Bringing us to the top!

Hello Ladies -

Guess everyone was busy this weekend. I went into the office both saturday and sunday. We're moving offices next week and I had to get my office packed.

Hope to hear from someone soon.....

Hi Ladies,
I know it's been quite some time since I have posted. I apologize for that. Going to therapy three times a week sure does take a lot of time. They keep me there usually 1-1/2 hours, however, I do believe it is working! I only have occasional cramping in my legs. I am also going to WW and have lost an average of 1 lb. per for the last 4 weeks.

I am still bowling 4 times a week and also working one day a week and also doing some work for the attorneys at home. The internet sure is a great invention.

Hope you all are doing well.

Take care,
Anita

Hello Ladies -

Where did this week go? I hadn't posted since last weekend. Last week I fell down and hurt my right hand, it was mainly my thumb and palm. I never realized how much we use our thumb. It took me longer to get ready for work, to open up things. I only worked out one day this week, my trainer was out sick 2 days which for me turned out good. It was a very hetic week. Tomorrow it's back to my morning workouts. House is a mess, need to get ready for thanksgiving day. I think i'm having it at my house, unless my sister decides to have it.

Mooz - Glad to hear your blood pressure was down when you took it, AND WTG on your 6 lb loss. Sounds like the kids are really traveling. Will they all be home for the Christmas Holidays?

Nita - I"m glad the physical theraphy is helping with your leg cramps. WTG on your 4 lb loss. How is Gene doing?

Guess I've been remiss like others.

I did talk to the person in charge at the Church about doing the First Place, so I think that will go.

Bought You on a Diet--has anyone read this?

I have more poems if anyone would like to PM me.

WTG those who are exercising and keeping the BP down. Hoorayk!

Hi everyone,
Sorry to be so remiss in posting. I was sure I had told you that I was going to be away from the 'net for a period of time since I was driving to Townsville and setting up for the next six months up here. Kitty didn't come with me in the end. She is with the DS2 and is apparently settling in okay - well sort of.

So I am back at work in Townsville. I now have the net on so I can post again. It is good to see people posting here again.

No weight off for me this month. Everything is about the same. Nothing seems to work too well anymore (as far as dieting goes) I'm trying to exercise regularly in the mornings - it gets too hot if I don't do it then and I have no inclination to do it at night time. I'm looking into gyms at the moment. I need to go back to one I think.

Hope everything is going well for you all.

Hello Ladies -

Thin - Glad the new pill is helping with your blood pressure. I'm sure with the headaches and feeling yuckie, who wants to think about exercising. Like you said once you get to feeling better, you have those new sneakers to break in.

Cat - I just bought the book. I really like reading how our bodies work. Let us know how the First place goes.

Shad - good to hear from you. I didn't remember reading about you being out of town, but I figured that's where you were. I have 2 weeks before my next weigh in and i'm going to start my eating healthy after this weekend.

It's going on three months for me with this exercise program and last month I gained 1 lb but lost some inches. I know I have got to start eating healthy. Sugar will be the hardest for me to quite, but I know I can do it. This week I exercised 3 straight days with the thought of Thanksgiving coming up. Luckily for me we're dining out, so I know I won't eat as much as if I were eating at home.

Wishing everyone a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
I'm so thankful for what God has given me, my family, health, friends. I'm thankful for this site and for you all in being in my life, you give me the support and encouragement that I need.

Patty,
Happy Birthday. Hope you have a wonderful day and that you get everything you wish for.

Gosh, I have been away. However, I felt I did pretty well for Thanksgiving. I feel bad it seems Thanksgiving is so swallowed up in Christmas.

Mooz, do you have Harvest Home, or is that English only?

Patty~~ Happy Birthday!!!

Good Evening from Phoenix, AZ

I, too, have been absent from posting. Time sure does fly even when you are not always having fun. Since we have no family here I just fixed two steaks on the grill. However, the next day I felt guilty and brought home a turkey breast that Safeway had prepared, some mashed potatoes and cornbread dressing. Gene really did enjoy our Friday meal. Gene is still housebound but his blood pressure is doing much better. The low number finally got to 67 today. It had been anywhere from 45 to 55 just a few weeks ago.

I lost a whole 1/4 lb. this week but the WW Leader said it was awesome to lose anything around Thanksgiving. I am still in the process of finding someone to watch over Gene so I can visit my children back in Ohio and PA. It's almost 2 years since I have seen them. Sometimes I get rather depressed and wonder if I will ever get a chance to see them again!

Well tomorrow it is back to the basics, therapy, chair yoga and healthy eating! Mooz -- a special CONGRATS on losing 6 lbs. That is really terrific. And I do agree with you we just need to give up some of those goodies we think our bodies need. We finally have some large oranges on our tree and I make an effort to eat at least one a day! They taste so much better than the ones from the grocery store.

I am going to try and post more often because I do believe it gets me going to make better choices knowing you guys are doing the same1

Take care,
Anita
I am only going to try this one more time. It seems they will not let me post because they say I haven't signed in but I have. Luckily I saved my first message!!!

Good Morning Ladies,

Just got back from my morning workout. She weighed me in early for this month, I was very hesistant on weighing in after thanksgiving weekend, BUT I did and lost 2.5 lbs this month. I also lost about 2 more inches. I was not able to write everything down as she had someone else waiting to get weighed.

Thank you for the birthday wishes. Saturday night the whole family got together and celebrated and yesterday was busy running around. I'm actually taking today off and going to get a massage and hopefully clean out a closet or two.
