what to write?? I'm hanging in there. Slowly...(and I do mean slowly) losing weight. I never stay at one weight more than one day at a time but my weight range gets lower and lower. I've kissed the 230's good-bye. And it's even been over a week since I seen 225. The lowest I've seen is 222. I go on vacation June 22nd and I'd like to see some teens by then. I'm comfortable wearing some 15/16's and I ordered a size smaller in my polo's for work (from a women's 2XL to a misses XL) The things is it's going so slow that I'm not seeing the results. People that haven't seen me for awhile notice and when I look at pictures from last year, I can tell. But day in and day out, I feel like I'm not going anywhere. Yesterday, I did notice that I had more energy. After working 9 hours, I went shopping. I didn't get home till after 7. And still had the energy to fix something to eat, unload the car and putter around in the yard a little. I use to have to veg out right after work because I was so tired. Don't get me wrong I still have days like that.

Exercise.....(hhmmm what exercise?)
Excuses.....it's too hot and....well I can't think of any others.

Just haven't been in the mood to exercise. I really need to though. I want to look tight for vacation instead of floppy. Yes, I'm still fat and lumpy but exercise at least makes you feel tight.

Vacation....I'm going to Daytona, Florida. YEAH!! By myself for 4 days of total relaxation and no demands on my time. Sounds heavenly doesn't it. I was really thinking I wanted an exciting vacation where I'm out at the bars, dancing up a storm, and flirting....but after my long weekend in Charlotte over memorial day, I'm partied out. That was enough excitement for a few months anyway. I'm ready for a relaxing vacation. I plan to get up early each morning. Perhaps walk on the beach as the sun comes up and before it gets too hot. Go back to my room for a shower and maybe a nap. Spend all day on the beach reading and people watching. Late afternoon, get cleaned up and go to a nice restaurant for a cocktail and appetizer. Walk along the boardwalk and see the sites. Last time I was there they had entertainment on the boardwalk...fire breathers, dancers, and mimes. I also may meet an Internet friend of mine one evening for a meal. We're both a little leery. We're great friends (possibly more) online but don't know if meeting would ruin it. And....yes it would only be for a meal. We care a great deal about each other and don't just want a fling.

Well....I got to get out of here and do somethng other than play on the internet.
