Update/Onederland

Hi all.  I have been MIA lately, but wanted to share that I am now in Onderland.  As of last week, I was 198.  I haven't seen numbers like those for 18 years.  I updated my blog and uploaded a new picture from the Valentine's Dance we went to last weekend.  Feel free to look if you like. I don't have the time to respond to all the posts I've missed individually, but know I check in nearly daily, at least for a short time.  I'm working 40+ hours a week, doing full time course work in college, plus my motherhood type chores.  At night, when I have time, I'm just too pooped to party. You all are in my thoughts and prayers often.  I am so excited for each of you and how well you're doing on your journeys.  Feel free to email me if you like. Take care all. Ellen

Ellen - It's nice to see your friendly face and may I say how thin you look! Great job with everything that you've tackled and accomplished! Keep it up girl, your truely an inspiration! Wendy

You look fantastic!!  Congratulations on being in Onederland ~ it's an awesome feeling isn't it??? Hugs, Donna

((((( Wowee, Ellen! ))))) You look awesome, and you sound awesomer, despite being snowed under by busy-ness.  Congrats!   You're my inspiration du jour.

Congratulations on the onederland trip there! You have changed so much since I started on here and I must say I have to double take each time you change ypour avie. Amazing job there! You should be proud of yourself.  Lisa

Wow, that is ONEDERFUL news!    Congrats!  You look amazing.  I stopped by the store the other day but you were not there, sorry I missed you.  Take care of yourself and don't over do it!  Alice

Ellen -

You look just fabulous! I wish I had that lovely jawline! Keep up the great work and know that you are thought of regularly. While we truly understand, I must say that I miss you my friend.

Take care of yourself,

Warmly,

Barbara

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Ellen, I didn't recognize you pic when I first saw it.  You look like a totaly different person!!!!!!!!!  I am so happy for you!!!!!!!  Wow....you keep a really full schedule.  I have been busy too.  It is good that we keep busy....don't really have time to eat.  hahahaha  You are doing wonderful!

Great news, Ellen. Love the Valentine dance picture. WOW! You look great! xoxo

I'm following close behind you - another month or so and I'll hit the magnificent ONEderland for the first time in a very very long time as well. Then I will have a rockin' party!   Remember to make time for yourself - pamper yourself whenever and however you can.  I've been taking a lot of baths lately.  It's so freaking cold here and it's the perfect "quiet time" activity - no phone, no computer, no kids, no husband - just me and the bubbles and some soft relaxing music.  Ahhhhh.  I wish I could take one right now.......
