Good Morning Rita - How was your weekend? Mine as you know was quite busy. The weather was quite pleasant was well, surprisingly. I have been working out a bit more, feeling a bit better, still no movement on the scale though. I hope you are having more luck then I am. I would love to be 150 - I'm at 172 today.

George Carlin was ok last night - had 2 young girls in front of us which made it a bit uncomfortable for people around them - they couldn't have been more than 10 yrs old. Not a show to take them to.

Well, off to work. Have a terrific day! Penny

Good Morning Penny well my weekend was not as fun as yours as I worked all three days but will have this weekend comming up off so something to look forward to sorry you didnt get to enjoy the show as have went to many with the same situation with kids being there and not watching the show and usually so packed that you cant change seats well you know I am at 154 nowand trying to get below 150 and staying there is like you trying to loose and the scale not budging and when it does for me it is going up but we both wont give up as for me just got to stay away from the sweets and exercise more well it is monday so really going to set my goal for today even if it is one will stick to ittoday is water as I hate drinking it so really going to try well drank my to get me started and it is nice outside so going to get movin have a great day and wish me luck on my drinking waterbig grin Rita

Hey Rita - at least you are maintaining your weight, which is always a good thing. We just have to keep up our spirits. Don't give up. Well I'm off to physical therapy. You have a great evening. Hope you have lots of plans for the weekend.

Penny

HI Rita - how are things? Sounds like you have a great weekend planned. I will be getting ready for the family to start arriving next week. I have bread to make, corn to freeze, etc... But I enjoy that kind of thing. I don't eat much bread anymore, but my folks and kids like it.

I have increased my calories like many people suggested - and guess what - yep, put on 1.5 lbs this past week. Sucks to say the least. How are you doing? Staying on course? I just don't know where to go from here. Maybe it's muscle gain, I worked out 6 days straight - hopefully it's that. Will have to try on some clothes that I haven't been able to wear and see!

Well, I'm taking it easy tonight, PT did me in yesterday, have to go again tomorrow. Have a great evening. Penny

HEY Rita - yep it's been really quiet. I hope the ladies are OK and they come back soon. It's great that you are drinking your water - I know it's tough in the beginning, but once you get used to it, it's great.

I'm not to worried about getting all the cooking done. My mom is bringing some things and will be helping me out. She is a great cook, it's just keeping things on the "lite" side.

Sound like you are doing great in getting some exercise in. Walking the dog is great. I have increased my workouts to 5 days, plus 2 days of physical therapy. I bought a CRUNCH Salsa dancing and a Hula dancing DVD - it's alot of fun and a great workout.

Well, off to spend sometime with the old man. Have a great day! Penny

Good Morning Rita - how's it going? I'm getting ready to take the kid to practice, get some cooking done, clean out a closet or two and maybe go to the fair. I hope that you have a great weekend and not work to hard.

How's the exercising going? Ride that bike some more, it's a great workout. I will be doing some walking today, not sure if I will get much else in or not - I hope too, but it's going to be a very busy day.

Hi Rita - how was the horseback riding? I love to ride, to bad it cost so much. Have you been watching the Olympics? I would die to have some of them bodies.

I didn't get everything I wanted to done. I will just have to make the bread Saturday, at least I will know that it will turn out then. I expect the gang between 8-9 tonight, so it's going to be a long week.

Well have to go make dinner, hope you're having a wonder day! Penny

HI! Penny just wanted to pop in and say I know you are busy just hopeing things are comming along as you have planned nice and smooth hope that you are getting some exercise in as I know it is hard with a house full of people so have a great day Rita

Good morning Rita - thought I would check in real quick before the troops awakened! Boy, I'm not used to all the commotion. I have been getting some exercise in, not as much as I would like though. I cancelled my physical therapy appointments, just to much going on right now.

Sounds like you are getting along great - keep up the good work. I will be checking in throughout the weekend - everyone is to leave on Sunday.

Hugs, Penny
