Come join us. We are bandsters without a local support group, and we're going to meet, say hi, and chat about possibly starting our own group.

We are meeting this Wednesday December 13 at 6:30 PM at Humble City Cafe near the SE corner of the intersection of 1960 and 59, on Main Street.

Let me know if you're coming and I'll make a reservation in the name of Bandsters.

I'm going into the stone washed Tai Chi jammies business. There's a need.

I can't start till Wednesday! My daughter has to leave town tomorrow on business and they are taking balet pictures in makeup and costume at 6pm for my granddaughter tomorrow. I have to put her hair up etc. I will start on Wednesday--I promise I'm not chickening out. I got to 50 pounds off Saturday--so I'm feeling psyched up and ready to try new things.

Betsy, would it be uncomfortable for you, if I show up at OA on Tuesday? Just the few things you said about it helped me already I think.

It certainly wouldn't make me uncomfortable.

I'd rather they don't know I'm banded.

congrats on 50 pounds!!!!!!!!

I agree with you. I don't want to mention banding either. Back at you on the congrats. I just noticed you are moving right along also:) Maybe this is really going to work if we all stick together!

Betsy, I saw miniature horses for the first time today! Just down the street from my daughter in the Commons. Did you tell me you had loaned yours out?? They are so cute!

Hi Lana. We have sold some minis to The Commons in the past, but there are lots of mini breeders around here, so you'll see a bunch of them! We actually sold our last 13 to the next door neighbor who has 70. We share custody depending whose pasture looks best.

Our first Tai Chi class was interesting. Hard to imagine that you can get a workout in slow motion, but we did. I'm pleased. Dinner was fun too. Suzanne showed up dressed in black to compliment our Tai Chi jammies.

Oh I wish I could have been there. I plan to make it to Tai Chi Wednesday. Are you going to OA tonight? What time is the meeting tonight? It is at AUMC right? I am slipping into old habits--not happy. Thanks for keeping me up to date on the Tai Chi. Did the PJ's ever soften up?

Atasc. United Meth Church 7PM. It's in the education building closest to Walden...on the far end. I'm not sure if I'm going. I'm at the mercy of a repair man..... If you go and I'm not there, tell thenm the new kid from last week will be there next time....repair man blues.

The garb hasn't softened, but actually, it wasn't restrictive at all. Just made funny noises. I'm going to go beat it on a stone at the river until it gives in. :-)

I'm a little tired from Tai Chi last night. I came home and got my B12 shot so I would be ready for tomorrow. It is really some workout for sure. I think I like it. I wish the PJs would soften up. That is my only issue with the class. I just don't feel that comfortable in the PJs, but not enough to stay away.

Barb you are making me worry:) A B12 shot? I hope I can handle it tomorrow. Maybe we should have a drink afterwards instead of a meal:) Only joking.

Betsy, I think it would be better for me to go on Saturday. I think my hubby is wondering why I'm going out at nite all the time:)LOL

Don't worry. You will be fine. I hadn't had a shot for several weeks so I was certainly due one.

Could someone please remind me of why we "must" eat breakfast? I've noticed I'm not eating it anymore. I think it's because it's hard to digest before I go to exercise.

For me, eating breakfast insures that I won't be too hungry at lunch and over eat or eat the wrong things. It's also a way to keep my blood sugar level stable. But I'm so restricted most mornings that all I have is a diluted shake to sip on......

I was surprised that I had several cramping muscles after Tai Chi. But I get ouchy from Lupus, so I wouldn't worry about Tai Chi being too strenuous. Last night, I practiced standing on one leg and did our routine a couple of times from the last class. Haven't been diligent about homework. I'm going to try one more time of washing and conditioning my jammies. They're already so soaked in fabric softener that they have white swirls in the black!

Suzanne, you looked so great Monday! Do you feel slim? You sure look it!

Thanks Besty. I do feel smaller after going thru my things and cleaning out a lot of old stuff that is now to big. I have never done that before.

The only thing is I am tired all the time. Not sure what is going on with that. I think that coffee is starting to upset me. I am going to try and cut back or maybe cut out coffee all together. I had better get it all together before our bike trip starting on Monday.

Everyone have a great Mothers`s Day. And do not eat to much.
