Hi everyone, It is good to see so many of you active here. My summer has been busy but also kinda slow. The job I took a year ago is slowly winding down. They want me to go, I want to go and the work I am doing now is very basic although I have closed some major business deals for them. I take it for what it is, do it well and am actively interviewing for jobs that reflect my skills, management experience and leadership. I am in advanced discussions with a fabulous collection of hotels and I really want it to come together. Like many of you, I begrudgingly went back to the gym. Treadmill and yoga are the two thing I am doing. I should add a personal trainer to the mix, it sounds like it keeps you all more engaged and accountable. I have avoided the scale since I saw it at 198 - up 15 from my lowest - in fear of it showing results over 200. I keep in mind Jaci's theme of making this my sexiest summer ever and focus on being all I can be. My dating life is still nothing. I am a one dater kinda person, nothing seems to stick or be the right match for me. There's been no travel in the current job although I am going to Hong Kong for a week next month and then a few days in LA for a convention. I am enjoying being around my home and building more of a life in my community....although making friends in the suburbs is not easy. Thinking of you all and sending my best, ~Tiffany

Hey Dave - while the weight loss may have slowed, dont forget to continually applaud your successes thus far. You have so much to be proud of. Maybe your body is taking a break and getting ready to shed the next big chunk of weight? Dont give up on your goal. My best wishes to you and your family....so sorry to hear of your mom. ~Tiffany

Congratulations to you and your family!! Everyone looks happy together. You have worked so hard to make this happen, may your lives continue to be blessed and filled with good tidings. Hugs, ~Tiffany

Hi Alex I am struggling to but this s the opposite of yours. I am trying to lose again and even joined a Gym and am enjoying that. I get very hungry after exercising,so I need to learn to control that. I am glad your life is going well. I too am happy with my life but then again I have always been happy. I do know I am having more energy and having more fun though. Hope your weekend is good..... Hugs, Chris
