Thursday Roll Call
Karen,
No bad memories from gym, I was the skinny scrawney, short kid who didn't like sports.
I liked to walk, ride my bike, roller and ice skate.
The other kids liked baseball, football, basketball, etc.
My parents never put emphesis on sports as far as playing, both of my parents loved to walk. Dad watched baseball and football and taught me how to play both but walking was what we did as a family.
My problem is getting myself away from the computer at lunch and walking. I know that hour is mine but I have so much work at times that the extra hour I work helps keep it to a dull roar.
As far as the gym, I know I need that to tighten up skin, walking doesn't do that in all areas. I just do not like the gym or working out, have never belonged to a gym prior to this so again never had a bad experience at a gym.
Thank you for your thoughts.....I did take them and think about them for quite awhile trying to figure out if anything negative might have ever happened in gym. Even had a wonderful discussion with Gene.....

This is too funny! I have a Jack Russell named Sparkle Lady. She is our furry daughter. She had a birthday last month. I think she is 11. Getting up there.
Today is my Friday this week. I will have four days off. I was supposed to go to VA but decided it wasn't cost effective so I am staying put.
Have a great day all!

Good Morning Nicole and Pa!
I had a pretty emotional day yesterday - but instead of turning to food - I can at least say I started talking to friends and working on everything so that it all works out one day. Very blessed to have these people in my life. I know, without a doubt, that these friends (yes, on here) will be there for the long haul, and that makes me sooooo happy.
Ok, enough sappy crap! Goodness gracious, when did I turn into a GIRL?!
Lets see...today isn't very exciting at all....the last load of laundry is, shockingly, STILL in the dryer! Apparantly my folding laundry fairies got lost and did not come during the night, slackers that they are! So that needs to get done, as well as put away the hanging up stuff.
Packing food for work, and basically just chilling. A nap will definately be in order...I was up before 6am today so that MUST be a priority.
Another hazy hot and humid day it looks like...although...I must admit, I'm LOVING it, even with the humidity!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. ![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/thumbsup2.gif)

Morning Nicole, PAr's,
Hope your vet can get Sparkie on a diet that will help her problems. . . it is so hard to watch our 4-legged family suffer, especially when they can't tell us what is going on with them. . . :(
I have not been to the gym since April (not a good thing), but time to get there is scarce these days, my exercise consists of walking Roxie 2x a day and whatever other activities, such as yardwork and housework.
Anyway, as I stated yesterday, I am going to make a concerted effort to participate here more, so here I am, my life is always busy, but not necessarily exciting, though I rather not have too much excitement, you know, like deer hitting my car, posion ivy all over my body, and Roxie causing havoc in the form of 5 staples to the head (lol), phew, glad that was almost 2 months ago. . . I can handle mundane living. . .
Well this week is going by fast, came home last night and took Roxie girl to the dog park where she spent her energy playing with a couple of dogs, then came home watched a little television and off to bed. . . tonight is my AA homegroup meeting.
Guess it's time to get ready for work and then take the Roxie girl for a walk. . .
Wishing everyone here a wonderful day!
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Happy Thursday!! One more day until the weekend!
Working til 3:30
Siehara has dress rehearsal for recital today, but luckily the mom who normally drives to dance is willing to pick her up from school on dance days is willing to do so again, today. She will have snack and change into her costume and makeup at her house.
While she is at dress rehearsal, I WILL GO TO THE GYM. I WILL GO TO THE GYM. I WILL GO TO THE GYM. I WILL GO TO THE GYM. I WILL GO TO THE GYM. I WILL GO TO THE GYM.
Yes, that is for me. I WILL GO TO THE GYM.
After the gym, I will pick up Siehara from rehearsal and then we will come home and have dinner and relax for the rest of the night.
oh and by the way.... I WILL GO TO THE GYM.
