Marie...are you drinking any water? Give Missy time...dogs are selfish...they get the treat then do what they want to do after! We sometimes have to bribe Cooper with a treat to get him out to pee in the evening! Try rolling a ball toward her next time she gets a treat. Maybe she will play.

Hi everyone,
Been a long day sitting with Ben for his treatment.
Marie, Don't give up on Missy!!! I bet she will become more friendly with time. Connie had a good idea of
rolling a ball to her!!! She will want to play before long.
Really getting tired of the knee problem because it limits what I can do and I am not happy with that.
It's hard enough to lose weight when you exercise!!!! But I know this too shall pass!!!
Nice and warm today.

Connie, Thanks0

Nancy........ believe me I also feel your pain and know the frustrations that go with it. That is how most of my life has been. I have had bad knees all my life. Now that I have gotten my new knee I have found a new lease on life.
We have had a cold winter this year. We were due for on anyway. Last October we had below 32 degrees for most of the month which is very unusual. November was rainy. December we have been under 32 degrees for most of the month and we had about 4 inches of snow 2 different times. In years past I would be almost house bound in this kind of weather. But now I can get out and about. My center of gravity has been shifted back to where it should be. When the knee was so bad my center of gravity shifted and my balance was all messed up. I have seen a few friends that I haven't seen in most of a year and they all commented that I look 10 years younger now. I have had other friends ask me why I am so hyper now too. I told them it's because I have the physical ability to keep going and no more frustration because the pain was so intense. I can hike. Ride bikes. Watch football games in the stadium. I more wishing I could just more doing now!!!!!

Morning, losers!
Lots of sun here this morning with temps predicted to get in the 70s. I am going out to run errands in a few minutes and then will continue to prepare for the baby shower. Doing a little each day as not to get overwhelmed.
I hope all of you are doing well, eating well, and dedicated to getting and staying as healthy as possible. I have been treading lightly this week so I can enjoy myself Saturday.
Nancy and Shirley...I hope your knee pain is better.

I had my chiro apt. this morning and she is massaging the front of my knee now, trying some different things. It is so painful, but she did the same with the back of my knee and it is much better now with hardly any pain when massaged. It is a process and I have a long while yet before the MRI and still need an apt with ortho doctor. I only have one apt. for next week because we are going to see our grandson Monday and Tuesday next week.
I am not doing well with trying to keep a 1200 calorie count for the diet clinic. My calories are usually 1400-1500. I have gained some weight over the holidays so still trying to take that off. I might be
quitting this clinic as of March, my next apt. with my doctor, I have not learned anything new.
I plan on restorative yoga tonight and then relaxing. I still have ice my knee.

Shirley sorry you are still having problems with your knee.

Marie - Don't give up on Missy, it might take her a while to warm up. She has been to a lot of other owners by what you told us, so she might think she might be moving again somewhere else. Patience.
So sorry to hear about your fall, I fell down our stairs at home in December, and all I could think of was my knee. But no worse, knee didn't get worse but I was bruised all up the left side of my arm.
Please be careful you might want to talk to Alice about "Life Line" you wear it around your neck in case you fall and you press a button and the ambulance will come and get you or the paramedics. Something to think about.
I had aqua fit today and now for some ironing. Dave and Dennis, our neighbor, just picked up the
fallen fence in our yard due to the wind storm last week. A new fence will have to constructed in the Spring or Summer.
Shirley0 -
Morning, losers!
Marie...glad you are not hurt and glad you are growing to like your sodium-free diet.
I just returned from my training and Aquazumba. Now I need to prep food for tomorrow and get the dog out for a walk. Lots of sun and warm temps today...a far cry from last weekend. Hope you all have a great day.
Connie0 -
Marie-So glad you'really okay and the fall did not hurt you. I cooked 2 casseroles yesterday, because I made alot of rotini noodles I needed to use. They turned out good.
Esther-That's is wonderful you feel like you have a new lease on life and feel like doing so much more. Even better with your friends, saying you look 10 years younger.
Connie-Your weather sounds nice, it has been rainy alot this week. But it wasnt cold, until today. You must be getting excited with the baby coming soon. I hope the baby shower, brings them alot of nice things.
Shirley and Nancy-I hope your knees are doing better.
My husband's 1st cousin died Tuesday, so tonight, we are going to the funeral home, and the funeral tomorrow. I did not know him, but I did know of him. My husband use to stay at his aunt house some on weekends, they had three sons, to play with, also they lived down the street from them. Besides at his house were 4 sisters, his aunts house was full of boys.
Have a good weekend everyone. Janice0 -

