Good morning all,I have the day off finally so wanted to stop by right away.The wedding went far better than I expected.Am glad it is over.My eating has been totally out of control the last few days.Am trying to get back on track.Did go in the pool and swim laps this morning and did the ab-doer too.Hpe to do our walk tonight.So I guess every little bit helps.
Donna--We are all thinking about you.For those of you that don't know.Donna recently lost her Mother so this is a very hard time for her now.
I have so much to catch up today.I miss my long weekends I used to get.One day here and there makes it hard sometimes.
Hope everyone had a nice Easter

Good Morning,

I wanted to stop in before I started work. It felt funny taking the bus again this morning after so long. A lot of people are off today so the bus wasn't very crowded. The expectation is ridership will be down for a bit anyway. I had a good weekend but didn't get anything done that I wanted to. Went looking for neighbourhoods to move to yesterday so we have narrowed our search down a bit.

Eleni.....glad the wedding went better than you thought. It is hard to keep on track with events like that happening. It seems everything has to involve food. Even at work.....have fun....have food. Sounds like you are doing well with the exercise....swimming, abdoer and if you walk. I wish I could swim more but I don't like going to the public pools and the times aren't convenient.

Donna.....I am very sorry to hear about your Mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.

I better get ready to start work. I have a short week.....it is my Friday off and I am going to take another day in lieu of today (yesterday). Hope everyone has a great day.

Hi Ladies! I am back! I have missed everyone so much I am at work today and my phone line is still down at home The phone company is suppose to come by today so hopefully I will be back online tonight! I need to be here. It helps me so much.

I was so excited yesterday when I got home because 1. I got a a letter from Eleni and postcards and a nice bookmark. I was so supprised and so excited when I got it THANKS SO MUCH! I am starting catecism classes to become Catholic later in the year so I have been read the Catecism to the Catholic Church so the bookmark came in handy

2. Reason to be excited is that I did pretty good down the river. I did eat some chips but I ate it with my meal and not as a snack. and I did not overindulge. I was 179 last week after my gain but I got on the scale this morning and I was 177.50 again YAH!!!!!!! Very excited.

Well I am glad everyone is still getting skinnier! Keep it up!

Donna I am so very sorry to hear about your mother. I know I can't say anything to make it better but you and your family will be in my prayers. I know how hard it was when we lost my husband's brother 18 months ago. We are still dealing with it. Again you will be in my thoughts and prayers

Well If I don't get back today I will be back on tomorrow at work again! Penny

Hello ladies,

It has been awhile since I reported in. Not feeling the greatest and the eating is out of control. There is nothing anyone can say.....I am just struggling and trying to get the old 'mental' aspect of it back. What a challange!!!!!!

Eleni, as you can see I'm in the same rocky boat that you are in. I'm glad the wedding went well and that your keeping up with some of your activities. [more than I can say ]. Thank you for telling us about Donna's mother....

Donna, my thoughts and prayers are with you also. Try to take care of yourself and get lots of rest. Losing ones mother takes so much of your energy from you.....I understand. The memories of her will live on in your heart........

Penny, you did well down at the river.....YEAH for you!!!! Keep up the good work. I know what it's like to not have a phone for a few days, a big hassle!!

Sherri, I'm glad that you are watching your carb intake. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time. Managing my carbs used to be so easy for me. That 'inner voice' has really kicked into high gear...almost like it is fighting my desires!!!! Keep it going as long as you can because it really does help with the weight loss.

Marie, I can't imagine trying to pack up my house for a move. Good luck and I hope you find a nice community.

May everyone have a great start to this week and I hope there isn't too much candy left over in your homes. None came through these doors. Take care of yourselves.

TOPS Hugs,
Summer
