Good evening,
It's been a full day for me. I went to the planning meeting for theTOPS walk that our area captian is trying to get going. It was a lot of fun to start the planning and we have a date and place in mind. We should be able to find out this week if the date is available at the park we choose, and then we will be able to move forward with it.

After the meeting I met a friend who lives in the area that we were in for the meeting and she and I had lunch at O'Charlies. Then we went over to the Mall for a look around. I bought some really cute note cards at Michaels (and they were only a $1.00 for the packs!). Also bought some cute post-earrings to wear in my ears when I'm not wearing earrings that go with an outfit. I needed something for just whenever. They are "diamonds" in the shape of a triangle. I also bought some new lotion at Bath and Body. It's called Ylang-Ylang Myrrh. It says it's "Sensuality" soothing body lotion. It smells so good and it does seem to have a calming effect. It felt nice to "pamper" myself. It reminds me of the lotions they used when I had my massage.

I did pretty good with the food and water all day. Only had one "sugar" snack and that was some cookies and milk. I had them after dinner. I thought about having them when I got home from my trip. I was really tired and when I get tired I associate it with being "hungry". So I told myself to lie down and take a nap and if I wanted the cookies when I woke up I could have them. I didn't want them until after dinner, so I feel that's a step in the right direction again.

Tomorrow is a new month lady. Feels like a new beginning to me? What about you? I'm setting a new goal for myself. My new weight goal will be to be at 229 by June 7, (my 40th b-day). Also, May is going to be my "Kick off to Summer Sensuality". I LOVE summer and I want to be ready for it. I want to look good...feel good...feel sensual. So that's my focus this next month.

Anyone else have a plan?

Ladies, I'm going to go put on my new lotion, brush my teeth, wash my face and get into bed with some of my magazines and relax and fall asleep.

Good night.

Susie

Hi Susie.... I also resetting some goals, MY 57th bd is July 1.... would love to lose 15 lb before I head to Lake George for some down time over the 4th of July.... Cant say I have been doing so great the last couple of weeks..... but will sure give it my best and good luck to ... Indiacatz

Can't remember if I posted my 2.5 lost from Monday's TOPS Meeting, or not. It doesn't put me back beyond my 3 pound gain of last week. But I can't look back. I was actually a bit suprised that I didn't lose more because I was pretty good this week with exercise, food AND water, but "thems da breaks." Keep looking forward. We started another new contest this week. I love the fun and competition. There was talk of TOPS charm bracelets and I'm really excited about that. I feel silly getting excited about trinkets and games, but hey, if it's what motivates me then I'm all for it.

Today is my "Monday" and my email isn't working so good in here. But at least 3FC (my saving grace) is working. Don't know what I'd do without this web site. Hope you all enjoy your Tuesday evening. I'm hoping I can make myself take the garbage out before I change out of my uniform and then get some exercise before bed (since my back was too sore this morning to do much at all except check my email and take a shower). Go Turtle GO! I want to do a WATP tape, dreadmill or maybe a Tai Chi tape. Or HEY all of the above. It would be nice if I could. But I guess I'll find out when I get home.

Get ready.... Hump Day is on it's way!!
