Easy to take care of and I like some softness around my face. 10. Give us one really good tip about your exercise program. Find something or someone that motivates you. With me, it's training for walkathons or helping a buddy train. I feel that if I obligate myself to something, I don't want to fail myself or, more importantly, I don't want to fail my buddy or have her fail if I hold her back. So we push each other. I think a little competition is good for us.

1. The last book I read was The House by Danielle Steel. Its relaxing, not heavy, for summer reading. 2.

My favorite good food is fish, but I love low fat cheese. 5. Relax, and not do "have todo, things". 6. If I had 50.00 dollars, not to spend on myself, it would be my greatest joy to buy someone who could afford little, their hearts desire. 7. I am cleaned faced today and enjoying it. 8. Dressed down today. My favorite jeans, and figure fitting tee shirt and jean jacket. 9. Always cut my traditional chin legnth and natural dark brown color. When I reached my goal weight my plan was to wear it very short, cut in layers and sassy and a great classy red color suited for my skin tone and thats what I now have. And loving it. 10. I love my treadmill in my family room in a spot where I can see our large screen TV. Linda

1. What is the last thing you read? Did you like it? I'm reading a book called "Into Abba's Arms" and it is very good. 2. What is your favorite color? What does it say about your personality? Green - I'm not sure what it says about my personality! I love nature. 3. Who was the last person you kissed? Did you like it? My children (each of them on their forehead) - YEP, I loved it! 4. As a WLS Grad, give us your favorite "good" food you eat or favorite recipe. My fav. snack right now is dried aprocots and almonds. I'll get 4-5 dried apricots and 4-5 almonds and eat them together. It is SOOOO good! 5. What is one thing you will do just for yourself this weekend? Take it easy. Having serious back problems makes me have to stay resting when I can and it's hard for me now not having almost 200 extra pounds on me to just sit. So, I will take it easy. 6. If you had 50.00 given to you today, and you CAN'T spend it on yourself, what would you do with it? Get a movie or X-box game for hubby or kids. 7. Make up or clean faced today? Clean face - I usually only wear make-up nowdays if I'm going to church or on a date with hubby. 8. Dressed up or down today? Describe? I had an MRI done today so I'm wearing black exercize pants (the ones that are a little snug but like bell bottoms) and a red T-shirt that says "U.S. Navy NAS Whidbey Island" (where we're stationed right now) 9. Do you like long or short hair on yourself? Why? I like long hair because I think my hair is one of my best features. My hair is naturally curly and looks like I have a spiral perm when it's long. I just cut it short not too long ago because all of the hair I lost post-op started growing back so I had all of these short little stringy hairs all over. So I cut my hair to match them and will grow it out again. It was mid-back and now it's only at the nape of my neck. (as my pic shows!) 10. Give us one really good tip about your exercise program. Right now I can't do any because my back is killing me most of the time. Before I started having all of these issues I'd do 30-45 minutes of cardio in the form of elliptical machine, bike, or rowing machine then I'd alternate upper and lower body weights daily.
