Things you didn't know about me! - Page 10

Terri,

Boy, do I know what you mean! I was already struggling with my weight pre dx - then packed on another 30 lbs with treatment. I joined Weight Watchers at the very end of August last year and have lost 50 lbs! It is such a great program; I am so glad I gave it another try. I am still working toward my goal and feel so much better physically and mentally. Don't give up, you are on the right track!

I have a copy of the Declaration of Independence matted and framed hanging in my living room. Strange… I know….

I have lost 30lbs . I started my new eating plan in March. It is very hard.

i like getting in the car and going for drives just to see the great state i live in! saturday we were lost down along the ohio river, but got to see some beautiful scenic views.

Hey, Juanita! Looks like you got some sun this summer with all the gardening, etc.

And Dilly looks like a little cherub (angel?). I am sure she is a good girl for grammy Juanita.

I send my first letter to the editor and it was printed in the paper this week!!

Terri B · 08-12-2009, 12:33 PM

Thanks Gerri and Mary Jo for the shot in the arm. Having had lost a lot of weight in the past, I know it is doable. Actually, this is the easy part. The hardest part is keeping it off. I have YET to accomplish that one!

I'm going to the gym everyday and biking for 3-5 miles and then working my way up on the elliptical torture device. Then some weights for my beefy bi's & tri's. I need to get some muscle built so it will help me burn the fat!!! arrrrhhgghgh!

(just MISSING the pizza, seriously!)

You Go, Alice! Send us a copy of your letter, we'd love to read it. I've sent many, many letters to the editor and have had a few of them published also. I'm such an activist at heart...can't imagine life without that activism!
Congratulations!
Love and hugs to you,
Vickie

That my kitty is sitting on a pillow near my shoulder. He climbed up there to purr and give me a kiss on the nose, and the kiss made me have to clean my glasses.>>Believe51

that my son and his family moved back home and that's why i've been gone for awhile.

I bought some specially made pillows for "neck problems." Got them from the Select Comfort store and after just one night with them we notice the difference! Price of one pillow is less than I pay for 2 massages. Figured it could not hurt to give them a try.

Don't know why I was holding out except the price. They are on sale right now, and I don't want to have to get the massages every week like I have been, since we have another big trip coming up.

I sleep with 3 pillows. One between my knees to help my lower back, one for my head, and one parallel to my body against my chest that I drape my arm around. I roll over several times at night and I have to carry my lower two pillows with me. It's quite a challenge for me to get a good night's sleep. I miss the old days when I could just go to bed, sleep, and then wake up 12 hours later!

Believe51 · 08-26-2009, 12:15 AM

Bill, 12 hours later??? Dammmn..lol, I miss your warped humor.

My wedding ring is a marquis-shaped diamond and my wedding band has sapphires and diamonds in it. Gorgeous rings and picked out by the big guy himself.>>Believe51

Believe51 · 08-27-2009, 10:26 AM

I only wear Oakley sunglasses and have been doing so for over 30 years. They are the best for my eyes, headaches and both winter and summer sports. I won't tell you how many pairs I have but I will tell you that my two favorites are the orange and the purple pairs.>>Believe51

StephN · 08-27-2009, 11:26 AM

Bill -
They have "body pillows" at the large kitchen/linens/stuff stores. Get one and you might maneuver easier in your sleep!

Maybe if my hubby was not with me any more I could think of getting one! But it seems too hot and constricting to have so much extra "bulk" in the bed.

Mary Jo · 08-27-2009, 11:31 AM

I met my hubby when I was 15 years old...we started dating on Sept. 3, 1975. We married on Sept. 2, 1978. We will be celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary on Sept. 2. We've been together 34 years. Man, that sounds like old people, doesn't it? YIKES.....am I old???? Hehe!

chrisy · 08-27-2009, 11:48 AM

I met my husband in college and while he thought we would soon become engaged, I thought I was dating someone else. I broke his heart (although he puts it "she told me to take a hike") and we never spoke again...

Until 12 years and 2000 miles later when we had both separately moved to California (although still 500 miles apart!) and found each other again in response to a "dorm floor" reunion.

This time it was love at first sight (for both of us!) and after a 2 year long-distance courtship we were married. So we've either been together 20 years, or 32 years.

And of course, now I take credit for my hubby's second favorite thing - long distance hiking - since I gave him the idea all those years ago...

Colleens_Husband · 08-27-2009, 01:58 PM

The first time I ever saw Colleen, she was getting her newspaper in a frumpy bathrobe. It was real obvious that I had embarrassed her. The first thing that ran through my head was that I was going to marry her and embarrassing her would only make things more difficult. I actually met her a couple of days later which was really weird, because I was 100% certain that I was going to marry her eventually.

notamrnpsn · 08-27-2009, 02:15 PM

I met my husband over 48 years ago in a local dance hall. This was in Scotland and he was in the US Navy. After the first dance I told my girlfriend that I was going to marry him. So after 47 years of marriage 6 children and 16 Grands and 2 great grands we still feel the same way about each other. Jeanette

freyja · 08-28-2009, 08:41 PM

I met my husband when I bought my house from a friend who had hired my husband to do work on the house. I tell people, "he came with the house!" That was seven years ago this week......(our baby boy was born 10 months later! He's six now.)

freyja · 08-28-2009, 08:41 PM

When I know what I want I don't waste any time.
