hello?!

where is everyone? noone has been posting for the past couple of days so I figured I would try to get the fires burning again. How is everyone handling the hot weather? I dont do well in heat but we finally got a second air conditioner so its cool in my place for once and its great!! I can enjoy working from home now instead of loathe it! Also, I hate eating in the heat. All I want to eat is ice cream and ice pops and ice tea and really light foods like cereal. YIKES!! I try not to indulge too much. How bout you all? sarah

Bring on the fall!!!! xoxox Lee

Hello, Sarah and everyone else. I've been around.... just don't have anything to say worth reading. Same ole hum-drum around here. It has been very hot here. Each day has been in the upper 90's and its so humid, its hard to breath at times. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a swimming pool. Unfortunately, the heat has not affected my appetite at all. I'm still walking and riding my bike in the evenings when the sun is starting to set, and I do get out and swim a couple of laps about 4 or 5 times a week. Other than that, just taking it a day at a time. Everyone take care. Wanda

I'm like Wanda...been here but don't have much important stuff to tell. Just busy...I'm taking two college classes and I'm struggling to keep my head above water. It's was awfully hot here last week; this week is cooler but it has rained a bit every day and the humidity is worse than the heat. That makes it tough to be comfortable...too humid outside; too cold with the air conditioning inside. I keep turning the thermostat up; my husband keeps turning it down. In the evenings watching television, I still have to wear sweat pants and long-sleeved shirts! I had gained about 5 pounds and couldn't figure out why...very depressing. Today, the weight is all off again, and I still can't figure out why. It's nice to know that everyone is still here....I'm sure we're all just going through a summer slump adjusting to the heat. Love to you all, Julie

YOU HAVE HEAT!!!! I'm jealous. We just bought a house and are busy moving in. I'm hoping to have some time to chit chat soon. Linn

Hi Sarah, We are still unpacking .... been in our new home a month now and LOVE IT. Landscaping and BBQ were finished today. Pool and jacuzzi are usable (look great too) but the jacuzzi has some tweaking needed so are working that out. I'm using the pool at least twice a day ---- with 100+ degree weather I need to cool off and the pool is great for that. Instead of ice cream, try sugar free snow cones. They are yummy, satisfying, and no calories. So many flavors to choose from too. I use my snow cone maker a great deal even in the winter time. Mary

Hey Sarah and everyone else. Same ole sameole. I am bouncing with my weight from 151 to 155. For the first time in a long time the heat is not really bothering me that bad. I stay so cold most of the time. I eat sugar-free cremicicles and fudgicles. I allow myself 1 a day. I haven't been very good about working out. Actually I haven't gone to the gym in about 2 months. New job, new boyfriend and summer break for the children. Take care of yourself and stay cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Delainya 321/154/at goal (basically)
