Bearbelly to bare belly - a journey

[bearbelly]

Sticking with it but challenged on the exercise component today - was really tired last night and decided to take a day or rest today. Thought I would miss Friday to Sunday because of my trip, but will walk Friday morning before I leave, so won't get too far behind this week. Really enjoy it, but just felt worn out last night. Had a headache most of the afternoon and seemed hungry - ate more almonds along with cheese at the afternoon snack - and still feeling hungry when I got home. Am going to add some veggies to the snacks if this persists. Skipped the red wine with dinner last night - didn't need it with the headache.

Doing better today, but again with a minor headache - may just be eyestrain from too much computer time these days.

Despite the headaches, sure have been feeling better - stronger, feel thinner - even if it doesn't show much, I think my face is showing some of the weight loss. I am so encouraged by this plan - seems to be working so well. I got my 'reward' in advance of my 25 lb loss - was a combination present - for valentines day - early birthday - promise to loose the 25 by my birthday - mid March. A ring I just love - so wearing it every day is a reminder to me that I will soon be thinner and have to have it resized!!


Wednesday - no treadmill - needed a break
B- 2 egg omelet with pepper, tomato and cdn bacon, V8
S - 5 almonds
L - an hour early today - so saved the veggies for snack - had roast turkey, 2 yam wedges, cottage cheese with sunflower seeds, V8
S - peppers, celery, snow peas and string cheese
D - tonight we are adding ww tortillas to make chicken wraps - stir fry with mixed peppers, onions and I am having sauted zucchini on the side. Will have a ricotta desert - kind of like that with cinnamon and a glass of milk.

til tomorrow,

Changed the name of my journal today - starting to think more about getting my goals clearly in my mind and writing them down - to have a better chance of making them happen.

My nickname - bearbelly is a result of an earlier one - 'bread-bear' - an endearment I earned for my love for bread. The bread addiction (with butter and jam of course, and preferably toasted) was a really big contributor to the belly - not a beer belly but a bear's belly - big and round! I am determined to reduce it to where I am not ashamed to show a bare belly - if only to my DH!

Have been reading about yoga and pilates as core strenghening exercises and am going to look for a class so that I can start building the belly muscles under the fat - to look better when the fat is gone! So that is one more goal to work for.

[bearbelly]

Hanging in here - have been reading the exercise forum - hoping for some good ideas to extend what I am doing now. DH has plenty of free weights and I have to be able to work it into the schedule somehow so hope to be able to add something this month. Still looking for a pilates class in the next month too.

Feeling great today - glad for the rest from exercise yesterday and was ready to go hard this morning. Just reading a bit on intervals of high intensity and recovery periods - how it will increase metabolic rate through the whole day. I have been doing some of that without knowing why - will try and include it in all workouts now.

today - Thursday - treadmill 30 minutes, with 15 at 3.5 mph - will switch to the intervals for tomorrow.
B - omelet with red pepper, Cdn bacon - miss the spinach - it helps me feel full til lunch. V8 and milk - realize I haven't been recording my milk and I typically have a glass at breakfast and before bed
S - 5 almonds
L - beef in ww wrap with lettuce, pepper, and celery sticks on side. Last of the ricotta desert and V8
S - cheese strings (2)
D - plan is for chili tonight with avocado salsa (more like a salad) on the side

Going away for the weekend tomorrow so won't make it back til Monday - will have to track meals and input then. Will be a bit of a challenge - going home and there is always tons of great, but bad food.

til next week,

BB

[bearbelly]

Well, I need to record the weekend - but it was tough - lots of cheats though I did work with portion control. Hate to record things but important to recognize what I did eat. It is so hard when I don't want to disappoint people by not having what they have prepared - but the bottom line is - family comes before everything - even my health at this point. I will make up for the bad food eaten in one weekend - after all I have years of eating badly - a few days aren't much more. At this point I need to let my family feel I am grateful for them and their efforts.

