I too haven't been doing great on the weight thing, and now I'm trying to get myself back on track. Kayaking was fun. I will be getting my own. As of monday night i got a cold. Still sick, but made it into work today. I need to make up my hours so i don't have Saturday for straight time. Nothing really going on except haven't been doing anything I should till yesterday. So hopefully I will stay on the right tack. I see some of us are struggling. We will get back.
Sherri how is it going, been missing you girl. A lot.
I've got to work Saturday, but not busy at night. let me know.
Eleni got the bingo information, just wondering do you have to do the things on the square before you can mark them off, or what?
Nita i think you are the one exercising way to goal girl.
Christie- so being on track is better than none, like i have been.
I know I will get there.
Missing you all take care

Wendy The one is your board card. Just like bingo. You have to make enough for each member. They have to have sayings all mixed up and in different places. This will take some time. The other two papers are some sayings you can use. You don't want to mark on your board so you can use them over and over. Use buttons, pieces of paper etc etc. But you have to put all the sayings on something that you can draw out to call out just like bingo. Ours are on business card size pieces of paper that is shuffled and then picked one at a time. Hope this makes sense. My people all enjoyed it

Hi Ladies
I know I havent been on here again for awhile. But it just seems like I cant get on here like I like too. Then sometimes when I do get on. I keep getting throwed off. So I thought I would try today. The Phone company has been working on the lines. Will see if that has helped any. I will go through and read the post after I get done posting. Maybe I should have done that first. Then I would know how everyone is doing. Boy today has been beautiful here. In the 70's. nice breeze. My kind of weather.
Went to weigh in last night. But didnt get to stay. Had a meeting at church. And I had to be there. Hubby lost 3/4 lb. But I gained 2 lbs. Just cant figure out why I want to nibble all the time. I am trying to get my hands busy. I havent started walking again though. I have been thinking about getting my WW points stuff out again. Maybe that will help. I think about it. But I just cant seem to do it. Does this make sense to any of you. Do any of you ever feel this way. If so how do you change your thinking. Sometimes I feel. I have had a weight problem all my life. I am just meant to be fat. But I dont like how I feel. So I know I need to do something about it. But for some reason I just cant seem to make myself get back on track. So maybe one of these days I will. Hubby has to go through some test tomorrow. Will take around 8 hours. The hospital is a 1/2 hour away. I had thought about dropping him off then coming back home. But then he wants me to eat lunch with him. So I got to thinking why go drop him off, come home go back in for lunch. come home then go pick him up. My Mom said I was crazy for even thinking about sitting in there all day. But I thought at least in there I couldnt or wouldnt be around food all day. I wouldnt have a chance to pick. Thougth I could take my cross stitch and get some of that done. There is also a pet supply store close by. Thougth I could walk there and get Sadie some food. Oh my ladies I am so sorry I hadnt releaized how much I had wrote. I better stop for now. I have missed all of you. And I think of you often. Take care.

Hi Everyone,

Well, its already 10:25 here. I have been so busy today that I just had to sit down here and relax for awhile. I woke up about 4:30 yesterday morning. I didn't need to get up until about 5 but I guess I was afraid of oversleeping and woke up earlier. I had to be at the polls by 6 A.M. to help get it set up for the election. We were supposed to close the polls at 7 PM, but about 6 PM the election office told us we had to stay open until nine, because another county couldn't get their voting machines to work properly, the whole state had to stay open until 9 PM. Everyone in my group was so tired, we didn't think we could make it until 9 PM. After we were closed, we had to get everything finished and two of us had to take it to the courthouse. It was about 10 PM before I got home. I felt like I needed a whole bottle of aspirin by then. Today, I was supposed to get the car serviced and pack for our trip. The car needed a belt replaced, then they found a screw in the tire and it had to be repaired. So, I still haven't packed. I guess we will just get a late start tomorrow.

Wendy, Hope you are feeling better. Sorry, it isn't me doing a lot of exercising (wish it was). I do good just to walk my 2 miles a day and mow the lawn once a week. The Kayaking sounds like fun and good exercise.

Eleni.....Thanks for the Bingo game. I'll work with it when I get back. Most of the women love playing Bingo. Weigh to go with the exercises, too. Sometimes we do the chair exercises as our program in the meetings.

Coco....Good to hear from you again. And we all know what you are talking about and how you feel when you know what you should do and yet we don't do it. Its a constant battle with ourselves. Our minds tells us how much healthier we would be and that we would feel better without the excess weight, but something inside us craves the food and doesn't get satisfied until we feel stuffed. I think the tendency to gain weight is in our genes, and that is one of the reasons that it is so hard to control our eating. But we CAN DO IT!! We have to set our minds on losing. Keep thinking about getting thinner, put pictures in our minds of how we want to look and feel. Put a picture on the refrigerator of a slim body and put our heads on it. WE CAN DO IT. We can lose this weight. We've done it before and we can do it again. And we can keep it off this time by learning to eat healthier. Let's do it, girls.

Better go, it's getting later and later. Didn't mean to write such a long post.
