Sorry I have been gone from the board...

I have missed you all and tried to stop and at least read posts daily but we have been very busy with Cub Scout day camp and about 1,001 other things. I bowled last night pretty well, we won (YAHOOOOO!) and my weight has remained steady at 172. Kind of disappointing because I have been exercising, but I guess my body really needed to catch up. Plateaus are good for your body, even though they might not be great on your self-esteem! I meet with a plastic surgeon on Wednesday and keep your fingers crossed for me!! Hopefully I will hear what I want to hear from the surgeon and the insurance company. My tan is killer, although I haven't been to the pool in a while. We have family reunions, company picnics, and 4th of July parties galore within the next 2 weeks, I am going to enjoy all the shocked looks and compliments. Oh, on a side note, I had a total stranger ask me out last night- what a self-esteem boost... I am married so I quickly shot him down (LOL) but he made me feel... Oh I don't know the right word... like a FEMALE, not a buddy. Hubby wasn't jealous when I told him about it, he knew it made me feel good to be thought of as desirable so he congratulated me! LOL! ANyways, please respond to the roll call I post next oh and let me know what's going on! ~~~Julie~~~

Julie,Should like you are having a busy summer. My summer about half over and haven't starting to enjoy it much. I have been working on exerising more. I go to the YMCA for water Aerobics Tue, Thurs, and Saturdays. Today I am spending the evening with my girlfriend shoping, dining, and watching movies. Saturday I am taken the kids to the pool. I also was given clothes and need to organize my closest in sizes. I think I have size 22 through 14. So this way I can be ready. Do you have any suggestions? What have you done? Have a great weekend to you all! Lisa J/Cedar Rapids Ia.
