Update Joanie

Hi Gang I know I have been lax in my posts. Just know-its been a busy summer with the kids home. I am saving my vacation days for next year's cruise. We had a great time in NYC...I had so much energy--good thing cuz we did lots of walking! Mamma Mia was fantastic...we went to this diner afterwards with singing waiters and waitresses...it was so neat. Kids wanted to shop on Monday...we spent lots of $$$!! The Yankee game was awesome..we had pretty good seats too! I have been good...but definitely not counting my protein etc lately. This week I went back to basics--and have even had a daily protein drink!! I will head back to the gym next week..its been two weeks... but I promise you-I have been walking EVERY DAY. Think its time for an updated picture...Think I will take the time now to send it to OH.com! Hope all of you are well...I miss you all. XO Joanie

Hey Joanie, We missed you on the boards. Especially me, I have been wondering how your doing. I am so glad you had a great time in NYC. Sounds like a blast. I want to go again soon. I love NY. Tom is going to a Yankee game this Saturday with his bestfriend. He is all excited. My anniversary is next week so we are hoping to do either NY or Boston. I love both places now that I can handle the walking. I hope all is well with you, we still have to make plans to finally meet, we keep missing each other. Hugs KimC

Hey Kim My daughter fell in love with NYC..we hadn't taken her since she was really little. She told me she wants to live there..and asked why we couldn't go there more often. I mentioned how expensive it was..and she suggested I get ANOTHER job!! Kids! XO Joanie

Hello Joanie Thank you for sharing your update news about your trip and sounds you all had blast time there!!! It must be good mini vacation for your family and will have more blast time when all of you go to cruise next year!!!! Cannot wait to see you on Sept 6th and chat with you !!! Hugs Kathy K

Hey there Joanie, Glad to hear from you and glad you had a great time in NYC! How I love NYC! The diner sounds pretty cool! I know how busy summer can be and I am glad that you have kept up on your walking. Are you going to start up with your water aerobics again? We need a get together soon! Love, Sandy

Sandy I plan on starting my water aerobics again in the fall. Its something I really enjoy. My informal outings at the pool with my friend I met at class ended--she is 39 weeks pregnant. I am encouraging her to start again after the baby is born. She is a "big" girl--but only gained four pounds through the entire pregnancy--and that is because of the water exercise--and my encouragement (her words..) It was great to be a motivator to someone else and see results! I am meeting a co worker tonight to help study for her u/s registry test--before I meet her, I may go to the gym--as I upgraded my membership at Planet Fitness and now, can go to any facility. Since I am working in Mfd today..I will stop by there--even for 45 min... We DO need to get together soon. Are you doing the walk for Obesity?? XO Joanie

Hi Joanie, It sounds like you doing very well, and enjoying life, which is why we all did this. Glad things went well in NYC, I love it there. Nice place to visit! I also need to get back to basics, getting that protein in etc. Good luck with your protein! Pam

Hi Joanie, Good to hear from you. You have been definitely missed on the boards! So glad you had a great time in NYC - how can you not love Momma Mia! I knew you would enjoy it. Sounds like it was a great family get away. Can't wait to see your updated picture! HUGS, Nancy K
