afternoon, Fri. 13th.

Yay!!! It quit snowing, and the sun is shining!!! The forecast for the next few days has improved as well. I'm seriously happy about this turn of events!

I've had nothing but my green tea sticks (add to water), and they have come through for me in the girl's room, if you know what I mean. I haven't gotten on the scale, however. It's pointless, because I've had a gallon of liquids today. All the more to flush out the fat, I say!!!

I was wrong about my gym duty...I'm working 5-8 !!! 3 hours of working out tonight! That will definitely help!

My HRM said I'd burned off last night's birthday food before I crawled out of bed this a.m. I suppose that's the story every day on fast-5. I've been experimenting with the heated mattress pad. If I turn up the heat, will I burn more calories while I sleep? It is difficult to get in a good night's rest when you're too hot~ lol ! I'd rather be skinny than sleep, though, so it's worth it.

Thanks to all my readers. You are such an encouragement. I love reading your blogs too, everyday. I'm trying to get to every blog you've ever written on here...but it takes time. You all seem to be great ppl. Luv ya! ☺♥ Hopefully I can add more of you, as time permits.

Off to the gym. Hope your Friday 13th is going as wonderfully as mine has been.
