Thanks LeAnn, I love Northern MN., it was the opposite of living in the Portland Oregon area, but I love both places and it is an internal need I have to get there at least once a year. Now that I am so far living here in Italy, I have to say that Winter in MN is not my favorite season, a little long and dark for my chemistry makeup. But never the less there is the beauty about the snow and ice on the lakes. I have always been fascinated at the guys who are brave enough to drive out on the lakes with trucks and cars for ice fishing.
I have decided to go with my instints about the hip and let go of the crutches as I am able, I am definately only using one now and sometimes none. But slowly I will get there. We have also found physical therapy through a private resource and also pool therapy in a nearby city that begin tomorrow. So I am happy to continue with professional assistance in my rehab.
I will keep everyone posted about the visit to the USA(MN and OR).

LeAnn you have a wonderful day and will chat again soon.

Hugs
Paul

Hey LuLu...just stopping by to say hello! Hope you have a fabulous week!

LuLu..thank you for the friend request! Don't you just love these new features?

It won't be long and you'll be posting photos of your new svelte self...the time goes so fast and the pounds seem to drop so quickly. You're doing great! Keep up the good work.

OMG! I just saw a post of yours and your signature...40 pounds in under 2 months? YOU GO! You are working this thing out! Awesome job--I'm so proud of you! -Mike

Hi,
Sorry it's taken me a few days to get back to you. I have been Spring cleaning and then had a spa day today (birthday present from my hubby). I'm just now getting back on to check the website.
I've stumbled on a new career...I'm going into photography. I ordered a new camera the other day and am just waiting on it to come in. I already have a shoot lined up (high school prom). I'm so excited.
Hope your week went well!

Glad you are doing well! Shins...yeah, that will happen. I'm also a high school coach and deal with shins all the time. You probably aren't used to the walking as much? Rest them a little....the swimming was a great idea! You can also walk laps around the pool (shallow end)....the resistance is good for you. Sounds like you are figuring things out. Good for you.
I'm good...just taking care of my 13 (almost 14) month old and coaching track right now. I'm in the process of maybe wanting to find a full-time job again. I taught school for 13 years until I had my baby girl...then life changed pace for me! We can't afford me not working living in England...the exchange rate is terrible! For every pound over here it costs $2.04! So, everything is DOUBLE the price. UGH....thank God for internet shopping and the Base Commissary! LOL
Keep up the great work and let me know if I can help in any way. I am newly inspired by you....I am inspired to rethink some choices and take off maybe 10-15 more pounds. Thank you!

Just checking in on your to make sure you are doing ok today. How is everything going? Any problems?

Hi....how neat the we have the same name! Looks like you have done well in such a short time...keep up the GREAT work! If you ever need to "chat", I'm here! I've been through a lot, but have always seen it as a blessing. The surgery saved my life!

May I put you on my friend's list? You will be the first. We are neighbors, kind of. I am from ND.

I always eat if I am happy, glad or sad....maybe she will want me to come back too. My downfall is at work. I like to eat when I sit at the computer all day. I am fine at home but work drives me to eat lol
