Just Wanted To Let You Know
I've been without an Internet connection since April 3rd or 4th. I have my new Internet set up now, but still can't send outgoing email. I've spent the past two mornings on the phone with tech support, so hopefully they'll get it figured out soon.
I'm still working up in the OR at work and loving the quiet. :) My body has gotten use to using some muscles I haven't used in a while too. LOL! Lots of reaching and bending. If I was skinny I'd probably have ripped abs. :) Well, maybe under all of this fat I've got something going on. LOL!
I'm still watching what I eat. I'm down 7 pounds so far. Everyone who started with me at work is still going strong. One woman who is in her 60's swore up and down that she usually gains 3 pounds the first week she tries to lose weight. She didn't lose anything the first couple of days and I noticed all she was eating was fruit and sweets. I told her I was going to have to kick her butt if she didn't add in some protein each day (don't worry, we talk to each other like this all the time, so she dishes it right back at me). She added the protein and now she's also lost 7 pounds. This is a woman who weighs about 100 pounds less than me. She's kicking butt all by herself. LOL!
I have the weekend off. I've been going non-stop for the past month now and I just feel like I need a break. I've decided tomorrow is going to be a fun day no matter what. I've got the day all planned out. I'm going to Cincinnati to a park that's celebrating earth day, then I'm going to hit some golf balls, then I'm going to go for a walk with Riley. Then at the end of the evening maybe I'll rent a movie and just chill out. Sunday is set aside to work on cookbook orders and get caught up on my email. It's suppose to rain anyway so no big deal.
Well, I'd better get off of here. I'm actually at work typing this. LOL! I got done early tonight and thought I'd get a couple of my tests done on the computer (we have to take tests here). Talk to you all later. :)

Aimee, I have your cookbooks but like you i have fallen off the wagon and am having trouble getting back on. I joined a weight loss challenge group and have lost 4lbs but i just dont seem to have the motivation to continue. i have been under a lot of stress this past year and im sure that has not helped at all. good luck in your journey. i have joined a new gym and am currently working with a personal trainer and seeing some results. so there is that. keep on kepping on.
I came across your website and blog. Thanks for the inspiration and the recipes. It sounds like you are headed down the path. You deserve to be happy, and sometimes that is a choice.
I was just reading your blog from January and am really confused as to why you would post an article about the bad things about a gym? Sure those things may be true, but aren't you trying to motivate people to lose weight? or are you? I understand that you are having problems sticking to this weight loss thing, but positive thinking will get you a lot further. Joining a gym is a good thing!
Dear Anonymous...
Thank you for the enlightening comment. To answer you question as to why I would post the article "10 Things Your Gym Won't Tell You" is because I think everyone should be armed with as much knowledge as possible. Sure, the gym can be a wonderful place and we should all attend faithfully for maximum health benefits, but the article was correct in everything it stated. There are things you should know before jumping right in to a gym membership. If you aren't worried about the germs and hidden dangers, then terrific! :) We all have different opinions, thank you for sharing yours. Oh and yes, I AM trying to motivate people to lose weight. This is why I spend money to keep my website going year after year, and why I sit and answer most of the questions that pour into my email day after day. Even through my own struggles, I'd like to think I'm still motivating someone.
Aimee, I just wanted to drop you a line and wish you the best! I'm sorry that the last few years have been a struggle to you but I'm so pleased that you are doing the best that you can to improve your life. You're an inspiration to so many people!
Hi there! I hope this finds you in good graces. I just came accross your web page and blog. Thank you for all of your enlightening and motivational posts and your wonderful website.

Sincerely,
