Hi! I also, do miss seeing you here. That's pretty much an "of course" I guess, seeing how much care you have given us all.

I hope you're staying well and still having lots of fun in your summer. :)
 
You'll be proud to know that I'm now back home with full-time access to my computer. Forum junkie once again!! I really do think I was jonesin' there for a while... I kid you not.
 
Despite our best efforts to hide it from her, maybe she finally came to realize that she's way too classy for this place.
 
Just wanted to stop by and say Hi **waves**

Hope we can put the past behind us and move on. I'd love to have your support.

Don't know where've ya been, but I hope you come back soon...your an inspiration to alot of people here!
 
Hi Everyone :)

I am so sorry I haven't been around - I think my life has been so hectic, I've just been completely overwhelmed.

My house is a disaster, I have food rotting/science experiments growing in the fridge and it seems like I'm never home.

When I am here, all I want to do is vegitate!

Meg's summer swim schedule has changed, so she is practicing from 4-6 every day, which means we have to leave where ever we are at 3:30 to get there.

We've been leaving the house by 10 every day, which means if I want a shower, I have to be back from my walk by 9, which means I have to start it no later then 7:45.

I've been walking every day, about 5 miles, yesterday was 5.5 and sometimes it's just 3.5 depending on how much time I have in the morning.

The guitar playing is going great :) My fingers are caloused over and it no longer hurts but I've been practicing a lot. My online time in the evenings has been researching the songs we're learning, finding online tutorials etc.

My weight hasn't moved in awhile - seems no one's fault but my own. ;)

I'm sitting back at 175 and it's been steady there for weeks. I have to pack our food for the whole day and it's been pretty easy to stick some parmesean pita chips and cilantro/pecan dip in the bag ;) I found myself at Ruby's this week, and I didn't bat an eye when I ordered (and ate all!) of their BBQ salads :eek: Seems I need to get my focus back if I want to lose these last 20 pounds!

I have to say, I have been enjoying eating what I want/when I want and see the scale stay in one spot - I haven't counted a calorie in ages, so if nothing else, I have maintenance down pretty well ;) It's just not where I want to be yet, so I'm back to watching and counting those calories - I want these remaining pounds to be gone!

I hope you're all doing well, I have been missing you guys. The break has been good though :)
 
Nice to see you popping your head in -

now remember all fun and no fun is no fun - no wait -that made no sense..

take care of you and be sure to get some alone time where you can take carae of yourself - take a moment to breath and relax.. :)
 
Wonderful to see your post Debi! Sounds like you've been pretty busy. Sorry that you're feeling a little overwhelmed. Like Mal said, take time to breathe. It's great that you're keeping up with your walking. Good for you. Don't worry about the current plateau. A couple of weeks at the same weight is nothin! Just feel grateful that you're not going upward. You'll be shrinking again in no time.
Way to go with the guitar-learning. :) Soon we'll be calling you Debi Ray Vaughan! :D
 
Hi!! It's lovely to have an update from you and hear that all is going so well. Though you've decided you don't want to continue at maintenance it is quite an achievement to manage it at all. A tricky time. :)

It sounds like you're pretty healthy and will stay that way as long as you eat the food out of someone else's refrigerator. :) How exciting that you've made that progress with the guitar and are finding the band absorbing too!
 
Hi You Guys :)

Thanks for stopping by!

I've been feeling awkward, because I know I really don't have time to hit diaries much right now - life is swamped, and it's all good stuff, but time is limited!

The guitar playing is amazing, I've been loving it more then I ever imagined.

A group of my girlfriends and I just did this fun thing - we each created a cd of music that has touched our lives, or is in someway, very powerful to us due to memories, etc.

A lot of the songs I put on my cd were embarassing, in that, it's not just favorite music, but music that has special meaning - and well, those songs aren't always as "cool" as you'd think they might be while planning it ;)

One of the songs on my list, was on the back side of an old Helen Ready 45, it was Keep On Singing. As a kid, I loved that song, would perform it on stage (my bed with a sheet strung along a rope as a curtain) and it was about a girl, who by the time she was 10, had her own band. It took me 30 years to see the realization of that dream and it thrills me beyond belief.

We have our jam practice on Tuesdays for about 2 hours, then go to the park where the kids play and we practice at the park. Then on Thursdays, while the kids are in a basketball clinic and a Spanish class, we practice together. I'm also practicing for almost 2 hours each night while Meg is swimming - not counting the time at home spending online researching songs, sheet music, online lessons, barre chords etc. It's all consuming, but more rewarding then I thought imaginable.

You'd think I was too old for this, Bob keeps joking and asking me when I turned 20 instead of 40 ;) LOL! He said he loves having a sexy young wife! (I think I'll keep him!) :D

Anyhoo - I will hit diaries as I can, I've missed chatting with all of you, and keeping up with all that's going on in your lives. Summer truly is my "busy season" We still haven't started going to the beach yet! Meg is an avid boogie boarder and wants to learn to surf this year - but I'm not sure where we'll find the time ;)

More later,
d

I can totally relate to your story. Mine however evolved over 10 years and 3 c-sections. I use to be around 130-140 and I'm now at a whopping 240! UGH!

I just hired a personal trainer and start on Monday. We'll see where this takes me. *sigh*

You are right when you say others do not understand. The truly don't. I am new to this site, but I have already found that everyone is very supportive and understanding. I'm happy that people as nice as you are here!

Keep up the FANTASTIC work! I can't wait to say that I have lost a few pounds - or even as much as you! Wow!

Wishes,
"storm Girl"
