Thanks for moving us Sunny. I had been thinking that we should do it too!

I have just a couple of minutes to post. It's almost work time. I haven't even had my yet. I think I'll wait until I get there.

I have really done well with the snacking. I don't eat in the evenings anymore and if I get the munchies a few peanuts does the trick. I am also noticing it in my clothes. They are getting looser. I am going to carry on this way until I hit a plateau and then do something to change my eating up a bit.

This weekend we are hosting 2 dinners. On Good Friday we'll have DH's old aunts in and then on Sunday my family is coming over for dinner. It'll be a bit more work but I'm looking forward to it.

Next weekend DH and I have booked a cabin to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We're not into big parties and thought we'd like some time alone. We haven't seen much of each other lately and need to spend some time together.

I've gotta run now. Have a super day!

Good Morning CEers!!!!!


I'm feeling a little better this morning. I'm off so I sleep in and now I'm sipping my and trying to come to life. I think most of problem was lack of sleep with trying to fight the infection. I still have lots of fluid behind my right ear cause I'm still echoing. And my poor little DD's voice is the worse echoer. And the high pitched cartoons!!! The kids here are out of school today, tomorrow and Monday for "spring break". The oldest DD is babysitting.
SUNNY!!!!!!! So glad to see you back!!!!!!!!! And thanks so much for starting the new thread as well as moving us. I thought it was a good idea to move. That helps Aggie and I since we have been posting over "there" anyway. Girl, you had us all worried about ya. Hope everything is fine and you have just been on the busy bus lately. We ALL know about that one!! Lots of reading to catch up on, look forward to hearing more from you.

Wilma~Sounds like you have a busy weekend with your dinners. I'm kinda of glad I don't have to worry about that. We don't have family around close so it will be quiet. Congratulations on your 25 years of marriage!!!!!! That is a major accomplishment this day in time. And going to the cabin sounds wonderful!!!! That's my kind of anniversary.

Michele~ Good to hear from you too. You are going to be ON PLAN today and do GOOD!!! It's that positive thinking that will get you there. Have a good one!!!

Well, coffee is running out and I've got lots to get done today. I didn't get much done at all yesterday with feeling bad. So, it's up to do housework!!! Yuck!!! But somehow it doesn't get done by itself. Cya later!

Have a GREAT day!!!!!!!

Sunny!!!!!!

I'm SOOOOOOOO happy that you are back!!!! You surely Brighten up the place in many more ways that one. WOW, so GREAT about the T-Mill!!!!:treadmill: It's truly amazing how much stuff they can put on one now. You almost need an Engineer's degree to operate them. And girl you have the endurance!!!! ONE WHOLE HOUR?!?!?!?!? Wow!! I know I'm impressed. But you are in the ONE-DERFUL AREA NOW!!!!!
Keep up the GOOD work!!! Those inches and lbs will be falling and sliding off the T-mill as you are working out!

Have a GOOD ONE!!!!!

Thought I should check in other than the devotions that I post.

Am finally feeling better. Over the flu and cold but last night hubby went to bed early not feeling well at all - still not up to par this morning - so don't know whether we have another 'bug' in the house or not.

Back from my cancer visit - all went well, doc said all looks ok - am to see him again on June 2 for a consulation / exam to discuss follow up visits for the next 4 years.

Then we travelled to see my mother who has just turned 86. Haven't been able to see her for 2.5 years. Was a very good visit, all went well. It was short but that is ok as long as we were able to see her.

Curves - unfortunately I have discontinued my membership there, they refunded all the monies. Long story behind it all but the short of it all is that there were 2 women that were uncuth and rude, whining terribley, and just plain making things uncomfortable for some of us. I just felt I could not continue going there knowing that there was this kind of 'nit picking' going on.

The upside of it all though is we have another women's workout with similar machines - actually some of them are better I think. I have taken out a 3 month membership with them. They have been in town now for 2 months, and just starting to get a nice cliental - about 100 women so far. They have a few benefits that I don't think Curves had but could be wrong. For instance if you are ill for any length of time they will automatically extend your membership by that time. Also should you be away on holidays they will extend your membership for that also.

Today I went for my first workout - it feels so good to be back doing this.
I have set a goal for the next 3 months - took my starting weight today and am going to work on losing 30 pounds by July 10 - it means I am really going to have to be serious. This is a lot of weight to lose in 3 months but I have a lot to lose so this would give me a great jump start.

Well, have to run - have a few other sites that I manage at msn.groups and need to update them - then back to teaching my kiddos there school. Son is doing so much better!!

Philippians 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.


Jeff made his living as a night watchman at a large company. He sat for hours at a console that housed a bank of television screens. For his efforts, he pulled a sizable paycheck. Many of Jeff's friends criticized him for getting so much for doing nothing. His reply, 'Hey, if they're willing to pay it, why shouldn't I get it?' Too often people look for ways of getting something for nothing. As God's children, we should always be looking for ways to be the best people we can be, not cutting corners, but committing ourselves to the pursuit of God's pleasure.
Today's thought: Today I will be the best dieter I can be!
