Happy October, losers! It is cooler today, thank God! I was able to walk the dog without sweating up a storm. Busy today...went to a women's conference at church this morning then will go to a b-day gathering later. I am trying to keep busy since that keeps me out of the pity pot!!

Hi gang. I DID IT!!!!!!! I went for a hike today. According to the Fitbit I climbed 35 floors!!! The trail was all log steps, rock steps, and tree root steps. I made the mile and three quarters hike in an hour!!! I thought I was going slow but my friends were having troubles keeping up with me. Here are a couple pics.

Morning, friends!
I kept busy this past weekend after being in a minor funk aka pity party most of last week. Nothing major, just the same ole stuff...feeling sorry for myself which is stupid because I have sooooo much to be grateful for, and I am incredibly blessed. Much of it stems from thinking about my only sibling sister who passed away 6 years ago whose birthday was last Wednesday. And, of course, that led to thinking about my mom and dad. Grief just never goes away, it just gets a little easier to bear.
Anyway...here we are in a new month. I guess my goal for October is to get under 195. We have a lot of family stuff coming up not to mention the holidays. The baby reveal party is the 22nd of this month, my daughter will be 40 in next month, and we are throwing her a suprise b-day party, and then Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to all of it. It gets easier to get right back on my regular eating pattern after a day of being off of it....probably because I am so afraid of gaining it back! There is something to be said about losing it this slowly, though.
Thanks for letting me ramble...I am glad to be back in good spirits!
Make it a great day, losers! If not now, when?

Good sfternoon,
Esther- That's great you were able to hike and so far. I am so happy for you and your knee replacenent, you must feel like a new woman.
Connie-Just when you are getting the cooler weather , ours is starting to get hot again, today not to bad, the rest of the week, is back in mid to upper 80's. Aren't you still in onderland? Why are you trying to stay off pity pot?
Marie-I hope your having a good day so far. Have you been cooking in your instant pot or crock pots latrly? I made a pot of beans in mine recently, today I am going to put some country style ribs in on low. I hope they taste good.
Gotta go for now. Janice

Janet No I haven't been doing much cooking, But this cooler weather that is. going make me want do some.I do want to get back to eating my beans again everyday. I had a great time yesterday I did not o anywhere, Alice went and got me a big baked potatoe and slice BBQ turkey. So big it made 2 meals.I need to get back on my plant food
So hard to do so. So easy to eat what others are eating but not wise
Have a great day everyone
I am waiting on my nurse to change my bandage
Love Marie.0 -
Happy October,
Hope everyone had a good weekend. It's still warm but fall is in the air.
Connie, You can have a pity party if you feel like it. We all get there on occasions but we don't stay there.
Janice, I bet you feel like a free woman having your treatments in the rear view window.
I don't have too much on my schedule this week and for that I am happy. Last two weeks have been extremely busy.
Marie, Hope you have a good week with no new leaks. It's time for that leg and foot to be healed.
Esther, You are looking great. Just can't believe you can do all that climbing and only 6 weeks out from knee surgery.
That's simply amazing.
Ruthie, Sounds like you are still busy with your children.
Shirley, Guess you are having fun this week.
Have a great day.

Enjoyed the cooler weather this weekend! However, the afternoons are warming up again.
Connie, I'm trying to stay out of the 90s but have not been able to get very far away. Oct will be our month to get far away from our top ends!
Yes, soccer and baseball have been keeping us busy but baseball only has 2 more weeks so things will slow down.
Congrats on your hike, Esther! That's a huge reason why I want to be in better shape. I love an active life, which is so much easier when I weigh less!
Happy Monday !!

We were at the boat today and everything is cleared out what comes home and the rest is bagged for the winter. One more night on the boat after our Tom Turkey party and it will be put on the cradle for the winter.
Our Canadian Thanksgiving is coming this weekend, usually celebrated on Monday. We are having our dinner on Sunday. I will have to pack for our trip on the following Tuesday to NYC. A busy week coming up.

Good afternoon,
Looks like Matthew is going to reek havoc in Florida and the east coast. During hurricane season I am happy that I
don't live on the coast although I love the water.
Not much going on at our house today. Did my exercise this morning, have had lunch and will get out later this afternoon.
Have a good day.

Well gang. I made it through Canada today. Took me a day and a half of driving and a 6 hour ferry ride. LOVED THE DRIVE!!!!!! Just me and my tunes cranked up singing along. Staying on a friends couch tonight and camping with another friend tomorrow. Went shopping today. Usually I would be in so much pain right now after shopping but I'm doing great!!!!! And the knee did awesome during the drive. I would stop at rest stops and stretch it out. And it will bend up to touch the front of the seat now too. I'm putting the new knee to the test.

Hi,
Congratulations Shirley and Connie on your loss.
Connie-I hope the hurricane misses your area and everyone stays safe.
Marie-I am glad they are sending you to a wound specialist, hopefully they get it healing for you.
Esther-You sure are busy with your new knee, glad you feel better than you have in a long time. Have fun.
Shirley-I bet your getting excited about your New York trip. Are you seeing any shows? I am not ready to think about Thanksgiving, not sure what we'really doing this year. Last year I cooked, but the past few years we went to my husband's family for dinner.
Gotta go. Janice0 -
connie do hope

We have a beautiful day here
Marie0 -
Morning, friends...lots of rain and wind that started last night and it still continues. Power is still on in my area and we are fine. It should be tapering down within the hour, hopefully. Connie 0

Good hearing from you connie Glad all is fine in your neighborhood
Marie 0 -
Janice I know Thanksgiving here creeps up fast and I seem to be doing the cooking mostly. One year we actually ordered Chinese food, a surprise by some but I was happy not to have a mess to clean up.
Connie Happy to hear all is well in your neighborhood and you are safe.
My daughter Kristina is here today and we went for a nice long walk together. Good to talk because I don't see her that often, she is almost 2 hours away from us and doesn't have a car. She usually rents a car but this time she got the Go Train all the way to Niagara Falls so we picked her up there.
I finished frosting the cake today so we just have to buy some fresh bread and make a salad tomorrow.
Tonight we are ordering a vegetable pizza for dinner tonight.

Hi guys!!!!! I am home again now. What a great trip. After the shopping trip I went camping for a night with one of my best friends. I was able to do things I have t ever been able to do at his camp. He has a chair less camp. Usually I have to stand and chat but this time I was able to sit around the fire on the ground and visit. I was also able to get off the air mattress on the ground. I haven't been able to do that for almost 20 years. I went walking on the beaches too while I was camping. One was nice soft squishy sand and the other was wet sucky mucky sand that would try to pull my shoes off with every step. It also had green algae covered round pebbles all over. I did awesome walking on the mm. I had to climb down a spiral staircase to get to the beach. Here are a couple pics of where I was.

No worries, Marie....it is water weight from the sodium. I ate out yesterday, too, and had a few bites of a fried blooming onion, ribeye, and brocoli. I am up today as well. I am drinking lots of water to flush it.0 -
Our Thanksgiving was a success and everyone enjoyed our meal together.
Today packing for our train trip to New York City. We will be picked up at 6:30am so we don't have any problems at the border.
I will be posting pictures on Facebook. See you ladies when I get back.
