Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!

Well I'm still Improving. Mrs.Claus (Fatima, my Girlfriend) and I with hundreds of others Completed the 1 Mile Gobbler Walk of the St.Pete Times Turkey Trot within Thirty minutes. Actually by the Pedometer we walked about 2 1/2 miles today plus a mile Wednesday evening at the Opening Show of the Trots at Clearwater HS. And the 3XL T-Shirt actually fit this year too! "Happy Thanksgiving" to ALL *****ads this Posting & Good Luck to all you shopping on Black Friday that you may find what your searching for! I stayed within my limits on eating today too! I Lost another 11 pounds this past month bringing the Total to 153 since last Christmas and as I'm typing this I'm realizing that with losing the next 7 pounds I will have rid myself of 300 pounds since October 2002. And am setting my next Goal on losing the next 47 pounds to break 400 by my Birthday in March 2007. We're still Walking every morning as soon as I get out of bed before breakfast. The a good Protein breakfast and chores before walking to the Clearwater YMCA or going to work as needed. At the Y I swim for 2 hours and then walk back home for a healthy Protein Lunch. And then off to meeting and such around town. After dinner I make another round of my new neighborhood park before resting and posting on the net. And retire for a goodnights sleep. So I AM Thankful for all of you who Support my Efforts to continue to become healthier. Thank You Very Much Mike

Mike, your doing great, keep up the good work. Any news on the conference next year?

I've talked directly with Monica by phone when she came back from the Hawaiian Cruise and she stated that the Orlando date should not have been posted and were still planning on the Florida OH Conference to be held in Tampa Bay next year. Were still discussing venues with several hotels. As Monica was very unhappy with $15.00 parking fees in Lexington for those attending the OH Conference per day. I'm talking with one in Tampa and one in St.Petersburg still. And will post as soon as we've decided which hotel we'll be at. I'm also trying for hotel rooms under $100.00 per night, so we'll all stay at the same hotel too. Mike
