Shocking Right? Still Lovin the BAND

Well I am fast approching 11 months with the band, lost 3 1/2 lbs this week! Yeah! Hope I can keep it off.

 

I am just now getting to eat on a regular and planned basis again. We have put 185 out on the Beaches in South Walton County, getting another 200 ready to go to classes. I learned today that we will need 35,000 people to do this cleanup, at best we have 6,000 ready to go!!!!Shocking Right?

 

It is going to be a long road back to recovery but I believe we will make it! We must, we have to. Our beaches are (were) so beautiful. I hear that they are removing the carcasses of dead sting ray, porpoise and shark and fish off the beaches at night so no one sees that, they are being brought in with the evening tide.:thumbup:

 

I am so glad I took a relaxing trip to Alaska before returning home to this devastation! But now we have to roll up our sleeves and work!:)

 

IN one month, it will be a year with the band, and you know it just seems like yesterday to me sometimes now! I am so happy to feel better and I am more confident that I look better and my clothes fit better. But with all this work, I am missing the Gym!!!!:cool2:

Hi Ms. Janet! I think you look GREAT! And I'm so so sorry to hear about the devastation this mad oil spill has caused those once beautiful beaches. I can only imagine what it would look like to see that in person. And the work that it will take to clean it up, well, just terrible that it's not a quick fix. Just wrong for them lil creatures who depend on fresh ocean water to survive too, poor things. But THANK YOU and thanks to all the people who are putting forth the effort to make a difference.

And good for you on your 3.5lb weight loss this week. That's awesome! Hope all else is well and read you around in the forums!! =o)~

Thanks all, the work starts tomorrow!! Finally after hiring and getting organized, our company is hitting the beaches to remove the contaminated sand from our beaches! It is a sad time, but what has been done is done, and all we can do is take BP's money and Clean it up. Thanks for all the sweet compliments from all of you, I am going to have to stop and take some updated photos, Well when I hit One year, I will get a photo shoot to celebrate, We must Band Together (Pun Intented)!
