Hey! I'm finally checking in... as promised. Glad to hear Dad's okay, and you knowing I'm praying for gpa. I'm so jealous, I wanna go to the concert!

I'm thinking we should switch our goal to 10 pounds lost by Christmas... or by when we take our picture with Santa which is long overdue. Then definitly Disney this summer. You better start saving, because we're going. I'm having withdrawls!

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hi Jen,

I am so happy to hear that your dad is feeling better. I think the album is a great idea for your gpa. Have fun at work today surrounded by all the princesses. Just wait until tomorrow when they are all hopped up on sugar. I never would want to be a teacher on Nov. 1st.

Take care,
Beth

Hi guys--

well grandpa loved his album--my mom took him the album thursday night..We got some news about him as well. They didnt do chemo this week and will be doing tests on Monday as they believe the cancer has spread..If it has, they will stop chemo..Things just arent looking good.

Last night, i went to a coworkers house and we decided we ar tired of being the weight we are. Starting Monday we are going to start exercising 3x a week, eating g ood, not eating the kids junk food from parties or snacks--NOTHING. Since we are in the same room we will be able to stop each other so i hope this helps...i really want to lose this weight before the cruise just have been so lazy because of everything going on..hope this helps!

Tonight i am going out to dinner with family friends for a birthday and tomorrow is FOOTBALL!!! BIG football game the eagles vs cowboys so ill be up quite late tomorrow!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey girl. Sorry it's been a while since I've "stopped by". Guess since I talk to you almost daily, I don't come here.

Sorry to hear about gpa. Please keep me posted. Glad to hear dad's going back to work. I bet that makes everyone happy.

It's great to have a partner in your quest to lose weight. It always helps to have someone else going through it with you.

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hey Jen,

I am sorry to hear about your gpa. I will continue to pray. I am glad he like the album. he will probably be spending lots of time with it.
It is awesome that your coworkers are going to help support you in your healthy efforts. That support will really make a difference.

Take care,
Beth

 

[Caitsmama]

Hi Jen, Sorry to hear about your grandfather.. I know it's hard..

And congrats on your new "pact" with your co-worker. That should help give you the support you need.. it's always easier with a friend.

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hi Jen.

I just wanted you to pop in to tell you I am thinking about you.

Take care,
Beth
