This thread was started before the dawn of time by Amazons who needed to compare their stats with other Amazons. Over time it grew into a community of incredible women who try to keep their spirits in the clouds and their feet on the ground, moving toward health. Most of us start at 5'7 and go up from there, from young singles to wise and lively elders of the tribe. We welcome newcomers who are willing to be kind and share a bit of their lives

I woke up restless and decided to get up and do a bit of exercise. It's a very long day again, capped off with a meeting until late. Fortification is required.
I made an appointment with a trainer for Friday. Wish me luck. I hope he doesn't kill me. I need a steady program to rebuild muscle, including core strength.
I hope we continue to see more CATs here as we reboot for lighter clothes and longer days.

Coooollllllleeeeeeen is in the house!!! There are so many things to ask you! However, it will have to wait until I actually call you. Have a great time with mom and dad this weekend!
T: I have complete faith in you. You will start the downward trend, I know it. I'm excited to hear about Trainer.
Was our CATvention in KC just last fall? Someone please remind me. Plus, if we are doing a Farewell Tour to Susan's house, can the dates be coordinated when I am free? OR if my house hasn't sold in LJ, we can do it there. Accommodations are free--plenty of beds.
I had a terrible nights sleep. I went to bed at 9:15pm. Woke up to let the dogs out, I thought it was morning, and looked at the clock and it was only 11:15 pm!
Martha, are you on track this week?
Did I tell you, I am traveling with a couple of GF's to LJ for the weekend. Check on things and have a little R and R. I can attend a meeting when I get back--I wonder if I have the no weigh pass to use. I guess I'll have to see what happens. I just want to maintain this week and carry on when I return. (I'm bracing myself for a non loss. Which is ok, right? It's not failure??)
I'll stop by later. I'm working out in the afternoon.

Oh my, how did I miss that Colleen snuck on last night? See, I thought you'd moved already. Is your house sold? Are you renting when you get there? So many questions, but I don't want to drive our lurking CAT away. Frieda, after this week's big loss, holding steady until next week will be a boon. Better a boon than a rebound. I did my sweaty walking video. I am better fortified for the day.

Aloha, Long and Lovelies!!!
Believe it or not, it is DH's and mine 2nd anniversary! We are so excited, even if it is on a Tuesday (which is a weird day to have an anniversary). I have his gift wrapped; need to get a card when I take DS to his dentist appointment this afternoon.
Colleen in the house!! I have missed you, lady. Stop by more often!!!
T, good for you, signing up with the trainer and making your way back to the WW meeting. I am sure having the friend helps. I bet the walk this morning will help as well.
Frieda!!!! What fabulous progress!! Good for you!!! I hope you can get a nap today, after that poor night's sleep.
Martha, DH and I saw that chicken. It was huge!!!
Shari, I can only imagine how your head must be spinning with everything from NC. Is another trip planned soon, or just the move at this point?
Karla, it was so nice to see you!!!
Susan - ugh. The Auditors are Here!!! It sounds like a really bad movie: Auditors 2: Return of the Spreadsheet.
Alrighty, gotta get going on that testing. Hugs to all!!!

Good morning CATs. It was good to see so many here yesterday and that has prompted me to come again today for a check in. I really need the connection/motivation as I try to get my uncomfortably large derriere back to a size where my pants aren't strained to the point of bursting! Aarrgghhh. I'm tracking today and am planning to start meetings again when I get back from vacation next week. I want to try an early morning meeting on Thursday.
Unfortunately I don't think there is going to be time for a farewell gathering in NC this spring. We are doing little things to it now in hopes of listing it in April, even though I fear it will take a while to sell. It's going to take just the right buyer. The other beach house is already listed and our fingers are crossed. We've had showings but no bites yet.
I need to get to it for now but will check back by at lunch. Have a great day!

Waving hi as I grab quick lunch. Headed to piano. WeWa was very small but meaningful today, after no mtg last week this day due to Stella. Guess spring fever is still dragging. My scales are up from poor choices in travel eating mostly. Focus on living healthier should bring me back around. My spring/summer happy clothes inspire me to get rid of extra wt.
So very happy to see Colleen in the 'hood, and others, making it a gathering like the good old days, or closer to that. Hugs all around.

Hi CATs, It's a crazy afternoon at the office and I actually have a few free moments.
T, great steps forward! Frieda, yes, KC was last November. LJ sounds fun too. MCat, I wished you happy anniversary on FB but it's great to hear how happy you sound. Hope you are even enjoying wrangling those spreadsheets. Susan, you have such an exciting schedule these days. Shari, hope you found some interesting prospects on your NC trip. We'll have to plan another return to NC now that we have a concentration of CATs in one place. Come to think of it Texas has a pretty strong concentration of CATs also. We should add TX to the list.
It is a lovely day here--bright, sunny, warm. I have book club tonight and I'm really looking forward to it. Made some yummy gluten and dairy free lemon bars.
It's great to see so many posts today. I'm lovin' the CAT fix.

Ladies!
I feel like I'm home. And how I've missed our daily chats. Cliff Notes version:
House closes April 14, We are under contract!
I move next weekend, the first but I don't yet have a forwarding address. The apartment told me they had a place for me but I haven't heard back with the official address.
I've been on the job for 2 1/2 weeks now, and I love it! I am working virtually which is hard, but it's really good. I'm just excited to finally get there and get the show on the road!
I feel like I've been doing pretty well compartmentalizing my stress and not getting overwhelmed. Luckily I'm not gaining weight just not losing it. Wedding planning is pretty much on hold but all the big things are taken care of caterer, florist, DJ, reception hall and church. Plus we have started marriage prep and have started asking attendants to be in the wedding. We each have one so far! That's enough right?
Happy anniversary MCAT! Has it only been two years?
I so need to hear what's going on and Shari's life! This is exciting! Frito you were giving me motivation to keep going on this weight-loss journey. Congrats on your progress!
Martha? How is your mom doing?
I should probably get my hand out of the popcorn bag and figure out what to make for supper tonight. Talk to you all tomorrow!
