See this IS getting easier, smiling

Isn't this great - we are all back together again - still some missing but hope they will reappear soon. I've pulled up my socks along with you and Sharon and am off to the races - well almost, just have one dinner party on Tuesday night to get through (we'll set a place for you Karen, and celebrate your birthday). Am having a 30th Wedding Anniversary dinner for some friends. Am drinking a lot of water today and eating healthy. Have a fun day. Love and Hugs, Shirley

Shirley, Great to have you pulling on those socks too, sweetie....we are going to do it, and we ARE going to be healthier, more vibrant, energetic woman...I know I am 200% more energetic and healthier than I was in the beginning...smiling.. Thanks for the place setting for me...and Congrats to your dear friends who are celebrating such a glorious milestone...rah rah rah...may they have another 30 as well...

After yesterdays fiasco, I am feeling more determined than ever....I am no longer doing the Bingo's at the Center...with working full time starting Aug 1st I don't want to tax my self too much..and it was clear to me that my being there at the Bingo's unfortunately, made a couple of elderly sweeties, fearful and anxious that I was there to REPLACE them..just not the case...smiling...and I feel good about this decision.....

You will do awesome with your dinner party kiddo, as you are in control of the menu..and with it being summer the fresh fruits and veggies are so beautiful ..smiling..

Have a great Sunday, and I'm right there with you on the water and healthy eating...and for IE I will do my 2 mile walk...Hugs and Love, Karen

sharon/gueenb - hard times

well hello to all it has been a tough summer and I so missed the boards they were where I went for help and support. As some of you know my dad has been diagnosed with cancer and now it is just a matter of time.My heart is breaking and though we didn't see eye to eye while I was growing up I love him and it is killing me. He has been my dad for 49 years and it is so hard to see him waste away.Thank you Rose and karen and all who have emailed me,My heart is breaking and I don't know what to do.We just got back from Geogia where bills sister who was 46 died of cancer and I thought that was hard but this is hard also.I just want to go to bed and never wake up. But I won't I have to buck up and be strong for my mom,She finally got him to go to the doctor but then it was to late I drove them to the hospital and stayed with them the next morning the doctor delivered his bad news and sent us home the hospice people are so caring and are trying to get us through this but it is so hard and heart breaking thank you all for caring. I have missed each and every one of you hugs sharon/queenb

Sharon, I'm so sorry about your dad. I lost my dad in 2002 and it is still with me. My fondest memory near the end was holding my dad's hand for hours at a time. My heart and thoughts are with you during this sad time.

HI KAREN,

Hi girlfriend,

It made it really difficult not having everyones email addies...a lot of us hung in together that way...unfortunately for you and a few others , you got left High and dry so to speak...without this to fall back on....well, we are here now and that's what counts right..and you got away with dear hubby for the weekend../How cool is that...or maybe hot is that..winking...

I did well initially after the boards went down, but yesterday fell out of my plan...back on it again today though...I had gained 15 pounds a few weeks ago, and have re-lost 9 of them...so it will eventually all be off again...

How has your new lifestyle been? Are you managing your exercise, water and healthy choices? Right thinking...smiling..so many neat things to work on eh? lol..

Have a great day sweetie, and it's wonderful to see you back too..

Hugs and love, Karen 320/218/150

Well Karen I have to be honest I've been pretty bad,but today is a new day and I'm starting again,i have to tell you I felt very lost without the postings I know thats a poor excuse but I'm not a very strong person a little upset in my life or change I go down hill very fast,that is one thing that I have been trying to over come it seems to be my makeup so I have to jump over it some how(that is one of my challeges this year to be stronger).Just jumped on the scales I weigh 139.7lbs I've put on 2.2lbs positive thinking I'm heading in the right direction now.I'm glad that you are back on the right path again and losing 9lbs is really great--very big pat on the back form me to you---My weekend away with hubby was just fantastic but we ate so much that I felt like I was going to burst,but now it's lots of water and IE for me,well I better go and do some housework thats the trouble with going away coming home to catch up but it was worth it,have a great day catch up after good to be back lol and hugs sharon
