      That's easy.

      I'm 5'5".

      When I started WW I was 156.8 lbs.

      When I weighed in today I was 126.2 lbs (goal weight was 127lbs).

      For my personal goal weight, I'd like to be in the 123-125 lbs range so I still have a few pounds to lose until I am 100% satisfied. I made my WW goal weight a tad higher to give me some wiggle room in case I am ever having a bad week. This way if I do gain a lb or two, I will still be considered lifetime and get to attend WW meetings for free! :)

      I don't really know how to answer this except to say that it is incredibly personal and something I am not willing to share on the Internet.

      Oh thank you! This made my day! Truly.

      Do you ever feel like you just have NOTHING to say? That's how I've been feeling lately. I need to get my inspiration back.

      Greek yogurt
      FRUIT (all kinds)
      Baby carrots
      100 cal SmartPop Popcorn
      Frozen veggies
      Scrambled egg whites (stop judging. they're delicious)
      String cheese
      Did I mention fruit ;)?

      "I don't want to sound mean, but it seems like you worry more about what other people think."

      I would say you are absolutely right about this. I DO care about what other people think. I try not to, I really do, but sometimes the nastiness just weighs on you. And then it makes the whole process not so fun anymore.

      Take my food blog for example, it was taking me alot of time to do those daily journals with pictures, so when I get some emails of the not-so-nice variety, it's easier for me to just throw my hands up. and say screw it. And I'm okay with that. I hardly post on my main blog anymore because I just don't have much to say to the Interwebs anymore.

      Because the truth is, if I were truly only writing for myself, wouldn't I write in a journal where no one else could read it? People post on the Internet because they want to be heard, to share their voice, their thoughts, to get feedback. When you post openly on the internet, a small part of you HAS to care what other people think, otherwise why do it?

    9. Mojito Maven

      Yeah I thought it was rather...not nice also. Oh well, you win some you. lose some. But I'll still continue to post recipes, etc. And maybe my food journal occasionally.

    10. Mojito Maven

      Ha! Post about my weigh-in tonight coming tomorrow. I stopped posting my daily food journal because I got 2 emails from people telling me they thought they were annoying :( So, no more food journal but I'm still counting everything!

      I am close to the Allen Outlet Mall in NTX! I do occasionally visit it, but only to shop at one of three places: Nike, Le Creuset, and J. Crew. Most of the time it's a bust, but occasionally I'll find something great at Nike or J. Crew. Rarely do I find anything good at Le Creuset.

      Ross and TJ Maxx...I've got to be honest with you. There is something about those stores that freak me the hell out. I shopped there occasionally in high school, but really i can find really great stuff for CHEAP at places like Old Navy, Gap, Lands End Canvas, etc without having to shop at Ross. HOWEVER, I have heard you can find some awesome J Crew shoes at TJ Maxx so maybe I'll check it out :)

    12. Mojito Maven

      No. But that doesn't mean I'll answer every question in detail. But you really *can* ask me anything. I just don't know how descriptive I'll be in the answer. But you can always email me. I'll probably be more open in email!

      Thanks! I don't know what's wrong with me lately but I have such a lack of inspiration. Maybe I'll just start doing stream of consciousness posts.

      Re: Puppy Potty Training...we did (and still do) crate training. They even still sleep in their crates at night. Make sure that the crate is exactly the same size as the dog. If it's too big, then they'll still potty in it. Here's a good link about crate training.

      Since our puppies are smaller, it takes longer (and more patience) to crate train but the results are worth it!

      WW is going blah right now. I'm am DEFINITELY counting to lose! I am a stress/emotional eater and my clothes hate me for it.

      Definitely wearing hobo attire right now at work. It's so cold out. All I want to do is wear sweats and read.

      My skincare routine...well i don't really have one unless you count Proactiv? I use it twice a day. I don't wear make-up because it takes me forever to put it on. I should probably have a better routine. My skin is actually really uneven and oily. I think it's from years of swimming and coaching in the sun. Hence why I never post pics of me on a normal day. I look like a freak!

      And thanks for the pretty comment! Made my day! :)

      I wish. Still at the job but we have made a plan that, if we follow it, will get me out of my job asap. But first I'd like to have over a years worth in savings before anything happens. So hopefully within 2 years?!

      Too many spam followers and it was getting tedious to have to go through every day and clean them out. This way, with private tweets, I can just reject them right off the bat when I get a follower request.
