MIA

Sorry I've been gone so much! I am adjusting to the "no work" thing and with a new grandbaby in the house, there never seems like enough time. It's almost like I am a stay at home mom now instead of grandmom.
The weight loss is in the  and I know I have gained some and won't weight because I'm scared to. I have to get back on track and get a routine down here at home like I had for work each day. Well, ya know what I mean... I clean and cook mostly and the cooking part for as many as we have living here... they don't eat healthy, even if I try to feed them. SO, I need to get creative and try to fix some better meals.
Anyone want to do the 5 day diet with me? I also need to get my local OHer's here in TH to meet up with me to get some exercise or something in. I'd kind of like to join a gym but it costs so much and if I had a warehouse of hall to use I would do what I've always wanted to and start an exercise group for us low-impact people.  Wouldn't that be fun? Heck, I would probably have to have some kind of license or something.

Anyway, I want to apologize for being absent. Also, I discovered Facebook and have been playing on there a lot lately. I need to make OH be my first daily log in on the pc so that I can get my daily dose of support.  Everyone here helps so much more than they know... Actually, maybe we all do know and share that. Must be why we keep coming back.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings.
Peace and Love all...

HIIIII girlfriend, been thinking about you.  Isn't having a new baby in the house such fun.  When my first grandson was born he was like a growth on my hip lol.  Are you babysitting while they work?

I am determined to get ten pounds off by December, I am hoping for a panniculectomy then so I would like to be that much closer to my goal weight.  Its a struggle as I have been where I am for three months going back and forth with the same 3 pounds.  I have good and bad days, luckily I am having enough good days to keep me from regaining any, but certainly not enough to lose....I get frustrated at myself.  The answer seems so easy and yet so complicated to play out.  I guess I will bite the bullet and sign up to do the five day thingy with you.  I will read up on what all I need and make a trip to the grocery today while I am off work.  When do you wanna start?

Please don't be such a stranger, I miss you!

Hey Lady,

Glad to see you post.  I have been missing you.  WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND WALK!!!!!

No more excuses.  Call me and we will get together.

Thanks guys. Jeannie, we can start whenever. I need to go grocery shopping today as well and I am actually drinking a protein drink, but I need to get some more. Do you want to start tomorrow or wait until next week like do Mon-Fri? I have a busy weekend but, if I try to get more protein in my diet in the next few days then my carb cravings will be in better control for me to start on Monday. Last time I tried the 5 day diet, I failed :(  I just couldn't do it. Let me know when you want to start.
