Hey, I will be writing a book here today

Hi. I am so excited to be able to read your posts. After a few hours on the phone with my computer wizard Monte McCall (he is great if you need computer help) I can now read your posts, YIPPEE. I have spent a lot of time this morning reading all your wonderful posts. So good and inspiring. Love you guys. I have missed all of you and am so glad that you are doing well. CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for reaching your goals for so many days. YOU ARE AMAZING. Now for the confession (can you see the big lip). I owe you $ 40. Not only could I not post but I fell off the wagon (actually I fell and then was dragged for miles in the mud or no I think it was chocolate). I just sucked it up (literally, but as hard as you suck in your tummy it does not make you weigh less) and got on the scale. Unbelievably I have stayed the same weight despite my worst efforts. My goal for the 40 days was to lose 5 pounds (how hard can it be) and then keep it off. I guess my new goal for the next month is to lose 5 pounds and keep it off (sounds familiar somehow). Unfortunately I will not be here for the HLC meeting on Tuesday. My daughter Suzi is 8 weeks from having her baby and has been having preterm labor for a week. She is now on bed rest (that will be so hard for her, as she has more energy than anyone I know). I am going to Logan tomorrow for a few days to tie her down. I will send my dirty $ along with a written confession and a vow (sealed with a kiss or written in blood, whichever you prefer) to do better between now and May whatever. Looking forward to celebrating on Feb 10th. So good to be back.
