Sorry I haven't been around a whole lot. I have mostly been a lurker. So much has happened since I had surgery. I am not longer employed. My department was moved to Tampa, FL. It was either go with the job or no job. Well, my family and friends (not to mention my hubby has his own business) is here. I was a bit bummed about it. I loved my job and could have retired at it. Anyway, I am signed up to be a full-time college student. I am going to get my Associates degree. I have been taking a summer Algebra class and it has been kicking my but. So much to cram into a few weeks. I am glad I haven't been working so I can stay on top of it. My last class is Thursday when I have my final exam. I tried having a garage sale, and it didn't go too well. I have so many nice clothes I can't wear. I am definitely not complaining!!! I did tell my daughter I was a little upset at not being able to wear my favorite sweaters. She told me it's time to make new favorites. Gotta love her!!!

I have been having a little eating issues lately. Snacking too much! Trying to nip that in the bud before it becomes a full blown problem. Old habits die hard!!!!

I am so proud to be a member of this New York Board.

I am officially down 55 lbs.

Hi Betsy! Glad to see you back, Girl! I know how hard it is to go back to school with a family. I am there myself right now. It's a juggling act for sure! I'm glad that you see that habit starting to rear it's head so early, so you can catch it early. You can do it, Hon! Laurie
