Greetings,
We needed a new thread since the other was getting lengthy.

Don't you wish that we were all with Laura! I've never been to Rome--hey--I've never been to Europe. It sounds like she's having a ball.

Tammy, how was your meeting?

Tonight, I'm lost without a husband snoring in the chair. He called when he arrive at his dad's house. He had a good trip with good weather. It's not like he'll be gone a week or anything. He'll be home Sunday night. I just want to complain.

Everyone have a great weekend.

Everyone post.
Tina

It's Saturday!
I made it through the night alone (except for my "watch cat.")
Y'all probably get sick & tired of hearing me complain about not exercising. Guess what.....I just finished cleaning house. It took 2 hrs. and I'm hot, sweaty and very hungry. Yea!!!

This is good!
Our leader had this on the board:
"Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want."

Have a great weekend.

Hi all!
My meeting was great the other night. Lots of talking, laughter, and tears. I have another Emmaus get-together tonight.

My brother, SIL, and their boys are coming here about 4;00. We're having pizza, and then we will be finalizing our Michigan plans. We are leaving at 7:30 in the morning. We will return sometime Friday.

Tim and I took Kramer to the Doggy Hotel this morning. Hated to leave him, but I know he'll be fine.

Hoping to get plenty of walking in this week and watch the eating more than I did at Disney World!
What a pig I was!!!!

Tina, I hope you and the watch cat get along OK.

Tammy,
have a great trip, we'll miss you!

Where is everybody? I know you're out there reading the thread.

Had a good day. We took our car in to the shop. I have an Escort rent car. I need to put some popouri in it to get that funny smell out. Why do rent cars all smell weird?

Tina

Hey Strangers!!!

I forgot to check in the last few days. Duh!!!!!!

Hope everyone is doing good. I haven't done anything too exciting. Just the same ole things.

My husband is out of town too. He'll be home Friday night late. I think I going to visit my brother on Saturday. He lives about 2 1/2 hrs. away.

My food has been really good but I haven't lost. Actually gained .4 this week. This is when I have given up in the past. I hit the 10 pound plateau. I hope it doesn't stick around too long. I want to make it to goal and plan on it.

Susan

Hi All,
We are a quiet bunch right now.

Susan, have a good trip to see your brother.

I bet Tammy is having fun.

Laura, Linda, Dee, everyone........have a great weekend.

Hi all! We pulled in our driveway about 6:00 tonight. Left Mackinaw City, Michigan about 9;00 this morning. We made 4 small stops (2 sandwich stops, 1 potty stop, and 1 to get Kramer from the Doggy Hotel). We made great time. There were a few construction areas, but nothing that had traffic backed up.

I love it up there. I guess that's why we go so often. (every year or two) We've already decided that we'll probably go somewhere else next summer, but you never can tell.

I did great on the food and water except for one meal and I felt miserable afterwards. It was a buffet and we all got our money's worth. We went to play putt-putt golf afterwards. It is so hard to bend over when you feel miserable.

Needless to say, I didn't get weighed this week. I'll wait until next Thursday and see what damage was done on the trip. Can't be as bad as when I went to Disney though!!!!

Howdy,

Glad you are back Tammy! It sounds like you had a lot of fun! I hate that miserable feeling from over eating. Buffets kill me.......

Tina, did you get your car back? What's wrong with it ...... did you tell or did I just forget?

We are a very quiet bunch lately.

I ran by school today to chat with my principal. I have to go to a 3 day workshop next week and will be presenting. He said, wow you look great and you're not limping!!! I don't know which part I was more pleased with.

My knee is doing great. I'm being very careful. I'm exercising on my bike. I have to admit, I didn't do it for 2 days. I got on it today!!!

Susan

Hi,
Tammy, welcome back. I'm glad you had such a great time. How is Kramer? Was he traumatized?

Susan, our car is still in the shop. I was hoping Larry would call them today but he was swamped at work. The car is in for repair after that woman in a Mercedez ran into my back end while I sat at a stop light! The estimate said it'd just take 3 days to fix. They must've found more damage under the car.

Hey, I only had one Diet Coke today!!!!!

Take it easy everyone.

Tina

Tina,
I wondered if it was in the shop for that very reason. Hopefully you will get it back soon with everything fixed.

I can't believe that I'm still awake and not even the slightest bit sleepy. Guess I'll go read my book, then I know for sure I'll fall asleep!

Susan

Hi Susan,
Well, I am sleepy and can't believe I'm sitting at this computer after working at one all morning.

Do you have any plans for tomorrow? Is your husband still out of town?
Tina

Tina,

He got back yesterday about 1:00. I met him for lunch and then switched cars with him. His band was playing last night so he came in around 3:00 am. I'm running over to my brother's for the night in Kilgore. It's about 2 1/2 hours away. Guess I'll see him (hubby) on Sunday.

I stayed up and watched tv. Of course nothing was on. Read a little until I got sleepy.

Have a great weekend. I'll post again tomorrow when I get home.

Susan

Whoah

Group, what is going on?
No one is posting anything--including me.

I've had a busy few days and I imagine everyone else has since no one is saying anything.

Today I start an online course on Desktop Publishing offered by Barnes & Noble University. Yes, the book store has an online school. The courses are free. You must buy the books-that's the catch. I was "urged" to improve my knowledge by taking this course. There are 3 books used. It looks interesting.
I'll be so busy studying that I won't think about food.

What's up with y'all?

Well, I'm here!!!

I've had to work the last couple of days. School starts next Thursday. Kids start on the 20th. Can't believe it is time already!!!!

Tina, that's great about your class! A couple of years ago, I went back to school to work on my Master's only to improve myself and it was a personal goal. I succeeded last August!!! I was so proud of myself!! I love learning!!!

Hope everyone is doing good and enjoying their time!! Please post soon, we miss you guys!!!!