Friday - Treadmill 30 minutes - good walk
B - 2 eggs with red pepper and cdn bacon, V8, milk
S - 10 almonds
L - roast beef wrap in ww tortilla with V8 and half apple
S - oatmeal muffin - not the healthy kind, but small with canola margarine
D - roast beef, small potato with gravy, broccoli in cheese sauce (they bought it as a special treat), apple and celery salad, angel food cake with strawberries

Saturday - no exercise
B - red river cereal, whole milk, egg, ww toast with jam, coffee
S - skipped
L - skipped - shopping trip and I forgot to even take snacks with me in the car - avoided fast food anyway
S - ham slices, coffee, oatmeal muffin with margarine
D - pork sausage, 3 perogies with sour cream, mashed turnips - suspect quite a bit of margarine in these - but they were yummy!, angel food cake
Party - small amount (half cup) of corn chips, 2 butter tarts, small (deck of cards) peice of cheesecake with cherry topping, tons of tea, few chocolate covered raisins

Sunday - no exercise
B - red river cereal, whole milk, egg, ww toast with jam, coffee
S - 2 muffins with margarine
L - hamburger veggie soup, angel food cake
S - 2 tarts in car on the way home - threw the other 2 out when I got home though
D - back on program - ww wrap with salsa chicken and peppers, pan fried zucchini - wasn't even tempted by the fries that DH had. He was good all weekend - home alone without much temptation - so he got to splurge on the fries - small portion though.

Went grocery shopping last night and stocked up on good veggies for the week ahead - so today

Monday - 30 minutes treadmill - I was tired but worked hard at it
B- spinach omelet, V8, glass of milk
S - 5 almonds
L - cottage cheese with pumpkin seeds, pepper and celery sticks, mushrooms
S - cheese strings
D - planned is herb salmon filet, couscous with scallions and peppers, mixed veggies

Skipped my weigh in this weekend - was going to do it after coming home, but if I gained, it will be depressing, if I lost - it will let me think I can get away with cheating like this. I will work hard this week and stick to my weigh in on Saturday morning.

Plan for this week - read more on weight training and get ready to start a more complete exercise program next week - include some free weights to improve my metabolism.

It is so hard when I don't want to disappoint people by not having what they have prepared - but the bottom line is - family comes before everything - even my health at this point.

BB - can't you just forewarn your family that you have changed your way of eating? Tell them what you can and can't eat. Then they won't prepare the food - or at least they won't be surprised when you politely say, "No thanks". Worth a thought.

[bearbelly]

RedPanda - of course you are right - I should have just told them, but I am really struggling with telling people. I have so long been the one who scoffed at diets and dieters - reveled in the fact that I wanted to enjoy eating whatever I wanted and being a glutton, that I am struggling with shame over admitting I was - heaven forbid - wrong about something. Hard for me to be wrong, harder to admit it! Must be a consequence of being an eldest child - dutiful daughter syndrome - matured into a control freak - and now I have to acknowledge that part of my life, while I thought I controlled it, was really controlling me. Agh - long sentence - got that all out in a rush!

I really have no one to blame by myself for eating what I know is bad for me - should not transfer that to family - know they would support me, and if fact they did pretty much when we got talking about the fact that I was starting to do something about my weight. Of course, I didn't get into all the details - didn't want them to jump to conclusions too quickly that maybe this is just a fad. My sister is a long time weight watchers follower, pretty healthy person. I guess I want them to notice the results and I want to be sure I can keep it up long term, so don't want to go into too much in advance - my silence is my safety net in case I fail! Too much self analysis for this early in the day! maybe for any time!

My affirmation - Even if I did try and fail, family would still love me - so next visit home, I will honor them by sharing my diet needs in advance. I know they will support me.

To the issues of today - changing the exercise program. I posted on someone else's thread asking for help in starting exercise when over 50 and out of shape. luvs_torun gave some great advice on beginning toning exercises and then PapaBanucci hit the topic with a low-down on what makes a successful exercise program - so much I never knew. I was going to copy stuff here but will just put in a link so I don't lose track of this http://www.southbeach-diet-plan.com/for ... hp?t=55126. Wicked info and I am still trying to digest.

I want to get the benefits of increased metabolic rate, had heard about adding a minute of high intensity followed by recovery, but had never seen a program like he proposes - the rising intensity measured by physical response. I tried to add cycles like that to my walk this morning - killer - and my heartrate went well over the top level he recommended - up to 155 when measured just after the most intense minute. Could only do 2 cycles and have to post back to that post for more clarification, but clearly I can be doing more just with the treadmill. Adding the weight training will also work - just have to get something consistent between these recommendations and what DH thinks I could do. So treadmill today was 30 minutes - with 1 intensity cycle and 1 abbreviated cycle - need to develop a chart to keep track of the times for this - much more complicated than what I was tracking.

