    Noticed I had a few stats confused.

    The lake trip will start Tues or Wed.

    Onward.

    Lisa - GOOD JOB on the Van Gogh inspired Starry Night Sunflower. Did you do the Peacock too?

    finally home.. - don't have all the stats on the run's website yet.

    someone asked how much I loose on a run or if I carb up the nite b4 a run. I loose about 2 lbs average on a good workout day, run or just good workout. that is all water I'm sure. no I don't carb up the night before, for 6 mi, no need. for a 1/2 or full marathon, I will carb up the whole week before, it's different kind of preparation for that long of a run. you don't want to eat anything different or experiment before the run, that's where you will get a stomach ache, cramps or even worse, "runners trots".

    I type fast an don't need to look at the keyboard to type but I still don't type "war and peace" either, lolol.

    I was really excited for Kirby and was glad he placed first. there was a lady that was running with us and I wasn't sure if she was in my age group or not (50-59) so I kept thinking, if I want to place I have to keep up with her or beat her. at the last mile I picked up my pace and I thought if she has a kick I don't know how good it is, so I better hit it. on the straight away towards the finish, I poured it on and left her and Kirby behind. on our strata app, I did 9.01 minute mi and Kirby did 9.03. turns out she was in the age group before me, she got 1st in her age group

    :)Kelly, My fairly small front yard has a section of ugly large gravel rocks with no weed barrier under them so every spring there are a million tiny weeds to pull. I am scooping them up,straining them through a screen and putting the bigger pieces that stay on top of the screen in some places that need more rocks like that. When I have cleared the whole section, I'll put down two layers of weed cloth and have a load of bigger nicer rocks delivered and I'll spread them over the weed cloth. I am also spreading 16 bags of brown mulch over the dirt covered areas of the front and side yards I admire your consistency on your challenges. One time I did 100 squats a day for 100 days but not along with all the other stuff you're doing

    Hello everybody!

    Happy Father's Day to all the fathers in your families. I am my missing mine today. I was the only girl out of 5 children, so we had a special bond. We lost him in 2013 to cancer.

    Janet and Michelle - so sorry for your family losses and ill health.

    Pip - congratulations on the wins.

    Lisa - Love your art work.

    I have truly enjoyed all of the pictures of events and places I will probably never see in person.

    Summer has arrived in Texas. It hasn't been hit a 100 yet, but has been in the mid to high 90's this week. I don't know how people who work outdoors make it through the summers.

    The insects will be bad this year because of the mild winters the last 2 years. Calling an exterminator is on the to do list for tomorrow for yard treatment. My poor Angel is allergic to flea bites and the monthly treatment is not preventing them for a full 30 days. Whatever chemicals are used need to be pet friendly.

    Last Saturday I joined a gym. It will get me out of the house several times a week once I am retired and help me stay on target with my fitness goals. I have an orientation meeting tomorrow with a personal trainer and plan on asking about proper form for squats, deadlifts etc. I did go and workout yesterday on the stair climber. After the workout I went by a re-sale shop in the area and found several pairs jeans.

    I have been on track with my food plan and dropped into a new decade weight this morning - 119.6. It will bounce back up and down but at least for today, it is in the teens. My body fat percentage is 30-31% and I would like to get in the 25% range.

    Stay cool and have a good week!

    Happy Father’s Day Pals!

    My weekend has been a little tense. DH and I had one of our very infrequent misunderstandings. So we were not speaking until we got to church. :/ I guess we both needed a good sermon so the fight is over. I didn’t do too bad eating – thank God. I remember one time that some fast food and junk would have been my friend at the slighest upset.

    Felicia: Stomach grumbling actually does not come from being hungry. It is produced by movement of the contents of the gastro-intestinal tract as they are propelled through the small intestine by a series of muscle contractions called peristalsis. Once I understood this I was able to adjust grumbling/growling from being a trigger for me to eat food. I have read before that if you eat the right things you won’t be hungry. I don’t know about that. What I think is that you have to find what works for you. I am a muncher and find that having carrot sticks and other munchie things (low calories) on hand satisfies me.

    Pip: I love pictures of the babies in the Furry 5K. <3

    Lisa: Egg is so cute! I am allergic the cats but if I could have one I would have two. <3

    Connie: Welcome!

    Becca: Love the elk picture!

    Thanks, Ginger!

    I painted all five.

    Lisa - YOU DONE GOOD!

    I painted the starry night sunflower before - but it was on a 3x5 index card.

    The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT.

    18,000 steps
    180 minutes walking Sasha and Bessie

    Katla – Oh, that stuff! Looks like an oversized thimble; but, it takes 2 people to unwrap it and by the time you get it, it is coming off your finger and digging in like it doesn’t want to go anywhere. Sticky and stretchy.

