Morning...
Seems like this little group is gasping for air! Hope you guys are doing well and we do not die out!

Well I got out of the boat pump out, Dave asked his friend Bob to help him since he was going to be there anyway.
Today I went for a walk down by the water with all the Canadian geese flocks but it was a nice change from the neighborhood walking. It started to rain when I got there so went and did some errands and then headed back and got my walk in. Now the sun is shining and hope you are all well.

Morning!
Spent yesterday melting in the heat at soccer games. Came home and crashed. We have a later game today so I'm headed out for a pedicure and a little shopping of necessities before.
How's the heat for you, Connie?
How about in Texas, Marie?
Maybe we just need to go see Esther!!
Have a great day!

No humidity here and Dave and I went for a 12 mile bike ride and thoroughly enjoyed it! We did stop
for breakfast/lunch and then headed back.
Tonight I signed up for a 2 hour Yoga class so that will be relaxing.
Have wonderful day its awesome!
Shirley0 -

Hi everyone,
I have missed our group so much but I didn't have any wifi or cell service. I could have paid to have service but decided to go without for a week.
We got home about 3pm today and were very tired but had a really great time.
Will read all of your posts tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing good,

Hi, I rested this weekend and yesterday was my husband's birthday. We had my kids and grandson over for cake and they gave him presents. Tomorrow I have another implant, we have to be there at 5:30 am. My sister is taking me, my husband has to be at work tomorrow, Wednesday is another one and he is going to take me, then 2 more next week. I'm getting tired and ready to be done, I have been such a trooper, now I am getting alittle whiny. But I straightened up. I know it's almost over. I gotta go. Janice0

The weather here was awesome!!!! Sunny and about 60 degrees. Spent most of the day at a friends house having a football party. Knee is doing great. I have therapy on Tuesday. Bruising is finally starting to subside. That is the only pain I have is from the bruising. I am every color of the rainbow below the upper thigh clear down to the toes. And for the first time in almost 30 years I can't predict the weather. It is really kinda nice to not be in constant pain. It will be a nice fall and winter for me. I am usually curled up in pain more often than not during those months because of the frequent weather changes. Oddly enough I am actually looking forward to taking my girls trick or treating. Usually I dread it because of the pain. But I can't wait this year!!!!

Morning, losers!
Janice...you can whine all you want...what you are going through is tough so have at it!
Marie...glad you are thinking of sewing again because watching tv gets old real fast!
Nancy...so glad to have you back. We missed you!
Esther...good for you!
Shirley...12 miles biking is awesome!
Ruthie...hope to hear from you soon.
It's cooler today and cloudy. Coop and I have had our walk, and I guess I will go to the gym for pool exercise. I woke up wanting to whine and feel sorry for myself because the scale is not moving...but that is stupid so I will just keep on keeping on!
Make it a great day, losers!
Connie0 -
I just lost my post, haven't done that in awhile.
I will try again.
Nancy - Welcome back!!
Jancie. Whine all you want, we are hear to listen. After all you have been through a lot.
Connie - Have fun in the pool, aerobics is hard in a pool I know I did it once with my daughter who was pregnant at the time.
Marie - Happy to hear you want to do some sewing now that the weather is cooling. Can you keep your leg elevated too?
I started today with a 1200 calorie meal plan from Pinterest and so far so good. I hope I can keep up
the momentum.
Another beautiful no humidity day with clear skies, wonderful. No exercise for me today I am resting after double exercise on Sunday.
Shirley0 -
Hi everyone,
It's good to be home!!! I helped Ben with grass cutting this morning and will now tackle a ton of laundry!!!
I think I got in plenty of walking last week. We did excursions that required more walking than I wanted to do as it was hot as blue blazes but we did ok.
I plan to read all the posts while I was when I get a free minute.
Hang in there everyone!!!0 -
Morning!
Janice...hope things went well with the implant yesterday and that you will feel like checking in with us today.
Nancy...how was the food?
Cooler today again after rain most of yesterday. I've got some errands to run but that's it for my Tuesday!
Make it a great day, losers!

