Wow Wanda! you have lots going on ... oh my! 1) CONGRATS to you and Randy on the new GRAND baby Boy or girl? 2) Sorry to hear about your step-daughter - that is crazy - prayers being said! 3) Wanda - you are a beautiful women inside and out. You have a terrific personality. People are going to be drawn to you - that is the type of personality you have - - I am suprised to hear that you don't like attention. You look amazing *work that room girl* 4) I agree with you 100000% - I too have to plan out my meals. It is so easy to get off track and so HARD to get back on. It took me MONTHS. Lesson learned!! You can do it. You *already* know that not planning out food is a *key* to your success- sit down and make the time for you to do this TODAY! As far as the gym - it may take you a few days to get back in that grove - but once you start it - you'll be glad you did! Think of how good you feel after working out - remember that feeling and GO FOR IT! 5) Good luck on your audit at work. sending you lots of positive vibes and hugs, Britt

Another week has passed without me taking the time to plan my meals and count my calories. It's so easy to be too busy to bother with it. I've come to realize that you can wander into being fat, but you can't wander out. You need a plan! I haven't monitored my intake for months---this is nuts! In addition to not tracking my food, I'm having a hard time getting back into exercise. I was doing so good before. I'm so tired now from the anemia that I can't seem to get my endurance back. Waaa! I'm not so sure that this week will be any better. It looks like another hectic week. We are waiting for our annual survey (we don't know the exact date--the survey team just shows up and surprises us with their week long inspection.) My 24 year-old step-daughter has bacterial meningitis and will be in ICU for at least another 10 days. I read yesterday that there is a 5-15% mortality rate! She just had a baby three days ago!! The baby doesn't show symptoms, but eveybody that has come into contact with her has to be treated--including the hospital staff. And I leave Thursday to go to Loiusiana for a family reunion. I get to meet a lot of Randy's family for the first time. Not a good situation for someone who doesn't want to be the center of attention! I'm going to sit down today and map out a food plan that will take me until at least Thursday. Send me good vibes! Wanda

I also found out that low iron can cause restless leg syndrome. I never knew that! Restless Leg Syndrome drives me insane! You are smart to be taking proactive steps now. But then again--you are just smart! Wanda