Afternoon, misfits!
The baby shower was wonderful, and my son and wife loved it! I clocked in 15,000+ steps so I got my exercise in. I was too busy to eat much and was glad to send stuff home with guests.
Yesterday was my husband's 70th b-day which was fun but was overshadowed by my son getting a text from their vet. Their dog has been in the hospital this past week, was thought to be recovering nicely but took a turn for the worse Sunday morning. He was diagnosed with Cushings a. They are putting him to sleep today. It just breaks my heart. He is 12 and was a gift from her parents. She and my son had been a dating for a year before she got him so he was truly a big part of their lives. So sad.
Make it a great day!
Connie0 -

Sorry about your son dog. Our pets means so much to us

Marie0 -
Connie, I am so sorry about your son's dog. That is so heartbreaking.
Marie, good news about Missy warming up to you and Jerry. 0 -
Morning, losers!
Hope all of you are doing well and on plan. I am back on track after several days of crazy eating. It's strange that I could not eat during the shower but after it, I felt like I was starving! It's good I did not have any of the really salty, sugary stuff left. I made a big pot of veggie soup from leftover veggies from the tray so that will be my meals for the next couple of days. I think most of the eating was emotional, though, and I have still not learned not to eat in response to high stress.
Marie..glad you are ordering your groceries and that Missy is responding!
The weather is crazy here...will be in the high 70s today.
Make it a great day!

I am baking some apples in my oi less fryer I been having some nearly everyday. While at Walmart yesterday i loaded up on apples. They must have had a bumper crop on apples for Walmart this year for Walmart had Bags and bags of them. They make such good snacks.Our weather stinks it is cloudy and cool has been for several days now. I guess spring is drawing near. Dandelions will be blooming very soon.
I am having a rice bowl for dinner tonight.
Have a good one today.
Marie0 -
Morning, losers!
Hope all of you are doing well and will make it a great, healthy day! Marie, your apples sound delicious.
Connie0 -
Morning Losers,
Marie - Glad to hear Missy is finally bonding with you and Jerry. Just takes time. I hope you are doing better after your fall.
Connie - It sounds like the baby shower was a success!! Not to worry about the treats this too shall pass. Emotional eating is my problem to and trying to get a handle on it. Sorry for your son losing his family pet, always hard to get over.
Janice - Sorry to hear about your family's loss, sometimes its easier going to funeral's of people we don't know that well, the emotion is not as prevalent.
Our weather has been gloomy and gray for days now and raining everyday. Our temperatures will be in the 40's F. later this week. Dinner tonight with some sailing friends at a chinese restaurant, so tomorrow will be a day of getting rid of sodium. Lots of water. I have a chiropractor apt. this morning.

Did get my hair cut yesterday.
Today is my baby girl 60th Birthday. Will be going to her party her husband is hosting Saturday.
Alice husband Jim has been down with the cold for over a week now , Hope she does not get it.
Missy says bring on the long lost Sunshine. She loves to romp in the back yard. When the sun is out. NOT so much with cloudy and misty rain.
Do have a wonderful day Nancy, Janice and all the misfits. I love Connie posting every day. And always so nice to keep up with my dear friend Shirley she lives such an interesting life always on the go.
Love Marie0 -

Gloomy and rainy day again and temperatures rising.
Shirley0 -
Marie, All the bad weather was south of us. We just had lots of rain. Another round of bad weather tonight and tomorrow.
Nancy0 -
Morning, misfits!
It's foggy but warm here. I'm not sure what I will do today. Planning the baby shower was a great project that kept me busy and now I need something else. Thinking about volunteer work but hate to be committed to any time frame...too much like having a job!
Guess I will have to start working in my coloring book. Yep, I ordered one and have used it once. Anything is better than mindless eating even if what your're eating is healthy.
Make it a good one, losers! I hope all of you are doing well.

Morning folks. Well i am up and being unproductive as usally I certainly need to get involed in my sewing. My problems now is I can't thread a needle anymore. I guess I need to get Jerry to move my embroidery machine in front of the window for it has an automatic threader.
Had my oatmeal this morning no baked apple yet. Yesterday I put 1/4 of teaspoon Of all fruit apricot preserve in the center hole and really baked up nicely in my no oil fryer. also cook up some chunk of veggies and bake them, or roasted I guess. with some rice. good eating too. That fryer is becoming my go to. for my meals very handy.
Be productive Misfits. in these dead of winter days.0 -
Morning misfits,
All is well at our house but more bad weather south of us. Tornado early this morning with at least 4 fatalities.
Connie, I am with you on needing something to do but like you said I don't want to have commitments that I have to work around. Too much like a job!!!
No plans for today.
