Good morning! I did my O! yesterday, but haven't gotten to it yet today. I will soon. Eating wasn't the best yesterday (still had lots of leftover goodies from the weekend), but will try to do better today.

Good to see Lin and Sandy here from last night. Sandy...what areas are you looking at? In some ways I think that would be exciting just to start over somewhere else! I love where I live, though, and don't think I'd want to move anywhere else.

I just checked the customer service page at my IP and saw where they were expecting e-mail service to be back up by 6 a.m. EST today. Well....that is PAST and I still don't have e-mail service!!! They claim they've protected everything that would have been received over the weekend and nothing will be lost. We'll see. I just want my e-mail!!! Yeah, well. At least I still have internet!

I've got a dental appointment today to have my teeth cleaned, etc. Hope I don't have to go back for anything!!

Better get busy and get that O! done before I leave!

KOB & DYW!!

Where would we go? Our family is spread out. My husband's entire family is in Wyoming and my mom and grandmothers are in Ohio. My dad and his wife are getting ready to retire and are thinking about southern Michigan to be close to her family. My brothers are in Utah and Montana. We are happiest in the midwest and west and would like to be in a position where it doesn't take 3 days to drive to get to family, like it does now to Wyoming--flying is $2k. Of course, if gas goes up to $10 a gallon like I heard on the news last night, nothing will make a difference.

No O! yet for me today. Will do that tonight. Water is off to a great start, though.

Good morning!

Did L2 this morning before work. Eating and water was fair yesterday. Hope to do better today.

Bev, I've been doing O since November, 2004. I've lost several inches and I'm not sure of the pounds. I just like the way O makes me feel after doing it. More energetic.

Kelly, hope your e-mail is up soon. I hate it when mine is down.

Melinda, those fruit smoothies sure sound good. We are thinking about getting a juicer and maybe we can start having some of those.

Lin, good to see you posting again. Hope things are better for you.

Sandy, hope your illness is much better. Where do you think you might move to? We live in Colorado and I like it very much. Not near the mountains, but on the plains.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day! KOB and smiling.

Hi everyone!

I did L2 today!

Kelly can't you just check your mail on the site? That's why I switched to Gmail & Yahoo. Because our ISP email was flaky at times.

Have a good day everyone!

Hello! Did L4 this morning. Weight was down just .4 this morning. Going to measure Thursday.

Kelly...glad to see you back. Missed ya!

Have a Heathly Day!
Ellen

Hi Everyone!

I did my O! this morning - I did 10 of the O!reps during my 30 min. walk. I did well on my water and food yesterday.

I've been combining my food like Jill Johnson talks about in her book "Fuel for Success". When I get off that system, I really feel it in my gut with pain and gas. I know this "combining" thing really works. I don't know why I vary from it...sigh.

Have a great day!

Melinda

Hello O-buddies!

It's a gorgeous day here, in the 70s and sunny. We opened up the windows to let the bugs out!!! Hopefully, everyone will feel better with some fresh air. This is a stubborn bug, by the way, and I'm still so nauseated that I'm not Oing.

Sandy, I'm glad you came back again!!! I hope you can find a place to move that you'll enjoy living. We enjoy the wide open spaces of the SD prairie.

Kelly, I recently opened a new gmail account, and I really like it. I'm having some trouble with my hotmail accounts, so I may close them down.

Lin, I nearly fainted when I saw you were back. Really, I'm so glad to hear from you!!! Here's a hug to help you up again. I hope you didn't hurt yourself falling. UGH!

It's great to see so many posters here these days!!! I'm so glad for each one, and want to thank you for being here!!! We all need each other!!!

Hey! Figured I should report that I got my O! done this morning. My dental appointment went well, too.

Well...I seem to be getting and receiving e-mail now. I know they lost some of the e-mails, though, from things said in ones I have gotten. Yeah, well. I tried going to their site to check it that way, Shelby, (kinda like mail2web) and it wasn't even working right there. Susanna...I have a g-mail account and a hotmail account, but rarely use either of them. I originally opened the hotmail for online sites like this and opened the g-mail when I set up one for our church website. I've thought about changing over to one of those entirely, but have SO many places online that I'd have to change it that it just hasn't been worth it yet.

Good to see all the posts since I was here earlier. My eating has been better today so far, but the day's not over yet.

L3 for me today.

Kelly, thanks for asking about the "kids" and DH. Jerry's blood clots are stable. Currently he is a dealing with a rash and has been on prednisone for 3 weeks. The MD determined it was caused by touching flea medicine I had put on the dogs, so I switched to a monthly oral pill instead. We haven't tried it yet (I give flea and heartworm medicine on the first of every month). The most common side effect is vomiting, so hopefully we won't have that problem.

Buddy is fairly stable. His theophylline really kicks in about 3 hours after I give it and he can play for about 5 minutes every day. No antibiotics since about February, which is a new record for us.

Baxter is adjusting well. He feels really comfortable and gives lots of kisses. The funny thing is all of my cresteds are afraid of the dark and Baxter can't sleep if there is any light. So, I keep a nightlight on in the bedroom where the cresteds have their beds and Baxter sleeps on a bed in the office, so it is completely dark.

The dogs still don't interact a whole lot together but no one is fighting. Baxter doesn't really show any interest in toys. Baxter is very courteous and allows all the other dogs to potty before he goes.

Overall, things have been great.

Have a great evening!

Shari

It's so nice to see you all here today!
Kelly, nice to see you again LIN! and SandyP so nice to see you two back again.

I didn't get around to O! today or yesterday. I don't know why. I'll start walking and O!- ing again tomorrow.

Hugs to everyone hurting. I hope you all start feeling better soon.

Have a great evening.

Happy Tuesday

I finished O! and my wts/exercise routine this morning. My grandson has 1/2 day at school on Tues so we like to spend that time with him. We decided to go to the Zoo again since he didn't get to see everything on Sunday. Walked around for about 1 1/2 hours before taking him home. Then we went straight from his house to a local park that has a small lake and decided to walk a couple of laps around it without stopping to take in 20 more minutes of walking exercise and oxygen! Our 13 yr old daughter is performing tonight with the middle school choir. We'll be leaving in just a few minutes for that. Hope everyone has a great night.

Sorry no O for me tonight either and I am too afraid to do it now so close to bed for fear I won't sleep. I ran out of time. Lenny called on the way home from work sick (sinus, congested, cold) and I was not even around him. I have avoided him since the Saturday before last because I started to get something like that on Friday so I ran to my naturopathic and got some energized light signals drops and taking vitamin C 3 times a day and mine has defervesced and has not turned into anything. He can laugh at me all he wants while I take drops in water and he is on those damn antibiotics, YUK!. Well anyway, I had to conjure up some homemade chicken noodle soup to take over to him so I just came home from there and doing that. So I will try for O tomorrow.

Lin

Hello all,
I am back again. I am going to try and make a commitment this time to stick to O'ing.
I was wondering if I need to do the tape straight through to see results or can I break it up in 5 min sections. I feel like I have to stop the tape alot to deal with kids, phone or whatever is thrown my way.
Thank you.
Susan

Hi there!

Susan, you can break it up as much as you want. I'm always doing that because of kids, phone, door...

I haven't O'd yet and I may take a day off. Water and eating ok!

For those interested, there is only 2 more days for the Mom day specials at ANG!
