I took these pictures Sunday morning. The fog had just lifted and there was dew on everything. I know they are kinda creepy but very pretty.

That's funny, because I think Jane & Judy would say the same thing. LOL.

Well, last night I started a new journey. I am now taking Tai Chi lessons. Yup, me taking Tai Chi. And I love it. I left there really sore, feeling it in my shoulders and arms. I went home and did a few things and than went to bed. Slept all night. Didn't even wake up to go to the bathroom. I woke up before my alarm went off. Weird. I do remember dreaming but I don't remember what it was all about. I woke up so refreshed. Went into work and worked out like a dog. It just felt so good. Don't know what this feeling is but I do hope that it doesn't go away. So far this is keeping me motivated. And moving. I love it. Went to the movies yesterday. Saw "Mama Mia". I really liked it. I wish I could sing. So, the lady I went with is a lady I met at Weight Watchers. She has no clue as to me having a band. That is one thing that I have told only to my instructor and one other girl. I told my leader because I needed to be up front with her. The other person I told because she is in my exercise class. She was tellig me one day that she had had surgery also. She had the RNY done years ago and had lost over a hundred pounds. She found in the last year or two that she was slowly regaining her weight back. So she chose to go back to weight watchers. She is doing wonderful. She has been very supportive of my decision to not tell people. First I don't think it is anybody's business. Second I have been in the class when they have brought up the subject of surgery, WOW, are they mean or what. They just don't get the fact that I had reached the point where I needed more than just a support group to help me reach my goal. I have dieted many times and did good but than fell back to my old ways. Having the band was not an easy decision for me. I gave it months of thought and research like crazy. I even went to several seminars before I made the final decision. My husband even went to a seminar with me. He say what the whole thing was about and he even jumped on my side. He is my biggest supporter. My family is also a big help. Although my younger sister forgets sometimes and buys me things I should not be having. Dairy Queen. But you know it is still my decision to eat it or not. Now if I can just get my mind in the game. Course if I had, I would be at 170 pounds by now. So at this rate it looks like probably another year and I will be there. Would I like to be smaller and a real tiny waist, you bet. But unfortunatly I am a big bone person. I never will be a super model or TV star. But you know what? that's just fine with me. I actually only want to get where I'm comfortable. I want to know that I can sit on the floor and know that I can get back up with out hurting myself or having to ask people to help me up. I would love to go sit in out in the yard with my kitties.Right now I sit in a chair and they rub up against my legs. Think how happy they would be if I was sitting on the grass and they could rawl all over me. I signed up for the "Walk from Obesity" walk/. I'm really excited about this. I love to walk anyway. I may even see if the Hubby wants to come with me. He hates the Plaza so we'll see. I know another person that will be there. I'm looking forward to meeting some of the other people that I see on-line. Most of them I would be meeting if I went to the monthly support meetings. Unfortunely I seem to always have to work on those Saturday's. I'm hoping soon that when my boss hires a new person that they will take my Saturdays for me. Than I can start to go to the meetings. I have been to about 3 of them and they are wonderful. Now I just need to start going to more. Ok, I'm done now. I'll check in again and update my Tai Chi adventure.

TracyKS, Love the T-Shirt...Isn't that where David Cook went to school? LOL LOL LOL

Finally got my Sis to download the pics from Saturday night. Here we are.

Good Morning. Went to my first Tai Chi class last night and loved it. I was so sore when I left but it was a good sore. I am really looking forward to going again next week. I'll doing my practicing this week, hope I can remember all the poses he showed us. I have a long day today. Work for 7 hours than going over to mu Sisters to take her shopping and visit for awhile. Everyone have a great day. Oh, and I'm receiveing checks in the mail for my "Walk from Obesity" walk. It makes me feel so good to know that I have a lot of people supporting me and having faith in me. I feel special.

