Missing, but very much in action!
Good morning to all you fine ladies (and gents!) I used to converse with on a daily basis!
I hope you're all well. I have read some of the posts, and a few of you are struggling. Few things are as challenging as the battle over food and exercise.
I have been SO busy I haven't had time to check in much. Still going strong, still doing the good things that keep me healthy.
I want to encourage those who have "fallen off the wagon" or are exceptionally discouraged with themselves that you are WORTH forgiving and loving and working on. So forgive you, love you, and work on you.
I met an amazing woman from Texas, Kelly Stallings, in Anaheim this past week. She writes and speaks about the mental aspect of weight loss and control. Really a little firecracker! We had a great time, as 12 people gathered in our small hotel room and enjoyed shakes together. What fun. CRAZY, but fun.
Anyway, just checking in. I miss the banter here, and hopefully things will slow just enough to allow me to hover once in a while. I posted some pictures from our Anaheim trip, as our dear Chellelynn was along. It's so awesome to meet someone from CyberSpace in person!
Take care, and feel free to scope out the new pics!
Oh, and Neecee - Remember that I was struggling with going above my goal? No more, girl. You'll have to read my blog!

So nice to hear about your busy life, Ruth. I am impressed with how you maintain a weight I only vaguely remember from my 20's ;)
Did you avoid that Brigh****er tunnel collapse? hopefully you are further east than it was.
Can you believe it's getting hot again! I'm in the process of getting a mini-split heat pump so next year I will have air conditioning! with all the rebates and tax credits and low interest low from the PUD I had to go that way. My kitchen remodel is done, all but the backsplash tile and that's all mine. My low energy has really gotten in my way.
The only good news is that I have not gained anymore weight (tho I'm far from goal, sometimes staying the same is a triumph) and I have not lost my job yet!
Drop by the board once in a while there are lots of folks here that need the support.

Thanks, Jan!
I didn't even know about the tunnel! We live in Bothell, but working from home I miss a lot. Not that I mind! :-)
I am working with an amazing woman here in Bothell that has a spa just for women. I'll send you a private note about that!
You are right - a holding pattern is far better than heading too far the wrong direction. But where there's life, there's hope. I am a firm believer in that.
Life tastes amazing!
Take care, and look for a private msg!