Food today - the thought of all that exercise puts me off of even thinking about food -
B- 2 egg scramble with spinach - it really is not an omelette even though that is what I have been calling it. Added an oz of ham cuz I was cutting some for lunch, and V8, glass of milk. Am getting my first glass of water in by drinking it before breakfast - really have to pee by the time I get to work now.
S- 5 almonds and tea
L - ham slices, tossed salad, celery, V8 and raspberries (no sugar)
S - cheese strings
D - left over chicken stir fry in WW tortilla with guacamole and salsa and more tossed salad - romaine was on sale this week!
desert - going with a sf, lf fake dairy bar

til tomorrow,

BB

[bearbelly]

Things going great today - had a graphic illustration of how much weight I have lost from my belly by the fact that I could pull my pants off last night without opening the button or unzipping them - and they were snug when I started this a month ago. Really feeling I have less bulk in my belly and looking forward to taking measurements this weekend. Will have to buy a belt!

Was reflecting yesterday that now that I have started to exercise and am working on plans to add more to the exercise regime - I can't go back. Nothing will ever be the same again - really hit me that this is a life changing move - if I stop exercising and go back to eating the way I did - I am going to balloon up past where I was and I really don't want that. I know it seems simple and logical, but it really hit me - it is only forward from here - not that I would want to go back - there are things I miss a bit, but less than I thought I would.

So daily affirmation is - I am committed to this new lifestyle - I will make it my own and love reaping the benefits.

for Wednesday Feb 22 -
Exercise - did my 30 minutes this morning - took it easier after yesterday but used 4% incline and after 5 min warmup at 2.5 mph, did 5 at 3 mph, 10 at 3.5 mph for my maximum, then 5 at 3 mph. Legs were feeling the incline - I usually go at 3.5%. Will try the short intervals of more intense tomorrow. Have been reading to refresh my memory on technique for weights - tried out DH's dumbells - may need to get a few of my own that are lighter.

Food today
B - 2 egg with spinach scramble, V8, forgot the milk today
S - 5 almonds and tea
L - salmon, couscous, celery, peppers, cottage cheese with sunflower seeds and raspberries with a bit of plain yogurt - trying a mix to see if it causes less hunger after than plain raspberries yesterday.
S- cheese string
D - plan is pork loin, roasted yam - just a small portion, steamed veggies

going good so far - til tomorrow

[bearbelly]

Tired today - ramped up the workout this morning and feeling a bit wrung out now - guess the muscles felt it today. I did answer my own question about whether I do an intensity interval by going up in steps and then back down in steps, or drop back down to level 5 intensity directly from level 10 - it wouldn't really be level 10 if you could do a minute of level 9, then 8, etc right after. Don't know why I didn't see that at first.

So treadmill this morning was 30 minutes, 3.5% incline - 5 min at 2.5 mph, followed by three intense intervals - 2 min at 3 mph, 1 min at 3.5, 1 min at 4, and 1 min at 4.5 in the first interval - but dropped the final speed to 4.3 and then 4.2 for the second and third intervals. The over 4 mph puts me into a slow jog and gets heart rate pretty high, but I am not short of breath, and feel recovered after 2 minutes back at 3 mph, so think I can continue this for a while. Tomorrow is my day off, so figured today was a good one to push it.

Finished the drawings for my new tattoo last night - really going to be cute - tried out some different colors and will get it once I have dropped the first 20 lbs - hope that will be soon - actually looking forward to weighing myself this weekend.

Food today - Thursday Feb 23
B - 2 eggs and spinach with a bit of ham, V8, water
S - 10 almonds and tea
L - bean salad, couple slices ham, V8, 1/4 cup raspberries - no yogurt - got kind of crampy and sick yesterday after lunch and figure it might have been from the combination.
S - cheese strings - a bit later than usual so I am not hungry when going out for dinner tonight
D - fund raiser dinner - steak, salad, veggies - going to have only half the baked potatoe - will cut it in half and toss half right away - need to learn control and that will be my carb for the day - don't want to avoid it entirely.

Expect to have a great sleep tonight - know I get to sleep in an extra 30 minutes tomorrow - no treadmill.

