Hi ladies - Summery day in TN today. Had a good session with my counselor. Leaning seriously toward leaving hubby but taking it one day at a time right now. Work later. Hope to spend some time sorting and pitching before I leave for the Y. Meg - I thought I was dreaming that someone had a b-day so I looked back through the…

Hello all- Been a little AWOL. DS, DDIL, and DGS came by the Y to present me with a beautiful bouquet and lovely card for Mother's Day. We are making plans to get together to celebrate next weekend after they get back from a mini vacation with son's dad. Kate - Happy birthday! Welcome to you new ladies! Heather - loved the…

Hello everyone! Beautiful day here in Tennessee. Did my deep water class, ran errands, home for a tasty lunch and now relaxing before getting ready for work. Still overwhelmed about hubby issues. Kinda on autopilot and doing what makes me feel better. Happy birthday, Yvonne and Sharon! Missing Penny, Ginger, and Carey.…

Forgot to say I was down 3.4 lbs at TOPS yesterday!

Skipped a day and had to skim. Happy Birthday, Meg! DJ - so glad your daughter is home! Pip - Floyd looks great in his birthday suit! Dana and Janetr - sorry for your family situations. I am enjoying the before and after pictures and images of beaches, races, and yogis. Love to all Toni in Tennessee

Hello! Dreary, rainy weather continues in Tennessee - at least it is gentle rain and no flooding predicted. Thinking of you who are being threatened by flooding. Too cold for naked gardening here! Hugs for those hurting and high fives for those with NSVs and other successes! Love you, friends Toni in Tennessee

Hi there! Been to another deep water class. The teacher on Thursday loves doing all cardio so it was a great workout. My doctor is working on the prescription issue. Meanwhile I have 2 weeks of pills (paid for by insurance) Time will tell if they let me keep my sanity or not. Had a wonderful conversation with my son. He…

Hello friends, Beautiful day here in Tennessee. So sorry for all the flooding in Arkansas. Did y'all see the pictures of the snow in Kansas City the other day. Oh, my, such crazy weather! Had a quick discussion with hubby and found out our situation is worse than I thought. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. BUT while…

Lisa - forgot to say congrats!!! You'll do a great job!

Hello everyone- I am hanging in there. Did an hour of deep water aerobics which helped my mood tremendously. Saw my counselor. It was good to see her again but I'm left a little numb and "blue". I know she will help me sort all this out but right now I am feeling like an idiot! Beth - Hope you make it down to get that boy!…

Good evening friends Pip- I knew that was you! Dana - love the roses and more than that I love that you bought them for yourself! Enjoying Antiques Road Show now. Had a good study group session earlier. We are studying the geology of the National Parks. Today was about Yosemite, the red woods, and Pinnacle National park in…

Happy May Day, ladies - Barbie - thank you for keeping us going Missed my TOPS meeting today (not at all like me) I just had to sleep in. I have not been getting very good sleep since things kind of unraveled with hubby last Monday. Kind of disappointed because I know I would have shown a loss. Becca - we did May baskets,…

Hi there - Home from work early today. One of the other YMCAs in our area has a dance program for several girls (some with special needs). The are using our gym for a spring recital. They rehearsed today. So precious. There must have been about 50 dancers total. The girls came in their costumes for pictures. Lots of…

Happy Thursday, everyone! I've had a very productive morning (so unlike me lately): did a one hour deep water workout, quick trip into Ulta for mascara, took 7 bags of clothes/shoes to local thrift store. then home for a delicious healthy lunch instead of just odds and ends. I work later today from 4 to 9. Pip - One day I…

Had a lovely visit with my son. It's unusual for me to see just him. We went to a park in his neighbor hood and talked for two hours. I told him about my situation and he was so caring and concerned. I think he and I will draw closer during this struggle. Toni feeling very blessed in TN

Good morning ladies Dana - enjoyed your pictures! You are making great changes. Did you just recently join this group? I have been MIA for a month. Leigh - Terrific progress! 50 lbs! Has this been your loss just since January? Peach - Sending hugs to you. Sometimes not gaining is the best we can do for the moment. Heather…

I think Machka, Pip, Michelle, and Kelly should bottle their energy! They'd make a fortune! I'd save my pennies to buy some!

Hello friends. I am home from helping at school. I was assigned to proctor in a fourth grade ESL class. They took their math test and I swear no one was getting correct answers. Such a shame they are held to the same standards in math as the native kids. They might do computation okay but all the reasoning and application…

Sleepless night last night. So much on my mind. Not a good thing since I am proctoring for the achievement test this morning. Heather - so glad you got to take your trip. Lisa - It sounds like you're on your way to your dream. I visited a friend near Fayetteville earlier in the month. It is beautiful there. Thinking happy…

Lanette-Thanks for the giggle! Toni

Haven't been with you since the first week of April. Going through some major personal stuff. Hugs &prayers are appreciated. Starting new today. I'm sure I've missed a lot! TNTONI

Hi all - love only read through PG 2. I'm on a trip in Fayetteville, AR to visit with a dear friend who moved here last summer. Having a wonderful time!!!!!!!!!! She is 79 and having some dementia issues. It is such a joy to be with her, but I'm getting very little sleep. Hope I can stay awake for some site seeing today.…

Good morning friends! Loving the pics of Olivia, fur babies, and vacation spots (even Kelly's lovely kitchen beach). Heather - wonderful plans for the France getaway. Kelly - have a great trip Lisa - so sorry about Corey's wrist and your son's situation. My niece has struggled with this since her teens. She doesn't stay on…

Waaaaaaah! Behind again! Darnit! I really want to interact with all of you but I keep sabotaging myself. My main April goal will be to check in frequently and post all of the comments I compose in my head so you can hear them too! I am up to page 73 and WILL get the rest read while at work. Happy belated birthday, Barbie!…

Happy Birthday, Lenora!!!

Oops forgot to say Yeah, Leigh! You are doing great on your path to healthy!

Going to check in more often and not get too far behind again...... famous last words! I am going to have lunch with my friend. She wants to go to Mimi's Cafe. Fine by me. I have my salad planned out and will enjoy a muffin guilt free. Planned the rest of my day to stay under calories and still under 120 total carbs for…

Hi ladies - Welcome to the newbies. I hope you stay around. Margaret and Rita - Hugs and prayers are coming your way. Beth - Praying for your dad. Sharon - Happy anniversary! Congrats to all the losers out there! I seem to be bouncing up and down the same half pound all month. Trying to get back to better logging and…

I've been reading along all evening while I man the desk at the Y. Kim, so glad to see you back. (((Hugs))) Heather, I think you should do a cooking blog. I get a great deal of joy from all of your info even though I'm not a cook! Leigh (?), Love the Irish statue of Lady Liberty. Lenora, thanks for the facts about the…

Hi all, I have been reading along and just now got caught up! Just checking in quickly before a trip to the library and the store. Our cupboard is bare! So many are facing weather challenges... You are in my thoughts and prayers. It is very cold here but the snow we had on Saturday only lasted the day. So glad pi-baby is…
