Don't worry...B. Whitty

I made it to the big time!

Clicking through to the New Guns N Roses website...just to see if my review was posted. (I was checking out the site on Monday before the concert and saw that they were looking for reviews.) Well, it was there!! If you'd like to check out the site it's www.newgnr.com. Not sure who's actually running the show but the site is pretty cool and user friendly. I'm sure GNR doesn't review it but the thought they potentially could and read my review is super exciting to me. :) Ah well, dare to dream, eh?

So, weigh in tonight. I don't expect dramatic results. I truly didn't work hard enough this week. I had no-sugar chocolate, "veggie" chips, regular chips, a small piece of cake and a few not-so-bad extras during the week. This combo isn't what I need to get me where I want to go. Traditionally when I've screwed up like this, I get down on myself hard core. I feel like a failure and that I'll never get where I need to be. This time, I'm recognizing those thoughts are not helping me and trying hard to disregard them. Yeah, I slipped up but if I keep beating myself up over it, it's not going to help me. I need it to motivate me to do better. I am about 80% there in my head. We're so good at being self critical, that's hard to turn off. Especially when others pass their negative impressions on you...which I realize is only a reflection of their own feelings about themselves. Still, it makes for a bad combination.

I'm looking forward to Survivor tonight. Tune in, should be exciting. I have to revisit last week's promo before I vote in our pool. I'm still sucking eggs at the very back of the pack. Put it this way, the only people behind me haven't voted for a few weeks. :) Well, that and 1 other. Still, it's fun to guess and I'm certainly not in it for the money. Speaking of $$, not sure if I mentioned that DH got called back to work yesterday. Only 2 days laid off. We're thrilled. He's still a little gun-shy about the whole event...not sure how long they'll keep him. On a positive note, he's working with his future boss and is getting along with him really well. Hopefully that will give him a little pull.

Well, y'all, have a great day. Till ta-mar-ah!

Saw the review on the site - congrats! :) That's pretty cool.

Looking forward to Survivor though I missed last week and couldn't even stay up to watch it last night. Pathetic! I'll have to check out what happened online.

Excellent news bout Jeff getting back to work. That's awesome! All the more reason to not have worried ;)
