Wow, I just typed a lengthy post to this thread and then I lost it. Billblueeyes did suggest that I cut and paste to a scrath pad along the way. Lesson learned.
Silverbirch - great application of the Blackberry.
Shepherdess - I am in Vancouver BC. I have been to Blaine and to Birch Bay quite a few times. I have driven through Bellingham on the way to Seattle. Unfortunately I do not go to Seattle very often (it has been years). You live in a lovely area with some great cycling (LaConnor, Anacortes etc). Thank you for the suggestions on the stir fry
Somebody asked about the experience in the bar during the women's gold medal hockey game. Well, through a bunch of puckheads in an establishment, toss in some beer and a bunch of televisions with an important game on and you have a recipe for alot of energy. My food and drink experiences in the bar were successful in that I did not binge. That is a major triumph for me. I was not successful at sticking the the Think Thin plan but I think that a binge was averted because I read the Advantage Cards and REsistance Cards before I left. This morning I revisited them, made a food plan for the day and read the cheat sheet messages to myself and I am comfortable that I am on the right track.
Kislibrarylady – I truly believe that Y’s offer you the opportunity to feel connected to yourself and something bigger (the community). I hope that you enjoy it and able to give it the time to fully experience the connectedness
Midlifecrisis – how did you prepare the spag squash?
Onebyone- you Rock!
Futurefitchick – I am giggling at your treadmill avatar (it is an avatar isn’t it!)
Beverlyjoy- great Resistance techniques.
Gardenerjoy – impressive stats
Maryblu – I have read that quote you posted 4 times…it is very good, now, to have the ability to really “see it when I read it” when I am losing perspective and about to eat uncontrollably.
Over and out. I have not reread this for typos etc.
