Hi Yukoner, Just checking in to see how you are? What's been happening? ♥

Hi Yukoner,

I wanted to see how things are going with you ?? I hope you had a successful weekend. It was a little tough with superbowl and all but I kept true to the diet. It's day 15 for me and I'm at 5.5 lbs thus far, a little discouraging but it is what it is and I'm going to keep plugging along and take whatever it gives me. Love to hear how you are doing ?

Hope all is well.

Wow, you're really doing well! Thanks for the note about red wine. I misread it, since I thought it was allowed...no loss, since I don't like it anyway!

That sounds like a great program. Which schools have you been in contact with so far and what has been the response? Just let me know when you'll be here and we can get together. My email is sheilapbell@yahoo.ca  I look forward to meeting you in person.

That would be really nice!  No I have not been there yet, I'm looking forward to it.  My job involves helping schools start breakfast and snack programs for hungry kids in BC and the Yukon and I want to meet with principals and other education officials there as I know there are a lot of challenges that those in the north face with regard to access to fresh fruits etc that we don't have in the Lower Mainland.  I can only do so much by email and phone, it will be great to get up there and actually see some programs in action.  My email is jlwerring@shaw.ca 

Yes, that rivalry was pretty strong in the day lol. I lived in North Van and later in Port Coquitlam for 5 years. I love the Lower Mainland and miss it very much. It is my hope to live there again one day. I agree the Park has changed so much since I lived there I don't even recognize it anymore.

If you do come up to Whitehorse feel free to give me a call and we can meet for lunch or dinner, whichever one would work best for you. Have you ever been to Whitehorse before?

Ah, ABJ - our old arch rivals back in the day!  LOL!  I graduated in 1984 and I live in Surrey BC now, been on the West Coast since 1990.  My Mum still lives in the family house in the Park though so I go back regularly to visit.  It sure has changed a lot.  I may get a chance to visit Whitehorse on business in the spring, I'm looking forward to it.

Hi Writerchick1,

That is so cool. No, I didn't go to Sal Comp, I went to Archbishop Jordan High. And I was probably 4 grades ahead of you. I graduated in 1980...OMG that sounds like such a lifetime ago...LOL

Do you still live in SP? I moved from Alberta in 1991. I still have family in the area and try to go back as often as I can, but sometimes years pass before I'm able to get back.

Yukoner, you grew up in Sherwood Park?  Me too!  I'm 44, we may even know one another!  Did you go to Sal Comp?
