Hi, Turtles,
I woke up at about 3:30 and couln't get back to sleep. I finally gave up and got up about 4:15. Here's me this morning:
Welcome, Sara Jane!
It looks like you're doing really well. We're glad to have you aboard. Much congrats on the bikini. Nice to be able to show off a bit this summer, isn't it?
Lauren, your conference sounds wonderful. I'm glad you had a great time. I'm sorry you had such a difficult time and that everyone involved decided food would alleviate the stress.
But, I know you'll recover from it. Here's a
. And I'm glad everything went well in the end.
Judy, I'm sorry you all ended up with food poisoning.
I'm glad it didn't turn out to be serious. Hang in there, you're doing great.
Well, TOM finally got here. My husband's getting worried about me because I don't exercise enough. He's decided we need to walk together every day. I've been trying to get him to do that for at least a year.
So, I'm going to take him up on it. I need to exercise again. But I've been too down to do it on my own. I just brood when I'm out walking alone, and that doesn't make it appealing.
Something really cool is going on in my writing life. One of the published writers wants to start an online crit/support group that's geared toward serious writers who are writing regularly. I'm helping her set it up. (moderators do that sort of thing
) It should be a really good experience, and helpful to all of us, once we get the right mix of people.
Anyway, things are going about the same, in general here. I hope to get back on track with WW soon. Keep moving, everyone. It's the key, it really is.
Exciting!! I'll be sure to post before and after pictures when I've achieved that goal.
It's SO healthy for both of you, and if you're feeling down, exercise can often help because it releases endorphins in your brain to stimulate happiness. Also, it's great to hear that you're a writer because writing has always been something I've loved and aspired to do, so it's wonderful to meet people with common interests.
