Hi Everyone!

I have not posted here in a while, but I check in here and there. We have no computer at home. It kind of feels nice... don’t have the kids fighting over computer time. LOL Well I’ve maintained my 7 pound loss. I’m kind of stuck tho..The last time I went to the gym was 10 days ago... after I was doing soooo good. I just need to jump back in the wagon.. I also have not gone to meetings.. ..:-( I’m trying to eat healthy ...so that helps. I guess… Hope everyone reading this has a great day!

i have set my alarm so many times in the morning to get up to work out. .it just WON'T happen. I can't force myself to get up any earlier than I have to, EVER! I am trying to look at exercise in the afternoon/evening as an escape from the craziness. It's not easy but I have been trying to remind myself that I always feel better when I exercise, feel proud that I did it, and it's a nice little escape for "me" time. Thanks for the encouragement.

The beach! Lucky you. I wish we lived closer to the ocean.

Planning does seem to be the key. I do so good when I pay attention and plan.
Have a great 4th!

I wished it was as easy to just eat and go to her bday party afterwards but they live 2 hours away so I pretty have no choice but to eat lunch there as we'll have to leave here early.

Thanks Ericka, Your little boy is so cute. I have a 14 month old son myself. Do we get AP points for chasing them? LOL I wish! I go the lakes to swim because they're less crowded and not usually on main roads. I want as few people as possible seeing my extra wide self out there.

Ericka,
Thanks for the Outback advise. I ended up saving up enough flex points to have steak (a whole one) and dessert!!! YAY
Thanks again

Thanks for the kind words the other day-- the wedding stuff is going pretty well. Man, I've been an emotional wreck though. Just all these different emotions and stuff with my family. But I think we've got mostly everything taken care of for the planning. So wish me luck this next week as the F's millions of relatives fly in this week from all over the world!

Hey,
If you can't get the xls. worksheet to work, try enabling the macros...that worked for me

I'm glad you like it! Yes, we kind of have a theme- it's earthy, treeish... and our colors are navy blue and yellow-orange... kind of a weird combination- but it goes along well with Sri-Lankan color schemes. He was born there and his culture is very important to him- so I think it works well. My bridesmaids are wearing saris and his groomsmen are wearing kurthas. But him and I are wearing traditional American wedding clothes. So it will be really different looking. The day before I get to wear a wedding sari and it's beautiful!

Thanks for the good wishes for my interview. My wedding dress is ivory and looks kind of vintagey- it's long with a short train and has cap sleeves... they actually have it on the david's bridal website i think....Yes here it is: http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=2977&prodgroup=92

It looks better in ivory I think.
