Thanks Besty. I do feel smaller after going thru my things and cleaning out a lot of old stuff that is now to big. I have never done that before.

The only thing is I am tired all the time. Not sure what is going on with that. I think that coffee is starting to upset me. I am going to try and cut back or maybe cut out coffee all together. I had better get it all together before our bike trip starting on Monday.

Everyone have a great Mothers`s Day. And do not eat to much.

Betsy & Barb, I've got to pass again on Tai Chi. It's the builder this time--got to meet with him this afternoon. This is just a busy month for me. I guess I better wait till after we get back from the Wedding in June before I try to start anything new. Hope yall understand.

Bikergrammy, I'm sure you've thought of this but just in case, have you checked for anemia?

OH Betsy I'm so sorry you were by yourself tonight. I didn't get out of class until after 5 and didn't get to Towsen until after 6. Had to beat it up 1960 for dinner with friends. I left a message for Lana because her number was programmed in my phone. I thought she was with you and then you would both know why I missed. I don't know if he would let me go on Saturday to make it up or maybe Friday night. I asked them when I signed up and they said yes so I guess I could just show up. How was it tonight? Did you remember what we learned on Monday? Again sorry.

I think the literature says you can make it up if it's during the same week. After class, he asked about you. I told him you had a meeting for work and you were going to try to get out early but it had been iffy.

It was wonderful. We started with breathing and stretching and then we did the basic routine. Then he had me over to one side and we did our same routine again, but this time we showed me the exact, I mean exact, placement of hands, feet, and body. Just those little enhancements really made it an all body workout. I felt stretched and lighter. It was actually pretty amazing.

There are only a few more moves to learn and then practice to get it exactly right, and we can pass the test to the next belt, in July! Lana, whenever you start, if it's soon, we could all pass together. That woman that was there last time told me what you do in the test, and it sounds like we can do it.

I also learned that when you enter and leave, you bow first to the flags, and second to the teacher. And that you stop whatever you are doing and bow to a black belt, if one arrives while you are there.

I really feel so good, relaxed, stretched and strong..compared to last time. (I also figure the outfit has a purpose. The sweating is good for me.)

Sorry you guys missed it. I guess it's one of those things that gets better as you learn more and flow more. Lana-if you want to catch up a bit before you start, I can show you.....

Sure would like to catch up. I would love for us to keep going together. and pass to the same level. When and how could we get together? Be thinking about it. We can talk tomorrow.

Barb, thanks for the call. I was out at the property till late. But I appreciate you were thinking about me.

My friends: Want to come over Sat morning and do Tai Chi by the lake? (Or some other time?)

[Betsyjane 2]

Half way home and totally stalled. I must be adding muscle mass.....:-)

[lanajane 0]

Betsy, do you really think you could teach me? I think I would like that. Are you sure about Saturday morning? Forty Pounds! WOW!!! You think you are stalled? It seems like you are moving pretty fast. I'm so stressed out right now, I probably need Tai Chi and OA.

[Betsyjane 2]

Well, it's not like we've gotten very far... Barbara and I are equally capable at the er, 6 or so moves we've learned.

Did they ever straighten out your bathroom plumbing?

Barbara-can you come help me catch up this laggard?

I think part of my frustration is that my stomach doesn't seem to be decreasing, and as other things do, it looks even bigger to me.

[barbara465 2]

I"m game for Saturday if we do it early. I have a 10 hair appt. It's just across the other bridge so I need about 15 minutes to get there. So 8:45 would work for me. Is that too early? The friday class isn't until 8:00 pm. I don't think i can make that so late and the class on saturday is at noon. so i guess i'll just lose a week. Our own makeup class would be great.

Just got home from Curves. Its not the same workout, but a workout just the same. You talk about stalled. I've been this way since Feb. I keep losing and gaining the same 4 lbs. I'm not weighing for a while and see if that helps. I find at night, dinner, I can eat too much. During the day I do OK, but night. WOW. I must be wide open.

Let me know about makeup class. Suzanne have a great trip. When you get back have some blood tests done. You might be anemic or have a thyroid issue. Its good to have it checked out.

[Betsyjane 2]

8:45 works for me, as long as I can be grubby..... Could you both email me at giddyyuppie@aol.com and I'll send you directions?

[Betsyjane 2]

I ain't wearin' the jammies Saturday!

[Betsyjane 2]

I was just reading the rules of the school, and we can't teach you without out teacher's permission. So Saturday, we will demonstrate what we've learned.