Hi, Yesterday didn't go ad good as the first one I decided to let them give me some pain meds since I woke up hurting after surgery. I did okay with it for awhile and when they moved me I started feeling nauseated and felt that way the rest of the time there. When they started to take me to get the radiation, I started getting sick in hallway, luckily I had my vomit bag, I did get the radiation after that and we left. As soon as I got home I got sick again
I took some phenegrin and slept most of the rest of the day and night. I cant believe I have to go again tomorrow, for another one. No more pain meds for me, the first time I didn't get any and I didnt get sick. I guess I'll just hurt some again, it's worth it.
I hope everyone else is doing good, in 10 I will have the last 3 done and should be done with my treatments. I cant wait, I just want do nothing for awhile or whatever I want. Janice0 -
Afternoon everyone,
Janice, Sorry things didn't go great yesterday.
Hopefully you will have a better day tomorrow.
Connie, The food was really good, we think the food on Carnival is better than other ships we have been on. I didn't do too bad this cruise. Some days we only had breakfast and dinner and nothing after dinner. I did more walking than I usually do. I didn't drink much water and that was my weak link.
Marie, Good to hear that you are feeling like getting the sewing machine going. Will be so glad when you foot gets well.
I am with Ben getting both treatments today so it's a long day for us.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Evening Ladies,
I felt like a pity party beginning this morning but Connie's voice was in my head so I refrained.
I'm jealous of your rain, Connie. And your cool weather Esther! It's hot and humid here still....
I'm sorry Janice that things didn't go so well. There's nothing worse than feeling yuky away from home. I'll be very happy for you when it's all over!!
Marie, I'm proud of you for getting the sewing machine out.
Nancy, Shirley, Steph...hi misfits:-)
If not now, W.H.E.N!
Ruthie0 -
Busy day today. Had a foot doctor appointment today but they called had a mercy surgery so for next Tues,will try again.
Alice was out today and try to turn my room into a sewing room again. .Did a pretty good job too.
Marie0 -
Morning, friends!
Janice...hang in there...only a few more and you are free! God is good!!
Marie...what will be your first project? Did you sign up for Meals on Wheels?
Ruthie...I am determined to stay positive...I have not gone back to Twoterville in several weeks! I will make it the rest of the way!
Nancy...hope your long day went well.
Hope to hear from the rest of you misfits soon!
Gym day for me! I am raring to go because being depressed about the stupid scale is stupid. My clothes are falling off, I can feel my ribs, and my bras straps and hooks cannot be set any tighter...it's time to buy new ones! Why am I whining???
Happy Hump Day, losers! If not now, when???
Connie0 -
we have2 birthdays his month
Steph.....Sept. 19
Esther ....September 20 let not forget them.0 -
Thanks Marie for reminding us.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE AND ESTHER!!
Janice - Sorry you were so sick from your treatments, I guess it goes with the territory. I hope your next one is better for you.
Connie - Yay! clothes are falling off, you are doing fabulous.
Yesterday Dave and I went sailing, a perfect day with weather and conditions we couldn't have asked for more.
I am still doing the 1200 calorie plan and we are on day 3. It seems to be working I have lost some weight. The meals are filling and no snacks and that part is hard for me because I am a snacker.
Just trying to eat less. The meals are only for 7 days so you have to repeat the meals. So far so good.
Tomorrow we are going for an overnight sail across the border and the weather should be cooler so sleeping should be great.
Have a good weekend. I will be back Friday sometime.

Take care of yourself Janice. We are praying for you.
Esther0 -
I went to therapy yesterday. They encouraged me to start going up and down stairs like a grown up. I have been unable to do that for over 10 years. I have been relegated to one step at a time like a toddler for forever. I have also been told I can ditch the crutches in the house and only use them when outside. And since it was a beautiful sunny and 64 here I went for a 2 mile walk this morning. I stuck to the touristy part of town where the sidewalks are wider and more even but I did it. I also went up and down the 3 flights of stairs to Iris's school and had lunch with her and her classmates. I took Shaundra out to Walmart to get art supplies since he grades are up. Now that the day is almost over I have walked 3.31 miles!!!!!! What's even more shocking is I DON'T HURT!!!!!!!! I only feel like I walked a mile maybe two. I can't wait to be able to put miles on my legs again!!!!!!!! I used to struggle hitting 3 miles because I would get so sore. But now I can do most anything again!!!!!!! I have not been in this little pain since before Iris was born and she is 7. And no I am not using any pain pills either. I am doing absolutely awesome and funny how the weight is starting to come back off again now that I can move around so much easier. I have been able to drop 2 pounds this week alone.
Esther0 -
Morning, losers!
Janice...hope you are feeling good today.
Shirley...sounds like your calorie reduction is going well.
Esther...good progress!
Marie/Ruthie/Nancy/Steph...hope to hear from you soon.
Heading out in a few to take Cooper to the groomer and run errands. I am down .06 this morning putting me at 195.4. I hope this will be a whoosh loss and it will drop more tomorrow, but won't complain if it doesn't. This is just how it is...SLOW.
Make it a great day, losers!
Connie0 -
Connie you are doing so good so proud of you. Shirley is going do fine too I know Janice When she get over this big bump in the road.So sorry you are going thru this rougt time in your life.
As far as me both feetlooks less swollen . can get into some shoe I have not worn in quite a while.Can put my full weight on my sore feet. So now it is all downhill for all of us misfits.
Now Esther is a walking miracle. Great going my friend. And good luck on your weight loss. I think you will.You had quite an outing yesterday. one step at a time
"One day at a time" quotation from a very dear friend from the Sneakers groups
marie0 -
@CALICAT...so happy to hear you are less swollen and your heel is almost healed!!0
-
I am too Connie. been a long time of healing. But I can see some progress now. I am waiting on my bath lady now.. I am going to miss her love the good bath rub on my back. and getting my hair wash. Maybe I can talk Jerry into doing it. I got hit with another restriction, As long as
it with another restriction yesterday. as long as I am on the blood thinner no excess greens includes green beans, spinach any green veggies. They were my
stand bye.to fill me up.

@CALIECAT....you must be on warfarin also called Comadin. Vitamin K is in the green leafy veggies and that interferes with your blood getting thin like they want it. My hubs used to be on that one until we asked for it to be changed because we did not want the food restrictions. The doc changed him to Eliquis. There are several thinners that do not restrict the food and you do not have to have blood drawn to test the thinness.
