Hello all.....cannot sleep for some reason so thought I would chat a little. I am feeling like eating the wallpaper off the walls tonight...good thing I stripped it and painted about a month ago!!!!!! I made shrimp stirfry for supper tonight and after eating decided it was time to get my walk in....or at least try to. It had been sprinkling on and off all evening. Out I head with my ipod and a bottle of water. It was steadily sprinkling but I was determined to get my walk done. I live in a very small country town and so the streets are not lit....I knew I would not get the 4.2 miles in that I normally do. On the last lap I had planned on walking, because of it getting dark.....the wind had picked up, saw lightning and heard thunder, and then the rain picked up. I walk around the town in a rectangle......I was to my back straight away and it started to really rain.....so I thought .......get your fanny home!!!! I started jogging....and jogged the back straight away and right into my front door!!!!! I felt so proud of myself !! Cyndi I have to tell you I felt like you were right there beside me inspiring me to make it home!!!! I was still breathing...and managed to get 3 miles in!!!!! I always weigh in on Thursday mornings so I will be anxious to see what the scale says this week.......I sooooo want to see the 180's!!!!! Okies....I am gonna try to get back to sleep....!!!!! I will post on Thursday and hopefully I am happy with what the mystical scale has to say!!!!! Hugs and kisses, and sweet dreams!!!!!

Ok, in honor of those of us that have been down about stalls the past few weeks I had to post this quote siad tonight on The Biggest Loser "Slow and steady wins the race, I may be the LAST turtle to cross the line, but I will look GOOD in my shell!" Means a lot ot me right now!!!

Thanks for the kinds words ladies! I am starting to get clothes that fit me now, and I am realizing that is okay, and even fun ... need to watch out for that! LOL But I have gone to the thrift stores and done well since I am out of the plus size dept. Did I really just write that???!!! Hooray for all of us!

Thank you so much Esther! I'm just happy I can get on the floor and back off it now without the assistance of a chair or sofa. We had a business lunch today at Applebee's and the GM there remembered it was my surgiversary! LOL He graduated me to a big girl glass of unsweetened tea and a nice pile of Splenda. lol It was the best kid's grilled chicken sandwich minus the bun. lol The people we were meeting with asked what the deal was and I happily told them I had the surgery. The looked at me like I had 30 minutes left to live! I told them how happy I am now and that I was down 80 lbs. and now I'm living not just existing. lol They were too funny to me. I guess folks know something's up because I've been all day! I love my RNY!!!!! * Cyndi *

Awwww....thanks so much Holly! I celebrated by walking my 3.5 miles in 55 minutes! I was so excited! I can't wait to go to support group tomorrow night. I'm normally a little, well, hyper, but I just can't wait to see them! I should put all this energy to use and get my yard all Halloweened! lol Where did I put my jigsaw???? Enjoy your day too Holly!!! * Cyndi *
