Susan,
What a wonderful accomplishment for you....10 miles!!! Now that's using activity points! lol Seriously, I'm proud of you, keep it up.
As far as things being so quiet around here....and I can only speak for myself...when I'm not On Program, am floundering, or just plain being a deadbeat in terms of dieting, I tend to visit here every day and read posts, but don't add anything. It's so much easier than facing up to falling off the wagon!
Terri,
Hope you're feeling better. It seems to be going around.
And I hope Britts gets a new book!
Everyone's fine. Matt is enjoying 1st grade, Brandon is in 4th. Joey and Ili are well. She hosted a baby shower for her daughter Valerie, who's due in mid-October. She's 22..single...lives with baby's father...works two jobs. Lots of growing up to do, but I think she'll be okay with baby. What can you do?
My friend Donna has gone to Iowa .
Friday was her last day Her husband, Chris, retired from the Navy the week before (he put in 20 years and is 39). Joe and I were invited to the ceremony at Great Lakes Naval Station. A very impressive day. He was the only honoree....great speeches, letters from Pres. Bush, former Presidents Bush and Clinton...good food, rooms overnight, a fun time, actually!
Then a huge goodbye celebration at work...with drinks out with a large group of co-workers afterwards which our boss (Director of Finance) picked up the tab for...then Donna and Chris came back to our house to spend the night. Lots of tears, fun, and drinks I miss her already.
Soooo.....have to get seriously back on track. I cannot even begin to describe the damage I've done since the wedding in May. Suffice to say I've got to lose at least 10 pounds to get back there!!!
HI to everyone. Joe's picking up his brother, Dave, from O'Hare airport tonight; he's coming in from the Gulf of Mexico, where he's been working on oil rigs. He'll be here for possibly a week, don't know yet It never ends!......
love,
~Jen
