Happy Tuesday Evening!
First, it was hot today but not as hot as I thought it would get. We cooled off the house this morning as much as possible with the windows and doors open.... the A/C didn't come on until 3:00 this afternoon. Hoping the temps fall into the mid to low 50's tonight so we can repeat that tomorrow.
The sheet I put over the tomatoes did blow off, but I fastened some row cover over it which pretty much stayed put on a couple corners...even tho it was flappin' in the breeze, it was flappin' over the tomatoes.
It was windy today blowing from the NNE - and smoke from the Canadian forest fires is making the air hazy. Katla, is this haze blowing down your way as well?
We watched the rest of Season 3 of Bosch this afternoon....DH will search Netflix and Amazon for another series to catch up on these next few afternoons.
Meg and Toni - great hearing from you!
Joyce - golly, that's a great photo of Mr. Mozart. He looks comfy and content! Glad your DH got his bed sheet! It is hard to find the super deep-pocket sheets.
Becca - glad the Prudence situation has been resolved. Again, a lesson for me when I get old and alone - and I'm not looking forward to the alone part if DH goes first, even tho there are days I think he needs to take a nice vacation. By himself. For a couple days. Without the credit card.
OK ladies, the sun is going down behind the trees so I'd better head out and do some watering.
Keep cool!

Good evening,
Meg at our ages, one dog is more than we can handle! Dolly is 18 months old and weighs 70 lbs. I would love to have more pets, but if we have to downsize I don't want to think about finding homes for a number of animals. DH and I decided long ago that one dog would be it. When we travel the kennel costs are expensive too. I hope Roscoe finds a home. If you send more info I could post on the TWC Facebook page.
Welcome to the newbies!! This is a great group of women here on MFP. Lot of support!
We went to see the movie Dunkirk this afternoon. My DH wanted to go see it. It was good and an interesting glimpse of WWII on the beaches in France. 400,000 Brits were trying to board ships to go home. The Germans were bombing. It was rated PG13 so it wasn't bloody or gory. The director left it to your imagination. My father flew over Berlin and landed in the English Channel. The Brits picked them up. But that was on "D-day".
Heather You probably know more about Dunkirk from your history lessons.
My DD Jessica, called today. She finally saw an attorney and is filing for divorce. DSIL drinks too much, to the point he is a drunken a-hole. When he is sober, he's the nicest guy. She is tired of coming home from work and finding him already plastered! He has already jumped on her and choked her. This was a few years ago but still he can be violent. Besides drinking, he smokes, chews, smokes weed and whatever. I don't know.
Living like that is not good for her or for the kids. I'm still flying down there in October, no matter what.
Well, it's time to say Adios!
Have a great evening!
Dana in Arkansas

I did not meet my July goals. To be honest I didn't even try. I won't make August goals other than trying each day to stay within my calorie goals. And I already blew that today.2

Do you Prelog your food?
I find that helps a lot. I pop everything in quite early in the day, and then I know what I'm working with.

