Shows Cancelled in Metropolis, Illinois

Shows have been cancelled at Harrah's in Metropolis, IL this weekend, so I can slow down and relax now instead of trying to get caught up on everything I got behind in when we were on the cruise. Maybe I can even start working on the mail that I still haven't gone through yet since we got back from Branson and the Christmas shows. Even better I can unpack for awhile instead of getting ready to leave again. I think I'll start reading the book about Mother Osmond today after I go have the vampire take my blood for my chlorestral test. Greg was a great vampire years ago and really enjoyed the job.

Thanks for your diet and exercise ideas. I was going to go buy a hoola hoop but when I mentioned it to my daughter, Michelle, she said that I can hoola hoop on her Wii Fit so maybe I'll try that first. It sounds like many of you enjoy using Wii Fit to exercise. Joe and Michelle have Wii Fit and I can use it here at the house but at Christmas time when everyone was here visiting the controller came up missing. I remember seeing it on the table and probably decided to put it in a very safe place so the grandkids wouldn't lose or destroy it. I hid it in such a great place that now I can't find it either. I'll spend some time today looking for it and hopefully be able to try it out. Thanks for all your encouraging words. Congratulations to all those who either stayed their same weight or lost some pounds. I'm sorry that Linda was in the hospital and lost weight the hardest way. Hope you are recouperating quickly. I also hope Leslie is feeling better after being sick last week.

If you haven't started your diet yet and still want to join us please do. Even after we get to our ideal weight we'll have to support each other to continue to look like movie stars and actresses. So, if you aren't over weight like I know a couple of you aren't that are on a diet with us, you can just report that you're holding. Ha! If you seriously want to join but are embarrassed like my sister told me she was, just sign up as a follower with a fake name and we'll never know who you are. You can make comments using your fake name, offer suggestions and we can support and cheer each other on. If you still want to use anonymous you could be anonymous 1, anonymous 2, anonymous 3, etc. so we know you are different people. I know I wouldn't try as hard if you didn't know my name or at least a nickname if I wanted to be anonymous.

Those that have reported this week so far are Karen in GA, Klr 105555, Kristy, Shundra, Rebecca, Karen M., Sheila from Toronto, Sherry of IN, cj6116, Linda, Leslie and Franki. It's been fun to know where some of you are living too. Did I miss anyone? Beverly, cj6116 and Emma are my friends on "Lose it" so I can really keep track of them. Invite your friends and family to join us and we'll really help each other to get healthier and stay that way! Congratulations to those that maintained their weight and lost a pound or more. It's O.K. even if you gained weight. Just start again today.
