   I just love it that your family is showing great support for you. Sort of hard to cheat when the whole crew is watching your every move.  

   Here in Canada our stones are much bigger, so we call them rocks. (o.k. I already figured it out, and I am not funny) Haha at least I am trying. 

   I am so happy for you, what a great feeling to have broken a personal record. Keep up the good work. 

                                                    Love ya. Beverly 

   Gosh girl I really do think that you have said it. The all or nothing, I am sure that that is my problem. When I think of it, that is how I treat housework even. I never go in and just dust, I have to move every thing and rearrange as I go. Then I get upset when things get out of control. 

   Your light bulb moment seems to be shedding a whole lot of light out here for the rest of us. I will make a point of planning ahead to do a little work on me each day and practice the same on my house. Maybe our all or nothing idea is coming from our training (if something is worth doing it is worth doing right.) where we expect to see instant results of our hard work. 

   Now is a good time to admit that we are getting older and we are a little slower at things we do. However we are still young enough to know that we can do it. 

                                                                                        Love ya. Beverly 

   Oh it is so great to see a challange going again. I am in! I would like to get back to dropping at least 1/2 pound a week. Yes I know I can do better but hey, I haven't lost anything (weight wise) for about 6 months. 

   We have a large family reunion planned for the July long weekend and I was not going to go, however my kids sent in the reply that we would all be there. So I really, really need to get my butt in gear, I just hate being that fat relation when most of the others are all slim.  

   Dare I say that I too am a smoker and now would be a good time for me to quit. My house is the only place that I can smoke inside. Also I am the only smoker in my family. I can imagine all the comments that I would have to put up with, going out to B.C. in July with 10 nonsmokers. 

   Hope everyone is well on there way for this new goal. 

                                                                         Love ya. Beverly 

   I will have to look for your door another time. The reunion is at Cobble Hill on the Island.  

   Happy Challange day everyone, yes I remembered and have been up and walk done. Now to start with a glass of water then breakfast. 

   You all know that I work around food every day, so my biggest problem is " to sit down to proper meals". Our meal breaks are at wierd times and I am not hungry then, so by the time I get to eat I have again passed that hungry stage. At work they are getting really uptight about taking the breaks at the proper times. So once again I am back to missing meals. I will have to make a point of trying to eat at least a little something. Breakfast is at 5:30 A.M. Lunch 10:30 for both shifts and Dinner is at 3:30. So wish me luck. 

   Best Wishes go out to all of you that are having a bad time with things beyond your control. 

                                                           Love to all. Beverly 

Thank you for your statement. I too heard the womam say that she had been wrong. and noticed that Dr. Phil and the daughter treated her like she hadn't. I think Robin has a very peaceful  (Donna Reed type)marriage because Dr. Phil can rant and rave at other people during the day to get it out of his system. I truly feel that the mother feels extremely sorry for her part in the whole mess. Why else would she sit there and let Dr. Phile scream at her like he did, while the daughter sat with that smug look?

   I know that even in this day and age stuff is swept under the carpet by the Military. Spme times the member gets a promotion in order to get them off base, because nobody wants to deal with the problem.
