LMAO, okay, okay Karen, I'll get Gail to take some this weekend, I PROMISE! The ones my dad took before are 'outdated' now anyway, and he never did figure out how to email them to me. *sigh*

Tammy, I too, like Sarah and apparently you, and I think Kelly, fluctuate HUGELY all day and night, 5lbs up down up down. This is the reason why people like us CANNOT weigh-in all the time. It can be a major downer. I weigh in every Sunday when I go grocery shopping, in the early afternoon, after a minimal breakfast and before lunch, and normally have 'gone' by then, I also take off my shoes and don't wear heavy clothes. I even make sure my hair is mostly dry from my shower. BUT, it doesn't matter what your little rituals are, so long as they are consistant and you are weighing in under the same circumstances every week. STOOOOOOOOOOPPP! You're doing fine. SOMETIMES, I hop on my little cheapie scale at home, but I never pay too much attention to the results, b/c frankly it's unreliable, and I know that I fluctuate a LOT. It's sort of a toy to me.

Oh, yeah, Amber, I love that you are spending that little time with just Caleb to walk. That's probably really nice for him to have you to himself. Just be sure not to over-do it, okay? Some people heal fast like my mother, so I'm not going to fuss, b/c you know your body. But don't be a hero. People who heal fast and have a higher pain tolerance (hello, my entire family is like this) often forget to recognize the low-level signs of 'slow down buddy' that the body sends out. We always say we are too stupid to be sick or hurt in my family. Meaning, we all hurt ourselves and don't notice, or keep going until we REALLY hurt ourselves, or have to be green with 103 fever to accepts that we are ill. Family joke. I actually tore my own hamstring once while sitting on the floor with my legs out in a 'V', and was simply watching CMT and stretching over to my foot, and felt my hamstring go *pop--popopop*. Oops. Guess I didn't realize I was stretching too hard. Always took it for granted cause I'm such a naturally limber person (I can still do the splits without stretching, etc.).

Babble babble.
