GOOD MORNING LADIES!!!! RISE AND SHINE!!!

Shake that body and keep those beautiful heads held high! We are WOMEN!

Well. tonight is weigh in for me, but not sure if I can make it tonight. Things are crazy here and I won't be able to weigh-in in two weeks if I am out of leeway. It is too scarey knowing that I would only have one week to rectify myself. This Sat we are having a 'mini recognition' for our State Royalty and Division winners. States that host IRD do not have an SRD so those winners don't get the special recognition they normally do.....so my KOPS Honor Society will be hosting this get together. I will be going to it - 130 mi from here. Looking forward to some renewed inspiration.

Sheri, Thank you for the welcome back. You are one special lady. Do not worry about not being on here....I totally know what it is like to be busy....and sometime just getting on line is one more stresser that we don't need to deal with. You are doing WONDERFUL with Curves and now buying a workout machine. You are one gung-ho lady!!!! Oh, my 20# turkey was great and I look forward to making turkey-noodle soup for the family to eat while I am gone this weekend. Love smelling those bones as they simmer!! OK, now, it's time for you to reel in the eating......come on,.......we can and WILL DO IT!

Nita, It is nice that you have a KOPS d-i-l. At least the meal was healthy and that the cheesecake was the only 'bad' thing. Bet it was good though! Congratulations on walking it off!

Eleni, Hope your weekend went well. I am proud of your physical activity also. Keep it up, sis!

Wendy, WHOA----shake it off and restart your healthier habits. We all have days like that.....by no means are you alone. Take some deep breathes and get back on that horse. I'm cheering you on.......RAH! RAH! RAH!!!!!!!

Coco.............OK, here is your KICK IN THE BUTT!!! Get back on track and you will continue to do fine

Crazy4carbs, good luck on your weigh in!!! You and I share the same meeting day.....and boy, can I relate to your name!!! LOLOLOL!!!!!

omi2_3, Welcome to this sight. These ladies are the best....just like family.

To everyone else, have a great Wed and you know I am thinking of you all. Enjoy the beautiful weather that is springing up and get out doors and do something that will make you healthier. WE DESERVE IT!!!!! Don't forget your water bottles and sun screen! LOL!

We had a meeting on last monday, another one today, cuz of everything that went on. This meeting is a 1:30 today.
I'm back on track with the eating doing well yesterday. I still need to get the gazelle out. That part has been weigh down. I need all the kicks in the butt I can get. However, I am asking that all of you that would say an extended prayer today, around 1:30. I don't have a home church, but almost called the place that I want to go to yesterday. I almost also asked this guy at work for some advice. He is a rev. works here part time. I have to cut it short. But want to tell you guys about a site. Zonya.com
We print her books here at work. And she has done some classes here a long time ago. Thought some of you might be interested in her books, and cook books. Talk back later

Hello all you BEAUTIFUL Ladies! , Boy, I am glad to be back!

I am sorry to have been away so long but I have been having one helluva time. I have told you all about my best friend, Well, her husband has decided he wants a divorce. Just like that. No warning, just pass the peas, and by the way I want out. Men can be such utter ******s sometimes.

I have been burning up the roads (7 hour drive to her house) and the phone lines. , To make a long story short, she is going to be OK. Finacially she is good as she has an excellent job and doesn't need a nickel from his Nibs. All the toys are now sold (5th wheel, new truck, quads, boat etc) and the house has a fresh coat of paint and is on the market. I am no longer afraid that she will have a nervous breakdown, but I am still incredibly worried about her. I will probably head up again next weekend.

Plus my mom is having some "minor" health problems, but of course I refuse to believe they are minor until I see for myself. Last time she told me her foot was a "little" swollen it was swollen to 3 times its normal size, plus her entire leg was swollen and she ended up having a kidney operation. So I am flying home first week in Jul. just to make sure......

I got the loveliest of suprises when I got home on Sunday tho. Eleni, you know what it was!

Eleni sent me a georgeous "Bee" mug to mark my 100 lbs! What a pick me up that was!! Thank you so much Eleni, it seems like all I am doing lately is caring for and worring about others and it was so nice to know someone else was thinking about me. Big Hug to you!!!!!!!!

