Thursdays Gym.....

Good morning everyone.... Hope you're all having a wonderful day... Mine is busy as usual... No exercise for me today. I'm holding steady at 182.... I'm soooo glad that I never have to see the 190's again...yippeee... How's everyone else doing??? Can you believe it's August 10th already? Jeez only 4 weeks left, here in NY, until school starts back up... this summer is just a flyin... Have a wonderful day & lets get moving girls (ME INCLUDED) Tammy

Hey Tam! I haven't walked in over two stinkin weeks! BUT.... I did wear my walking shoes today! I am walking to my tanning appt. It's about a mile so it's at least something. I have been waivering between 165-170 this week. Upped my water and my protein so I am hoping that helps! We shall see. It's a little unnerving. I don't want to ever see the 170s again! Anyhoo... it's time for lunch so off I go! Take care sweetie, Lori

I hear ya girl.... My sister bought a brand new bowflex treadclimber...i'll be putting my butt on that thing when I go there on the 19th... probably want to collapse after 5 minutes..hahahahaha how was the tanning appt??? probably so relaxing... take care Tam

Hi Tammy, I took a look at your pictures for the first time and I have to say you look so much younger now. You look 20 years younger and very happy. I mean, what I say in a good way. I hope I'm not being rude but it's funny how the body can stretch out and shrink back in. Looking at your pictures make me want to put my pictures on my profile page. Well no exercise today just the 4,357 steps I took today at work. I go weigh in tomorrow at doc's office, wish me good luck. This morning weight 188.5 again of 2.5 pounds and I hate that. Hopefully I will loose 2.5 are 3 by morning. Guess what School starts monday here in Fort Worth Texas and I will be taking off work to take Rolen to school. His first day of public school, kindergarden, and he will be going all day from 8:00 to 3:00pm. I hope I don't cry and if I do I want let him see me cry. Well I talk to much some times, but I'll say it again you look fabulous. Take Care Carolyn/Jc C. 284/186/188.5/ want to be 150 or 160-ish.....

Carolyn, First of all...thank you so much. I take no offense to what you said. I believe I do look years younger. Secondly, please post your pictures. I think it's such a great benefit, not only for yourself to see the wonderful changes, but for everyone else who may come across your profile that is thinking of having this surgery. I, personally, love seeing the changes in everybody. It's just amazing. Would also love to put a face to my friend, Carolyn. Lastly......but most importantly....awwwwww, this is such a big step for Rolan. Having gone through this with my 3, I think it's a BIGGER step for Mom. I did so well when I left them in their classroom, but let me tell you, the waterfalls fell pretty good when I got to my car. He's going to do so great. This is the start of a whole new life for both of you. Take lots of pictures. i have a video of them telling me about their first day of school. Its so darn cute. I cried last year when I dropped the twins off at middle school, I'm sure I'll do the same this year cuz my youngest starts middle school & next year the twins are off to High School... UUUUUGGHHHHHHH.... time sure does fly. Take Care & let us know how it goes. Tammy

Whoo hoo! Have fun with THAT! Tanning was good..... Lori

Hiya! What a surprise seeing you here.. THIS time last Year- was my last day at work- and Monday (the 15th) was my surgery.. Today I'm planning a hot date and Sunday my son is coming home from Chicago - he has been away for two weeks.. YAY! I have actually missed the noise he makes..LOL! SO! I have not been to the gym since Tuesday- and I did workout- Sun to Tuesday- but Wed I went out dancing (I had met a really hunky guy that looked like a football player) that was 6'5"..He commented on my very short skirt! BUT I have to say- my legs looked good from all that gym work- and before I would not have had the confidence to flirt with him at all Last night- I did get some shopping in- and I cleaned my house for 5 hours! Before I could barely do one hour and my knees always hurt ! I wouldn't have stopped either- if I didnt have to sleep- so talk about being the Energizer Bunny! I don't even think I ate dinner! LOL..Tonight I'm meeting Steven and we're heading down to the beach for the sunset and then back to my place.. ..This is a very nice perk of post surgery..meeeting someone you hit it off with..it's just nice..I'm so enjoying this..he's romantic and sweet. So whereas a year ago I was looking forward to the weekend- I am still looking forward to the weekend- for different reasons! I still can't believe I house cleaned for 5 hours..I hope my place stays that way- LOL!! Have a great day- and fun weekend- Next week- our anniversary!! Hugs, Donna

Hey Ms. Donna! I just wanted to tell ya that you are truly an inspiration to us all. You are doing so great with your exercising! GREAT JOB! Oooooooh and.... good luck with the date! WHOO HOO! Lori
