Well hopefully that means we may be getting something that was "made in England". Not to get your hopes up.. Yeah, I used to be glad it was so short when I was trying to get preggers..still doesn't bother me cuz its all gone after 3 short days, with no cramps or other ill effects (aside from one short day of bloating).

Margaret, Rah, Claudia--If I am preggers, it was definitely made in Scotland..lol. Still no sign of 
The condo inspections went okay--not terrific, not terrible. However, a problem has come up with our loan.
The high condo fees are pushing the total monthly mortgage payment too high for us to qualify as things stand. Our lender is the best, and she is working hard to get us the best deal. I think worst case scenario, we pay off our auto loan and will be okay. If only we made more $$...
I am annoyed with H b/c he constantly questions things I say about topics I clearly know a lot about. For example today the inspector and I both said something needed to be done, and H questioned us both--not taking two professionals (one his own wife, the other who only had our interests in mind) at their word. Now he thinks I don't know jack shit about how many calories he should be eating. He was going to eat 1,000 calories and think that was enough. As it is, he's had less than 1400 today and is now out running. Another idiot who thinks a starvation diet is the way to go.
But what the hell do I know.

7/14—47 min walk, 3 miles, weight: 219.5, calories: 1,780
7/15—25 min walk, 1.7 miles, weight: 220.5, calories: 1,641
7/16—30 min circuit training, weight: 218.5, calories: 1,725
Weight finally fell below 219.5!
That made me very happy. Now I'm only 1lb higher than I was the day we left for vacation.

Thanks..lol. After his run, he came home and downed quite a few pretzels, pushing his calories up to over 1500. Still, that isn't much for a man who weighs 183lbs.
Weight is down to 218 today. Now I'm only 1.5lbs up from my lowest (ticker) weight.
Still no sign of
Looks like the lender worked it all out. We will pay off our auto loan and all will be fine. Now I just have to get the sellers to pay more of our closing costs.

BOooooo me...I'm HAPPY for you and YOUR condo....and YOU WILL get everything on the loan squared OUT I HOPE.....
...CONGRATS on your weight LOSS....loook at YOU!!! GO GIRL!!!
...and YOU do KNOW about CALORIE intake.......it's funny cause my bf was doing the same thing, at first, eating nothing, no calories, working out like crazy, and THEN.,...here I come ONE MONTH later, jumped on the boat, and in no time, I was down like 15lbs and him NOTHING....FINALLY.....he jumped on my boat, and decided he needed to EAT and EAT a lot for what he was working out....
...now he is losing weight....go figure.....
How are you Tammy!? We miss you girl. You will get every single pound off so dont even worry about it. You are one of the most disciplined people on this site. And ya know the first 30 lbs will disappear like that after you have the baby.
Where are ya Star?

Even with the best of husbands - it sometimes feels like their main role in life is to irritate us as no-one else in the world can. I am sure that Dave will learn the error of his ways before too long. There are times when we like our expertise to be acknowledged and our advice taken at face value.
I have to say that his calories do sound a bit low to me (and we all know that I hate to count the damned things). I am sure that you will have shown him the ways that it fell below the nutritional goals that would be healthy for him to meet. Maybe seeing a heap of red writing on his fitday report would encourage him to eat differently which is but a short step from the acceptance that he should follow your guidance.
It sounds a great idea to pay off the car loan and keep the finances nice and straightforward. House sales may improve over the summer months which could give your income a nice boost.
I am pleased to hear that your weight is coming down.
Fingers crossed regarding other matters.

Gosh I go MIA for a month and you are already getting a place to live and maybe a little gift from Scotland?!
GuessI should check in more often.
Thanks for stopping by the diary and dropping me some encouraging words.
I really needed to hear them.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you while you wait.

Ok my wonderful friends....D doesn't want to tell anyone yet, but since you all are already in the loop about my late period, you might as well know that I'm pregnant!! Took the test this morning and both strips turned blue immediately. So my due date is March 21st.
Now I'm really wishing I'd been more disciplined with losing weight these last few months. Oh well. But I am going to do my best not to overeat and put on a lot of weight. My research tells me that someone of my weight doesn't need to gain the 25-35lbs recommended for normal weight women. More like 15lbs.

Sam--Thanks! With today's news, it's a good thing we're getting this condo..lol
Angel--Thanks dear. Doesn't look like is going to come for quite awhile now..lol.
Claudia--I'm joining Tammy in the preggo dept..lol. H finally knocked me up.
Alta--I think H will soon realize he needs to eat more. Last night I went to a site that calculates your BMR--his is just under 1900 cals. So I told him that's how many he burns just sitting on his ass. So running for a half an hour and just going about his daily activities burns even more. So he should be eating about 1800 a day, not 1500..lol. I explained that our bodies will adjust to the low cals and will slow down his metabolism. Not what he wants, I'm sure. Yesterday he ate just over 1500 again.
Margaret--H isn't keeping track on fitday, so there will be no red for him to see. He writes in down in a little notebook he bought that is ironically called a Fat Book (says it right on the cover).
Tammy--I won't be getting under 200lbs for awhile now..lol. I'm joining your ranks.
Dawn--Yup, a little gift from Scotland it is. Quite the souvenir, eh?
Anytime you need someone to whip your butt into gear, just let me know. And please feel free to return the favor.
