Cool breeze Wed. Roll Call

Hi all,

Today is another nice day.  I am not looking forward to the cold. Yesterday I found out I may  not get an extention on my class so I am wondering what will happen.  Also, had a good meeting with my VR counselor.  I have to  make a decision soon as to what route I want to take.  I'd prefer the healthy one.  Convincing my hubby is another matter.  So, I have some emails and calls to make today.

What are you up to?

Hi, I've always been a stress eater but since the surgery I have worked hard to change that. I do have a small ulcer now though. LOL So, I'm dealing with some work stress and trying to work through it without eating. Every day after surgery has been a new experience and I'm learning to enjoy learning myself.

I've been watching this show this week and LOVE it. It's all about helping people with weight loss goals.

I am so excited this week. I have started a walking circuit group here at work. I will be leading it on Tues, and Thurs. I was so suprised by the over whelming number of people interested in this program. I felt it was a good idea for stress relief and over all well-being of the staff. Thank God the super intendent agreed.
Not only will I be helping the staff but it will add an hour twice a week to my workout schedule.
On a not so exciting front, I have gained 6 pounds this last month with no changes in my diet or exercise. I am wondering if this is the "bounce back " they talk about. Either way it is freaking me out!!!!!!!.

Hope you all have a great week

Sorry about the weight gain. Anything over 5lbs and i freak out as well.

Congratz on your new workout class at work! Isn't it amazing how much a person can change over time? A couple weeks ago I walked a 1 mile Fun Run on a Saturday. I think back to my past and the thought of that would have been out of the question.

So far today has been great! It was so nice out this morning I forced DD and I in the car for a last minute park workout. There's a little rest area at the park. I got some healthy foods, put down a blanket, had a little picnic while she ate and played in the sand. It was so peaceful. After that I got the stroller and got in a solid 30 minute walk. I guess people don't think the weather is nice because I had the park to myself for 2 hours!

I'm off to the gym here shortly then a Halloween festival at church. Feeling so blessed today.

Today was another busy day!  Got up early for a 2 mile run.  Getting geared up to run the Monster Dash in Raleigh this coming Sunday...fun, fun!

And today is my surgiversary so there are lots of feelings coming up remembering where I was this time last year...of course at this time of day I was on the pain pump!! lol

Are you dressing up for the run?? LOL!

We are having a Monster Dash run here as well. I wish I wasn't working during that time. I would do the 1 mile Fun Run. I did my first one of those a couple weeks ago and really liked it!!

It's shocking how much a person can change in a year, isn't it??

I am dressing up for the Monster Dash.  Hopefully there will be pictures! lol  I'm going as a bumblebee.  This time last year I couldn't have run to the end of the driveway!  The changes have been absolutely amazing!

You've got to post a pic here if you get one! You are such a inspiration to us!!!
