Here I am

Hi  Ladies, you might be seeing a similar post twice.  I just wanted to check in.  I see the board is very inactive, so everyone is probably struggling.  I am on vacation, and have PROMISED myself that come Sunday, its BACK TO BASICS.  I have had a nice vacation, but have let old habits come back.  I havent weighed myself in days, the last time I was up to 285 which is about 8 lbs gained.  I feel good though, and I am confident that things will be okay and I will do well again.  Tommorow night my brother in law has group and I go with him.  It is a follow up group to the surgery.  I went last month also.  He is doing awesome, he is the one who had the surgery on my 4 year anniversary date.  He has lost about 75 since surgery, and almost 100 all together.  I know he will be successful because he is following Drs. orders to the LETTER.  I told him never to stray from the basic "rules".  He has seen a lot of us "fail" ( for lack of a better word) because we made our own rules and slid away from program.  Well, so far on vacation Ive done everything Ive wanted.  Tomorrow I am FINALLY getting this damn tooth OUT.  It hurts so bad!  After I will go get my oil change.  Ive gone to "The Big E" which is a huge fair in our area.  I bought some stuff for the house, and walked for about 8 hours.  Hubby surprised me by calling his work and having today as an extra vacation day.  We have a Linens & Things in the next town that is closing, so I went and bought some things for the house there.  (Our house was just rebuilt, last November 9th we lost it to a fire).  We just moved back in on April 30th, from living in a trailer on our property until then.  Monday I surprised hubby with tickets to the Red Sox game.  I was hoping his brother could go, but he couldnt, so he took his best friend.  I just had the opportunity to get the tickets before I left work Friday so there wasnt much notice. 

Well, now I must end this book.  The last post that I dont think made it was only a few sentences!   I hope everyone is well.  Please keep in touch!!!

Hugs, Lisa
