    Good evening ladies. My golf game got cut short due to heavy rains. It is still raining and back yard is flooding. So far the river hasn't come over the bank.
    Joaquin is absolutely adorable. They just grow up too fast.
    So it is day two of my renewed determination and I feel good with my choices today. If it rains all weekend as forecast, I may be in trouble because I will be bored. However, I could wash my inside windows, right?
    Welcome to the newbies. So nice to meet new people.

    Good morning glories! I am actually on early (ish) this morning! I had to get both DYS and DH up by 4 am this morning. DYS had to be to work by 5am and DH had on online meeting with his European IT coworkers. So...along with getting my yard sprinkled, my walk, and my strength challenge done; I also got two loads of laundry, a load of dishes, breakfast and some daycare paperwork done! Yea! AND to top it off, my early arrival kids will not be here today, so that gives me an extra 45 minutes before kids arrive! Whoot! Friday=so far so good!
    Loving all of the pictures!
    Carol- Are your kids on a swim team? Cute pic! Love the goggles and did you see, they are holding hands?! Just sweet! o:)
    Beth- it's called life. I know it is not an excuse for not staying on track; but life is messy and disruptive sometimes! Hang in there! Refocus! You've got this!
    New girls- Welcome! Great group here!
    Mary- Feel better! Hope whatever you are going through has an "easy" fix. Maybe some rest? Thinking of you! <3
    Pip- You say you hate the wind; but I think if there ever was a week when you didn't face the wind, it would be like a movie with no bad guy. You need the wind to be the superhero that you are! B)
    Pet Peeve- Did the laundry today and found two sticks of lip balm and four (FOUR!) paperclips. I am pretty sure DH has a death wish! >:)

    Gotta fly...ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

    But I don't wanna b a superheroooooo.

    Toni in TN: Congratulations on getting your medicine situation handled. Yay!!! :smiley:

    Mia: Nice day for you. I love it when people feel blessed. :flowerforyou:

    Lenora: The gallbladder attacks were definitely the worst pain I've experienced. Childbirth is not even close to that painful. I'm happy to have had the gallbladder removal surgery. :smiley:

    alexxstarnes: Welcome! :star:

    KJLaMore: Joaquin is adorable. Share the photo as often as you like. He makes me happy. :smile:

    Cheri: Congratulations on the weight loss. :star::heart: star:


    I have a riding lesson tomorrow afternoon at 4pm. I'll have to report Arrow's bad behavior to my teacher and get advice for future use in case it happens again. Arrow, not being perfectly well behaved, is a great teacher. The skills I learn for dealing with him will easily translate to other horses.

    Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .

    Good Evening My Dear Friends,

    Pat, you are so right that this thing only works if we have the right attitude. It’s not always easy or fun but the payoff is great. Congrats on the size 16.

    Barbie, how nice that Jake got to go to the game. And that you got the house to yourself for a while. <3

    Lanette, my DH does go grocery shopping but guess he doesn’t get to talk a lot to the checkers. I didn’t think about it until I read your post, but when we do have a service person at the house, DH talks their ears off. LOL I do hate that he chooses not to have any outside friends to talk to. It would sure help me.

    MicheleNC, good luck with your goal. Let us know how that goes. Not sure I could do that one.

    Heather, I love the cushion! I see why you like it.

    CarolGA, darling grands.

    pretty-pink-welcome-smiley-emoticon.gifto all the Newbies. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.

    I took the day off from the gym but did exercise close to an hour at home this morning. Yeah, Me!!! I did some dusting and some cooking. I boiled some chicken and deboned it then made chicken salad. I cleaned some broccoli and cauliflower that I later cooked for dinner. Tomorrow morning I have to be at the Moose lodge at 8:00 for a training class. That is early to be somewhere for this old retired gal.


    Sending love, good thoughts and sunshine to all of you.

    Became, enjoyed my trip to Washington! That is quite the bridge, and quite long. The construction reminds me of the Twin Bridges that go from Indiana to Kentucky, or back, whichever way you are going on US 41. It seems like they are always doing something.

    I also enjoy the technology that brings my grand kids to me. They are taking a vacation in the Florida Keys right now and I have gotten videos and lots of pictures. That bridge is some thing else to!

    Michele- thanks for the information! I'll have to give it a try. I'm mostly trying to ignore it.

    Kelly - keep those precious baby pictures coming!

    Having spent a lot of time in hospitals when I was young because of a congenital kidney problem, I have avoided doctors like the plague. It is ironic that I now find myself seeing a naturopathe and an osteopathe for my chronic tendonitis and an opthalmologist for the eye pressure. I talked with my naturopathe about the eye pressure yesterday and he gave me several suggestions for supplements in additions to the ones I found through my own research. I now rattle as I walk! He also suggested that we try bioresonance treatment (electromagnetic waves), so I am going to do that between now and my next opthalmologue appointment to see if the numbers won't start down without me having to do the lifetime drops.

