Sorry I’ve been missing. I just don’t have the heart right now to be doing what I need to be doing. Things have been extremely busy. We returned from Michigan Saturday 4/19, I had very mixed feelings about leaving. On one hand I was very excited to be getting back to warm weather and my own bed and house. But it is almost like while I was there I was in a time warp. I was near everyone that was close to my dad. I know he is gone and he is in my heart and around me every day but I still felt like I was leaving him behind when I left Michigan. I’m know it is because his presence was evident staying in the house he was living in (as he lived with my grandfather), being near his room, etc. I have this need to talk to everyone he knew and just be around them. Anyway I’m back and have been so busy with the kids back in school, projects, homework, sports, etc. I have a TON of stuff to catch up at work, and in between all of that my house looks like a tornado hit it. On the weekends ...

Hi everyone!!! It's been a while since I posted...I had a bad week last week, no particular reason, just a hiccup in this journey. We, as a family, have been really active since the weather broke around here. Last week we went on an hour long nature hike and spent some time in our park. My computer time has been limited, but frankly, I'd rather be outside! My daughter had another dance competition this past weekend and her class did very well. She took classes too, so that was my entire Saturday and Sunday...once again packed food so that we had some healthy snacks and lunches but was impressed with their concessions too. They were really conscious about providing salads, fruit and wraps instead of the usual burgers, fries, pizza and chicken fingers *blech*! This convention was local, so that helped too. Colleen, my friend, I hope that you're doing ok...I've been thinking about you and your family. Hope everyone else has a great rest of the week! ~ Cindy PS -- OMG I just ...595 days ago
I will be away for a week, I just found out my dad passed away. Cindy I didn't want you to wonder if I had fallen off the face of the earth. I didn't post Friday (haven't been doing well) was going to get back at it this week. We are flying to Michigan tonight, it is going to be a shock to my family's system (the cold I mean.) This has taken us by surprise and not expected at all. My father was 55 and it is believed he died of a heart attack. No one was home, as my grandfather (whom he lives with) was believe it or not, down here in Florida on vacation. The neighbors became concerned after not seeing my dad leave the house in a couple of days. They found him sitting in his chair which I'm choosing to believe means he passed suddenly. He had been to the doctor just that week complaining of shoulder and arm pain. However it was thought maybe he pulled a muscle. I do not believe now that was the case. They are working now to determine the actual cause of death. Hugs to all I will check ...

At least a loss :) 0.4 lbs. but I'll take it! The exciting thing??? I am down a size! I'm officially a size 14 and too small for the plus department WOO-HOO!!! HECK YEAH ~ I said too SMALL!!! I had to go shopping because all of my spring capri's are size 20's from last year! I went to Fashion Bug and because of habit went directly over to the Plus side of the store and loaded up on size 16's to try on...all too big! I think the saleswoman thought I was delirious when she asked me how they fit! LOL I had an enormous grin on my face and just said "they didn't!" and marched my butt over to the Misses section! God that felt good! ~ Cindy

Soooo.....who did you vote for last night??? As for me? You'll have to hear me out on this one... I was sooo totally voting for Mark to stay in the competition...I'm sorry, PINK has been my fav since day one! I'm a BIG Ali fan and think her and her Mom were unjustly voted off the first time!!! I soooo much want her to win this and be the first WOMAN (sorry guys!) Biggest Loser!!! So, my pea size brain figures she has the best chance against Mark so sure, that's who I'm voting for! Then, my darling husband is rationalizing with me this morning and he doesn't think Mark deserves to be there...heck anyone that can make their way back into the competition and stick it out this long winning challenges after challenges DESERVES to be there...but... I understand he was already voted out once. Yes, Roger is the one that TRULY should be in the final...he was never below the yellow line until this week...he's done an incredible job. So, I did vote for Roger to stay in the final...Hubby was ...
