All the cashiers know him. He loves the Hardy Boy books and always asked if there was really a town named Bayport as that is where the Hardy boys live. The family never knew, I guess no one googled it for him. There is only 1 town in the entire USA named Bayport and wikipedia describes it as the town from the Hardy Boy's along with other stuff. We moved from Bayport to Ohio. When he heard that you would have thought he met the Queen of England. It is nice to be friends with Russ not to many people would. You have a heart of gold Missy and I am honored to call you my friend.

Hi all. Yesterday was my official weigh in. The scale is going down. I feel good; I'm walk 4 out of 7 days a week & dancing one night a week. Averaging 2#s a weeks is a healthy weight loss plan and I'm not feeling to awlfully deprived so far. As a reward for all my hard work and diligence, I bought myself a pair of Rebok Runtones. Granted I could have bought some fabric AND a pair of sneakers instead, but I deserve it :thumbup: I have numbness in my right foot that usually intensifies when I'm walking. I don't know if it was my imagination, but that didn't happen when I walked in my new Rebok Runtones today.
Well ladies, thank you for giving me a place to come and discuss my weight loss journey. You all keep up the good work!

Here's the description of what these new style sneakers are 'suppose' to do. I can't say they feel any different than other sneakers, but I decided to give them a try just the same :)
RunTone Action - Women
You asked for it – you got it: the muscle-toning shoe you can wear while running, training and working out. Compared to a traditional running shoe, RunTone, a close cousin to our EasyTone shoe, encourages more activation in key leg muscles like the calves and quads and reduces overall body stress.
•RunTone patented sole technology features 8 pods of moving air that force your muscles to work harder; encourages increased muscle activation, toning, strength and endurance
•Synthetic/mesh upper ensures comfort, fit and durability
•SmoothFit seamless liner minimizes rub and irritation
•DMX Shear cushioning panels for added comfort and reduced heel stress; IMEVA midsole for added cushioning; removable sockliner accommodates orthotics

Update Folks!
Thursday my mom and I are having Mike and his Mother, Jenny, over for brunch.
I have going to be making an Aztec Quiche, Andouille Palmiers, Sausage links, Baguette slices with hot cheese and green onions, fresh fruit, caesar salad and coffee/juice.
I am very excited and so is Mike. He told me tonight that his mom is very excited too.
Wow. Such fun is this friendship!

Hey Missy Sounds really good I love Quiche how do you make it?
It's so nice that you and Mike are including your families in your new friendship. Have a wonderful time together. It's not often that we find someone we feel so comfortable with right away.
