Hi everyone! Thanks for the warm welcome. I am three days out from my surgery and feeling better. I went to work today for about 5 hours and it was ok but I was about to collapse when I came home!

Is there another get together already set up? I definitely want to try and make it.

The Next meeting i think is set for the 8th of January, but no location yet. Any suggestions???

Is that a Sunday? or a Saturday? I don't know, we could try the bowling thing...or the coffee house thing...whatever you think would be fun. Maybe we should set goals to meet by the next meeting or choose topics or something to talk about...just an idea. I'm excited to see all of you again in the new year - 2006! Where does the time go? And Ann, so glad you're here and doing well 3 days out, it gets better everyday. Take it easy, don't push yourself too hard, and we'll see you in January!

Thanks girl, well I have been slacking but I am under a lot of emotional drama and stress right now - I'll tell all of you about it in another post, or at the next meeting. As far as exercising, I am just trying to do little things - stairs instead of elevator, parking far away - eating is good as far as no carbonation, and I am trying to eat better, I am doing ok, I just need to step it up. I still am taking my blood pressure medicine, I'm going to the doctor in a couple months for a check, meanwhile I check it regularly, and it's ok on meds...if I lose more weight maybe he'll take me off for a trial period. Brething is definitely better, along with back pain. It's just hard right now because I've always been an emotional eater, and noe I have turned into an emotional shopper. Good for the stores, bad for my bank account Anyway, thanks for letting me know someone's thinking about me and checkin up on me - I will try to do better!
