previously it was mentioned there would be a $10 fee that night, including dinner and bowling. That has changed. Now everyone is simply going to order from the menu for dinner, and if you choose to bowl, it is only $3.10 a game. There are many items on the menu, including chili for only about $3.
We plan on meeting there at 6pm..dinner following..then lots of chatting and taking pictures, or bowling if you prefer..and the DJ begins playing music at 9pm for dancing! Bring extra cash for drinks!
Woody's does accept Mastercard/Visa/Discover/American Express and Diners Club..and they have an ATM.
Please bring along some before/during/after pics to share with us!! Feel free to bring along a friend/spouse..etc..or come alone like i am!

How about moving and grooving with the kids right now today. Don't wait for school to start.
Do the Wii Fit with your kids, challenge them for a jog around the block and winner gets a non food prize! You might even be surprised that the other kids in the neighbor hood join your gang!
You will be the coolest mom in the neighborhood!
You will get those pounds off. You are normal and isn't that grand! Just hang in there and find something fun to do along with your kids. Make memories.
I remember a mom in the neighborhood where I was growing up. She was always on a diet fighting her weight. She would jog or wog around the block and she was like the Pied Piper when her mojo was up and she was moving! I adored her and how she made exercise fun with all us kids. Hugs Debbiejean
A while back I submitted my before and after photos for the website. Well, I just got a PM from someone wanting me to give more detail, some info, my pics in 300dpi or higher and a paragraph or so about my journey and success for submission to possibly put it in the magazine.... Don't know how legit this is... Does anyone else have experience with this or should I really just leave it alone?????
Any advice is definitely welcomed!!!!!

I have heard so much about Zumba, but just don't have the money to join a class.... I did see the other day at GameStop a Zumba game though... Maybe I should get it on my next paycheck and try it out. I would have 7 days to try it before I could return it..... Hmmmmm... That is a thought... It is just so hard to get my moving and groving in when the kiddos are home all day.... I think once school starts I will be able to get myself moving more on the Wii Fit and my treadmill..... Just have not been moving much..... and with quitting smoking I am munching more... even though they aren't candy and junk, they are still calories..... Let's hope next month I can start posting that the weight is coming back off.....
Thanks for your support... I really do appreciate it....

Baby steps...this is a learning process and remember it's not a race. Set small goals for yourself and don't forget to reward yourself when you reach your mini goals.
I say kudo's for you for catching yourself on your regain. This is for life and yes it's harder to take the weight off but you can do it. Remember you are a success no matter what the scale says.
So eat less and move more. Simple right? Nope. It's taking the bad habits out of the picture once again. Congrats on not smoking and now find an exercise you love to do. Make it fun!
Do you like to dance, roller skate, swim? Zumba? Yoga?
Find a workout buddy and walk. Ugh...it's so hot and humid now so that wouldn't be much fun unless you do it first thing in the AM.
Start to journal what your eating, keep tabs on your emotions. I'm cheering you on!! Debbiejean
I know all too well that it is possible.... I gained like 50 pounds back a couple years ago, then I managed to take it off, plus 20 pounds... I KNOW it can be done, but ACTUALLY DOING IT!!!! That is another story.... I have to get myself focused and do better... I hate to say it, but maybe I should start smoking again.... LOL.... NOT!!!!!
Anyway. Thanks so much for the encouragement, I really need it right now....
