Glad you're doing okay, Judy, it's stormy and humid here, my day went awash when my lunch date finked out on me over some silly medical emergency, the nerve of her! We switched to early dinner, but I got too tired. I love summer, but it just saps the daylights out of me!

My butt hurts. My bot foot training is tons of fun and yesterday we put it into training mode for a battery of exercises. It was really fun to move so much and I might have overdone it just a tad. I have discovered a pair of gluts down there, ouch!

The mini-muffin top is still hovering over the belt line, but not so obviously as before.

that's exciting about your bot cindy. i'm glad it's going well.
now it's time to train your butt too.

my friend called me last nite and tonite. wow.
did i tell you guys he e-mailed me again and we started talking.
we'll see. i'm just letting it unfold.

i've laid low this wk/e. just doing ADL's around the apt.
my back feels loads better and i can't get over how good my legs/feet feel.
every day i pray it lasts. the dr went to his conference this wk so i hope to hear something soon about the opinions.

i could go out tomorrow but it's very hot here and i'll probably stay in.
tues-fri i have to be out so time enuf to get hot.
i've got my cooling collar at the ready.
i may have to shave my legs and put on my one pair of shorts. horrors of all horrors!

LOL, Judy, sounds like someone is ready to go the kimono route!!

I hear you on the heat, it is very oppressive here on the west coast (of MI), the lake carries an extra dose of humidity that seems to hang so heavy in the air. My strategy is to go on split shifts. I've been rising at 4:00am, napping through the heavy heat, then staying up through the more comfortable eves. It's hard, but, no worse than trying to fight it.

I discovered that the muffin top isn't muffing as much, yay!!!

Hey all! I updated about Jim on the good news thread! Good news indeed! A few bumps in the road but overall he's doing mighty fine.

I am thinking we live in a sauna Sox. The heat is really limiting what we can do and that sucks the life out of us. Jim's been invited to be in a vet tent for the big 4th of July celebration here in town. 11:45-2pm. I sure hope the weather is cooler than it is now or he wont be going. For almost five years we've missed any day activities for the 4th due to the heat but nights are cool.

Judy, how's your friend doing? Any plans to go out yet?

not yet sandy. things seem to be off again. and i find myself being relieved.
i don't think we would have clicked.

i'll check out the thread to find out about jim but sounds like good news.

cin...glad about the MT. you're wise to not fight the heat. sometimes i go to the grocery store at 0800. but, it's in the 90's here all wk. i'm staying in as much as i can but i have appts the rest of the wk.

i'm cracking out my sleeveless tops. i don't care what i look like when i'm hot.

i thought my pain dr had already gone to the conference but it's this wk.
the benefit to my legs from the shot cont's but that little pain in my left back when i bend is still there.

PT soon. i'll check in later.

Schools out for the summer, I will be a busy Sox! The kids are happy
the heat is heading our way, it really hasnt felt like summer yet.

Im glad everyone is doing so well. Im hoping if I just keep up with the
healthful eating, I will be so busy, I have to lose weight.lol

i'm still walking and i've been trying hard. i've had tons of food triggers all of which i've successfully avoided.

tomorrow i have an am appt and then nothing planned til next wk.

my friend called last nite and is going to call again today.
i think we'll go out for a drink this wk/e. yikes, does that mean a date?

can't believe june is almost over. is fall here yet?

JUDY!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is GREAT NEWS!!!! 6 pounds!!!!! You go girl!!!!!

Kudo's on the date too. haha

Good job, Judy! Keep on keepin' on!

Hey, it's okay to have friends who are guys, ya' know! Even if it doesn't turn out to be Hollywood movie material, a great friend is hard to beat (especially if you can't catch him/her).

I just went out to dinner with my friend's husband— she was running way late so I said to him, "Her loss, let's go!" It was good too, and tomorrow when she & I have lunch, I'll rub it in.
