Ok friends, I apologize for my absence the last couple of days and, when I look back, for not being around much the whole month of January so far. First, I had a 5 day pain flare after the holidays and I was barely over that when a stomach flu hit. I started Physical Therapy again last week. Then this past Monday I had a doctors appointment out of town. Yesterday our computers were down - some local line issue and NOW is about the only time I'm going to be around until tomorrow afternoon. Whew - did ya catch all that? Bottom line is that I miss all of you and see that you have busy already this week.

My husband and I are in week Two on our diet using the online Weight Watchers program. Now it is getting darn hard. But we have found some great recipies online and I'm even getting Mike back into the kitchen to help me cook - YIPPEE! Gee, I figure I have ONLY about 22 more weeks if all goes well - gotta keep positive .

HERE'S A QUESTION: How many of you take a day off from your diet to eat something not on your approved list? And, if so, how often do you enjoy these, "Days Off the Diet"? (I guess that was 2 questions.)

Wow - it was so much fun seeing all your pictures from the last couple of days - like I've said, you've been busy. I loved them all!

Billie - I am so impressed that you and Gaye are getting together for a face to face visit. That sounds like such a blast - I can just hear you two talking now. You better rest up - both of you!!! And take lots of pictures to share.

Well, have a great Wednesday, everyone. I hope to check back in after Physical Therapy tomorrow afternoon.

Happy Dieting,
