Hi there, Anita,

If you want to, you can email me at karenjo246@yahoo.com.  I just set up that account for Dr. Phil stuff.  I usually answer email a couple of times a week -- could do more, but I refuse to be a slave to my computer!  I also answer my cell phone only if it's my husband or the school -- anyone else can leave a voicemail!

 

My weight loss has hit a plateau ever since that weekend out of town.  I'll gain one, lose one, gain one, etc.  Right now I'm ten pounds to the good.  I'm also doing more aerobic activity since joining the Y.   It's working out really well, since the kids are there for tennis twice a week and swimming on Saturdays.  That's my gym time now, and I'm doing better at getting there one or two other days as well.  I'm fortunate to have a job where I can work flex hours, so if exercise really matters to me, I can make time for it.  Easier said than done when the work piles up, but I've got to make this a priority.

 

How's with you?

Gertie

Glad you are still to the good side.  I was stalled for ages and since I've been seriously curtailing my spending, I've found I've cut out some of the extras and have started losing.  It is slow, but I am losing.  You might try jumbling up what you eat and see if that helps.  Think I'd eaten the same veggies for so long that my body didn't consider it food!

 

My son was just here at the end of last week and I must admit that I got off track.  There is still food in the fridge and I hate to throw it out.  My folks don't eat some of the stuff that we eat--like bagels, etc.  The bacon will go to them, but I'm left with pita bread and bagels.  Mmmmmm.

 

I know what you mean about not being a slave to your computer.  I'm on the computer all day at work and supervising kids on the computer, so I usually don't get on in the evenings. 

 

I'm still having a hard time getting to the gym.  We may have twilight school from 3 - 5:30 at my building.  If so, I might try to work one evening a week.  I could sure use the money, but can't afford more time than that.  Even that will wear me out.

 

Have a good day.  Oh, I'll send you an e-mail in the morning.

 

Hugs,

Anita
