    Good morning, friends! Happy Good Friday!

    Steph...good for your son for reaching out to others! Cutting cardio is a good idea; too much cortisol is what stresses the body keeping it from shedding the pounds.

    Sonya..congrats on your degree! That is fantastic! What's next?

    Shirley..I'm waiting to see that movie...love Maggie Smith.

    No haircut for me this weekend...lol. My appointment is a few weeks away. It's gym day for me then a pedicure.
    What are you guys fixing for Easter dinner?

    Take care.

    Sunny,

    Congrats on your masters!! that is amazing, so proud of you! I'm not sure i would have it in me to go back to school now. i do have my MBA and am always thinking about taking new classes, i feel sort of obsolete because i received it over 20 years ago ands much has changed in the world of business.

    in terms of eating, you sound like it is balancing out, at least everyday is not bad:) Atkins sounds like it works. i am shooting for balance but just taking me a long time to figuring it out:)

    hope everyone has a nice holiday!

    Happy birthday Ruth!!!!!!

    My plans for Easter.......the rest of my family will be going to church on Sunday. I politely avoid church on Easter. Incense is a Catholic thing that I am deathly allergic to. Within seconds my asthma is flaring up, a migraine starting and if I don't get out fast enough I will pass out and hit the floor. And all this happens within about 60 seconds. The last time it happened I wound up in the emergency room for most of a day because of the asthma. So needless to say I will be Easter bunny again this year. I just hope it is sunny and I can hide eggs outside in the yard. For dinner we will be going out to a friends house. I have been friends with him and his mom for about 20 years now and his dogs are friends with my dogs so everyone is happy except my parents. My mom has been getting unbearable to have around much. I'm not sure if her mind is going or if it is just her blood sugar but one minute she can be fine and the next she is out for blood and no one is spared. My friends don't want to be around he and neither does my hubby or teenager. And I also have an issue with her the day before deciding she wants to make plans for dinner. I have had our dinner plans in place for over 2 weeks now. We are having ham,scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole, chocolate pudding and pumpkin pie.

    Good afternoon, Happy Birthday Ruth!! For Easter we are going to my MIL's, my husband has 4 sisters and they do all events. We will bring some kind of dessert, I guess, that's what they usually want us to bring.
    Not much has been going on this week, our Deals went to 50% off and I went and bought several things. I dont need hair cut but I am going to color my hair before Sunday, it's due.
    It's cold here today right now only 41 degrees.
    I plan on cooking a small ham later today, for supper. Have a good weekend everyone. Janice

    Happy Birthday Ruth! I hope you enjoy your day.

    Janice I plan to color my hair too. AL of a sudden I'm getting a lot of gray on the sides :/

    Connie I have put in several application for teaching Middle school science. I was a house wife for many year. Then I became a substitute teacher so I could still be available for my children. I am finally starting a career at 43 years old and I'm really excited.

    So I'm really surprised but my scale is saying I'm down 1.6 lbs. :)

    Today is pouring down rain. But that's ok. Had a great walk in it anyway. Today was a suicide awareness 1 mile walk or a 5k run. This cripple don't run so I walked it with my 2 teenage girls. The one has contemplated suicide numerous times and tried once. Her sister has tried twice. Both times she was hospitalized overnight from her od. Luckily she is still with us. Thankfully both girls have been diagnosed with depression and are being treated for it now. The walk/run is out at one of our recreation lakes. There is a trail around it just under 2 miles around. Everyone gets a white shirt to wear and all along the way there are people with powdered tempra paint throwing paint powder on you as you go along the trail so when you get to the end you have a rainbow "tie-dyed" shirt. The rain helped set the paint into the shirts. The girls really thought it was lots of fun and a great cause too.

    And Janice. It's only 43 here today. At least it isn't white crap that I have to shovel.

    Esther.

    No white crap here and I think it will miss us. Yay!

    Hubby and I went for an hour walk around the neighborhood and then after my knee started hurting, I hope this
    isn't things to come. I know my weight has to do with it too, so that is another story, I won't bore you.
    I have been getting treatments at the chiropractor and it has helped.

    I just finished making ground turkey chili for dinner and now making make ahead mashed potatoes for
    tomorrow's dinner.

    Ruthie- I hope you had a wonderful birthday!

    Sunny- Congrats on the lower weight today, keep up the good work.

    I better get back to my potatoes.

    Good morning, losers! Happy Monday!

    I hope all of you had a great Easter weekend and are ready to jump into spring with renewed hope and determination to be healthy. I am not planning on much today as my knee has been achy the last few days.

    Make it a great day, friends!

    If not now, when?

    I hope all my losers had a beautiful Easter weekend.

    We got a good bit of rain over the weekend which has helped our pollen count finally drop.

    Planning on a beach vacation next month and really looking forward to that! I'm ready for a break.

    I hope everyone has a strong, happy week!

    Good morning,

    Beautiful day but lots of rain coming Wednesday and Thursday.

    I decided to do a selfie yesterday so I could change my profile picture. Not into doing selfies but that is what I came up with.

    Have not decided what I want to do today but will probably clean house and do laundry.

    Have a good day.

    Hello Losers,

    We had a quiet Easter with my hubby and mother in law. The weather was exceptional and we had
    drinks on the patio. We have some left overs because I made a turkey only 10 lbs. Lots of veges for
    tonight's dinner. I made up a plate for my mother in law to take home too.

    Today is rain, rain and high winds. I did make it to yoga class and went on my bike for 15 mins.
    Now doing laundry and watching some TV.

    Take care

    @JLoRuthie
    Are you still doing the starch solution???
    I am not losing anything after the initial few pounds. Not up or down just staying the same??? Think I will abandon this plan after my lab work for my physical on April 20. Have not had any meat with the exception of one ribeye since I started on February 9. So hoping my blood work will be good. It is easy except the bloat and no weight loss!!!

    @CALIECAT Marie how is the starch plan working for you???
