Brenda: I know your moving and probably crazed with the busy in your life but I'm wondering if all is well. Your last blog post was Tuesday and today is Sunday. This is the first time I've contacted you. I saw you at the Teach's Lair Marina when you came in to inquire about a campground nearby. I believe you had just arrived by ferry onto Hatteras Island. I've been following you since I saw you and wish you the best in your conquest of losing weight and being really healthy again. Each time I go
Gracie: BTW...they come 6 of one flavor to a package. Peach, Mango, Strawberry or Raspberry!! My favorite are Mango and Raspberry!
Gracie: Congrats on your weight loss Priscilla!! 2 years ago I joined weight watchers and didne continue, but I still had all the books and point chart, etc., so I begin counting points this week myself! I am going to try your easy to make ice cream soon as I have gone shopping...lol. Have you tried the DelMonte Fruit Chillers yet? They are in your canned fruit section, there are 4 flavors, and they are 3 pts. each. Buy em, freeze em...enjoy em! They are a frozen fruit sorbet and are wonderful!!!! S
Gracie: Are you moving over to the new Yahoo site with us?? It's pretty bland and boring there right now, but we are hopeful Yahoo might spice it up soon! 360 is shutting down tommorrow (Mon.) Kind of sad....it was a nice outlet. I think I may lose half my friends there though. :-( I have sent invites to ALL of them (inc. you) but only have half of them moved there.
Gracie: Yay!!!!! So happy for you & Morton, on the upcoming move!! A house is soooo much nicer then an apt.! OMG..I am a packrat too...lol. In fact, I just now came home from an estate auction with some wonderful treasures that I so did NOT need!! My kids keep saying..."with all your "junk" Mom...one day we will be RICH!!" lol. Darn kids..lol. So...will you be moved by the time Mortons parents arrive?? Or...have they arrived already??

Craig: Hello Priscilla!I'm glad to see you are still keeping the Little Changes website going! You are an inspiration to many!I'm sorry to read of your yo-yo struggle and would like to suggest Rational Recovery. It's an alternative to A.A., and even thought the author is a little too much anti-AA, his method is very useful and most-importantly: Real. Check it out: Rational.orgThe gist is this: your addiction is a Beast living inside you, it tells you what to do. With RR you learn to identify this beast

Jeremy: I believe that picture of the digital counter, if I'm not mistaken, is counting the national debt.
Priscilla: Raise your hand if you are ready for a LONG weekend at Deerfield Spa! Join me in the Poconos for one of the best weekends of your life! :) Priscilla

Priscilla: Hi world, freezing in PA and trying to get in some outside walking without my lungs feeling like they are going to freeze.Stay warm, keep moving and think spring - Priscilla :)
Priscilla: Hi KC - Trust me, I know even though I am in the majority now by being obese that it isn't "normal" but rather deadly! I was trying to be ironic :) All my life wanting to be normal and now, sadly and not liking it, I am. Still losing and fighting to get fit - Priscilla :)
KC: Hi, Pricilla! Over the years, I keep checking in and wishing you well. But, today's blog about being 'normal' stopped me in my tracks. Obesity is not normal!! Just because so many suffer, does not make it 'normal'. Over half the English population died of the Plague in the 1300's - did that make those deaths 'normal'. Please do not justify illness - especially that which is preventable. Keep watching Biggest Loser - not for the ratings but to see just how much effort is put in by skinny pe
Elma: I have slipped a bit lately too so I know where your coming from.I'm going to follow your lead and get started seriously working on losinfg the fat.(by the way,I was all set to walk with you in St Augustine the other day.What happened to that?I was disappointed.)
Priscilla: Weight for today...356 even. Worked out at the gym, so far - so good on my eating and feeling very fabulous.Come on along, the fitness is feeling fine!Priscilla :)
Priscilla: OMG...sorry to be a cry baby and I know I have NO ONE to blame but me, but my face and my body have gotten so much fatter in the last three months!!! WHY did I stop getting on the scale and let this happen!? Now I am going to be forced to kick my own butt into gear and save myself! Yikes...the videos are horrible...you are warned!
Priscilla: Not only did I survive at the BIG gym, I loved it! I'll tell you all about it tomorrow and upload two little movies I made of myself, before and after, in the car. They will be good for a wee laugh! Have a brilliant Sunday! :)
Priscilla: Confession is good for the soul and the scale. I'm FINALLY doing something about my body again, facing the truth and want you to stick around to see this through. Priscilla :)
Gracie: My kids gave me an awesome exercise bike for Christmas!! And on the book rest is YOUR book!!!! I can read as I peddle...Yippeeeee!!
Gracie: Hey Priscilla! Happy holidays to you and Morton and your family!! I hope the new year brings us ALL many Little Changes!!
Priscilla: Get ready for the time of your life as we make wonderful LITTLE CHANGES together! Take a moment to do something great for yourself today and then pass it on to another person!
Priscilla: Hello world, it's early Saturday morning here and I'm off to see my future, and maybe yours! More details later. Do something SPECIAL today! Priscilla :)
Priscilla: A quick HELLO to Robert in San Fran! Thanks for writing, glad you liked the book and I loved your email. When I tried to write you back, it was returned to me saying your email wasn't accepting any emails. If you send me an alternative email address, I'll forward you my reply! Priscilla :)
Priscilla: Have you ever had this incredible moment in your life where EVERYTHING changes? This morning, way before my alarm went off, was mine. Watch for it and get ready to have your socks knocked off! Priscilla
Priscilla: A huge THANK YOU to the great people who got out there on Sunday and froze with us as we walked the wonderful City Island! Now world, your mission today is to take a 30 min walk & take a friend with you! Priscilla

winnie: hi, nice blog you got here, care to exchange link?
Gracie: Is that a NEW photo of you on the walksoff page Priscilla? Well..if it is...you look FANTASTIC!!!
cindyrella: Hi! Before I go to work, I try to walk on my treadmill at least 10 minutes, then do more in the evening or go to the gym after work, but that 10 minutes really pumps me up and gives me alot of energy. When I don't walk that 10 minutes, I notice I'm very sluggish and tired at work!!!!
Joe: I stopped taking my car to work and now walk the 2 miles each way.
tina: great site
Priscilla: The more the merrier! Sure Clarisse, add away. Anyone that wants to hook up on Yahoo! messenger, my user name is priscillalittlechanges, though I'm not on there a lot. The best way to talk to me is via email. I really do answer all of them! Have a fantastic weekend - Priscilla

Missing family

It always seems to be that I'm on the wrong side of the ocean at the wrong time.  My one sister lives in England and I have another who is going over next month and I'm helping her put together a list of "must see" castles, natural beauty spots and small charming towns that look like they are postcards come to life.

If only I could go along!  It is sad to say, but myself and my two sisters have never even had a lunch alone together (without our kids) and it would be brilliant to have a girls trip.

For the moment I'm needed in Pennsylvania, helping with my lovely grandchildren and of course, trying to get a proper home sorted out.  Not sure how much more of the hideous apartment living Morton and I can bear. 

Oh well, at least they will take loads of photos and there is always next time!

Today I weigh in and I can't wait!  It has been a great eating week except last night I had a fifth of a piece of chocolate cake (it was very small) and then I had a small piece of blackberry pie with 1/2 fat ice cream.  I did opt for the little piece rather then the big one.  I'm sure it won't wreck that much havoc on my weigh in.

I'll keep you posted!
Priscilla