    Allie – I agree, that would be priceless in court; but, having it as ‘ammunition’ is also good, because your attorney can tell his attorney that she can present pictures of them when he had told you a bald-faced lie. TomCat really must think he is pulling the wool over your eyes. I don’t know how some men (and some women) can or do seem to think they can ‘pull if off’. Well, take that comment back – either they don’t care or they know they have their spouses over a barrel. You just need to show him that you’ve turned that barrel on its side and it is ‘rolling downhill fast’. Karma would have a ‘ball with this’. I had a friend in HS (for one year; I was the one-girl welcoming committee) and she stuck to me like 'glue'. My Mother said that 'Maria would NOT know the truth if it came up and slapped her in the face'. When she made a date with 2 boys on the same night, while spending the night with me, and left with the 1st one that showed up. I 'got' restricted for it. Thankfully, they left town 'under cover of dark' the following summer. I pretty well know why, too.

    Lisa – Very good artwork. Tami, DDnL#2 would love the peacock; and, Mallory would love the sunflowers.

    Kelly – When I log it as ‘walking the dog’ for an hour, MFP shows that I burn less calories than if I spend 15 minutes on the treadmill. Maybe I need to put a bit of a faster clip to my outside walking because Cracker has to run to keep up with me and she has legs like a Rat Terrier. Of course, she runs after birds and things and then runs back to me. But, I do walk fast enough to ‘break a sweat’. Hopefully, I will find that I am wrong.

    Pip – “Yeah, here we go again, a few days at the beach and ‘Mama Pip’ is going to turn it into a ‘working weekend’.” OR is that “Damn, we’re tired!”
    “War and Peace” was a ‘required read’ in HS; not here. You can always skim over my posts, if you want to. LOL!

    Janetr – I’d say he is a ‘keeper’ too! Have not unpacked my ‘pressure cooker’. Trey said he is going to get one with the $$$ that Louis and I are giving him for his birthday (6/16). I had told him that I wanted to ‘see’ what he used the money for, it was NOT to pay bills with. Will and Tami love theirs. I bought mine at K-Mart. It’s a PressurePro, 4 Quart. I did not check other places and I would rather have my teeth pulled with pliers and no deadening stuff than to shop at Wal-Mart. Has a small cookbook with it; but, I am going to go to BAM and see what they have. I will have to use it within the next 10 days.

    Did an hour of training games on the Wii today. Since we need to leave tomorrow, the plan is just to do an extreme strength DVD at home.

    Packed last night. I need to take ice tea and the lettuce ribs to the gal who is going to host Rummikub for me. She's also the gal whose house we go to to play mahjongg on Mon nights. Looks like we need to clean out the Outlook since that's the vehicle we'll be taking. Might very well have to take others with us to the service.

    NYKaren - say "hi" to Rori for me. You two have a great time and be sure to post pics. You're growing, that's for sure.

    Lisa - beautiful pics

    KJ - BBQ is different. Like I'm used to what they refer to as "eastern NC BBQ" which doesn't have vinegar in it. The first time I tasted BBQ around here, I almost choked. I wasn't used to it with vinegar in it. But if someone has grown up with vinegar in their BBQ sauce, to them it's wonderful.

    Had to run give the ice tea and lettuce leaves to the gal who will host Rummikub then stopped at another friend's. She's moving to Charlotte and she had some things for me. She was going to come by here but since I was going to be in the area, I just stopped over there. We cleaned the blanket in the Outlook in case we need to transport people tomorrow, then I went in my pool. Now going to be having dinner

    Lanette - you don't need to tell me about drum sets!!! We built a detached 2 car garage, there really is one vehicle in one part. The other part is Vince's music studio with his synthesizer, drum setS and stuff I can't even tell you what it is.

    Hey Jenn from Vancouver! Stop in lots. We love new people. And you, too, Connie

    Gave Vince his BIG father's day gift...a scotch tape dispenser. That' what he wanted because he's always borrowing mine.

    DJ - we've had restaurants who say that large groups aren't a problem....but they really can't handle them.

    I'm lucky in that I don't look at the keyboard, too. On this keyboard some things are reversed. Like the "(" is below the number "9", yet you still have to shift to get it.

    Congrats on the great losses everyone.

    Need to go back my food to take with me.

    janetr - cute picture

    Oh, Katla, sorry you had that kind of day. I know that feeling, I've done it sometimes too I think we all have them. So sorry, try not to be too hard on yourself. (((Hugs))) <3<3<3

    Machka: I just checked my dictionary and found nothing objectionable about t o r r e n t. Do you suppose they are a bit overzealous or have they mixed it up with torrid? Which is still acceptable in my view. I'm complaining to MFP. :grumble:

    It has to do with T-O-R (without the dashes) which is sort of like a VPN but moreso and can hide criminal activity. I did a research paper on it in my last IT class. T-O-R can be harmless and even beneficial in some cases, but sites like this get nervous about it because of the underlying criminal possibilities.