My affirmation for today - I am strong enough to resist temptation - I will win the baked potato challenge!


til tomorrow

BB

[bearbelly]

Well - I won the baked potato challenge - but things don't always work out like planned. We skipped the whole dinner - just too crowded - and they actually double the donation because we didn't show up - so everyone wins out. We couldn't face the schmoozing and the crowd - so headed to another place.

I still did pretty well staying on program - had chicken breast, grilled pieces with Thai dipping sauce - think that might have been too sweet - was too hot to notice. My treat was a half order of fries - I know the baked potato would have been a better choice, but I only ate half of the order and didn't finish the chicken - working hard on portion control and for me the exercise in saying no to what I would have wolfed down without thinking in the past, was a good learing. I can't put myself in a position of not eating because I don't see it, have to make choices and it is good for me to take control.

So today my affirmation is - I am learning more about myself. I enjoy being in control and will learn to use that to better control myself.

I do like the fact that I don't have to feel guilty about anything - I am eating well today, feeling great and looking forward to the weekend. I am going out to buy my own dumbells tonight and will be starting my weight program on the weekend. I am still sorting out the plan for exercises, but am going to try what was suggested in the exercise post here - with some modifications. Trying to develop a sheet for tracking it and will start posting here - hope to get back in this weekend. Today was my day off from exercise - was great to have a day to recover.

For today - Friday - finally - no exercise, planned day off
B- 2 eggs with spinach and slice of ham, V8
S - 5 almonds and tea
L - ham slices, bean salad, cottage cheese with pumpkin seeds, V8
S - cheese strings
D - onion soup and mixed greens salad, fudge bar for desert

I have not been recording my milk consumption - have a glass before bed most nights - I find it fills the gap for an evening snack.

I have started to keep track of the water I drink daily. Finding it amounts to 8 mugs (250 mls or more) during the work day - more than I thought. I was going to get a fancy water bottle, but have decided I want to use a nice mug instead - will look for one this weekend.

I am really tempted to start the boot camp challenge coming up in March - will think about it for the weekend and decide whether to sign up by Monday. It is a bit intimidating, but I would like some more reinfocement to stay on track - a bit afraid of failing, but I suspect I would stick with it - might be good for me.

We booked the appointments for our new tattoos last night - March 10 - I hope to have the 20 lbs (was supposed to be 25, but not sure I will make that) off by then. Looking forward to weigh and measure tomorrow - certainly feeling like I have lost this week. My drawing is so cute - a hippo splashing in water - very cartoony and so different - I love it. Can hardly wait,

til tomorrow,

BB

[bearbelly]

Didn't make it back in yesterday - windows explorer is dying on me - keeps hanging and cannot get access. Don't realize how much we come to rely on computers til we can't use them.

Weigh in yesterday - down to what my drivers license says I weigh - can't change ticker til Monday at work but now 184 lbs, so pretty happy with how the last 2 weeks have gone. I have dropped in measurements too - from bust 45 to 43.5, waist 43.5 to 40.5 and hips 44 to 42, so this is working!! Really feels worth it - the results are great and I am feeling so good. I have been reading some of the posts about what people eat on a daily basis and about portion size - will have to consider reducing my portions of things like meat though - I am tending to overeat meat, especially at lunch.

Started weights this weekend - and now I understand why I can't just consider my intense walking days a substitute for weights on my legs - they don't have anywhere near the impact that the actual concentrated exercises do - and I was just doing a very small weight - just to recall form and get going again. My body aches - but DH has been great - re-organized his weight room to make room for my smaller weights - I got some 5 lb dumbells and we got a good bench yesterday that is nice and stable - will expand what he is doing too.

So the planned program is:
Saturday - Lower body in am, 45 minute light walk, possibly eliptical in pm
Sunday - Upper body in am, 45 minute light walk or eliptical in pm
Monday - Intense interval walk - 30 minutes in am
Tuesday - Incline walk - 30 minutes in am
Wednesday - Upper body in am, Lower body in pm
Thursday - Intense interval walk - 30 minutes in am
Friday - off

All weights are minimal, starting with 3 sets of 15-20 reps - with enough weight on final set so I can only do 12 - if yesterday and today are any indication, it will be the same weight as I start with - I am just tired by the third set.

