I'm never sure if dresses are cooler or not because my thighs get sweaty and stick together. Coolest for me would probably be looser fitting capris, though short dresses are better than long. Are you not allowed to have a water bottle in your room? Our superintendent came up with the idea of no liquid in the room one year. I told my principal to fire me now because I can't talk all day without water or tea. We amended it to no soda in the classroom for our building, but water was okay (actually coffee and tea, too). During warm spells, the students were allowed water bottles, too. Only one of the five elementary buildings here has AC, but it's not as necessary here as there. MS, yes, JH and SH, no. I subbed in all the buildings after I retired. I wore long pants to church today because I needed to wear an ankle brace and was very warm and it isn't warm her today. I feel for you.

Is weigh in today or tomorrow? I am a little lighter, but my waist hasn't diminished. The joys of a mature body.

I did weigh in today...but I just read that it's tomorrow, so I will hope that I'm down even more than today...haha! Hubby and I went on a cycle ride today to Wisconsin and hit up a creamery and I "had" to have a small ice cream. YIKES! Well I will be honest and hope my numbers hold.

Sounds like you ladies are hitting your stride!

meanmom, have they done any kind of testing for food allergies for that little girl? They have done terrible things to our wheat and causes problems for so many. Did you get my skinnies?

Made a quick trip to Austin to load up my kid and told him I won't be back for two months. He has to shop for himself!
All it takes is a little planning.

Good luck to everyone on their final weigh in this month!

Teri, you were in my state today and I will be in yours tomorrow. Visiting my niece in Brooklyn Park. I might see if I can sneak away and check out SR Harris.
Good luck, everyone, on your weigh in!

Good news for someone! I gained (boo hoo) so I won't be the winner. May I be the first to congratulate the winner and ask his/her secret????

You'll be fine because you biked it all off. That sounds like a fun trip including the ice cream.

No fun. I hope next month will be better for you. Hang in there. I just had surgery and for the 2 days following I gained close to 7 lbs in one day. I looked like the good year blimp with pokey legs and arms as my belly was so distended. Fortunately today I am back to preop weight and I hope it stays this way or goes back to loosing.

Pam...SR Harris is a great place! There is a much cleaner one and organized down in the south side of the cities. I went there once!

Anna Quilts....we weren't on bikes, sat on a motorcycle, so not exercising, but still fun!!!!

Today was my weigh in and back to a full day of work....I did both and during my lunch (longer than normal, because of it was a training day) I walked in the heat. I will somehow have to find time in my mornings to walk...it was a bit too hot and sticky. I can't do that once school starts, I was a sweaty mess and the kids like to give hugs. haha

LOL Ooops I think I knew but I am still a bit out of it, pain meds. It actually sounds like even more fun.

I carry a water bottle around with me all day at school. I just have a hard time refilling it. The kids are allowed to bring water bottles when it gets this hot. We encourage them to drink often. Several students came in long sleeves and long pants today. Not sure where the parents are. They sometimes come in shorts or skirts when it is really cold.
No exercise for me today, too tired. I came home, had a big glass of ice water and took a 15 minute nap. I felt much better afterwards.
My little kindergadener wasn't too bad today. Her mom(aunt) always makes excuses when she misbehaves. We praised her a lot for her behavior. Mom must have given her the proper meds this morning, I was told mom adjusts them herself. She was still a handful but a lot better. I am sure they would never test her for food allergies mom thinks she is perfect. She was born very early and died 2x and was revived in the hospital. Half of her problem is she is spoiled rotten and runs the house. Her mom and dad are both very schitzophrenic. Hopefully I can get her under control.
