Good evening everyone, today was my birthday and I went out to lunch with my son, I had steak fajitas. Then I went shopping and finally found a new comforter, and also bought some summer clothes and shoes. Had a good day, my hubby bought me flowers and a balloon. Janice0

Nancy not losing any but My blood sugar and blood pressure are doing great. And my doctor is more concern about those than my weight. So I guess I can't complain. I am going to reread his book again maybe I am doing something wrong.
This is an exciting weekend for me. We are having a delay Easter egg hunt and all of my kids gran kids and great ones and great great ones will be there My son will be in Thursday from St. Louis. I can hardly wait.

Hi all. Had a great day here. It wasn't raining!!!! Actually got almost up to 50 today!!!! Finally got a new chicken wire fence put up to keep my little dogs in my yard. It is actually the backyard neighbors fence but he doesn't care if his dog gets in my yard or my dog in his yard. But I care about my dogs in everyone else's yards. As a responsible pet owner I had to fix his fence so my dogs could be safe from big dogs. It was a 2 man job so I had to wait for hubby to get off the ferry first. Finally got the junk in the yard takes up too today. I'm tired of little long haired dogs bringing the trees into the house. I also got the car out to the repair shop. My brakes are a little funky. I'm tired. No idea why
but all in all it was a great day.

Happy Birthday Janice sorry I missed it!
Today was sunny and cool but I did get my 10,000 steps in and walked at the arena for 30 mins.
Choir practice tonight and hope to pay for the bump incident to the car I bumped and get that
off my plate. I will be getting another estimate from Paula so I hope it is lower than the other one.
I have a choir performance on Saturday but we are only doing 3 songs so it will be short and sweet.
Then we can relax and watch the other performers. The theme will be songs from Broadway plays.
Nancy - I like the new picture!
Have a great day!
Shirley0 -
Morning, misfit losers! Happy Wednesday!
Shirley..your upcoming performance sounds like fun.
Just checking in for a bit and will return later.
Stay strong!

It was over 50 yesterday and I broke out my shorts!!!! (And no I wasn't cold)

Hi everyone,
Just finished helping cut the grass before we get the storms forecast for us tonight and tomorrow.
Be safe Marie!!!
Hope everyone is doing ok.
Nancy0 -
Good afternoon, I have been running around alot lately, so today I plan on just staying home. I changed sheets and put my new comforter on. It's pretty but now I need to pull down the valance, I have up over my curtains, it really doesn't match very well. We are suppose to get storms here tomorrow, it's already cloudy here today. But suppose to get to 72. I am going to make a big salad and do something with leftover ham for dinner. Gotta run. Janice0

The storm seems to have move on East of us. I guess heading your way Nancy. it was a mild one for us no thunder and lighting or high winds. Just rain.And did not lose TV either.There was damage in other parts but left us out of harm way. But we still have a long way for all of these spring storms
My doctor sent some pain pills out and took one today. But They made me feel like I had a low blood sugar all afternoon so I will not be able to take them. I plan on making a tablecloth tomorrow.
Sleep tight misfits.

I managed to get the lawn fertilized. We have a front moving in that should be here by the weekend. No mowing the lawn 1-2 days after fertilizing so I spread it on the wet grass this morning. We have had sunshine since Easter. So I used the sun to get my lawn in shape. Bonuses weed and feed so I get two things done at once. Then I mix moss out in with it and really multi task. Yard is all set for hubby to mow tomorrow afternoon.0

Morning, losers! Happy Thursday!
Marie..some pain meds sap all your strength..maybe cut in half or a fourth. Will you use your new tablecloth for dinner when grands are here? Glad you dodged the storms. They are expected here tonight/tomorrow.
Janice...I have not bought much for the new house except screen porch furniture. We had custom blinds put in, but I may not hang curtains this time. I am loving the clean, fresh, airy look in the rooms.
Hello to all you other misfits! Hope you are well.
Knee/leg is feeling much better. My daughter came over and gave me a leg massage. The muscles are very tight so I need to step up my stretches. It's time to pull out the yoga DVD and use it at least twice a week. Will go to the store today and take dog to groomer.
Make it a great day, losers!

Good afternoon everyone, I was really busy yesterday and got over 10,000 steps in. My salad and casserole were good. It is raining today and strong storms are coming later on. My hubby cut our grass for the first time this year. It looks so much better.
Connie-I originally just had blinds in my house, but the morning sun was so bright coming thru, it especially bothered us on the weekend when we were off of work. Now that I dont work outside the home, it really would bother me without curtains. If you like the way it is now, I wouldn't add curtains. I have been looking at patio furniture lately, I would like a small set for the deck and a new one for the patio. My patio set is getting old, but it's not mandatory for me to purchase, the small set is really what I need. We'll see. I am glad your knee is feeling better.
Have a great day everyone, will check back later.Janice

Good afternoon ladies,
Our weather was not bad yesterday but it might get rough late today and tonight. Sun is out and is heating up which is not good.
Doing house cleaning and laundry. Don't know about you but the older I get the more I dislike cleaning house!!! Just saying!!!
Stay safe.