Upper body is:
Chest - push ups and flys
Back - upright rows
Shoulders - lateral raises
Biceps - curls
Triceps - kickback

Lower body is:
Quads - step ups
Hamstring - deadlift - like this one, can feel it in my back
Abs - leg lifts, crunches, seated twists
Calves - I have such huge calves with alread tons of muscle that I am going to do calf stretches - focus on the extending part of the movement instead of the raised part.

Is really interesting to go back to this after so many years away - I had no idea how much strength I had lost - but I have to start with low weights - really feeling it today after even the amount I did yesterday and this morning.

Food has gone well this weekend - stayed on plan pretty much - did have a bit of seafood sauce with my scallops last night.

Saturday - 30 minute treadmill in am, lower body in afternoon
B- flaxmeal pancakes with sf syrup, milk
S- 5 almonds and V8
L - bean salad and slice of ham, half green pepper, half red pepper
S - half apple and V8
D - scallops in lemon juice with ginger, coleslaw and made sf low fat vanilla mouse from package for desert - pretty good, but still not used to the splenda flavor.

Have to run - will fill in today's menu later

til later,

BB

[bearbelly]

Really feeling the start of doing the weights today - legs are sore, but better than yesterday. Did my long walk last night and the intense intervals this morning and in general feel better after each workout. Glad tomorrow is just a regular incline walk.

We ordered the eliptical on the weekend and it will arrive on Wednesday, so expect that I will be able to use if for some of the cardio - can get the heart rate up without knee or upper thigh damage - am still afraid of running much after injury a few years back.

Food went well yesterday - exercised too much to have much appetite.

Sunday Feb 26 -
Upper body workout and 50 minutes treadmill
B - spinach omelete and turkey bacon (weird stuf - first time we have tried it and I would rather have ham), V8
S - 5 almonds - we were out driving around and was glad I had them in the car
L - scallops (left over), bean salad - weird combination but using stuff up
S - cheese strings - 2
D - turkey breast, pizza beans, baked butternut squash with sf jello for desert

The pizza beans were a hit - DH thought they were really quite good - better than he expected and that is one recipie we will make again.

Monday Feb 27
Treadmill - 30 minutes with 3 intervals
B - 2 egg scramble with green pepper and ham
S - skipped - stuck in a meeting
L - ham slice, coleslaw, carrot and celery sticks, 1/4 cup cottage cheese
S - 2 cheese strings
D - plan is small steak, tossed salad and butternut squash

feeling tired with a bit of a headache this afternoon - meetings all day so will be glad to be done work.

til tomorrow,

BB

[bearbelly]

Had a rough night last night - upset stomach - don't know if it was from lunch or whether I am just coming down with something - had headaches too. But tossed the rest of the cottage cheese and ham I had in the fridge in case it was what made my stomach upset. Didn't want a repeat of that. Not too much appetite for dinner, but seems to have resolved today.

DH is rearranging the exercise room - making room for the eliptical that is due to arrive tomorrow. Adding one thing to a very small space requires a huge adjustment in everything else - total rearrangement, but really looking forward to the new equipment - thanks to a really good tax refund this year!

Today was my light day on treadmill and legs are feeling better for it. Much less tired and sore - will be all ready for tomorrow when they get hit with weight again!

Today - Tuesday Feb 28 -
Treadmill 30 minutes with 5% incline
B - 2 eggs with green pepper and tomato, V8
S - 5 almonds and tea
L - tinned salmon, tossed salad, carrot and celery, V8
S - cheese string
D - indian chicken breast, brown basmati rice (bought this on the weekend and will be first time trying the brown version) and zucchini with sf fudgecicle for desert. Plan on milk before bed.

Have been looking at my food consumption and realize I am really not adding the fruits and grains that I should be - still afraid to gain - and after reading some threads about going properly in to P2, I am going to resolve to get in my fruit and grains each day.

Affirmation - I can add fruit to my meal plan without going overboard and pigging out on it - I will have self control!!

til tomorrow,

BB

[bearbelly]

Today was second day of weight work out - upper body exercises this morning and lower body tonight - after a dinner out - that will be a bit of a challenge, but hope to stay on program - just hate to lose ground.

Did 3 sets each of pushups, lateral raises, flys, kickbacks and bicep curls - managed in 45 minutes, so didn't take much longer than my usual walk. Still a bit tiring afterward - really want to just go back to sleep when I have showered.

