Enjoyed catching up with all your posts, and wish I could find time to comment as you are so dear to me. I didn't see JERI's report of the 2nd mammo, so I hope everything turns out well! Same for BOB's PF and any other problems, and I'll try to get in more frequently. Mike wants to see our head nurse with me ( to convince me it's my imagination), and I think it's important that we go together. I also think it's possible his new medication has calmed him down somewhat. Others have noticed a slight change, too.
The VA visit went OK, and I think it's important he not lose touch with them, as some of the new medications are so expensive! Anyway, have lots to catch up with, so please know I'm thinking of you all.

BUZZ, I really am sorry that such a nice lady as you is having these medical problems to deal with. I don't know how the American system works but I realize just how lucky I am because, so far, I don't take any medications at all, not even aspirin. I just have to pay for any dental work or new reading glasses every two years. Anyway, I'm just dropping a line to let you know I'm really interested in your posts and I do hope everything turns out well for you and Mike soon. ANNE.0

What Are My Treatment Options?
Lin
Lin thank you so much for putting this together for me. I've been doing much of this but definitely have so see a doctor. I'll check some out today.
BARBIE - I know what you mean, it is so hard to take it easy. I hate it.
Shirley and Sandy - yes I need to see a doctor.
Thank you Anne.
Had so much fun this weekend with our granddaughters. What a treat to have them for 3 nights. We had the easy job, the other grandparents had the 4 boys and 2 of them got sick. Gee
Anyway have a great day.

Happy Monday!!
It is supposed to get to 75 degrees today but I see no sun as of yet.
I was hoping to take Robby for a walk in his stroller but his mom texted and said she forgot her pump and will be taking a half day off. She wouldn't make it through the day without pumping so they have called in a sub. (sorry Bob if that is TMI) My cleaning girl is coming around noon so I am doing laundry, including the sheets so everything is fresh. Still haven't caught up with all my shows so now that my afternoon is free I can ride the bike and try and catch up.
Today I am back to recording food and exercise. I only have 4 to 5 pounds to meet my goal, so wish me luck,
The nice weather must have everyone doing something outside, enjoy!!
Here is another picture of most of our group in Haiti!!

One Day at a Time0 -
Heading out soon. Jean has her mammogram this morning.
Always a nervous time, as her mother died from breast cancer etc. I asked if she wanted me to come with her and she said “yes.” Hard at times to always know the right thing to do. Most of the time (unless out of town), I like to do my doctor appointments alone. I think I picked up some of that from my dad. He hid his prostate cancer from all 7 of his adult children for 5 years and only told us after he was given 6-12 months to live. He was very independent and liked to do things for himself. I was blessed to be his caregiver for the last 6 months of his life.
NSV: Yesterday, we attended baby dedication. Three people (I hadn’t seen in a long time) said they didn’t recognize me!
One person asked someone who I was. Another indicated they could now see a physical resemblance to my younger nephews and that “it looked like I belonged in the group with them” (one of those funny compliments) and finally - the usual surprised look and question - “what did you do?”
It can be awkward in those situations when surrounded by dozens of family members and friends. There are those doing their own weight-battle (some with success and others with failures). I don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable, so I pretty much just say “thank you” and only answer direct questions. But - it was nice to hear.
Started the day with - burning 330 calories doing 60 minutes of cardio exercises, including "Walking treadmill gym 3.2. mph” and a light breakfast.
I need to catch up on everyone’s posts later today or tomorrow.
HAPPY MONDAY TO ALL!

Hello everyone. My visitor left Saturday evening after we watched an international rugby match together on tv but yesterday I was busy catching up with all the chores I didn't do last week so have finally arrived on the MFP site to catch up. This evening before dark, my neighbour will help me rearrange my bee hives because they are set up on stands that are just a bit too high once the boxes that collect honey are placed on top. The weather is quite chilly so I'm sort of confident the ladies won't get upset at being moved about and stay in the hive but we'll wear out bee suits just in case as have been caught out before!! Haven't been near the weigh scales and dread to see what damage I've done what with nibbly treats and cheese I don't normally indulge in that my friend filled my fridge with. I know, I could have declined but it seemed ungrateful. Back on the straight and narrow now though so will weigh in on Friday in the hopes I'm not doing too badly.
Bob ~ Great video and you're looking hot! LOL Half expected your wife to walk through that door in one corner and tell you to behave! I'm thinking of you both and do hope it's all good news from the mammogram.
Buzz ~ Isn't that a good sign that Mike asked you to join him for the visit to the doctor. Do let us know how things are for you both when you can but I understand that sometimes life takes over and the computer is the at the bottom of your priority list.
Sandy ~ Fabulous photos and so good to see you enjoying family and all that comes with them.
Now I'll say hello to Anne, Lin, Shirley, Jeri, Marie, Barbie and all my other MFP friends before going out to unblock a rather noisy drain. It's a job I've been putting off for a week for obvious reasons but needs must!!
Will do my best to get back into the groove in the coming week.

