Mini Tour on Loser Monday

Happy St. Patty's Day to you all! In honor of the "wearin' of the green" and all things Irish I thought I'd give you a little taste of Ireland with a few of the photos we took on our trip there a few years back.

Kissing the Blarney Stone!

So there you go - a mini tour of Ireland. We've only got about 1600 Ireland photos lurking in the files here on the computer. Hope you've enjoyed these!

And the real reason I'm posting old photos is to hide the fact that this is Loser Monday and I'm supposed to be posting about that. As usual, no loss to report this week. I'm still faithfully visiting the gym four times a week for cardio and pilates but I admit I'm not doing very good at keeping track of my food. I'm not sure how long Sharon will let me stay on the Loser List, so if she kicks me out, that's okay and I'll forgive her!

I found this Irish proverb that might just apply to me.

Is fheàrr teicheadh math na droch fhuireach.

Better a good retreat than a bad stand

Better Off or Not

Here it is Loser Monday again. Sharon will be kicking my you know what to the curb this time as I have still to find that wagon to get back on! I alternate between admitting defeat and bailing out or giving myself another week to see if I can finally pull my willpower together. In one aspect, I know I'm better off sticking with this, even if I've not lost any weight. But it's also somewhat embarrassing to report no change week after week. So okay - I'll give it another week, again. I continue to enjoy my trips to the gym and as long as I can keep that up I really don't think I should admit defeat.

Daughter E is on her way home this evening. It was great to have her come and spend a few days. This afternoon she and I along with B went to see Slumdog Millionaire. If you haven't seen this movie yet, it is wonderful. Definitely deserving of the Oscars won. One of the best parts of the movie is the ending credits and the dance scene. I found this video to share. Have a great week!