Hello, Sexy Sisters;
Sorry I have been less than present this week... stupid AT&T – my internet went down on Saturday night... they couldn’t get anybody to look at it until Wednesday? What is THAT all about. Have I mentioned I am not fond of the folks at ATT? *sigh*
So, I can’t do ANYTHING at home – which bites. However, I am getting a few non-net related items done, so, I suppose it’s all good.
Lack of internet is actually working in my favor on the diet thing – because, aside from Saturday – when I stress-ate half a pizza - I have been over-estimating on calorie count – so, I am making my goal of Under budget by 400 every day. And don’t fret about Saturday – I exercised that day – and the pizza was my one meal for the day – so I was only over by 125 calories. No major damage done.
I am pre-logging from work – but, one can never know exactly how many ounces or whatever - so I am guestimating and leaving myself a little calorie buffer. So far, I am doing all right with that.
Report on July goals:
Leave 400 calories minimum on the table 5 days per week (major success)
Weight lifting and abdominal machine 3 days a week (Fair)
Planks min 3 days per week (Fair)
I didn’t do exceptionally well on the planks and the full strength training workouts.
Strength training is a time thing... because I have to do my cardio to make the calorie budget, that means I only have a few days a week when I can get those long workouts in – if I miss one, there is no time to make it up. I guess I am just going to have to do the best I can on those.
Planks... what can I say – I need to find a better time to do them. Bedtime isn’t working out as well as it could – mostly because I am exhausted by the time I get a minute to breathe, or do planks. I am still pondering when I can set 10-15 aside – I really should be planking on any day when I don’t do the full strength training workouts. (and yes, Lenora – they ARE harder than they look... LOL)
Fortunately, the under calories thing is the main attraction in the weight-loss plan – so, I am golden if I can stay on top of that, and get in some strength training on a regular basis to retain what I have achieved so far, and hopefully build on it. I got my five days a week in – and on a couple of weeks I exceeded.
So, for August – I am going to let it ride...and keep on tracking it by the week, as I did last month. It keeps me focused... and the 5 pound loss in July tells me these goals are effective for me:
Leave 400 calories minimum on the table 5 days per week
Weight lifting and abdominal machine 3 days a week
Planks min 3 days per week
I am sorry for the losses of family and friends, cheering for the losses of pounds, routing for the truth-tellers (that psychic weight is the heaviest!) and loving all of you!
Welcome to the new gals – Hope you have your reading glasses handy....
I have to run, Ladies. I have places to go and soup to make... Made some stock overnight in the crockpot using the bones and skin from a rotisserie chicken – so all I have to do is add some rice, veg and the last of the meat from the chicken to make a delicious soup when I get home. DH is cooking the rice, now... so all I have to do is sauté the veg in some butter and throw it all in the pot to heat up. Love the easy meal.
Hugs for Everybody!
Re in TX5 -
Without a picky young adult, you know fixing dinner is so simple! Last week I bought a lb of hamburger. I cut it in three portions, and #1 went towards hamburger helper dinner, #2 went towards hamburgers for us, and #3 went towards spaghetti. So $1.33 per meal. Pasta and buns were from the food bank, so I only bought the box of hamburgers helper!
This weeks protein is chicken and small ham steaks. The steaks came in a package of 7, for $3.50. I used 2 steaks in our macaroni tonight. Later this week I shall make Navy and pinto bean soup with cubed ham from 2. Mac & cheese, and the beans from the food bank. Three of the steaks will be either breakfast, or for ham fried rice. Again very inexpensive meals!
Today I bought 37 items, saved $6.75 on shopping today because it was senior discount day, and just a couple of coupons I clipped, but the total was $89.95. When you have $400 left after bills, its the stay under 100 dance, which I rocked!!!
I finally bought cereal I liked, spinach, fixings for what I like on my pizza, orange juice, and more. That feels nice. Like I have choices, not just eat whatever son and husband chose. Its a behavior that needs to stop, and since son has gone into the Navy eating has been more easier.
So miss that kid! I sat down at his desk, ( now husbands gaming desk, in the library), to writ son my first letter. Once we get his boot camp address, I can start sending them, numbering them!
I miss how he got such glee making coffee! I miss when he would sing in the shower! I miss hearing political and historical conversations that my husband and he would engage in. I am hopeless at them, even though husband tries, until he finally says, " You have no idea what I am talking about huh". I smile, and state. "Although, I am a great listener".
To all of you with cemented commitments, I applaud you! At this point, I am just trying to keep it together, not cry too often, not think of my son 24/7, and start to enjoy and appreciate my life. I still am a bit numb, with raw feelings right on the surface. See even typing that gets me teary eyed. Love ya all!