My fisherman is home and they did catch some so we will have Tom over for a dinner.
Not feeling great today, started last night with achy feeling and still not 100% today.
I am having some kind of bug. No Yoga this morning and just doing laundry. Giving myself a break on exercise.
After my bachelorette weekend with myself I had popcorn twice at night watching TV and
Dave brought back peanuts and had some of them too. Got on the scale this morning and was disheartened but expected it.
Back to getting to my routine, since back from vacation I have not been in a good place with my routine. Things have to change.
Better times ahead.

Heading out soon. Jean has her mammogram this morning.
Always a nervous time, as her mother died from breast cancer etc.
I know how she feels, my sister (twice), myself and 2 aunts have had breast cancer and check up time always worries me too. Good luck.
Buzz - I think the 2nd mammo was okay. I see my doctor next week n

Monday morning chores a plenty. My mom always said how great it was to have things to do and the health and need to meet those obligations. It was her way of keeping fit and positive. She was a "Pollyanna" for sure. But a delightful southern belle.
I want to really cut back on portions this week. I am eating too much of everything except water. I don't know why it tastes sooooo...watery!
I have noticed how everyone wants to get back to their individual routines if they have strayed. There is comfort in routine and familiar. There is always a desire for adventure and exploration.
That ever present balance challenge.
I loved the video and the treadmill dancer...wouldn't you love to be able to do that? I am doing Laundry, washing a few more windows, and a walk with amazing Mazzy and MoMo the wonder dog!

Sandy – I’m still waiting for our weather hits the 50’s on a regular basis – the rest of this week will be mostly in the 30’s still. The outlook for next Sunday is a high of 30 and a low of 14! Robby is certainly cute as a button. Thanks for noticing the years I shaved off in that video. Can you believe some people don’t believe it is me? LOL
You killed me with the TMI comment. Not to worry. Unlike, “Gone With The Wind’s” maid Prissy I can’t say “I don’t know nothin’ ’bout birthing babies…” - I have a huge family with nephews and nieces well into the double-digits. Good luck with that final 4-5 pounds! You and the group looked awesome in Haiti!

Lin – Glad U liked that video too. I thought it was hilarious. I don’t watch a lot of videos, but my wife is always checking out various animal videos.
Marie -- Anne is right. We need to have Barbie set up a dance program for the treadmill. What better choreographer could we have?
Jackie / Jeri – All went well with the mammogram with the usual – “you’ll get a letter” caveat. Thanks!
Patsy – You’re right – wish I could do that. It’s funny, sometimes I catch myself getting lost in the music while listening to the Bee Gees or Sam & Dave singing “Soul Man” and realize I am “strutting.” LOL
As for this afternoon -
Burning 330 on the treadmill and eating a tiny 122 calorie breakfast for a negative net calorie total of (-) 208 will not allow me a 3rd meal today.
Why?
Because I finally used that Cantina Laredo gift card I have been holding onto for over 1 year (until I could reach goal). Lunch was fabulous!
Despite skipping the beans & rice, the meal was still very calorie-rich; especially when it came to sharing a decadent dessert with my wife.
I would say I “split” the dessert, but I think I got a spoonful or 2 more than she did. YUM!
I should be able to stay under my maintenance calorie goal – by a whisker or 2.
Have a great evening my friends!

love the pic Shirley. you too make a handsome couple. soon to be grandma and papa
Marie0 -
Just like Marie, I love the picture too Shirley!
And I love Sandy's picture!
Glad to see Jackie back again.
Jeri, I hope you find a solution to the foot problem. Glad you had fun with the GDs and that no one got sick.
Bob, it sounds like you had a wonderful lunch. And I hope your dear wife receives an all clear letter in the mail. I think all of us hold our breath a bit when having that test. The technician where I go makes no comment whatsoever so I just have to wait for the letter.
Anne - is the snow all gone now??
Sorry, I was so busy today and did get a lot accomplished but now I am TIRED. I think I need a nap. Ha.
See everyone again soon. It really did get very warm today and I adored doing my errands this afternoon with the car windows rolled down. So tomorrow, high in the 50's. I really did enjoy 80 today.
Lin0 -
Shirley, you and Dave are a very handsome couple and you look so happy together. It's wonderful to see. That goes for all the other happy couples here as well.
Lin, no the snow hasn't quite gone yet, I've got quite a mound still at the sides of my drive, but where it has receded, my little snowdrops bloom. Should be all gone by the end of the week.
Bob, thanks for the posting on "just for today", and thanks for your humour too.
Jackie, glad to hear from you, and your very interesting doings!
As for me, I didn't have a good day yesterday. My little cat was really sick, and at her age I didn't think she'd make it through the night. However, I was greeted this morning at 5.30 by a faint meow, and she's finally eaten a little bit of her food. She's sat next to me dozing on the sofa now.
Hope your day today, ALL OF YOU SNEAKERS, is a good day, with nothing in it but good news.
Anne.

