Barbara, You are reading my mind again. I have been wondering if my posts have made a difference? I am starting to have trouble coming up with topics. I don't mind posting, but I feel as though I am starting to run out of inspiration. Maybe it's time to pass the torch? I do have posts written for this week. I am interested to see the responses you receive. Thanks for being there for us. Rick

My biggest issue right now is water. I can not seem to get it in. Right now I should be drnking it while on the computer but am I-heck no! I am 5 pounds from my goal and I know if I drank more water I would lose that in no time. MJ

Well I have 24 miles for last week...not a great week (and I didn't have the flu!)...but I plan to do much better this week. Somehow since Saturday I have managed to lose my pedometer - dang it! So this afternoon I will stop by my surgeon's office and pick up another one. Thanks for keeping track my surgery-buddy and good friend! Barbara

Some folks go through life pleased that the glass is half-full. Others spend a lifetime lamenting that it's half-empty. The truth is: There is a glass with a certain volume of liquid in it. From there, it's up to you!......Dr. James S. Vuocolo Which are you? The half-full or the half-empty? I think we were half-full when we lost our initial huge weight amounts and perhaps we think it is half-empty now because - yes we have had 1/2 the glass, but we still have a little more to go to fini**** up. But at the end of the day - there is volume left in the glass and we MARCHers going to goal - need to finish up the glass! This is a new week - a new day - make some good choices today. If you aren't really losing weight - I think you know why. You may not be making good food choices, you may not be drinking enough water, you may not be exercising. Of our golden 4 I don't think not taking your vitamins is going to make the glass half-full or half-empty, BUT you certainly are going to need them now and when you get to goal and FOREVER. So MARCHers - please make good choices today. Let's get this done - we have the tool, unfortunately we have denial also - maybe I won't exercise today....just one cookie today won't matter, one snack size Snickers won't matter, not drinking enough water won't matter. Well guess what....WRONG!!!!! Get with it and let's finish this out together. We have about 5 1/2 months till our 2 year surgiversary....let's get to goal by then! Are you with me? What will you do today? Hugs to all....Barbara

Hi all, This week was all over the place as far as weather goes. At one point on thought my umbrella was going to sail be to Kansas. Maybe it's the last of gravity holding me down. Anyway I logged in 36.5 miles for the week. Next weekend my wife, grandson and I are going to the ocean, so it might be a little more difficult for me to log my miles, but I will do my best. Thanks for keeps track of us. Life is great, Rick