I am now 4 lbs away from the big 100 tho. Sorry ladies, I have been a little stressed and let myself have a chocolate binge, plus the "on the road" food, must say that while I regret turning to food for comfort, I dont regret eating the chocolate! It has been almost a year since I have lost control and I have the tiger by the tail again. I hope to be there by the end of June. I bought a pair of Gap jeans that are too tight to wear out of the house as an enticement.

Well I have written a novella here. I won't be around much as I want to get up to see Carol, and I have "Relay for Life" Cancer marathon this weekend and am re landscaping my yard, the bobcat work should be done tommorow, so I will be a busy "Bee"!
But it really is up to me!

Take care everyone and know that I am sending you all the biggest batch of Summer's

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{vibes}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

to each and every one of you!!

Hey, CC, IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK!!!!! Been worried about you.

Your girlfriend is lucky to have you as a support. What a friend you are!!!! Thankfully, she will be fine financially. When I read your word 'utterly' in regards to her husband, all I could think of was "udderly' and cracked up. After all, lots of times when men go through their mid life turmoil, 'udders' are the cause!! LOLOLOLOLOL! [see, I'm cracking up again].

I didn't realize that you had made the 100# mark!! CONGRATS............now put all that chocolate behind you [no, NOT on your behind!!!!!......geesh, I'm cracking up again..........what's in my coffee????!!!!!!!!] and get those few pounds back off. Are you still doing the Body for Life stuff? Isn't that Bee mug adorable????? Eleni has a special way of surprising people! Let us know when you reach that 100# milestone again and try to stay under it if you can. I'm here cheering you on..........GO CC, GO CC, GOOOOOOOOO CC!!!! WOO-HOO!!!!! [shakin' those pom-pom's]

Hope your mom is OK. Have fun with the marathon and keep being the wonderful person you are. {{{{{{{{{{VIBERATO's}}}}}}}}}}

Summer,

I hope you enjoy your mini recognition this saturday. Sounds like it will be a lot of fun for you. I hope it gets you inspired. Thanks for the card. I started counting points again today to go along with all the exercise. I am up from over the weekend with all my bad eating. But hopefully I can pull off a turtle to keep my traveling gift this week. I don't want to lose it.LOL But I am doing much better with the eating thank god. I hope I can keep it that way for awhile.
You are always a busy lady. I am so glad you got your internet problems worked out. But not as glad as you are I am sure. Keep up the great work. What are you doing for exercise lately? Have you tried the tapes yet? Remember just because our elbows bend doesn't mean we have to open our mouth. I have to remember that one also.

Wendy,

So how did things go today with your meeting? I hope everything will work out for you guys. I am praying for you girl. Here is your kick in the butt girl. Get the gazelle out and dust it off and start putting it to great use.
You are doing great. I knew you could get back on track. Keep up the great work.

Coco,

I have missed chatting with you girl. How is everything going with you? You still losing? I am sure you are. Keep it up. Did you get back on track after the holiday weekend also? We all need a good kick in the butt for that one. You are doing great. You have what it takes to make it and you will. I am behind you 100%.

CC,

You are truly amazing girl. I can't believe you have lost sooooooo much weight it is great. You can throw away the choc. and start over again. Don't let the choc stand in your way to getting to goal. You are so close now.
Sorry to hear about your friends marriage. You are a great friend to her sticking by her like that.
You keep up the great work. I hope your mom is better soon. I hope it isn't anything major.
Have a great time at the marathon. Let us know how you do.

Crazy4carbs,

I like summer can relate to your name as well. Carbs are my downfall for sure. You are doing great with your walking keep it up.

Omi2_3,

Just wanted to say welcome. I started back counting points today also. Welcome aboard. This is a great group of people here. Keep up the great work.

I have to go finish dinner. I did great with points today. I worked out at 12:30 at curves. I am going back again tonight for another workout. I have to have a turtle tomorrow so I don't lose my traveling gift.

I also made a weight chart today with the months and dates and the weight I am down every lb to my goal weight. I am going to keep the graph and mark my losses on it. So I can see my progress. I hope this helps. Just something new to do to keep me motivated I hope.LOL

Have a great night everyone.