Did an hour on the bosu. The plan for tomorrow is to take the deep water class.
After exercising, went to WalMart, brought home the refrigerated goods, went to this store in Hickory to see about the placq for Denise. Really, I'm getting a bit annoyed at the people in FL. They promised me I'd have it by July. Last I talked to them it wasn't finished. And it looks, to me, terrible. It looks like they ran out of space for writing his name. Afterwards, went to Ollies, Party City to get some things for the pool party, then Target to get some cat litter on sale. Then went in the pool, now baking the vanilla part of the bottom of the shower cake. I'm thinking that the bottom will be one layer of vanilla, one layer of chocolate, and the upper part (the part that curves in to make the skirt) will be marbled.
Speaking of making a bed -- has anyone ever heard that the tag on the sheet should be at the bottom right? It makes sense in a way that it be at the bottom
Didn't completely hit my goal of eating only when hungry for July. I'm going to try again this month. I do seem to sort-of be getting better.
I'd like to tell that woman in FL who was making the placq for me that I really can't use it any more. She did promise it to me in July. I'm thinking that I may say that I really can't use it any more since the bridal shower is come and gone. That's not really true, but I did tell her that I needed it in July and she said that it wouldn't be a problem. And here it is August and it still isn't finished, much less mailed to me.
The end of August and the beginning of Sept I'm doing something every weekend. Aug 20 is Denise's fitting. I'm staying the night of the 19th at Jess, then I'll go to PA, back to VA, then drive on the 21st to NC. I want to leave her place early (like 5a.m) because I want to be home before the eclipse. I don't know how other drivers will react to sudden darkness so I'd like to be home before it happens
Heather - so glad you found your passport! I wouldn't tell dh. He would probably only get upset with you, no harm was done anyway
KJ - summer went way too fast. Have fun at the festival. Can I be one of your kiddos? I can make myself real small......
Lisa - congrats on giving up smoking. Yours is truly a story, thank you for sharing with us. Is the Contrave in combination with something else? Sure hope it works for you. Will you have to be on it for the rest of your life if it does help squelch your appetite? You are so strong for admitting to us what's been going on. It makes me wonder if others don't have something hidden that they don't discuss? I know that sometimes I get this urge to just pig out. But usually afterwards I feel "yuk". Sometimes I talk about it, sometimes I don't. But I know deep inside that not owning up to it is lying to myself.
Am making the bottom layers of the cake. Hope it does turn out the way I want it to. Update: I don't know how I feel about the vanilla layer. It looks like it's caved in in the middle. Yet I used the exact same recipe for the chocolate layer and that didn't happen. Not sure why. When I put a toothpick into the vanilla layer, it came out clean. Maybe I'll make another cake.
Dana - knew you'd be able to do the baptism. See? You worried for nothing!
machka - love your outfit!
Cheri - dancing with you
ryenday - welcome! Thanks for coming out (that somehow doesn't sound quite right...lol)
Lenora - so sorry about your car
Like Lisa - coming clean (sort of). I don't understand it. No matter what I do, it seems that I can't go below 130 without looking and feeling like c***. So I haven't really been trying, just mainly maintaining. Just recently I've noticed that my watch is a little loose. In the summertime in the past, it's usually gotten a little tighter, mainly because in the heat things expand. Wonder what's up with that?
ginwoo - welcome! just jump right in
Toni - welcome back!
DJ - happy early anniversary! How scary for your daughter. I can't believe that her boss wasn't crazy about her going home, did he really think that she could work well after that incident??? Glad she is OK
Toni - I had to laugh at Leigh's "1200 pounds" too. I know she meant "calories" but it was just funny.

I am riding my recumbent exercise bike and sort of watching the Mariners game. No dance class tomorrow because they are using the room for the blood bank so I can stay up later. I walked with my friend this morning (the one who's husband died ). It was good to be with her. She had lots to share with me. She has various family members coming the next few days. Today we liberated a lot of money from our savings to pay for the deck, painting, gutters, and fence. After all the years of saving, it feels strange to be planning to spend the money It has been warm today but not as bad as we expected ---lots of dog walking and some projects in the yard and garage

Barbie: Thank you for steadfastly getting us started on another inspiring month of sharing our journeys.
Thank you ALL for the encouraging words and expressions of support. It’s lifted my heart and spirits tremendously. Although I will miss the Girlfriend Trip to Europe, I’m positive I’ll get there one day.
Michele: Bravo to you for making space for more dvds. No one could ever accuse you of being in an exercise rut.
Lisa: ((hugs)) Count me among the masses that has never not been hungry. I now buy washed and trimmed celery at Costco, and devour a package a week by myself. And, I’m a pack a day sugarless gum chewer.
Meg: Good to see you. Keep coming back. Missya when you’re away too long. Oh, I can just imagine how tempted you were to adopt Roscoe.
Lenora: Sorry about your car...or should I say 'car-ma'?
DJ: Hope your DD is okay, physically and mentally. How scary.
Pip: What’s up with your non-functioning wahoo hrm? Time for a new one?
Becca: We have strong shoulders to support you as you transition towards life as an empty nester. I bet youngest son misses you just as much.
Were is Janetr?
July had mixed results. I lost about a pound, which is great for me. But, I didn’t keep to other commitments. These will be carried over into August Resolutions. Stay well friends. We can do this.

