What's going on?

I really liked it when we did a check in of some general what's happening in our lives stuff, so here's a new thread for it! I've been crazy busy for weeks now. This is nothing new for me, but as I continue to lose, I have more energy and I end up scheduling even more stuff. I continue to live right on the edge of exhaustion, but I'm getting way more done now. I've finally started dating again, which seems to be going pretty well. Actually, I have dates with two different people this week. It makes me feel as if I'm some sort of hot commodity all of a sudden. lol I spent the weekend in Chicago with date #1. I was able to walk for hours while shopping. I was a bit sore eventually, but it was dramatically different from how that would have been not very long ago. So... what's going on with you? Z

Hey Z, All kinds of drama here.... i left my partner of 6 years this week... it's a good thing as I haven't really been truly happy for some time, but it has caused a whole lotta drama. As for you and your dating... good for you, and you are a HOT commodity....(emphasis on the HOT) lol You look amazing! Have a great week ~Lori

Oh, Lori. I'm so sorry for the drama and pain that always accompanies change. At the same time, I'm so excited for you. What a great opportunity to recreate your life in whatever way pleases you most. Congratulations on being in the driver's seat of your life! Oh, and thanks Z

Thanks Z, i am very excited to move onward and upwards.

Damn it, I want to date Good luck with them!

Thanks, Rachel! And you know what, go get yourself some dates if you want them! Just being your smart, entertaining self ought to be having them at your feet, for real. Z

I have have been busy....and been plagued with computer issues. Laptop died, modem for DSL died...and my 5 year old desktop has been barely holding on.....In life things are O.K.....My Mom starts Chemotherapy next Monday......My weight has been stable I am waiting for the nice weather to get here I will then concentrate on losing again........so that is it...Russ and I are doing well......Hope things are going wekk for people here

Wow, Sean. That's a whole bunch of computer challenges! I hope that the chemo goes as smoothly for your mother as it can. I'll be thinking about you next week when the time comes. Z

Sean, Glad to hear you and Russ are doing well. I've been very busy at work and not had much time to be on the boards. My computer at home has died and is being rebuilt. I'm using my wife's but have to behave myself when I'm on it. Wish mine would hurry up and get back. I hate being good. LOL JM

I've been busy with continuing education. I kind of didn't pay attention and now I have to do a couple close together to get my hours. I got one packet sent in and the second is almost ready. I'm going to a three day in the Chicago suburbs this week (TH, FR, SA) and I'm not sure that I'll take my laptop. Sometimes when I take it I misbehave, like playing solitaire when I should be listening, so it might stay at work. Also, we are nearing the end of the school year for our students (mid April) so there is all the end of the year paperwork to do--ugh. I also have to have the plan for next year done by early July in order to be able to go on vacation, so even though classes are over, there is lots of work to do. I'm at a stuck place with my weight loss but it's giving the skin a chance to catch up. It feels like I am losing inches because clothes are looser, so that's good. Hope everyone is healthy and ready for Spring! Connie