Mama Mia, here go again. Loved the movie. Meryl Streep is a pretty good singer. I joined a class today and tonight is my first one. For the next 10 weeks on Thursdays, I'm taking Tai Chi classes. A friend of mine told me today that she was taking it so I called and they had an opening. I'm really excited about this.

Kat, That is awesome about Rick. I'm sure you guys were both relieved about it. I was just getting on to let you know that I had mailed a package to you. They said it would get there Friday. That's good you got it sooner. I will be sending everyone one so when you all get together in June you can all wear them and take a pic for me. That way I kinda feel like I'm with you guys. Let's see, Judy, Jane, TracyKs and Kat are taken care of. Now to work on the rest of you. Geting ready to go take a shower. My friend and I are going to go see "Mama Mia". Neither one of us have seen it yet. Great, Popcorn time!!! Have a great day and I'll be back soon.

TracyKS, Congrats on the PS info. I still have a ways to go before mine so I too will live vicariously thru you. Good Luck.

Last night after we got home from our shift at the hospital, I went to go in and change my clothes. Well' I noticed that one of my rolls is missing. Now I just need to get rid of the last remaining few I have.

Can someone explain the "Dawn" dish soap thing to me??

Bad Food Day going on here. Bad, Bad, Bad. Awful. :girl_hug: :thumbup: :wub:

Judy, Has anyone ever told you how much you look like Marcia????? LOL

I'm coming out. I'm in love with........................................Marcia Brady.

Janie,,,,,, SHOE REPORT.

Jane, Glad to see you got home. Did you make it in time for the visitation? I'm really sorry for the loss. Got home from work and am dog tired. Gonna kick my feet up for a little bit and watch "DWTS".

Welcome back to Us, Haydee. You were missed. I met up with Jane today for lunch at Bob Evan's here in town. We had a great visit but to short. She had to get on the road so that she could stop at the Odessa Outlet Mall on the way home. Seems there is a shoe store there. HUH!!!!!! Anyway, she got a call last night that a good friend of hers died. I'm sorry if I get this wrong but him and his wife live in the same complex and they had noticed that he hadn't come home but didn't think anything of it. So the next day some kids in the neighborhood found his car with him inside. He had had a heart attack. I think she said that he was 54 years old and that he had been complaining of nit feeling good. She was pretty upset and wanted to get home to go to the visitation tonight. I'm sure she'll post when she get home. I'm off to work here pretty soon. I did good at my weigh-in this morning. I lost 2 lbs. Yippeee. Have a great evening.

Good Morning, or so I hope it will be. I have weigh-in this morning and after the Caniloni's Saturday night!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, we'll see. I sent out some e-mails yesterday and last night I checked my sponsor page and I had a donation. How cool. Somebody has faith in me. Besides my hubby. I think I'll try to put up a collection jar at work and see what I can get. Jane is leaving today. She said lasat night that she turns her computer on and the power turns off. She said sometimes she has enough time to check to see if there are any important e-mails. So she will check in when she gets home. Everyone have a great day.

TracyKS, Did you pass out today at your Mom's appointment? I'm hoping all went well. I'm going to look into some kind of hat or tiara's or something for our walk. How about boa's? What do you think Jonahtan would like to wear????

Jenn, Make sure you keep going back till they know what is going on. Bleeding for no reason is something that needs to be investigated. Stay on top of it. Keeping you in my prayers.

The one for Pam is this weekend. Palm Springs, CA (2008) - Home

Looks like the girls have a walk in Houston coming up. Houston, TX (2008) - Home

Just talked to Jane a little while ago and she went to Lawrence yesterday and today she went to the "Legends" in Tonganoxie. She's on the hunt for shoes. If all works out ok, I will meet up with her tomorrow for a little bit before she heads home. I'm gonna try and go see her sometime in the next few months. I enjoy her company alot. She's a sweetie.

Tell Haydee to season the ribs than take one onion and slice it thick. Lay those slices on the bottom of the cooker and put meat on top of them. Cook for about 4 hours and than pour BBQ suace over and cook for about another 3-4 hours. Yummy.
