Coco,

Way to go over the weekend. That is great that you kept your eating under control. I am sure it will pay off at weigh in tonight. Sounds like you had a busy weekend. Keep going girl you are doing great.

Wendy,

You are doing great as well. The scales will be good to you tonight as well. How are your hands doing today? Did the braces help at all?

I went yardsaling over the weekend and got a real nice costume for megan. It is a unicorn. The woman paid 30.00 for it and I got it for 10.00. It is all plush and really nice. It fits her perfect. Then got a lot of baby clothes for a friend of mine also.
Not much else going on. The scale is up for me right now. I am drinking some tea. Still have the pains in the stomach I am dealing with. But other then that all is quiet here. My husband built a tire swing for megan and we put it up yesterday. She loves it. He has to put braces on it because it wiggles but other then that it goes round and round very fast or from side to side. I got on it with her yesterday and I was so sick from being so dizzy.LOL But it was fun. I won't be getting back on that thing again. I will leave it up to her.
Have to get to work so I will check back in later.

Have a great day all. I am going to try and get here more. I just have been feeling lousy lately so I haven't been doing much. Didn't even work last week because of it. But I am back to the grind stone again today.

Summer, Christie, Eleni, Penny, Nita how you all doing?

Sherri

Hello all. Nice to hear that everyone has their eating under control. Don't you all find that summer is very hard and that things generally seem easier in the fall? Maybe because we get back into a routine or something.

This past weekend we went to our condo in the mountains (about 3 hours from Calgary, in Radium British Columbia) with friends. We didn't have the time or inclination to cook, so we ate out every meal except breakfast. I did bring a fresh homemade apple pie. Doesn't sound like the formula for a weight loss this week, does it?

There was a car show with about 500 restored automobiles of every make,year, colour and description. The men were interested in the cars they had when they were young, and with what was under the hood, and we ladies loved the beautiful colors and detailing and decorations. For instance a very old Model T type (you know it was probably originally black with a black interior) perfectly restored, painted mauve, with cream leather seats with purple piping, little mauve dice on the antenna and door locks, and fuzzy purple dice hanging from the rear view mirror. Didn't impress the boys, but Joan and I sure liked it!!

Sherri, sounds like you got a good deal on the unicorn costume. Megan will love it! Keep up the good work at curves, and with your eating. You are doing great!

Wendy, the bingo contest is in the mail to you. Hope you can use it in your chapter, with good results. My daughter is getting into kayaking too, and she really likes it. She lives in Vancouver.

Eleni, you sound like you are getting back on track too. Good for you for not giving up! I ordered the chair dancing video last week. I hope it doesn't take long to arrive. I am looking forward to doing it when my knees hurt too much to walk. On Friday I was feeling good, so I did an hour on the mini trampoline (rebounder). The music I use is "Hooked on Classics" -- it has a really nice beat for doing this kind of exercise, and each medley lasts about 5 minutes. Some are faster and some are slower so you can catch your breath again!! LOL. The CDs are very old. I don't think you can get them anymore, or I would get more for variety. I have a treadmill, but sometimes enjoy the rebounder more. All weekend my hips were sore, so I guess I overdid it!

Coco - I had to laugh at your comment about "keep your chins up", thinking we probably have more than one each. I know you were speaking to us collectively, but I thought it was a good comment just for me!!!

Hi all........... I know I've been MIA, but I have been very busy and the computer is the last on my list.

Oh, just have to tell ya all since this is the first day of Fall that we had 5 inches of snow on the cars and grass last Wed morning. Our lows are in the low 20's and so far 20 has been the lowest! BRRRR!! Glad we got some wood in, but do need more. Even though I'm not a skier and am not crazy about the snow hanging around for months on end, we really do need it. Colorado has been one of the worst drought ridden states this year.

My eating has not been good. I just can't seem to get it together.

OUCH!!!! Sherri, STOP THAT, Ok don't........I really do need my head bashed in. [ha-ha]. Have until Wed to come up with a loss of some kind. MUST DO IT!!!!!! Here comes your kick and I took the nail file to my toenails, so you should really feel the points now! LOLOLOL!

Eleni, thanks for the jingle. I was running my errands while the nurse was here. Hope you're doing well.

Wendy, I hope the TOPS scale shows the loss that yours is. Good going!!!! How far are you from Detroit????? That's where I grew up.


Liz, I loved your auto story. Growing up in Detroit [the Motor City] was great when it came to knowing about cars. We would go to the factory every year to sneak a peek at the new models when I was little. Back then, it was a lot easier to pick out the makes and years..........now they all look alike! My brother is into car restorations........especially Corvettes and the 60's Chev's. Your condo sounds like it is in a beautiful spot. I have a cousin in the Calgary area........all my relatives are from Ontario.

Coco, glad to hear your doing fine. I should have made myself a note about your post. GEESH, my memory just keeps getting worse and worse. Naw, being busy and stressed has nothing to do with it, right???? lol

Now that you all know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I can relax a bit. [Sometimes I wish I could tumble away.] I've been thinking of you all and wishing everyone 'happy losses'!

Will let you all know how Wed weigh in goes. Have a great Tuesday cause I don't think too many more will be on the thread this evening.

TOPS to all!
Summer
