Just got home from the 1 mile walk. I was last again but I wasn't alone this time. One of my TOPS ladies and I went over the line together. We really had to push ourselves. Then they made it where you had to walk over 1/2 mile to where we got our shirts. Then had to walk to our cars. We are all going to write letters to see if they can make finish line where you do not have to do so much extra walking. It makes it very hard for some people. We had my hubby take a picture of us all. I will send it in to TOPS news.
I am totally wiped out now. It has been raining so pool has gotten too cool to get in. I may try to do Richard later today.
Well that's my news for the day. Hope evryone has a good weekend

Hi Eleni,

I am glad you had company crossing the finish line this year. You did great with all that walking. That is a lot of walking for sure. How do you feel about it? I know you said if you finished last again you wouldn't do it again. Do you think you will continue to do the walk every year? I think it is a great thing. It is something to look forward to. You never know maybe one day you will come in first place. I will be cheering for you lady.
It is raining here also. But it is very mild here. Very high 60's today so I can take that. It is supposed to be up to the 70's this week. I can't wait for it to stay that way. I love the heat and hate the cold.LOL Don't forget to do richard later. But with all the exercise you got in today I think you could get away with not doing it for sure. You put in your time today.
Keep up the great work. You are heading in the right direction again and you will have a great loss again this week. Keep up the exercise it is paying off.

I am back on track again today. I had to work this morning for 3 hours. I don't ever work saturdays but we need the money so I told the woman I would do it. It is the one that I just started cleaning for. I am helping her haul out her house. It is a huge job. But it will get me hours and that is a good thing.
I did my body for life exercise routine last night and I will continue so every night. I used the massager last night again and I woke up fine this morning. No pain. So I guess that is the trick to all of this. Use the massager every night and you will not have pain afterwards.LOL
My daughters fever finally broke last night. I am thankful for that. She is much better today. Just 1 dose of the antibiotic broke it. Now she can get rid of the infection in her ear.

The leader emailed me and asked me how I thought the meeting went. I told her I was disappointed with the way things went with the voting and all. But that we can't please everyone and I thought she handled everything fine. She thought it was a disaster. She did ask me to help her go through some stuff we have piled in a corner at the place. I told her I would help her no problem. She also thanked me for being Co Leader. So I don't think it will be as bad as what I thought it would be. But we didn't get anything accomplished that is for sure. This week we are going to a resteraunt for our meeting. The hospital is hosting this seminar type thing to talk to people about healthy eating and stuff like that. So that should be interesting. We will weigh in then go over there. We had 3 new members join this past week. So we are almost outgrowing our place. Which might not be a bad thing. We have to pay $30.00 a month to meet there. We should be able to find a cheaper place then that to meet to save money.


I hope you all have a great day on plan.

Summer,

How are you doing this week so far woman? Remember you can have another loss this week as well. Remember to drink your water and get off your butt as you would say. Shake what your momma gave you girl. I saw that on TV with the beaver and thought I would die. It was funny. I am shaking it also.

Hi Everyone
Not much happening here. Done a little cleaning this morn. Then my Mom and Dad took us out to eat. They took us to a Chinesse buffet. My son like chinesse. I like some of it. Hubby is starting to like it. He likes the sweet and sour chicken. I like alot of it some I don't care for. Then we went to Wal Mart. Got some material to try and make a quilt. I got what they call a cheater quilt. It is like pillow panels. But I forgot to get the material for the border. So will have to get that. My neighbor made me a set of quilting frames. He made them out of oak wood. They are really pretty. Now I just hope I can make the quilt. I figure I am getting to old to be trying something new. Oh well. Maybe I can figure it all out.
I rode the bike for 6 1/2 miles today. So I did get some excerisce in. I just need to drink more water. I can tell already my hands are swelling from the salt in the food I had today. But it also has been kinda humid here today. Had a little rain this morn. Then it cleared up.

Eleni I am so proud of you for doing that walk. But just think. You was able to finish the walk. Weather first or last you finished. And that means alot. That you could do it. And did. So keep up the good work.

Sherri Glad Megan's fever broke. I am sure that will make her feel better. Hope her ear starts getting better too. I am sure you and the new leader will be able to work things out for your group. May take a little bit. But it will work out. Good for staying OP. You are doing great. Keep up the good work.

To everyone else Hope you are doing ok. Hope you are drinking your water and writing everything down.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend. Do something for yourself.
