    Talking about catching colds or worse things from students or kiddos, it does worry me. I have built up some immunity and is so important to eat right and exercise to stay strong. I bet I would be walloped if I were in a situation like machka, I don't know how you handle an ever changing international student population.

    Unfortunately, so far, I "handle it" by just getting sick every year. My husband made the comment the other day that ever since I started taking classes at the university, I get sick each semester. He put it down to stress, and that might contribute, but I suspect that being crammed into classrooms with 100+ people who have just arrived off flights from all over Asia might have something to do with it. All you need is one who picked something up somewhere ...

    The other thing is that quite a number of my coworkers travel for business or personal reasons. I came back from Canada via Sydney in mid July, and I know there have been others who have been over to the mainland through the Melbourne or Sydney airports. Those are busy airports, and again, all there needs to be is one person carrying something ...


    BTW - it's 10:20 pm down here on Wednesday night. If all goes well, I'll be going to bed in a couple hours. :)

    Terry in VT, Welcome to a terrific group of supportive, encouraging ladies. I'm now 67 (68 in November). I lost 125# almost four years ago using bariatric surgery as a tool. I know exactly what you're talking about and going through. Yes, I have some baggy skin, but not anywhere near as bad as I was fearing. I have ugly legs and arms and had not worn shorts nor short sleeves in years. So actually my clothes really cover up everything I don't want seen. I too hated exercise, my knees were horrible. Since the weight loss I have had both knees replaced and can truly say I don't mind exercising. I've made it a habit, includied in my daily routine. I'm retired and I realize working a job does tend to present a challenge time wise. It sounds like you have made a life changing decision and moving forward with your plan. This is a healthy lifestyle, not a diet. Hang in there and hooray for you. Come back often and get to know us and us you. :)

    Oh goodness, I was talking to the boy just yesterday about needing flu shots. Sorry to hear you are under that flu.
    In Oklahoma traveling? Eat salsa at Mexico Joe's if you go to Stillwater.
    Paula-diabetes is nasty. Do what you must to beat it.
    Howdy all. Off to mow-what else do I ever seem to do. No clouds here but forecast said THUNDERSTORM. Ha, we will see.
