Hey Buddies
feeling better Thanks! last of cold is in my head--should clear out soon--
My time at the office seems to breeze by now--not too long ago I remember watching the clock and counting the seconds--now I leave, may stop at the market, walk the dog--enjoy watching the sun go down again--worried about my stage tho--back to just not hungry--all I can do to get 2 meals a day down--want to avoid putting my body into starvation mode--but dang--just don't feel like eating..
Think it's these Balloons..looks like it's the rack for me...

did better today than yesterday on the gym....
Monie--Hot Air!?? I'll have you know I have the Snake down to an art!!
my poodle may look like something from a horror movie..but soon it will look like a dog...well at least "my" weight bench was exactally where I left it under 100 pounds of papers, mags and a mountain of clothes!

hey--Thank-you! would have never done this without your example!
Mike--you may need to be careful trying Balloon animals--emergency room full of people who took it to lightly--think of it as Ninja training! start with the "Ball" or "pear" shape.....
Elsie--bet your having a great time! Cauliflower pizza for everybody!
awesome recipe! --scarlet--once a week at our house! me and the wife like everything but the kitchen sink on ours--daughter likes the (gag) goat cheese and tomato topping---
Val--great you figured what's going on with baby! so much relief just knowing..let life flooooow..things are working in your favor in the long run!
Bet BF will hear your little voice in his head and even eat well on the road!
and soon you'll be an RN! what a great goal!!
Andie--one of your biggest inspirations and motivator's is back in your arm's!! and great news about DH!--went to a family reunion sunday--they haven't seen me in years..not when I was 280..and not now--so heard the "gee..you got big"
and "you should think about a diet" ----life is funny...
A warm welcome to a new Buddy!!!

Turtle--your commitment and your motivation and goals are so welcome here! and we will help keep you inspired and on coarse as best we can.
I started 5 weeks ago and now my wife is here and our daughter is here also--they are both on their 9th day of induction....
We went to the state fair last weekend--a place where we used to eat every second of the 2 day event---this time we packed our lunch..pulled up a picnic bench and enjoyed and congratulated ourselves! then of coarse we set fire to the fried twinkee stand and the fried dough and funnel cake stand.