Connie - Sounds like you and I have the same knee problems. I have to stretch my leg too and do calf
stretches almost everyday and that keeps the knee from hurting. I had my last treatment at the chiropractor today for my knee and will keep up the stretches.
Marie - Your company is approaching now I hope you will be ready. I agree with Connie about the pain
pills maybe take half or a quarter and see how your blood sugar is.
Esther- I can't believe you are mowing your lawn already. We have rain today and tomorrow and then
another polar vortex is coming for the weekend and possibly snow. I hope it's the last for awhile. Our lawn is drenched.
Hi to Nancy and Janice!
Shirley0 -
Hi ladies!
We too are expecting storms over night. We need the rain to wash away the pollen but I don't like storms overnight usually wakes me.
We've cut our grass once and it's ready again but we are waiting for the pollen to wash away first.
Nancy - I am still following the starch solution in so far as not eating meat/drinking or eating dairy. I have to track though. The weight is not coming off but I feel so much better!?! Not sure what to do. Maybe I'll find something else to get the weight loss and then switch to starch solution/tracking for maintenance?? Not sure yet. I really like everything about how my body feels/functions on starch.
Another new month is staring us down!
Ruthie0 -
yes I am in the same boat Ruthie. I am re reading his book buck still no clue what I am doing wrong. Still eating potatoes, beans no meat no dairy no oil.But I am containing fluids from my congested heart failure. I will keep plugging along for it has made a change in my medications. Have not been having to used the fast acting insulin in a while I am still on My lantuse but it is cut way down. I was taking 30 units at night time and down to 12 units now. I will continue cuting back on it till I get it way down. My doctor says a little at a time. So it is cut in half. in 3 months

@CALIECAT
@JLoRuthie I agree there are benefits on the starch solution. I feel satisfied with the food and I sleep really well since being on SS which is great.
The negative for me is the bloat and not losing.
Decisions!!!

@eyegirl777va When do you go for your lab work Nancy?

Marie, On April 20.

That's ok Shirley I can't believe we are mowing the lawn this early either. And it has been bright green grass all winter long. Normally it gets brown and icky in December and January. But not this year. And it was about 7 inches long too. We have had some heavy dew in the mornings but gorgeous sunshine. It was over 60 today!!!!!!!!!
I'm still trying to find a day to be lazy. My feet are really bothering me because of the shoes I wear day in and day out. The aches are from poor support but it is all o can wear because of the difference in length. I am also having troubles with my dry suit. I am getting pool water in my feet. I am going to send my suit off to California for some testing and repair so I get to deal with the Junkie's Itch again. But it is only temporary so I will survive. And I hate to see it happen but the weather is changing as well. My knees are really bothering me again because of the front coming in. This week was awesome. I got plenty done outside. I have also noticed my hair is bleaching in all the sun.
Esther0 -
Good morning, losers! Happy Friday!
Shirley...I just ordered a stretching DVD that I will do whether I exercise or not. I need to make that a daily habit. It took nearly a week for the pain to go away and walking on it was tough. Daughter massaged several knots on that leg.
Nancy..I don't like housework either and there is a fine layer of dust from pollen (and the building of houses) that comes back everyday, so it's hard to keep stuff clean.
Marie..having to take less meds is a win-win in my book!
Ruthie...rain last night and continuing this morning..hope it washes the pollen away.
Not much planned for today. My knee/leg is back to normal, but I am still not doing any exercise until next week. This is a great day to relax since it's raining.
Have a great weekend, losers!

No rain here today for change, but the temps will plummet tonight. Choir rehearsal tomorrow and
then performance at night, a busy Saturday. Sunday will be Isaac's birthday party and our long drive
there but that's okay I would go even farther to see him.
A spontaneous day at the hotel/health club with a friend from Yoga class. She is looking for a Maala
bead necklace, I have to look up the spelling since I have no spell check on the site. The necklaces
are meditation necklaces that you wear around your neck. The cost at the gift shop was over a $100
so I didn't purchase one but she wanted to make one for herself. She is going to do some research
on it first. We had a nice lunch at the Play Cafe and I ordered a barley soup and ceasar salad.
Now home again and still have dust my bedroom so off I go!

Hi ladies,
