Hi everyone!
I should be doing so much else, but alas, here I am....again!
To be honest, I saw the pjk and thought: "Whoa, gotta write right away".
pjk, honey, how are you??? I got the letter you sent last Spring (as a matter of fact it is sitting in a pile right here beside my computer) and have tried to reach you by email several times with no luck (returned). I do apologize that I didn't write "snail mail" back or phone, but I just didn't....time seems to get away from me. I've been so bad lately....well for a long while....about getting stuff done. If I don't make a list, I don't do it. If I make a list, I don't do it either.
* Anyway, I hope you don't hate me for not being a better friend. I'm glad you're back.
Joyce: Good to see you too. I noticed we hadn't heard from you since your Christmas Card and I was wondering what happened to you. Hope all is well. Sorry you won't be able to make it to Fling. I'm sure your BIL will enjoy all the company for his birthday.
Mary: I sure hope your headache is gone. Mine lasted all day yesterday.
SueMarie: I can't help you with your Mother Nature issues. I've never had a problem, no matter what I've weighed. I've been like clockwork, no cramps, no problems all my life. I have to say though that now that I'm 50, SHE is being a bit of a pain in the butt! Terrible PMS with mood swings, backaches and sore boobs. Sorry if that's TMI, but you asked.
JazzGurl: I don't have a Gazelle, but I have an Airwalker. Sorta the same thing, same premis anyway. My hips are too wide to fit between the upright bars now, but that's probably because I've never really used it for much more than a clothes hanger!
Even when I used to get on it tho', I couldn't do it for very long. It's not much better on the knees than walking is.
Judy: If I could get down into or back out of a tub, I might try it. The only ones that I will relax in are the big jacuzzi tubs when Honey and I go away. Then I could sit in it all night. Nothing more relaxing, IMHO. The only trouble I have is getting back out of even those. My knees die trying to get out, or down in, for that matter.
GizmoV: I'm so glad you decided to bite the bullet and come post with us. Before you know it you'll be right at home here. We've all been where you are, being new, being heavy and needing someone to understand. WELCOME!
Terri: Oh, that's great that it's the February issue. Now I know I can find it. * I totally missed the conversation about Ginger. Wonder why she keeps getting the absesses? Must be prone to them or something. That would be very noble for you to give her up because it's in HER best interests. A typical "mom" thing to do. [[[hugs]]]
My friend that has the horse, I know I've spoke of her before, anyway Big Shot is going to college this year. The daughter is a college freshman and they knew that during the school year she would not be riding. And even though my friend is FAR THINNER than I, she thinks she's too fat to ride herself. So they found a college equestrian program and Big Shot went to college. The only thing they have to pay is the vet bills, if there are any. Room and board is all covered by the college because they are using the horse in the program. I guess he's very happy and getting along up there famously.
Marcie: I started out having nothing to say too but look what's happened.
Hope you made it through your hunger attack.
Teflon: I think the protein thing is right on no matter what eating plan you may be on. I try to have a little protein throughout the day in order to not have the hungries hit.
Hilta: I loved your desciption of "Diamond Dust". That's exactly what it looks like. Unfortuneately, the flurries we've had here have been coming on grey days.
Jamie/Daise: Welcome to our little corner. AND congratulations on your 18 pounds gone and the good habits that you are forming. It's amazing how each baby step develops into that new way of living that we are all searching for. Hope you'll post often.
2cute: It sounds like you've outdone yourself again. I can't comment personally because I haven't seen your new creation yet, but I'm ready to really DO this one! 'Bout dang time, you say???
I can hear you!!!!
Well, I think I'm caught up again. If I missed you it was NOT intentional.
For Thankful Thursday, I'm thankful that when I took my pills this morning I noticed that my blood pressure pill was not in the bin and now surmise that that's probably why I felt so lousy yesterday. I forgot to put the BP pills in the little bins for this week so I haven't had one since last Saturday. Needless to say, I'm feeling better today.
Guess it would be a good idea to double check those things, eh?
Gotta run. Honey's on his way home. I want to vaccuum the family room before he gets here. I still have Christmas Tree needles all over the carpet
and a guy is coming tomorrow to replace the leather cover on one of the cushions of my sofa.
I was also hoping to mop the floor by the front door before anyone came in from work (
too late, the "baby's already home). It's is a mess from everyone coming in with wet shoes and leaving them there. All a bunch of dried puddles. I really don't like my house. You come in the front door and in from the garage all in the same place and so there's no "back door" to park all the shoes at. One more thing for my list of what my next house needs to have.
Ok, you all, I'm really out of here now. See you later. Love
ya bunches!
That one always confuses me) and had a few fries here and there, but I'm still eating healthy for my busy lifestyle... so much better than 3 months ago, and I'm very thankful for that.
Of course I remember you !!!
to lose a collective total of 300 pounds in 2005. This year, its a NET 300 pounds gone because we want it to come off and stay off. We'll use the weigh-in's at the end of each 2x2 to tally up the losses (or gains!).
I don't know how that happened.
Who said it would be easy to lose two pounds in two weeks, me right? Guess again!
