Hi Maura
WHere are you going? I think I remember you had this great National Geographic trip planned - Nepal, but then thought it fell through.
Have a fantastic journey. And you are so right about travel after surgery. What a joy!

Beth. . . it can take up to 2 weeks. . . I know because I went through this 6 years ago with my cousin. . . sending you lots of . . .
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

Good Morning Harvey, Laureen and PA!
It is Monday and I am back at work. After spending a good part of the weekend with my mom, I just had to go back to work! Get my mind on doing what I love. I just cannot sit there and watch her fade away.
I have no set plans, since my life is on hold until you know when....I hate this!! It is so difficult!!! I really didn't think my mom would make it until today. Personally I think she is being stubborn! If you knew her in her younger years she was STUBBORN!!!!
Oh well, Maybe when I get home I will take a walk...
Have a great day!

Hi Maura,
Great to read about your continued successing!!! and the exciting trip you have planned. Enjoy, take lots of pics and come back and share all about the joy of traveling, because I know for many of us, our bodies limited much of what we choose to do. . .
Things with me are wonderful and I'm still engaged in doing all the things I love to do!
Best wishes, Laureen

Hi Harvey, PA Friends. . .
Happy Vacation day, yes the weather has been absolutely wonderful and I find myself walking more and longer. . . good for me, good for Roxie. . .
What kind of recipe would you want? I have lots of healthy eating recipes I can share, but are you specifically looking for Chili recipes, cause the wording seems like everyone made the same thing and it was a Chili cookoff? We have a baking contest here at work every year and last year I won in my office with my pumpkin cheesecake recipe, made without real sugar and l/f cream cheese. I'm still trying to figure out what this year's entry will be. . .
I had a wonderful weekend, celebrated the youngest grandson's b-day on Friday, Saturday, took Roxie on an hour long walk around the neighborhood, ran errands, cooked a wonderful dinner for me and several friends, then yesterday morning got up, took Roxie for our walk, along with her friend and friend's doggy Mom, then cooked omelets for me and my roommate and visitor g/f, then took my visitor home to her halfway house in DE, from there drove to Strathmere (Jersey Shore) and hung out with my friend Owen and his wife, we had a nice afternoon sitting on the deck overlooking the beach, he made delicious steaks and roasted veggies, along with the corn I picked up at a farm stand. Afterwards, we walked about 2.5 miles on the beach with their 2 poodles, then went back and had some melon, after which I said my goodbyes and drove home, totally exhausted from the busy ness of my weekend. . . I was in bed by 8:45 and sound asleep in short order, I awoke at 2:24 a.m., went back to sleep and woke up at 6:34 (bad me). . . I had to get out of the house in a hurry, but managed to get to work on time, where I have just spent the past several hours transcribing tapes. . . fun, fun, fun. . . relatively speaking this will be a calm week, only have plans 2 nights this week.
Anyway, hope everyone is well and for any facing serious life challenges, I wish you all that you need to get through!
Hugs, Laureen

Topic: Good Monday morning...Hello vacation!!!
Today is day 1 of vacation #3. Now that it's a little cooler outside, I don't have to use the treadmill. My plans are to walk, and walk, and walk. 
Trying to increase my distance and speed.
With all the extra time I'll have, I'll be able to try out some new recipes; looking for that ultimate winner for another contest at work. Came in 3rd for my 3-bean Turkey Chili last time, but unfortunately, there were only 2 winners; 1 for originality, and the other for heat. If anyone has any ideas, all contributions will be gratefully accepted.
TTFN,
H

Topic: Long time no post...
Hello old friends,
Haven't been on here in a long while. Just popping in to check in on those that still post on here. I am doing well. Coming up on 3 years.. still maintaining. Have been training for my big trip half way around the world. Leave in a week. Never would have been able to trek halfway around the world before surgery. It is so exciting.
How is everyone out there?

Topic: RE: Weekend Roll Call
Beth, I have to play it by ear on the schedule. I arrive Oct. 2 but it is possible I will be having some facial plastics done on Oct. 4. So let's see how recovery goes. Mike and I leave to come back to FL on the 11th.
