Hello hello hello!!!
We had severe thunderstorms last Wednesday; our house received a direct strike of lightning and fried ALOT of our electronics; also knocked out our two phone lines; so that's why I haven't been here!!!
Insurance will cover the TV; VCR; satellite receiver; airport hub; but my husband works from home with the use of computer, modem, fax, etc; so it's been a frustrating week for him (and hence for me!
)
But I have been eating/exercising right along, and doing good. When I have something rich /sweet (like my son's birthday cake - chocolate/chocolate, yum) I make sure to cut back on other stuff so to keep things in check. I'm psyched to report I'm down to 158 now; the mystical 150's!!!
Jacklyn, so sorry to hear of your back/muscle pain. Does Ibuprofen help? That's supposed to help swelling in muscles. I sure hope you get relief soon.
Kina, I just saw a new Kashi cereal yesterday, and bought it; it's a Cinnamon Raisin crunch. I had a 1/2 cup this morning with vanilla nonfat yogurt, and it's yummy! I have absolutely no problems in the "powder room" and it's probably due to Kashi everyday (and lots of water, & fresh veggies).
I appreciate your concern about motorcycle safety; I have thought carefully about it, and follow all safety precaution; am enrolled to take a State-approved safety course in August; and wear protective clothing (and am going shopping for leather today).
Hi Kewi; how ya doing? Your mom sounds inspirational! Has she always been like that, or has she lost weight and this is her new way of living? You and I sound very similar body-wise; except you are a 1/2 inch taller.
Hi tryin'hard!!! We are SO thrilled for your comfortable-ness with your slim self!!! What a feeling not to be self-conscious or uncomfortable. And a tanned tummy!!! Good for you!!!
It is going to be a very warm and humid day here today; in the 90's (which is unusual for Vermont) and I might venture to swimming at the lake; it's always an exercise in thinking "everyone's looking at me; everyone looks better than me" - well, I hope I can overcome that by knowing I have worked hard to lose 18 pounds; and am still working on making myself better; and we all deserve to put on a swimsuit and jump in the water and enjoy summer!!!
Have a GREAT day everyone! And if I'm sporadic in replying it's only because I have to share phone line time with my husband until the other line is repaired (maybe tomorrow).
Your friend, Holly
