End of September meeting

We had a nice meeting tonight--lots of items were discussed. First, welcome to Lisa Morales! Ilene won the September contest with 100% days goal met! Wow! If you weren't at the meeting, please get $10. to me. I really don't like to be a money collector. If you didn't pay in September, maybe you could contribute $5. to the fun fund for that month. We're up to $55. by the way. We decided we should each determine our own goals for the month of October and then post them on this blog. We'll be making the Palisades hike on Oct. 22nd. We decided to postpone the Harriman cross country/snow-shoeing trip to January. Lisa is organizing a group to go to Time Out for Women on Nov. 19 and 20th. Contact her if you're interested. Some of us are planning a "I finally made my goal!" trip to the Park City outlet mall on Feb. 21st. Let me know if you're interested in that. We are also planning to go to Boise to see Wicked on Saturday, May 14, 2pm. If we can get a group of 20 or more, we can get our tickets now. Those who are interested need to decide in the next week or so, and Cherie will make the reservation. 50% of the price is due about 2 weeks after the reservation with the remainder due by Dec. 31st. The tickets are about $147/85/65/55. Those may not be the exact amounts--but something like that. If you know of anyone else who is interested, please have them call Cherie.

Well, we sound like a busy crew, but really, these activities are taking place over a period of 8 months. I wish everyone a very successful and healthy October. Who cares that there's Halloween candy everywhere?

Wednesday--almost the end of September

Here we are at the end of September already! I hope it has been a good month for everyone. If not, I hope October is even better! It'll be fun to get together tomorrow night . . 5:30 at Ilene's.

I met my goals today. See you tomorrow.

Two days in a row

I met my goals for two days in a row. That is big for me this month. I am up 3 pounds since mid-August but I can stop that now (otherwise I have no pants that fit). Hope you are meeting your goals. Who is the $ winner this month? Seems like Ilene, Kim and Heather have been doing well. Lisa Morales wants to join and will be at the meeting on Thurday.

love me some packers.....

Monday night football ya'll...go pack go! :) I met my goals today, well will have after I head to the gym here in a few minutes.

I admit it

OK I admit it I have had a terrible month when it comes to eating nutritionally. The only thing that has saved me from total disaster is that exercise is wonderful and I love it. Especially exercising outside. I am going to be brave tomorrow (it is too late today because I have to do it first thing in order to not have eaten anything) and weigh and measure and write down the bad news. Maybe this will get me to start over. Some of my jeans are getting tight (never a good sign) and I gave away my bigger size so I guess I had better get back on the program. Not only am I not in the running to win the $ this month but you should all make me pay more. Enough already. I will post tomorrow with the bad news since I know you guys are in my corner and will encourage me to do better. Congrats to those of you that are doing well. I hope to join your group. I did well for 6 months so I can certainly do it again. Venting feels good. Thanks.

Way to go Kim and Heather on the race. You guys (and the rest of you) are awesome.

Saturday

The day's not over, but I thought I'd go ahead and post. We had a fun race. It was great being a part of "Team Hope."

I've met my goals so far today, and I'm sure I'll do fine the rest of the evening.

I hope you're all having a great weekend--such beautiful weather!

24th already....

yea for Friday! I love,love,love weekends! Met goals today and am excited for the race in the morning.