Hi there - newbie to the group...unsure how to do all the cool stuff like bold font and emoticons but now I see a toolbar above my typing, so I'm guessing I'll figure it out pretty quickly!
You ladies are an inspiration already!! I turned 54 a week ago ... my doc has been pleased that the weight I put on over the past decade has taken a year and half to get off of me. Currently I'm back at 263 pounds as of this morning, which is exactly the same weight I logged on this day in 2014...go figure! My highest weight ever was 386 pounds, and my lowest as an adult (without drugs to assist me) was 191 pounds by starving myself pretty much...I maintained that weight within 7 pounds over a 9 year period too. So, I know how to maintain it, and how it feels to love my body at that size!! Along came 2006 and a full hysterectomy. Since then, I'd gain and maintain (or so I thought) til Jan 1st 2016 when I had the typical NY Resolution moment and stepped on the scale to discover 311 staring back at me...I almost fainted because the same date a year before that I was 279 pounds...I remember because my intent was then to focus on a pound a week off of me - no matter what - til I was under 200 again...obviously, that didn't happen!!
So, I don't know how to reset my information from 2014 or any other time, and really don't care at this point. In the past year and a half, I've been good to myself and bad - really bad. However, consistently aware of my decisions and effort - minimal or not - to fight my way back to where I'm at today...I have had help from my daughter and son in law who both have had gastric sleeve surgery. My daughter had hers in November, and my son in law about 3 weeks ago. We share a house, and my evening meals are with them. Now that both of the adults are eating tiny portions, I have been doing my best to reduce my own meal sizes too...including getting rid of all oversized plates and bowls, that way visually I'm thinking my plate is full...getting rid of all "snack" foods, even the hidden ones, and the one's I used to sneak in and feel guilty eating and hiding while doing it...and, realize just how yucky I feel after eating something at a fast food place I know I'll regret immensely from just the belly ache alone!
My goal counter thingy says I'm supposed to consume 1910 calories, but MY goal is to stay under 1500 calories daily if possible. That's not including exercise which I do have a pretty sedentary thing going on so another goal for August is 5k steps...I know that doesn't seem like much to you super stars, but to me it seems almost impossible!! My hope is that I'll discover it's easier than I thought, and increase that step goal monthly from here going forward...Lastly, taking my Plexus products of one slim in the morning, two biocleanse during the day, and two probio5 before bed along with drinking at least 64 ounces of water with the goal of 90 to 100 ounces eventually.
So, if I'm tracking you guys correctly, the idea is to qualify your goals for the month, right?
Mine are:
~ Stay under 1500 calories daily - not to include the exercise calories off either!
~ Walk 5k steps daily
~ Plexus regimen
~ WATER equal or exceeding 64 ounces
Thanks for letting me share!

Hello, been lurking for a while and decided to come out this month.
The quick and dirty: 53yo, menopausal 5'4 195# and sedentary for decades in chronic pain and frequent intense hot flashes ( hobbling around like I was at least 80 years) but with Dr. clearing me (except telling me to LOSE weight) started eating healthy, eating less, and ramping up exercise since late April.
Slow going for sure, only a small bit of weight down, and the chronic pain has been largely replaced with DOMS pain from exercise ( so often I still hobble around) and the hot flashes have diminished some in length but not frequency or intensity.
TLDR: In other words, Hi and I am a hot mess, getting better, but a mess nonetheless.Machka: I'm a hat person myself. I have around 35 hats! Maybe once my hot flashes come under control I'll wear them again!
I hear you about the hot flashes.
Apparently, I've been perimenopausal since about 2011 ... when I was about 44. Over the next several years, I started ticking off the symptoms ... the occasional hot flash and/or night sweat, the bushy eyebrows, the acne along the jaw, and the dizziness in the 2 or 3 days leading up to my periods. Then I moved into the wild mood swings which went on for a couple years ... I hardly knew myself, and I think my husband toyed with the idea of sneaking out the back door an never coming back. Thankfully those settled in about mid-2014. Next up was the nausea to accompany the dizziness in the 2 or 3 days leading up to my periods ... like morning sickness. And then hot flashes joined the team so that for 2 or 3 days each month I lived on ginger tablets.
My periods decided that every 28 days wasn't nearly enough, and started appearing every 2-3 weeks with spotting in between. That was partly perimenopause, but also partly a very large polyp complete with precancer. Got that cleared up in January 2015 and hit my highest weight at the same time.
So, I joined MFP in February 2015 ... and lost the weight! The periods eased up a little, and the hot flashes and nausea disappeared (but still a bit of dizziness). Whew! That bliss lasted about 8 months. And then it all returned with a vengeance! In the week leading up to each period (which were still coming every 3 weeks or so), I was swamped with dizziness, nausea, hot flashes and intense painful itching all over. I couldn't wear half my wardrobe because it was either too hot or too scratchy.
They discovered a second polyp and more precancer in May ... I went for another surgery and fortunately everything is all clear in that regard now. And then I was hit with about a month of intense hot flashes combined with waves of nausea ... 20 or 30 a day. It's winter here and I started coming to work in my summer clothes!
That drove me to start taking evening primrose oil 3 times a day and black cohosh once a day.
I don't know if my body has just decided to cool it for a moment, or if the evening primrose oil and black cohosh are actually helping, but I've had about 2 weeks of relief. Thank goodness!
However, I just don't know what to expect next. I feel like I'm just along for the ride now!

