my thoughts exactly! sounds like you got alot of stuff done even if you did say your not moving as quickly as you'd like.

Here!! Va

HI Margo, I thought it was just the first of the month blues or something. It has been quiet around here lately. Today has been one of those days I ate everything in site Ice cream chocolate,, you name it I probably ate it. I don't have a lot of days like that, but this was one of them !! (those @#$%# Hormones, again!!) Sorry Guys!! To get some of that energy back--up your b-12 I did & wow what a difference. I have also got back on shakes. I no some of you think they are stupid, but I feel lots better & even though I ate a lot today Have lost 4 lbs this week. I think its because my sugars are better controled than they have been in a long time. Nice to here what is happening with you! Take care of You!! Marilyn, the Bearlady

Wow! I envy you the garage! It has been years since our cars could go in!! (OK--I don't envy you enough to clean out mine!) LOL!

I'm here, I'm back. I'm home today with my kidneys (not like I go to work without them normally). My sisters and I took Mom on a cruise for 4 days. It was a good time, but I'm glad to be home. I gained 2 pounds, but that's probably the usual constipation and water retention because I gain and lose the same 5 pounds everyday. I have been known to pee 4 pounds in a couple of hours. I did make it a point to go from the bottom of the ship to the top several times a day and didn't take the elevator unless I was with Mom. Walked from one end of the ship to the other at least 6 times each day so got in plenty of exercize. Also walked the city when we docked instead of taking an excursion. I was going to use the gym, but opted to walk the ship instead. I want to park in my garage too! I have it full of woodworking stuff because I'm framing/trimming my windows. It's a mess anyway, now there's just sawdust all over the mess. OK, gotta get on line and start working. Just because I'm home, doesn't mean I'm not working. Hugs, Connie

OVER HERE LURKING........... I check in every day for a few minutes because that's all I have lately. I have moved from the third to the second shift, but they still haven't filled my third shift slot yet, so I'm now working the second shift plus half of the third (the first shift covers the other half). That plus travel time adds up to about a 15 hour day. Also my In-laws are moving from a house to an apartment, so my wife and I are helping to sorti and move or otherwise dispose of a lifetime's stuff. That accounts for the weekends. When and if things calm down, I'll get back to posting more frequently. Mike

Here and lurking! busy busy busy with school right now. I always forget how much hard work is involved in the first quarter of kindergarten! We cleaned out part of our garage...I can get MY car in it!! LOL poor hubby still has to park in thedriveway but in my defense if he parks THERE, it is less to shovel in the snow right?????? AndI clean off his car in the mornings so he doesn't do it anyway! I consider it part of my exercise in the winter LOL!!!!! I started going back to the gym and wouldn't ya know they decide NOW to remodel the ladies locker room.@@ So that means I can't go before school and it is a sturggle to get there after work so they should be done in another week I will try again. I am getting B-12 injections now and THOSE suckers make my arm soooooo sore. Anyone else get them somewhere else?? If they are just that painful I don't want one in the butt LOL! I have decided to loose back to 160 pounds. So I am about 17-20 pounds off. @@ I got really while we were in england and lost 17 pounds in 2 weeks and looked like death but then when I gained it back it all moved into my hips and thighs so NONE of my pants fit@@@@@@@ So I gotta move it move it!!!(said in my best movie voice!) Can you tell I have lunch detention today and am sitting here with nothing to do or rather TONS to do but no motivation. UGH! Nic 291/177 (182)/160 I WILL SUCCEED!!!!!

I get the B 12 in my butt. Does not hurt at all. They need to go in a muscle for best absorption. Hope this helps... Joy
