————————————————————————————–

I expected a drop in weight this morning but yeah I was surprised at seeing two whole pounds!  Yikes!  I wonder if I’ll actually keep it.  I never know, especially when I have a loss brought on by being sick.

I feel better today.  I had some discomfort this morning but it was pretty mild.  Thanks so much for all the well-wishes!  I felt the positive vibes.  =D

tennisThis morning my co-workers came to the office prepared … for tennis!  There were actually five of us at the office today and the three who went with me last Friday were excited to go again.  The fourth (D., who was out of town last week) had no interest at all in playing tennis but she decided to come along and watch (oh, and take pictures!). 

We spent the whole hour laughing!  With all four of us playing, we found that we were more successful at getting the ball to actually go back and forth across the net.  Oh, not that we were *good* by any means, but at least we didn’t suck quite so bad!  The sun was shining and it was really hot out, but I think we all really enjoyed the exercise and the hilarity. 

For the first half hour, I was playing next to M., our Administrative Assistant.  (She was the one who was wearing sandals last week and spent her time retrieving balls for us.)  She had a hard time at first but then warmed up and did just fine.  At one point, a ball came at her and she held her racket up in front of her to hit it - and I heard the ball *whack!* but then it disappeared!  I was like “Where’d it go?!” and poor M. was looking around, up, behind - looking for the ball - and then we all saw it at the same time and burst out laughing.  It had gotten lodged in her racket!  Ha!  What are the chances of that happening?!?

So here we are, the four of us.  I don’t really care for the picture of me LOL my legs are so white and my hair is wild and I look so frumpy!  But then I realized why I look so frumpy - it’s because my clothes are hanging on me!!  The shorts and t-shirt I was wearing are too big on me now.  =D