A bit tired through the day as well - not feeling the lift I did when I started walking - the muscle work is more draining. I did find my chest muscles were a bit sore after the first workout - not nearly as bad as my legs, so will be interesting to see if chest is sore again this time. I didn't feel it much in my arms before.

Trying for 15 reps on warm-up and then getting fewer for second and upping weight on third set. Doing 20 reps just feels funny - sort of as if I have no weight on at all - cannot bring myself to do it.

Meals and snacks today have been rushed - meetings all day again, although the person I was supposed to be taking out tonight for dinner had to cancel - bad winter weather and no driving - so it is just DH and I - we got the reservations and have been anxious to try this place again, so we decided we would go anyway.

Today - Wednesday, March 1
B- 2 fried eggs and raw red pepper, V8
S - 5 almonds
L - salmon again - no time to prep anything else, left over tossed salad, carrot and celery sticks, V8 and half portion lemon zest ricotta cream - made it last night with real lemon juice, pulp and zest and it is so much better than with just lemon juice - the way I made it before!
S - 2 cheese strings - hungry and want to be a bit full before dinner tonight
D - no idea - it is a bistro with small portions and really nice tasting food - will depend on what is on menu - but will try and behave!!

til tomorrow

[bearbelly]

Well - I took the plunge and signed up for boot camp - need another way to connect with people here who are going through the same stuff. Our group that started at the same date is shrinking and the women are great, but there are hardly any of us left. Will be good to try and stay on track with some group goals too.

Last night dinner was a really great date for me and DH - we were there from 6-8:30 and didn't even notice the time go by. Great fun. Shouldn't even mention the food, but the glass of red wine was on program, no potatoes and only one small peice of bread - some good veggies, but I am thinking the chicken breast skin was not a good idea - but the date and brie stuffing gave me cheese and a fruit serving! I know the desert certainly wasn't on plan - but I still feel like I did pretty well and it was wonderful for flavor. Best place we have tried for food since we moved here.

Back on the bandwagon today - resolved to eat my fruit today, so had an apple for lunch -

Thursday - March 2
Treadmill - intense cycle cardio workout today - 30 minutes
Will do lower body and abs tonight - tried to get both upper body and lower body on Wednesdays, but think it may be better to do lower body Thursday night.
B- 2 eggs with red pepper and V8
S - 5 almonds
L - bean soup, V8, mixed veggies and apple
S - left over half portion of ricotta creme
D - ww pitas split to make 'pizza' - homemade sauce, veggies and lf mozza, no desert tonight - ricotta for snack.

Looking forward to tomorrow - get my planned day off exercise - means half hour more rest in the morning.

Affirmation for today - I still feel really good about myself even though I didn't make the healthiest choices for dinner last night - I made choices I am content to live with.

til tomorrow,

BB

[bearbelly]

Finally Friday - was nice to sleep in a bit this morning - day off from exercise, but I miss the treadmill a bit - like it better than doing weights.

Did shopping trip last night and got spinach - had been missing it in my breakfasts - peppers are great but spinach is what really makes eggs great in my book. Added it to my pizza topping last night too - the ww crust was ok, but I felt really heavy all night - think it was too much for me - am going to make sure I don't overdo the grains. Rest of the 'pizza' was good - peppers, tomato, purple onion, - just didn't feel the need for so much bread.

Struggled with weights last night - worked a bit on the elliptical but haven't got it programed yet and it seems really tight - thought the tension was adjustable, but no idea how - really poor instructions on this brand. Leg workout went well - think I have the right weights now. Abs I did leg raises and bent knee raises for lower abs, crunches for upper. Feel the lower abs and hips but not much on the upper abs - seem to be feeling that as tension in my neck and shoulders - not doing it right. Got in my reps though and hope it will help once I get into the routine.

Tried the fitday website today to input diet and exercise info - a bit too detailed even for me!! But fun to check out if I think there may be a stall or something - it would explain it. Seems now I get too much fat - must be the eggs and cheese amounts.

Today - March 3
Day off exercise
B - 2 eggs with spinach omelette, V8
S - 5 almonds
L- can of salmon, spinach salad with mushrooms, peppers, tomato and bit of dressing, apple, V8
S - cheese strings
D- chicken breast with ww pasta in left over bruschetta - will have a fudgecicle for desert tonight.

will try to get on during the weekend -
