    Good morning,

    It's a beautiful morning in MS. I will be helping Ben cut the grass today.

    Janice, As others have said just stay in the moment and your lab results will be back soon then your next step you will be able to see.
    Hopefully your pain has subsided.

    How do you feel about deli meats that are all natural, without nitrates and other additives. Do you avoid those also. I find it hard not to use some deli meats for lunches.

    My family reunion is Saturday and will be cooking tomorrow. I will make chicken spaghetti, smoke a pork loin and a German Chocolate Cake. The good thing is that all the food will probably be eaten and I want have to deal with left overs.

    Have a great day.

    Nancy

    I just read all 13 posts and am caught up. It has been a busy week with choir practice and our
    performance coming up on Sunday and one more rehearsal on Saturday morning. Then I am off for
    the summer. B)

    The weather here is still chilly, Dave has been going to work on the boat, which is 45 mins. from our
    house and he has been freezing trying to buff the boat. He still has to fix some things and paint the
    bottom yet. It is supposed to get to 60F by the weekend but it sure is taking its time.

    I went into another Fitbit challenge for 10,000 steps and did 17, 242 steps and came in 2nd out of 9
    on my team. I think the competition makes me accountable. :) I am still doing Yoga three times
    a week and cardio on the other days.

    Janice- I hope all goes well with your tests, the feeling of being anxious is the worst. I had a bleeding
    problem a while ago and this was after menopause so I was very anxious. I had all the tests done
    and nothing showed evenually it stopped permanetly, I think my periods were still lingering on. I didn't
    start menopause until I was 55 which is late. I am sure all will go well. <3

    We are meeting some friends for lunch this afternoon and we invited them back for coffee later.
    They are sailing friends and will be going to China and some other places so we won't see them for
    a while.

    Have a good day everyone!

    Here is a picture of my MIL at her 90th party with all the grand and great grandchildren.

    Hi Everyone, Thanks for all your well wishes. I am not cramping anymore. I have some other things going on with my son, so I have not been worrying. The doctor thinks the cyst was causing the bleeding, I am definitely in menopause, this month was the only time I bled any since early 2010. The Dr. ran a hormone test a couple of weeks ago and it said post menopause. Hopefully the results come soon and are good. Thanks again, Janice

    :)Nancy, one problem with deli meat is the sodium, especially if you combine it with cheese, bread, and mustard (also big sodium counts)

    Morning misfits! Happy Friday!

    Nancy...I don't do the deli meats often as I'd rather have real meat. The reunion and food sounds like lots of fun.

    Marie..love sprouts, too.

    Shirley...agree that your MIL looks fit and happy!

    Janice..I know you can get things worked out with your son...maybe that is the distraction you need right now.

    Barbie..hello!

    Gym day for me. Glad my session is early as it will be in the 90s today. Cooper and I have already been out for a walk. I have him back on a schedule for early morning since anything later is too hot for him. The scale is finally back at my lowest weight this morning and I am a happy camper! Onederland is just 3 pounds away!

    Make it a great day, losers!

    Good afternoon, not alot planned today, I have been reading a thread on the community page about what they did that day to help with their journey to lose weight. Its pretty interesting.

    Connie-So proud of you and keeping strong, congratulations on being at your lowest, onderland is soooo close, so happy for you. My son and me arent having problems, its him and his wife, they drive me crazy. They dont get along and his wife called me to talk about him. I'm so over it.

    Nancy-I dont normally eat deli meat, from the coubter, on occassion I get packaged Oscar Mayer turkey or ham or chicken that is low in calories and fat, not sure about the sodium.

    Have a good weekend everyone. Gotta go for now. Janice

    Good afternoon,

    I am totally pooped out. Been cooking since I got up but mostly finished. They wanted me to bring a smoked pork loin and getting the smoker ready and cleaned up when finished is a job.
    I know why I rarely make a German Chocolate cake, it's a chore and takes a long time!!!

    Looks like more rain on the way!!!

    Have a good weekend.

    Thanks for the compliments on the picture. Yes.. Edie is looking good for her age.

