Hi Friends,
Hope everyone had a great long weekend. Don't know about you, but my Labor Day weekend was full of "labor." DH and I worked at cleaning up the yard after the tree-cutting of last week. He had alot of firewood to cut. I bagged the stump grindings. It was a killer in this 100+ degree weather! Not as bad as Texas, but S. LA has set record high temps all week. And no rain either.
Cal & Lily, wish you could send us some of your rain. We truly need a drencher in the south. Were you anywhere near the earthquake?
Cal: You must feel
marvelous with your near-100# loss!
What a tremendous accomplishment! I'm sure I can speak for all of us here -----
We are sooooo proud of you!! You are truly an inspiration for us to stay with it!
Lily: Congrats on the loss! Glad to hear you're on your way again. That Hawaiian vacation will be here soon. Are you packing yet?
Pam: Don't despair, you'll start losing again. You're doing all you should be, so it'll kick in soon. Your body is trying to get used to being its new size.
Geri: I loved "God's Embroidery." Thanks for sharing it. The snow sounds wonderful! Was it really
cold? You sure do impress me with your squats and bench presses!
Slavika: You made my mouth water describing that carrot cake. That's my kind of dessert! Don't think I could stop at one piece, though. Wonderful that you and DH are going back to Hawaii. Maybe now Lily won't have to take all of us. I'll wait and go with you in Feb, Slavika, K???
Countrygal: I too had a little too much "good"food this weekend. I know just how you feel being disappointed in yourself. In the past when I would do that I'd just give up. But I finally realized I'd never get to goal if I keep giving up. So after those kind of weekends, I "talk to myself", get my head straight, and just get back with the program! I'm back OP, journaling, drinking water, and will try to walk tonight when the sun goes down! You with me???
Karen: Isn't counting down fun?! I'm thrilled for you!
Well, I'd better go now. It took me a long time to get this typed!
