Hi grandma

How are you doing? We are doing good.

Zach is loving his job watering the flowers downtown. He doesn’t like working every day when he has to, but likes the paycheck when he does work every day. He doesn’t water if it rains or if the temp doesn’t go above the mid 70’s.

Michael isn’t working but wishes he was. Sometimes he fills out applications a lot but not too often. So I am thinking he doesn’t want to work too bad right now. Michael will be starting his senior year of high school on September 8th. He is excited about that because it is his last year of high school, as long as he passes all his classes and takes night school to make up the half a credit he is behind in order to graduate.

I am still exercising every day. I plataued for a while with loosing the weight, so I slowed down on the exercising to see if that was the reason. But then I gained 5 pounds. So now I just have to get my exercising back up to at least two hours a day again. I have been loosing inches but not weight. So I must be toning right now. The weight will most likely start falling off again, because this happened to me before. After a few weeks of just toning before, the weight started to shed then too. I am hoping that is what is happening right now. If not then I’ll have to change my eating habits and exercise routine again. I learned from watching Big Loser that when a person plateau’s when trying to loose weight, then that means their body got accustomed to the eating habits and exercise routine; so then the person would have to change around either eating habits or exercise routine or both.

Some days I do real good with not smoking too much. I’ve got it down to half a pack on some days but then other days it goes up to just less than a pack a day. I was trying to quit by June but that didn’t work out. I am thinking about going to the doctors to see if there is a pill or something to help me stop or at least reduce the cravings. Once someone told me about this natural herb that GNC sells that actually helps someone quit smoking. But I forgot to write it down, so I forgot what it was. I should go on the GNC website to look it up so I could go to the GNC store to buy it.