    Not much planned today either, Yoga class and grocery shopping. The weather has not been great
    with temps in the 50's. Tomorrow it will be 60F and I have an early choir rehearsal before our
    performance on Sunday.

    Enjoy the evening,

    Nancy............. Share a piece of German chocolate cake with me!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Today is first dress rehearsal for the ballet. They have been keeping me really busy. Two of us had 10 days to get all costumes altered and parts made. It has been a very long week and a half. Between working out and fixing costumes it has consumed my life. I hate it when I have no life like that. But it will be over soon!!!!!! And that German chocolate cake sounds great. I just might make me one............

    hi all,

    hope you had a good weekend. it was really rainy here but looks like it will be a nice week.

    i am going to try a new plan this week, the only thing that really bugs me about it is it is super low in calories but i am going to try because many people i know hove had great success. i have bee going up and down the same couple of lbs for months so i figured why not. worse comes to worse, i won't do it or modify it a bit. it is really just clean eating and much less protein.

    hope you have a great monday!!

    Good morning,

    Hope everyone had a great weekend.

    Steph, Good luck on your new eating plan. I guess we all go from one plan to another
    looking for something that will work for us.

    Not any big plans for today.

    Yesterday was my choir performance. I have been doing this for 2 years now and still get nervous. :)
    I had my mother in law, hubby, and youngest daughter there. My oldest daughter wasn't feel well so
    maybe she will come to another one. A friend of mine and her husband surprised me by coming too.
    I hope to get a picture up here when it goes in dropbox from the camera.

    Today its raining and gray and I went to Yoga class. I also joined a Fitbit workweek hustle competion from Monday to Friday. So I will probably get on the bike too. Its laundry day today so I better get
    started.

    Steph..not good to be hungry. I know you will find something that sastifies your body's needs.

    Shirley..glad your performance went well.

    Nancy...the cake sound delish! That would have been tough for me if I had to make it. Glad you enjoyed your family.

    It has been rainy here since Sunday and very humid. The old house went on the market yesterday. I hope this will be a quick process. Gym day for me then a hair appointment.

    Good morning ladies!!

    The scale bounced around a lot last week but in the end registered a .4 loss. I'll take it.

    It still amazes me how much hard work it takes to lose a little and how easy it is to gain.

    We've had some good rain the past few days. It looks like it might rain this morning but I haven't seen the forecast.

    I'll check back later

    Good morning,

    Sounds like everyone has a plan and we are all trying to reach some kind of goal.
    It seems like every time I get in a groove I have a bump like someone invites you to dinner or something!!!!
    It's not hard to do if eating at a restaurant but in a home situation it is hard.

    Wish we had a Trader Joes. We have Sam's, Whole Foods and Fresh Market.

    Beautiful day!!! Going to Sam's and then to Walmart to get some reprints of pictures Ben found while cleaning
    out my MIL's stuff!!!!

    Have a good day.

    Good afternoon,
    I haven't been up to much lately, just sticking close to home. I put a crockpot of navy beans on today and also some green beans in another one, I like having the green beans around to go with my meals. It's gotten cooler around here the past few days, so getting free air conditioning.

    Today they called with my results on my biopsies and pap, turns out they didn't get enough cells for my pap, and I have to get another one done. The good news is the biopsy on the cyst and the one from up inside my uterus walls are both negative from cancer, so that is great news. I am not sure when I am getting the new pap, I go for the ultrasound on Tuesday, so hopefully they will do it before that. Gotta go my sister is on the phone. Janice

    :) I got up super early this morning to walk the dogs before we left the house at 6:30 for an early meeting. Later Jake and I watched our recording of DWTS...he sat in the recliner, I rode the exercise bike, and the dogs snoozed on the couch. Now Jake has gone out for lunch and a long visit with a friend so I'll have the house to myself to watch TV and do my weight training routine....later I'll walk the dogs again.

    :)Stephanie, I agree that you should ditch that eating plan that wasn't satisfying....look for something that you can stick to

    @janiceclark08...yay!!!!!!

    @eyegirl777va...we have all three of those plus Trader's. However, I only go to any of them when I need something "special" that I can't find anywhere else. Publix is my go to store for produce and Walmart for the basics.
