good morning all, I got up at 2am to potty and could not go back to sleep so here I am.Have been reading over the posts.We have had a lot of new folks dropping by.Just want to say hello.And yes we usually start a new post each day.So if you read all the ones marked today you can tell where we are.Of course you can reply to any thread you see. At the top of the page you will see a few things that are always there.The thread that says tops explains tops on first page.Then the bio's are good to read.I just updated mine.
This board is sometimes slow sometimes busier.Even those of us that get busy or lazy about posting are always lurking around and will jump in when we see someone needs something. It is a good and caring group.A good example of what TOPS is suppose to be.
A lot of the "regulars" stray away from time to time. Shame on us. A lot of time when people are struggling they think it will put a damper on threads so they stay away.And that is when we need to post the most.Just like not staying away from a meeting when we have a gain.
Hotcupojava Congrats on your loss.Great job.
Susie Your massage sounds great.I have never had one but always wanted to.Just too embarrased to go I guess.
And speaking of being embarrassed.I am going to suck it up and go to an aquatic exercise class starting tomorrow. Good thing about it is I will probably be one of youngest there.And I am an old grandma myself.But in Florida anything like that that you go to in Am usually has people 70 and up.But that doesn't bother me.Wearing a bathing suit where someone can see me is not good. But it will force me to get out of house and it will be good for me. I don't have to sign a contract so I can quit at anytime if it is too hard for me.
My pool is empty now but Bill is putting in a new liner this weekend.Then I can swim when I am up to it. Plus I can do stuff I learn at class at home. I am going to try it anyway.
SRD will soon be here.I always look forward to it.Altho it will be a long couple of days for me.At least I don't have a large group to keep up with this year.Only 5 of us this year.Makes it easier for me.
Ok I think I will go back to bed and see if I can sleep. It is no fun getting old but it does beat the alternative
Christie How are you??????

Hello,
I weighed in last night for the YMCA 6-week fitness challenge, their scales are right in line with the TOPS scales. I think it will be a good challenge for me to be in because with knowing I have to weighin on Monday and Thursday's there's not a lot of time to cheat in between. Also, for the Y challenge I have to turn in a weekly food diary and exercise log. They have a lot of cool prizes up for grap and I hope to win one. They also took our measurements and caculated our body fat, and that will be recorded at the end of the challenge as well. I'm pretty excited about it, can you tell?

I've been making time to journal again. I feel so much more balanced when I do that.

Eleni: I enjoyed reading your early morning post and I really want to encourge you to try the water aerobics class. Please post and tell us what you thought.

HotCup: Great job on the weight loss...doesn't it feel great?

Time for me to get to work ladies. Have a good day..stay on plan, move your body a little, smile and think about how nice it is that you are taking care of yourself.

Susie

Susie said...."I've been making time to journal again." I just in the past week found a free diary to download. It's a good one and it's free. Sometimes...heck...all the time... I like to write things I don't want grand children and hubby to see and this diary has a password and I can write what ever I want too. If anyone would like the link, I would be glad to send a private message and give you the link. Belle

You are not going to believe what a morning I had. I can laugh about it now but it wasn't funny then. I was bound and determined I was going to try the water class no matter what.Well it ended up being no matter what. I have some bad luck sometimes. I put my bathing suit on and was about to go out door when I decided to see what suit looked like from back.Thank goodness I did.The butt area was almost wore out. OOPS OOPS. So I had a new one that was a little tight and was going to wait to wear it but had no choice.I thought No big deal. Or so I thought. The bottom part of the bathing suit was sewn in wrong side out. Can you believe that. I said to **** with it.I was not going to cancel going. I wore it anyway. I have to go get another suit tonight. I can wear this one in my pool when Bill gets it fixed.
The only problem I had was pool room got too warm a few times.She turned air on a few times and that helped. AND!!!! 10 minutes before the end of class I had to go to the bathroom sooooooo bad. But with bathing suit fiasco and heat and full bladder it still went well and I will go back. I will be better prepared Thursday. It was an adventure. Now I am going to go take a nap as I did not sleep well last night.

Eleni: I'm laughing so hard! You really made me smile. I'm glad you had a good attitude about it. I have a lot of bladder issues due to my IC and I'm not sure I would have survived with a full bladder, and so forth.

I am here MOM
Not online like I should be...but I am here
The bathingsuit thing made my morning You are a trooper that is for sure, Keep up the great work and awsome attitude, I am so glad to here that you are feeling better and know I think of you and pray for you often
