Cold today 43F and the furnace is on. I made some Beef barley vegetable soup that should keep us
warm for the rest of the week. My hubby is doing better with his cold and his cough has subsided a bit today. We have had rain for the last 2 days and finally the sun is peeking out today.
We were going to clean up the gardens for winter but too cold and wet today so tomorrow promises a better day for that.
I hope everyone is doing well and have a good weekend.

Hi guys. I'm doing great. Have been trying to slow down a little but that hasn't happened yet. Been making goodies for hubby and friends in the ferry and Iris's friends. But tonight I'm going to hit the town. There is a fundraiser for a program that Shaundra is involved in and it will be down at a local bar. $2 Jell-O shots are at least a little affordable and so I roped a friend into being my designated driver. Not that I plan on having much but my rule is after the third drink the truck is drunk. I can honestly say I have never driven drunk in my life. And don't plan on starting now. I finally voluntarily wore shoes and socks for the first time in over 7 years the other day. It was really rainy and windy. Wind gusts of 50+ mph and over 4 inches of rain in a day. I wore my shoes and socks instead of my sandals that I have been wearing forever. Felt great but weird since I haven't worn shoes in so long. By my feet stayed warm and dry.

Things are not all good, I got a call from my dr that has receved their copy of my mammogram and I have to have more images and an ultrasound. I am totally disgusted, hopefully it is fibercyst like before, not sure if thats what it was, but my sisters have them., I had to do this about 6 years ago and the ultrasound was okay. Not sure when I go, they have to put in the order at drs. office.
Marie glad to hear your foot is finally healed.
Esther-It's wonderful all you can do now because of your new knee, happy for you it's really working and good and no pain.
Shirley-I hope by now your husband is well. I love soups and stews when it's cold, it just warms you up.
Connie-I hope all is good with you, and your family.
Nancy, Stephanie, Ruthie and whoever I left out, I hope you are doing good. Janice

Morning,
It's 42F but sunny today. We got all the gardens cleaned up around the house 8 recycle bags later.
We are ready for winter.
I have the front entrance decorated and ready for Fall. I won't be home for Halloween this year because I will be seeing Isaac this year and can't wait to see him in his costume. I hope to get a picture too.
Dave will be closing up the cottage with our friend Tom while I am visiting Isaac. They have a project to do and will remove the rotted wood in the garden in the front where all the shrubs are. His nephew is also coming up with his son so he will have plenty of help. They are going to replace it with pressure treated wood and should hold up better.
Dave had brought my bike inside so I can work out this morning and many mornings during the winter.
Choir tonight and I have to practice today. Better run.

Hi all,
Sorry i needed to take a break. Just needed to regroup a bit.
Janice, i am so glad all went well with your treatment. i skimmed quickly but saw you need to have a breast ultrasound. i need to do this as well, it is a precaution for women that have very dense breast tissue. i am also cystic. lets just hope it is no big deal:)
marie, seems lille you are on the mend, awesome about the 160s
connie, love your commitment!! you are amazing!
Shirley, i am sure you are traveling around a ton and visiting with family.
Nancy, hope you are well! also, hope your husband is doing well!
Esther, Awesome about your new knee! sounds like all went well!
So about me...just busy working and with the kids! i have tried to be good eating wise but not perfect. i also have significantly cut down on exercising for me which is less but probably more than most people:) i have been on a downward trend, but very slow which is ok with me. Just trying to get back to where i was last year this time, about 2 lbs away. Holidays coming up. Think we are taking kids to california and going to drive down the coast over break.
hope everyone is well!

My friend Buzz on the golden Sneakers lost her wednesday night.her I think she was 96

I had my apt. yesterday at the Diet Clinic, and was there for an hour and a half. Lots of information but dare say didn't learn anything I already knew. I have two more apts., one for a breathing test to see where my metabolic rate is. That should be interesting. They have rotating doctors there so I meet with one every time I have an apt. There are group discussions and so forth. I will try this because my doctor wants me to. They also told me about the MFP website, I had to laugh to myself since I have been on it since 2010. I am back to logging food since I took a break from it and still reading Intuitive Eating. They want copies of your daily food diary.
They also have dieticians and counselors there.
Today I am making potatoes, green beans and sausage in the crockpot, plus homemade beef barley soup. l better get to it.

Morning, losers!
Marie...hope you are mending well! Sorry to hear about your friend.
Stephanie...good to see you again!
Shirley...good luck with the clinic...you probably know more about weight loss/exercise than they do!
Still plodding along here. The gender reveal party was last weekend (it's a boy! ) and my daughter's b-day party coming up next weekend. 
I am determined to persevere and get through celebrations and the holidays without any gained weight!

Hi misfits,
Good to see you Steph!!!
Shirley, Good luck with your new venture. Hope it works for you. I looked at a clinic near me but they use a lot of medications
and I am not comfortable with that.
Connie, I know you are excited about your grandson!!! I bet you will go through the holidays without any problems.
Marie, You are doing great!!!!
I have been in the kitchen today making vegetable soup and chili for the freezer, one day it's going to be cool and will rain!!!

I am watching a football game already. In this case i am rooting for the Bengal, so far they are ahead guess what i got regulat shes on.. My ankles as brginning to hurt
In, those mud slinger see you all lattrr Marie0 -
Connie- Yes you were right about not learning anything new about weightloss at the clinic plus they have MFP as a website to use, that made me laugh as I have been on here for 6 years now. I am doing this because my doctor suggested it.
Nancy- When I told the doctor at the clinic I couldn't take any meds for cholesterol due to leg cramps he suggested shots once a month. I immediately said no. I know what you mean about meds. I will see how this goes. I have two more apts. coming up.
I am at my daughter's now visiting with Isaac. Tomorrow is Halloween and he is going to be a race car driver. I can't wait to see his costume.

It is a good read, but I was dismayed that it offered no real solutions.

Good morning,
Steph, I certainly agree with this article. I definitely ruined my metabolism by going on Adkins on several occasions in the
past. Putting my body in ketosis was not a good thing. The diet would cause great weight loss but the negatives are really
high. I am paying for it many years later. I have to eat around 1200 cals or less just to maintain my overweight body. It just
stinks!!!!
Hope everyone had a good weekend.

I read the link about dieting and its so true, diets do not work!
I have been a Biggerst Loser watcher for years but decided to give up on the show after reading
what people go through after the show.
I am reading INTUITIVE EATING no diets, no restrictions. Its a good read for anyone.
Shirley0 -
@shirley61...thanks for the suggestion. I agree that diets do not work, and it's only through lifestyle changes that good health and fitness can be achieved. We have to find what is sustainable for us and what works for our bodies. Not sure about no restrictions...that was what made me fat! I have learned to indulge in occasional treats that do not lead to an all out binge over the course of several days. That, in and of itself, is a win for me.0
