Hi, it's been awhile *

[Guest guest]

Glad to see that everyone is still hanging in with AOM! Haven't been

on here since before Thanksgiving. Last left off with my hubby and

his knee surgery. That is all over with and he'll be returning back

to work on Tuesday. During the past 8 weeks I had 2 slipped Disks in

my back and have been in and out of hospitals. We both are just

crippled up that we laugh at eachother as we watch eachother trying

to take care of eachother. Good Gravy what an end to 2005!!! hahah !

I am another guilty one who has not been able to post to AOM as I

haven't been able to walk on the tradmill. I DO SO MUCH miss my

crazy long walks on the treadmill. You wouldn't believe! When I look

back at my 8 , 9, 10 mile days, I just get like , " oh man " !!! I

want that back! The Shots that I've been having in my back are not

working so it looks like I'll have back surgery soon. I've gone

through this 3 times in 8 weeks and after the 3rd time is when they

open you up and do what they got to do. I'm all for it because I

want to get back to me!

I'm somewhat hurt at all the hard work I put into it and what I lost

in weight and because of this slipped disk situation, it's like

starting all over again from the very bottom. You really have to

stay with it, you really have to make that apart of your everyday

life to stay fit and healthy.

Stay at it Mona, I know you can do it. Even a little everyday always

helps. Keep going Steve and don't look back after today, remember

tomorrow is a new year.

Good luck everyone in all your journeys for the New Year!

Happy New Year to all ! I'm off to make my son a Brithday fun day!

Yep, he was a New Years Eve bundle of the best kind of joy a mom

could ask for. He is 15 today ........ Talk to you all next year!!!

Just think, , what a great year 2006 will be. It's gotta be better than 2005, right? At least the end.
