Hi gals! I had wanted to get out here yesterday and catch up on the posts but I was wiped out when I got home. Yesterday was our annual golf outing at work. Every year they take a group of us to play golf which would be great if I played golf, but I don't. So instead it is miserable for me. It has gotten really hot here already and being this overweight certainly does not make it easier to be traipsing around a golf course in 95 degree weather! On a positive note, I counted the day as about 2 hours of walking out of the totla 4.5 hours we were on the course so I will definitely be making my May exercise goal...only have 30 minutes left to go.
When I got home from golf it was all I could do to shower and the throw myself onto the couch to veg out in front of the TV. I fell asleep for a couple of hours. I was just physically so tired. I think it was a combination of being out in the sun and heat as well as all the physical exhertion I am not used to, but I am still feeling the effects of it....just feeling sort of run down and lethargic. Oh well, I won't have to worry about doing that again for another year and hopefully by then I will be alot thinner and it won't be so hard on me.
Annie - Big congratulations on being down another 4 pounds!!! You are really on a roll. If your back is hurting, I'd definitely think about taking a break from Curves and give yourself time to feel better. You don't want to hurt yourself!
hypnotq - I just noticed you are in Plano. That's where I live!!! What a small world. If you ever want a walking buddy, let me know. I'd love to have someone to walk with every now and then!
Nancy - Your comment about not knowing how many gaskets you have made me laugh. You are being very smart not to make financial committments with your BF right now. You have a really good head on your shoulders. Thanks for sharing your vacation pics. I loved the one with your hair blowing. You look lovely and happy in that picture!
Dusty/Ammi - Oh my goodness, do I know what you are talking about with Welsh men! I met one over the internet when I was young and dumb and although I never met him in person he truely swept me off my feet. Just from phone conversations with him I can totally understand why Ammi's mom put her on birth control!

How can men from such a small country be so famous with women everywhere?
Valerie - Just wanted to add my kudos to you for sticking it out in your exercise class! Way to go!
teahoney - I am really glad to see you popping in. I am sorry you are in a funk though. I can totally relate to that and I bet so can alot of us. Just promise to be gentle and kind to yourself and to never give up on yourself. Stick with us. You can do it.
Kayley and all others who are travelling for the long weekend - Be safe and have fun!
VioletSwerve - Are you still with us? I know you have been busy with your move to KC. Hope you are doing OK and that we hear from you soon.
