Hi from Boston

Hello everyone,

I am on Day 3 here in Boston and things are going very well. I had a really nice visit with my Mom on Sunday and settled into the hotel for the week that night. I love this hotel – it’s the perfect amount of space for me and I get to pretend that I live by myself… with daily housekeeping service. What could be better - just the fact that I get to wear all of the “dressier” clothes that I don’t wear when working from my home office every day. Life is good, indeed.

 

Now here’s a little shameless bragging from last night. Although I got back to the hotel later than I planned, I was determined to exercise. I was so proud of myself – I did 30 minutes on the treadmill and even managed to jog for a little bit (strange, but true) when I got to 4.0 mph. And – get this – I did 10 minutes on the elliptical. For those of you keeping track, that’s double my 5 minutes from earlier in the week at home.  Now that is certainly still a beginner’s pace, but I was so pleased that I topped it off with 10 minutes of weight lifting. How about that?? I rewarded myself with a nice dip into the whirlpool afterward.

 

Today I’m having lunch with a guy that I used to work with at my old job. I have not seen him in a very long time, so I made sure to wear a dress that would make my hard work shine! I hope everyone is having a good week and I will check in again when I can.

Good am Mary, Totally stoked for you! Glad you're making great impressions and turning heads! TRUST ME you are! You're beautiful! Glad you got time with your mom and really enjoy the rest of your trip! Great job on the working out! Hugs.........................

Mary, You are awesome!  I hate the elipitical, but I am thinking about "trying" it again.  The first time I did about 4-5 min (I think) and thought I was going to die!  Hopefully this time I can do better...or at least not feel like dying.  Enjoy Boston and take some pics of those fab outfits. Tam

wow! Go Mary! You will certainly enjoy lunch today! He will probably not even recognize you! That feeling is so great! When you look at them with their mouth wide open in shock!! I am glad tou got the exercise in - you can do this! You are just doing so awesome!! Jackie

OMG!!! That's WOMDERFUL!! You should be VERY proud of yourself!  You RAWK!!!!

Hope you enjoy Boston and glad to hear that you are wearing your dressy clothes!

Our girl, Mary, taking Yankee-land by storm!  You go, sweetie!!!!  Too bad you're having lunch with your friend instead of dinner...you could really strut yer stuff in some sexy, slinky little number & really knock his sox off!  And you really do need to take fotos of your outfits...I loved the one you wore to the OH May event...hubba-hubba!!  Just have a terrific time & keep up the good work with the exercise.

Wow on the 10 minutes on the elliptical!  YEAY!  You're already getting over the starters hump.  :)  AND 30 min treadmill and a soak too.  You are doing great with the increased activity.  BRAVO! Have fun at your lunch meeting.  I'm sure he will be very happy for you when he sees you shine in that new outfit!!  WOOHOO!!

You are so awesome - out-of-state and still tackling that nasty elliptical machine! I can't wait to hear a report on how in awe everyone was of your great outfit. I agree - we want pictures!
