Good Thursday Morning Everybody!

Good Morning Everybody! I'm in a great mood today as it's actually my "Friday" since I'm off tomorrow! How is everyone doing? I'm doing pretty darn great! I went for my second session with my personal trainer yesterday and boy, he whipped my butt! I go today at 4pm for my third session. I'm considering purchasing an additional 3 or 6 sessions (depending on which my pocketbook can afford) just to get me off on the right track. My reaction to the workout yesterday makes me realize even more that I did the right thing by making the moves from Curves to another gym. Curves was great to get me started, but it ceased to be a challenge awhile ago. I also went to my first post op support group meeting (yes, you read that right, first post op meeting at 13 months out). I haven't really been concerned about not making it since my surgery in July 2005 (since I have a great support system in my friends/family and here at OH). It was nice to meet everybody that was there. I actually ran into an old friend/acquaintance that I hadn't seen since before my surgery. So how is everyone else today? How goes the protein/supplements/water/exercise? Don't forget our get together this Sunday at Blue Fins Bar & Grill (www.bluefinsrocks.com) at 12:30pm. Have a wonderful day! Take Care, Terry

Morning Terry Your gym experiences are really making me think hard about checking out Big Vanilla!!! With vacation and my trip to Chicago coming up in October I think I may still procrastinate into November before I do anything about it though. I'm looking forward to Sunday! This is going to be a 'crabby' weekend. Mr Mo and I are going to a crab feast on Saturday and then crabs again on Sunday .. yummy yummy!!! (then I have another crab thing to go to on Monday 9/18 ... ) I think I'll be crabbed out soon. Have a long day of 'reading' ahead of me. I've got 4 proposals to read. I'm on the 2nd one .. this is just the first pass through all of them then I will go back and start the evaluations ... the committee meets next Wednesday so I've got a task here to get through it all on top of my 'regular' job. Have a great day off tomorrow !!! Hugs, Mo

Good Morning - Yes, I've been MIA, and today's my Monday, since I took off Tuesday & Wednesday. My tooth/gum area has still been giving me a fit, I think it was infected and no one caught it, but it seems to be less inflamed this morning! Let's hope! My other problem that kept me out of work was anal glaucoma (my brother's diagnosis!) I'm sure you can figure that one out!! Terry, I'm so proud of you for making the move to the big kid's gym, and treating yourself to a personal trainer. My eating bit the big one this weekend, but I'm back on track and am going to try to go to the gym tonight. They're only open M-T, and since DVR said I should work out 6 (WHAT?) days a week, I really do need to supplement it. I don't think shopping qualifies! Mo, reading over the last couple of posts, I'm glad you've found both Poncho and your purse. Not being a cat person, I'm more sympathetic to the misplaced purse, but I know how you are about your furbabies, so I'm glad he showed back up!!! Molly the Beagle is too chubby to fit in any tight spaces, thank goodness. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday. I'm going to call them today to see if we should reserve a table. I may bring Mom, I'm assuming no one has a problem with that? She LOVES crabs, and she'll be deserting me for South Carolina in a couple of weeks (she's only going for a week, but I still like to make her feel guilty!!) I also asked Gary to bring the kids by since they only live about 2 miles away, and I'd love for everyone to meet my non-fur babies! Leaving today at 11:30 for a retirement luncheon on Westminster (who schedules luncheons for Thursday???!) So I get a free pass the rest of the day! WOO-HOO! Tia So 12:30 sounds good! See you all there. Have a great day!

Awwwwwwwwwww.... Tia!!! Poncho appreciates the fact that you are glad he was found ... the little boys that I told could have him if they found him are disappointed that they didn't find him, but I am not sure I could have REALLY given him away no matter how annoyed he made me. I've been wondering if the tooth was what had you MIA this week. I am looking forward to a 'crabby' weekend. We are going to a crab feast at the VVA in Dundalk on Saturday, then with y'all AGAIN on Sunday ... I'm going to be in Old Bay overload!!! Hugs, Mo

Good morning all! I started out sluggish this morning...didn't want to get out of bed...whined to myself about getting a shower...kicked the wall for having to get dressed. Then I got in the car and it was off I went. I have been non-stop since and having a good time too! I have accomplished 3 out of 5 of my "to-do"s, and I told my boss that I would not have them done till the end of the month. So, there...lol! Well, I am getting antsy sitting here....so, I am going to go and do some more "productive" things! Why not right? I have the energy today for some reason...must be the vitamins! See ya all Sunday! And talk to you tomorrow (I'll probably be out of steam by then and have nothing better to do then sit on the computer )!

Hi Leslie Looking forward to meeting you on Sunday! Hugs, Mo

Damn you girl - I knew it was you! We sat next to each other last night with our trainers and neither of us said anything! haha Headed to the gym now but it's almost 6 so you're probably gone. Glad you made support group last night. Cathy runs a great one. Only sorry that I missed it!
