Hi ladies,
I am going AWOL for awhile, my dad's health has taken a turn and I really can't be thinking about this right now. He had triple bi-pass heart surgery and then a pace-maker had to be put in which was supposed to give him 10 more years of life, well he has had 16 years so far however they have now discovered that half his heart isn't working properly and I feel like we don't have much time left with him. He is going to be 83 this year and I am grateful for all the extra years we have had together however I am daddy's little girl and am struggling right now coming to terms with the looming fact that I might not have him for much longer.
I wish you all well with your challenges and thank you for accepting me into you group so readily.





I love that you're out there dancing and having fun. I so wish I could dance and sing but neither of those things come naturally to me and I just can't afford lessons now. My problem is actually that I am horribly self-conscious and need to be really drunk to let go. Of course, I still can't dance, and just look all the more the fool then!
I really envy dancers. Think that to be able to do that would just be the greatest.
Thanks for the congrats on my jogging too. I have taken the day off work to work on a story and am sitting here writing this instead! This will not do!
I have to get going as deadline is here! I would love to go to the gym as well and get in some more gung-ho exercise though. It really helps me feel great (though tired) to attack the weights and run and run....wish me luck, please!
You've been going strong on the early rising challenge too, so just get back on track. You can do it. Just think of how every moment out of bed earlier can help you keep those engines stoked and metabolism revved. Sorry to hear about your fall. Ouch! That sounds like it really hurts. What a bruise! How far did you fall? I know some people bruise more easily than others. I never do. Hope you feel better soon! And I hope the bruised area doesn't develop into anything. I once fell on the icey sidewalk when I was a teenager and developed a very painful abscess right at my tailbone. If you start feeling sickish and developing a fever, your body may be fighting infection. Hope you're ok!
Sounds like fun. Great going on abstaining from the holey food. You're a strong woman!
Great to hear you're going to a concert. I know who Mariah Carey is of course but not Sean Paul. I am a hard rock fanatic. But, I hope you enjoy it and can make your goal. How many pounds do you need to burn off by then! You can do it! Good luck and I hope to hear from you more!
Good to hear from you! Sorry to hear about those grueling days and hope you'll be able to join us. I miss our old regulars, I mean, our regulars from yore, not that you're old! 
I didn't say anything about liking anyone better.

Level 3
I KNEW she liked the old wrinklies best 
Even got to the gym again yesterday, did another 5K jog (with walking periods) and a bit of weight training. Hurrah for me! 
Momo says hi.
Others? Newbies?
But, I'm sure you'll be able to knock that extra bit off once you're back and in your regular routine. Good luck and hope to see you pop in regularly! Always good for a bit of sunshine.
We could limit subject matter to our knitting, our health, and of course how dissipated young people are today..
