out of my closet last night and ironed it to wear today.  I put it on this morning, pulled the zip and busted out laughing.  It was so loose that it sagged down below the top of my panties. Seriously. However, I was running late and too slacking to iron anything else so I bunched it up with a safety pin at the zip, pulled my top down over it and went on my way. 

I am walking around today with my skirt pinned shut so that it doesn’t fall off.  

How Cool is THAT??