    Welcome alexxstarne and J9LynnHelton! This is a great place to find motivation and support!

    KJ:     Joaquin is still cute as a button!

    Cheri: Congratulations on the weight loss!

    Becca: Hope the move to your son's place will work out!

    Sharon: Love the Halloween photos!

    Dana from Iowa: Congratulations on dropping the 29 pounds!

    Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

    Leigh in France!

    Sharon - Great outfits. :D Your grandchildren are so terrific! I'm sure you know you are blessed in that department. <3 The recycling is pretty good too! :laugh:
    I LOVE those cushions, but I'm talking myself out of buying them. They really are ridiculously expensive. I wouldn't dare tell DH, so I'd have to buy them with my own money. He can't see the point of cushions. :| Our walls are grey, paintwork white, rug grey, sofa cream, two other sofas blue. Oak flooring. I wanted a spike of pink to counter all the blue. I often buy pink flowers for the room. I have looked everywhere for that colourway, but have had no luck. I don't really like flowers or pictures on the cushions - I'm more abstract. Those are perfect. :'(

    DH just gone off to cricket again. I love that he meets his friend there as they get on so well, despite the fact that they are different politically. His friend is a nice man. DH does have some lovely old friends, but none of them leave anywhere near. One lives in Colombia! When I met him his best friend was a young woman colleague. They worried that I might be jealous, but I thought it was fabulous! His Colombian friend is also much younger. We only get to see him and his family maybe once a year, when they come to visit his parents, but it's as if they have never been away we get on so well. Many times we have talked of going to Bogota to visit, but we haven't actually managed it yet. I would go tomorrow!
    I feel for those of you with husbands who are getting more withdrawn from the world. I can even see that trait in my DH. We all get set in our ways as we get older, but some of us are fighting it. :bigsmile: I have inherited my mother's restless temperament.

    Going to do my memoir today. o:) Making rabbit stew. :D

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    Happy Saturday Ladies!

    I intended to sleep late this morning instead of my usual 4:30 rising but my body clock would not cooperate. What a wonderful I’m having catching up on your posts.

    Penny: Thank you for explaining float therapy. That sounds wonderful. I’m not too sure about the covered lid though. I think I would enjoy a nice blue sky. The pictures are wonderful and made me ready for a hike today.

    Barbie: I decided just a little while ago that I would start off eliminating creamer and half my sugar from my morning cups of coffee. I want to get my daily calorie intake down. Last night I decided that I really really needed to cut my martini consumption way down too. I was amazed at the number of alcohol calories could pile up on a Friday night.

    Lanette: I love HALT! I may not remember exactly what each letter stands for but it will make me stop and consider the reason I am eating when I shouldn’t be and take alternative courses of action. THANKS!

    Heather: I bought pears just yesterday to bake for desserts. We are moving more towards our version of clean eating – reducing flour, sugar, processed foods – and loving it. I love the cushion.

    Allie: I’ve been gone for a while and don’t know what’s going on but do want you to know I’m still sending you hugs and comforting prayers. <3

    My goals for June 2017:
    1) Be conscious of what I am putting in my mouth and use HALT.
    2) Increase dog walking time to at least three walks per week at least a mile long.
    3) Maintain water consumption at a minimum of 8 glasses per day.

    tere I will say that I feel better 2 weeks after eliminating processed foods, white flour, sugar etc from my daily food intake. I chose this path because of a rash that seemed to indicate a gluten intolerance. Well the inflammation in my joints, especially my wrists, seems to be cleared up! Bonus for me. The rash isnt getting worse, not much better though, gonna try that hairdryer!! :p

    Well the busiest 5 weeks behind me, one difficult work week ahead, hooray. I am facing 4 "little concerts" with young beginners-really adorable concerts and one biggie-my colleague is retiring and we are sending her off with a big goodbye concert Friday nite-I'm a little stressed about it. There will be at least 3 social gatherings coming up and I have to deliver retirement speeches at 2 of them-you will hear me whining about them later on-I'll save my complaints for later!!!

    As for today, I'm checking in for motivating talk as well as doling some out--sticking with this self care, not punishing myself with poor eating behaviors is key to staying the course-bumpy though it may be-so HALT before you go overboard and just get up and move when you feel like plunking yourself down with a big bowl of something!!

    Rori hope your trip to my neck of the woods is a good one. Will catch up on the next trip!

    Happy Saturday. NYKAREN