What a grand day it is to be irish! Just for fun I got out my photo copy of my great grandmothers immigration papers. I also have a rather strange copy of a photo portrait of her. Unsmiling and with a look that makes me think she either had a tummy ache or she was very angry at my grand grandfather?
Anne, I am so sorry your kitty is sick. I know how it is when your best pal is getting older. Our old furry sweethearts are so fragile. Can you get her into see a vet? My friend I wish I could help in some way. I do understand your worry and fear.
Patsy0 -
I still love good old Snoopy........
Bob---great picture. Our parade is going on right now. A quick bit on noon news shows the streets are just slammed with people and my gosh, it's pretty chilly out there after our high 84 degrees yesterday.
Anne - I hope your dear kitty feels better soon. And sorry the snow isn't gone. We may get some more before spring really arrives but at least we don't have months of cold ahead.
Marie - hello, I was at Walmart this morning.......it's been so long since I was there since I don't have to pick up supplies for my dad now. I walked and walked all over that store and got nary a step on my Fitbit because I was pushing a cart the entire time. Kind of a problem with the Fitbit Charge HR. Harumph. Well, doesn't matter, just moving matters!
Patsy - don't you think most of the pictures from way back show more solemn people? It was usually formal portrait taking and they sure didn't have fast shutter speeds so people just froze in place. I have a bit of Irish in my background. My grandmother's people were Irish, Scottish, English and German. So I have my green on today.
Shirley - I hope you feel better soon. I am sorry you are not at your best. Do you think you have a little virus?
Barbie - sorry you have a cold. I see you are still going on as if you are well.

PATSY, thank you for your concern. Tabitha's eaten a little today and managed to keep it down. Tabs can be one greedy puss, and that may be the problem because at 17 she needs to slow down. Aging innards. Anyway, I'll leave her alone a little longer, but if she has more trouble I will see the vet. I was upset last night because she will be my last pet at my age, it wouldn't be fair to get another one. I've had pets my entire life so it will be very strange when I have to live alone. We chat, her and I, she's a very vocal cat, so I can see me ending up being an eccentric old dear who mumbles to herself! Thanks again, you're a dear and I know you understand from what you've said about your own furry friends. ANNE.0

Happy Tuesday!! Now I know I shouldn't admit this but after picking up Cruzer's ashes from the Vet I stopped at the slot machine place. I started out losing but then started winning and left with $2000. Never has this happened before and although I know it will never happen again it sure made me happy. The van people in Florida also called yesterday to tell me they found Bryanna's jacket so it was a terrific day yesterday. Please don't do as I do as I only take what I can afford to lose and would never suggest anyone to gamble or drink. Do as I say not as I do.
Barbie, hope you are feeling better today and not giving in to that cold. The dancers need you and so do the puppies and Jake.
Lin, Walmart is my favorite store for groceries as well as other good bargains.
Shirley, love your picture of you and your hubby, you make a great looking couple.
Hope you are feeling better today.
Anne, so sorry about your kitty, I hope she is feeling better today. It is just too sad when our pets get older, they should live as long as we do meaning a long, long time.
Bob, I love your sense of humor and I am sure your wife laughs at your jokes a lot.
Marie, you seem to be quiet lately, are you feeling okay?
Hopefully Robby is down for his afternoon nap, I hear him talking. I will either nap or ride the bike but either way I will get on the bike sometime today. I did lose a little but I don't count it unless it is on Friday weigh in day.
Have a great day.

Sandy - We do laugh a lot --Jean is at the nursing home now visiting a long-time friend...so I threw together something quick for her dinner with an Irish touch. She isn't big on corned beef, so I substituted ham.
As for Cruzer's ashes -- whatever brings comfort. We have "TC's" at home too. (TC was a 20 yr-old cat). Did you say $2000.00 and you wanted my mailing address? LOL
Lin - Still jealous weather wise -- they just lowered our projected "high" for this coming Sunday to 28 or 29F. Brrrrrrr. Not exactly spring!
Anne -- Looks like more cabbage in the future today - here is Jean's meal she has yet to see.
Have a great day everyone!
Bob 0 -
Sandy - WOW!!! What a win!!! Congratulations........
Bob - astounding meal you've put together. You have the soul of an artist in all things.
I am thinking of eating. I need to get back to being PERFECT in eating only when hungry rather than just eating because it is time to eat or I think---wow, I'd better eat because my kitchen closes at 7pm and any snacks constitute a *fail* day for me. So wish me well. I have my salad ready but am not really really hungry so I'll wait a while longer.
Lots of GREEN stuff in my salad but it is not photogenic so I will pass on pictures....
Haaaaaa.
Lin0 -
Lin, I eat on a planned schedule because I have no idea what being hungry means. My meals are either identical or similar from day to day and I eat at almost exactly the same time every day.
My cold is hanging on. Jake slept in the guest room so we wouldn't keep each other awake. I walked the dogs as usual and took an afternoon nap. I lowered my step goal for the day rather than push myself too hard. We opted out of corned beef and cabbage today because of the enormous amount of sodium
.I'm off to bed early again. Barbie 0