Pip, wil PM my address so,you can send me your bandana. I have another lady at church that if I can track her down will try to get her to sign it.
I remember one time when I was out bike riding with my girls and they just went through stop signs, didn't use hand signals or anything, I'm not really sure why I was so upset at them. It was my job to make sure they learned.1 -
KJ - Doing experiments with kids is so much fun. We used to do a lot when the kids were small and also when my teen grandsons were younger. Those kids are so lucky to have you.
Lisa - No judgment here. You are being extremely hard on yourself, be kind. You knew you had a problem and have been trying to find a solution. We are with you. You are strong in so many ways. Stand Proud!
Dana- thanks for sharing about "Dunkirk" , it is a movie that DH really wants to see.
Cheri - Doing the Happy Dance with you.
Ginwoo- Welcome. You will find us to be a talkative, opinionated, supportive bunch. We talk about pretty much anything here in our safe zone.
DJ- Your poor daughter! That is so scary but I'm glad that she is okay and kept her purse. What an unnerving experience!
Looked like we were going to have a nice rain and then it rained for a total of 10 minutes. I am so disappointed. It is so hot , dry and smokey. It is making me apprehensive about going camping in B.C.
At least it cooled things down a little bit.
Daughter landed the Big Valley Jamboree gig. It will be a new experience for her. She's becoming an overnight success ( after pursuing art for her whole life). We will be keeping the grandkids and Boss. Also will be checking my sister's house this weekend. Larry just got called that the oak trim in a house is finally ready to be sprayed. It looks like he will be working into the weekend now. Definitely wasn't our plan. Hopefully we will be ready to leave on Monday or Tuesday.
We still have not unearthed DH's birth certificate. We may have to get him a new one before we carry on with the forms. I just want them done and out of the way. I am making appointment to finally discuss CPP disability after we get back from vacation.
Since we are going to be around this weekend I am going out with the girls on Friday night. We are going to do an Escape . There will be a lot of laughter if it is anything like our corn maze adventure. So looking forward to seeing them all. We haven't got together for a while and I missed out last time.
August Goals since I didn't make the headway I wanted in July
- Eat Less, Move More (cortisone cocktail should help with this)
- Log faithfully
- Get back on track with learning Italian.
- Do something that makes ME happy every day.
- Continue the decluttering of the past 30 plus years.

hi glo!
DJ how horrible for your DD, and what a thing to have a stranger just jump in and help. Scary but glad she is okay.
Taking DD's "boss" from camp out to dinner to say thanks to him--he is actually a young teacher that I work with that got DD this job - planning on walking there and having a salad- lots of food triggers and salt--so I need a plan to stay on track.
Facing the paper mountain on my dining room table this a.m. And if it isnt too hot, a walk to the gym which adds 3 miles (round trip) to my activity for the day! Yesterday started great food wise and then went way downhill-just eating everything bad for me, just anxiety eating I guess.
Strategy is stronger than willpower I'm pulling out that old chestnut today to help because I'm worth it, I don't have to hurt myself with food.

Hi all!
DJ - What a horrible experience for your daughter! Glad it wasn't worse, but those kind of things leave their mark. HUGS.
Dana - I posted previously, which you may not have seen, about my father's experience at Dunkirk.
Truly shattering for a 20 yr old. In my studies about it all for writing a novel I read a book called Dunkirk, by Hugh Seabag Montefiore. Very good and readable. What I had not been aware of, from my father's account, was the defense of the canals and bridges behind the town. True heroism and severe loss of life. My father refused to take part in any memorials or celebrations and I remember that discussion when I was a child. I'm not sure I will watch the film. I may change my mind.
I've just made hard boiled eggs in the IP. It may sound crazy, but it is truly amazing! We love egg sandwiches, but peeling the #×+÷% things was a major chore, especially as I like to peel them hot so they melt the butter I mash them with. Egg shells seem to have got really sticky! In the IP the shells just slip off! I remember a discussion a while back about Egg and Cress Sandwiches. Very British and old school. Here is a picture of the cress I bought from the supermarket. It is sold growing in the base. The original used to be "mustard and cress" , but you can't find that nowdays. When I grow my own on the windowsill I also use mustard seed, but you have to start them earlier as they take longer to germinate.
Can't wait for lunch! Going to keep half of the eggs for a snack on the way to Dover. The company haven't rung us yet about times.
My cleaner's car is in the garage so she can't come until late afternoon.

Morning all,
Impossible to name you all, but thank you to every one of you for your support. It is an incredibly strong foundation from which to start again. I'm off to meet a couple of contractors at the Girl Scout Camp near Alpine, so I'll just leave you with this. It's helping, for now:
Love y'all,

You can, if you use the person's online name. In other words, if you had used dreamwriter, it would have worked.
