I have heard of the book... allot lately, but no, I haven't read it. Sounds like one I need to go out and buy 
) I went to Curves for 1 1/2 years and really enjoyed it. It's a great workout and I lost inches going there. I just found it hard to get there during their hours which in some places are very limited. I find it much easier just to go walking or do my Walk Away the Pounds DVD's in my house. 
will be coming soon, as I am watching the skies get darker as I write this. That's okay... we need it and at least it held off long enough for me to get in my walk this morning of 3.25 miles 
You sound so very proud of your children and grandchild... and rightly so. It's nice to hear all about you 
Now... you said your birthday is in February... when in February? Mine is the 8th... are you close Busy here... isn't it 
Spring has Sprung Glad you enjoyed the chuckle 
W W!!! Down 6 lbs... awesome! Keep up the good job! You have good results in other areas of your phy. exam I take it... Glad to hear that your physical went well! You are so bad... ...

*Hello's to all our MIA's... prayers are being said for you *

I you mean a lull in the road to success...prayer prayer and more prayer. Scripture, scripture and more scripture. Do you use your ab lounger much? I have one and I use it for a clothes line to dry my nicer things. cbaumgardner , 04-20-2005 01:56 PM
I have a nephew, Adam, currently serving with the National Guard there, called up for 18 months and still has about 12 still to go. They just keep getting cuter! I can tell that you've been feeling a whole lot better just by the difference in your posts. Whatever it is you're doing, - keep it up. The 33.25 mi. walking is GREAT except I can feel your breath on the back of my neck with each step, I walked at lunch and am now at 34.6, so see, you're just about two steps behind me. . . By the way, see if you can't send us some of that rain, a little better than two weeks now without a drop! Brush fires are bad. 
That may help, - good luck. Sorry about DH and swelling problems, we'll keep these in our prayers and you as well. Perhaps with the new computer system we'll hear from you a little more often?? How's the Yarn Cafe going? Hope all's well.
perhaps the offering plate would be the best place for it??? Glad to hear your physical went well. I carry my lunch also almost every day. I just get tired of the fast food junk and the prices. 'Brown bagging' is much cheaper and healthier (if you pack it right!).
I noticed your tracker and your goal is VERY manageable, keep reaching, - you'll get there soon! even if it is just 2x around the block. As moms we just continue to give and give, we need to realize we need to take care of ourselves once in a while too. 
Keep it up. I feel better about myself for continuing the walking, almost every day (thank you SUNNY for helping inspire/motivate me) and just feel like I'm really going to do it this time. Anyway, hope everyone has a great Wednesday - Margiecbaumgardner , 04-20-2005 03:21 PM

My family and I had a great time at Birch Bay. It was so beautiful! I did not know what the plan was, but my husband and his friend planned the weekend for me and his friends wife to relax. So they took care of the kids (5 total) had a menu and cooked all of the meals, and poured plenty of wine and coffee. It was amazing!! 
I couldnt believe it! It was raining on Friday when we arrived so we spent the evening in the condo. Then the next day the Lord blessed us with some warm sunshine. The kids were so happy. The beach was right across the street from us so I took them over there. The tide had just went out so they found a bunch of clams. So I told them we would take them back and cook them. They had so much fun. Then we went back and boiled the clams and put them in some garlic butter. The kids wouldnt eat them because of the way they looked, (quite different then when it is in the beautiful shell). 
So my husband, our friends and I ate them with some salmon, steak, roasted corn and white wine! Delicious!! 
The kids spent alot of time in the hot tub, the pool and the game room. I must say that I did get up on Sat. morning and go to the gym and walked an hour on the tredmill and lifted some weights. 
It made me feel less guilty about all the food I had eaten. Sunday, the kids did some more swimming and then we checked out at noon. It was really nice. But then when I woke up on Monday I was so sick!! 
I think I caught a cold down there. So I am recovering from that, and I didnt come into work yesterday because my 1 year old daughter woke up at 5am with a 102 fever. She was not a happy camper. 
So I stayed home with her and today my husband stayed home and is taking her to her doctors appt. at 4pm. So we have been quite busy lately!
