Dianne,
I always chose a Mexican restaurant for dinner on my birthday; it's my favorite cuisine...cheese, guacamole,mmmmmmm. Which also explains the weight I'm at! I could eat Mexican food every day. You did well by skipping the guacamole, etc! Glad you had a happy birthday.
Myra, I've been thinking of you today, and hope your procedure went okay. Take care of yourself and know that you're in our prayers.
Terri, my sister-in-law was reading that book during the summer. Don't know if she tried it, she's been losing using the xenical pill. Not for me, but it works for her, she had quite a bit to lose, and has lost 85 lbs. so far.
Essie, good for you on joining the gym! It'll be nice that you have someone to take the classes with. I'd love to have an exercise buddy near me: I live in the burbs, and my family and friends are in the city. Gotta go out and meet new people! I've never heard of that cereal for women.....what does it do that makes it unique for women?
Went into the city for a haircut today and had lunch with my older sister. She's going through her 2nd (!) divorce, but is handling it well. She is the mom of 6 beautiful grown daughters, and the grandmom of 10 ! And she's only 53. Anyhow, we had a nice visit.
I'm registering at our community college tomorrow to take some classes in January. I never went to college, and really looking forward to this next phase in my life. I made the appt. to talk to an advisor, and I'm really psyched about this!
It's been 3 months since I quit my job. I absolutely love being home and being a homemaker. However, I didn't anticipate missing the mental challenge of working, or the interaction with other people. Taking some classes should help fill the gap.
