Good morning, y'all. Just finished doing my O! for the weekend. Water and food have been pretty good lately.

How nice to see you back, Lois!! (thanks for letting us in on who is it, Tammy) I hope you have great results!

I had an e-mail from 2B recently and I hope she'll join us again soon.

Keep us posted on those puppies, Susanna!!!

Hope ALL of you have a wonderful weekend!

Hey all,

It's great to come back and see so many familiar names. I've O'ed off and on since the last time I posted here, which I know was a LONG time ago, but haven't had success sticking with it, or anything else. Even though I'm pretty much back at square one weight wise, I'm still grateful to have had O! to come back to each time I was ready to try to get back on track. I'm looking at each attempt as just one more step towards making permanent changes.

I've been gradually getting back into the swing of things over the last month. My diet is better, and I'm Oing again (3 times a week) along with resistance training and aerobics. It's always a good feeling to know I'm giving my body what it needs.

It's nice to be here again.

What a pleasant surprise to see you here again, EmBe!!! Welcome back and I wish you well as you get back into things!

EmBe! So nice to see you back! Welcome

I am guilty of dropping in once in a while and trying to stay current with posts but I failed to post. Sorry ladies, I just haven't been consistant with the O!
I think I need a nudge.

Welcome to the newbies. This is such a nice place to be.

I'm going to try to be here everyday from here on out.

Happy Weekend!!!

I am in the BEST mood right now. I was stressing over having our taxes done this morning (convinced that we'd have to pay again this year), but surprise -- we're getting a refund! What a relief!

I worked with a new voice student this afternoon (trial lesson); she did a fabulous job and will be returning for more! Guess what? I told her about O! and its wonderful benefits and demonstrated the technique; I think she's going to order and may even be posting here soon! I've done my good (gO!od, LOL) deed for the day!

I haven't O!ed yet today -- stayed up way too late and woke up way too early -- but will aim to do Level 3 this evening.

See you all tomorrow!

gO! gO! gO!

By the way....

Welcome back, EmBe!!

And Jeans, consider this your nudge!!!

Happy Saturday!

Thank you so much, Kelly, for your comments and helping me to feel welcome here. I do remember your name from the last time I was here! I had fun with the KOBAS signature when I was here last. I tried using Lois as my username but was informed that my name was already in use here. I love the "smiling" part of O! and knowing that "laughter" is also a good way to intake oxygen! Tammy is so much fun and really has a gift for sharing JOY and laughter!

I tried to O! this morning but was unable to complete 30 reps. I hope to walk outdoors today and I hope to finish up with more O! reps tonight. I wish you all great success!!

UPDATE: I'm so glad that I'm able to edit my posts. lol I walked outdoors today for 30 minutes. It was great! I really appreciate the welcome notes from everyone. Hope you have a great night! Take care!

Happy Saturday to each of you!

I did my oxycise this morning and walked 30 minutes, too. The sun is shinging and it is a beautiful, cool day in Dallas.

KOBAS (Lois), welcome! It's exciting to see so many new members. I'm pretty new myself.

Have a blessed day!

Oopppsss... I had Friday's page up when I posted so my today's post went there. Ellen

Hi, Buddies! I've not done O! for quite a while. Been going through "the change" and feeling very lethargic. No pain or suffering, just can't get myself to do the 15 min. of oxycise. So, tonight I got my 2 youngest to go with me for a mile and half walk (they rode bikes) and I'm feeling pretty good. Who knows, maybe soon I'll be able to report that I'm back letting O! work it's miracles.

Have a wonderful, energetic (or relaxing if you want) weekend!

Jennifer

Just had to let you know that the puppies were stillborn. There were only two, and Smoky's just so despondent that she won't leave them, or doesn't even care if we come and see her. I feel sad for us, but so sorry for her!!!

I couldn't go to sleep last night, so I got up and did my O! Then I slept. That's my first sticker for April.

Welcome back EmBe and Jennifer!!!! I'm so glad you here again!!!

Susanna

I am so sorry to hear about Smoky and her puppies!!! I know she's always been a good mother and I'm sure this isn't easy for her.

Hugs to all of you.

Susanna I'm so sad for your dog and for the loss of your puppies. Hugs!

I just returned from a walk at the lake and really pushed myself. Ended up walking over a mile today. So glad that my dh was holding my hand on the walk back to the car. That may not sound like a lot but for me it is considering my age and health. The lake has 3 miles of trails so we are setting a goal to complete those 3 miles one day before summer is over. LOL I did my O! exercises and deep breathing this morning. Also, like yesterday, I exercised by doing leg stretches, etc, including hand weights for my arms. Hope that you all will have a great week! Take care!

Susanna, I'm so sorry about the puppies.

Welcome back EmBe, Jennifer, Lois!

I've been working lots of hours so I haven't been posting. Started working at 2:45 this am, so I'll O later and then post.

Have a great day.

Good Morning All My O'Pals,

I got behind on reading all the posts, but was trying to catch up this morning! I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you better.

So sorry to hear about the puppies. That is so sad. Hope that Smokey will soon be feeling better and back to herself again.

Tammy, it sounds like you are a vocal music teacher. I love singing also, and that is really one big benefit that I discovered from doing the Oxycise. It really improves the breath control and makes singing so much easier. I am the music coordinator at our little church now, but have enjoyed singing most of my life.

Well, yesterday I really got rambunctious and got in a 76 minute walk! That is my longest walk in quite awhile and I think my feet are going to have a few bubble blisters, but I loved it and really enjoyed the beautiful day. I was also trying to incorporate as many Oxy-breaths into my walk as possible! I'm not too proud of my eating over the past few days, but now the ice cream and other not very healthy foods are all gone and I'm determined to only stock up on good and healthy foods and get down to the business of loosing this extra weight. I think I'll just weigh myself on Thursdays and do the measurements then also.

Best wishes to everyone and hope everyone is doing great!
Bev

P.S. Kelly, I was trying to find the Smiles of Success board and was not having luck. Can you please tell me how to get onto that thread? Thanks!!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes.

Susanna, so sorry about the puppies.
