Hey, you just keep on jumpin', ok? I really appreciate it. I don't know that there are that many people around that really know how that feels, why it's so important to me, how hard it is to let it go and walk away because it's really the right thing to do sometimes. On the other hand, maybe there are *tons* of people who understand that, just with somewhat different particulars than mine. There are plenty who have it harder than me, and that just makes me feel like the last thing I want to do is whine that it's hard sometimes. Hugs, Donna E. www.teklawgirl.biz

Kudos to you! I am NOT an early morning person. I prefer my workouts in the evening. Usually right after work. There is no way I could get up, go to the gym, come home and get two girls off to school and myself off to work. But it sounds like it fits perfect for you! I am impressed. Earl is LUCKY he has a great gym where he works, so whatever he doesn't get in at the gym in town, he finishes up at work on his lunch breaks. As for tylenol pm, man that benadryl in it gorks me forever! Earl takes benadryl once in a while to help him sleep and he seems ok with it, I just walk around like a slug all day. Today is my break day, and unfortunately I am not going to get my training in tomorrow. Which is driving me nuts, but I had committed to speaking to a group at OSU about wls. Just an informal q&a session that I do for the Living Well classes. It's really neat. But, the timing is not good and I have a horrendous day at work tomorrow, so I am sure I will not be in a good mood by the end of the day. Oh well, I will pick it back up on Thursday.

AMEN!! It took me 35 years to start to figure that out, and I am really working on doing that still. You know "I wish I knew now what I didn't know then" is so true. But, I think our life experiences define who we are. They can either make or break us, and I am too stubborn to be broken!

Boy do I ever know how to use it! I tend to tell it like it is, so I apologize to anyone and everyone in advance...I can get a little colorful at times, but I will keep it to a dull roar so as not to cause any problems for the moderators!
