Mermie,
Our banter helps keep me going, it provides inspiration when I want to quit.
Thank you.

Ditto, my gurl. You never cease to make me laugh and kick my ass at the same time.

P is much better now, which is really good news - men and illness do not mix well.

Good AM cardio session - will increase to 30 mins from next week. Starting to get very hungry which is a great sign. Suffering from DOMS in upper chest. Still planning on posting pics though not much progress has been visibly made to date but will do it anyway because I said I would. I can tell that it's "tightening" up underneath the fat.

Finished work rather late, had to pick up a car for a business trip tomorrow so no gym tonight though still planning on AM cardio and PM weights. Also, travelling from Sunday through Monday - presenting the budget to senior management in Sydney, nervous as all hell and need to prepare this weekend - more frickin' work. All work and no play make Mermaid a very dull mer-person. Planning on making up for that in July

Must add that I have not had a drink for 17 days - sounds pathetic to most people but a big deal for me. Get through another Friday night and I'm looking at 3 clean weeks. Yay! I am realising that my diet failures are closely linked to alcohol and the cheats that follow thereafter. This is obvious I guess but I have to experience things to understand their significance.

CONGRATS on not having ANY alcohol for SEVENTEEN days!!!

That is GREAT!! You can make it through this weekend too - BE STRONG!!

J - Thank you SOOOOOO much for the flowers. I didn't think THAT'S what you were "sending" - lol

They are absolutely beautiful

For all who don't know.....I was kind of down in the dumps last week and Mermaid said she had something to send me .....so I'm thinking - a little something cute - and I was shocked yesterday to get home and find a large boquet of flowers waiting for me!

I loved the card too! 12,000 miles away, but that doesn't matter!!!! Who would have thought by coming to a fitness website you could find such awesome people to call "friends". (((HUG)))

....here they are....

How sweet! You're a true friend, Mermaid.

I'm getting all teary eyed!

Congrats on the no drinking for 17 days. NICE!

Have a great Friday, chica!
