Paula the Aleve seemed to really help. Thanks for the tip!
145.2 this morning. And this is exciting...I'm taking my car to the car wash this morning!! People will point and say, "Ice blue, pretty!" instead of, "EEWWEE, yuck brown, nasty!" Must go now to beat the Friday rush!

Oh my gosh! I missed Romans birthday and so much else. Love the photos Chris and reading everything from you all! Today was my first day off in two weeks! I weighed myself! It was bad! 150.6! Work does not agreed e with me. I was so lazy today. I walked the boys and chatted with my neighbor. And did nothing else!
It was great!
Going to workout tomorrow. The eclipse was great here. We locked the jail. All non essential personnel went outside and watched it. We could hear people cheering from all over the city and even fireworks! It really was kewl.
Night all. So glad to be back to normal!

Chris,
I had crippling arthritis 30yrs ago and a specialist tested several medicines on me. A lot of them worked a bit for awhile, but then Naproxen (aka Aleve now) did the job. So glad it helped you!!!!
I had a friend who always complained. She's a smart fun person... but the whining! When I asked (trying to save our friendship) if we could be more optimistic, she got all huffy. She stopped calling and that was okay. Now she wants to be friends on Facebook, ugh... "Been there, done that, didn't work."I'll put effort into things, but if a relationship goes South, I wish them sincere luck with their future, but it won't be with me. And I know the same goes for me. If I screw up with someone and lose them, I need to let them go and do better somewhere else. I wish I'd written back to my college roommate, but never got around to it. So then she disappeared and I could never find her.
My nephew broke up with a fiance to marry someone else, and then got all upset that the first girl didn't want to talk to him!?%*$! Normally he's a really cool kid, but that was so dense (and callous) and naive.
Oh Shelley, such a wonderful holiday! So glad it was special for you!!! Wish we could've been there with you!
164 this morning, still floating in "not in the 170's anymore" euphoria.

You are right about this one, Paula. I could have been free of her but she celebrated my b'day, I needed to acknowledge hers. She was surprised to hear from me. She thought I was mad at her for something she said the last time we were together. Missed that opportunity, didn't I? Well, turns out she cancelled this morning because she over-worked herself in her garden yesterday and hurts today. So we'll see what happens.
Shelley, glad you had a fun eclipse!!
My weight is up, up, but it was Ronan's b'day party yesterday. That's my excuse. I'll post a picture soon.

129.6! Yay! Have been tracking and doing well in spite of the craziness. Still surrounded by flood waters and closed roads here in the Houston suburbs. But my house is dry and I still have power. Hoping Harvey stops raining on us soon so that creeks can drain. Lots of people having to evacuate. I feel very blessed to be safe.0

191.6 this morning. I spent the last 5 days at the beach with my bff who was celebrating her 55th. My niece also went with us. Lots of R&R, walking on the beach and playing in the water. But probably too much food & drinks. We'd see what happens with the scale in the next few days. Good fun and beautiful area very close to Pensacola, Fl.
Belated happy birthday Ronan!

Chris and Paula so insightful!
Paula so glad for your loss! You keep it there. I wish you could have been here also!
Chris, Ronan is growing up so quickly! And birthdays are for fun and indulging a little!
Kathy you are doing so great! I can hardly wait to hear you made it under 190! So close! Pom POM's up! :drinker:
Clara stay dry.
Went to buy dog food at Petco. They were getting ready to remodel the saltwater area. Selling everything for cheap. I felt bad for some snails, corals, feather duster, crabs and some corals. And one little peaceful fish. Bought them all. There were some fish that were to aggressive for me. They were going to dump what was left. I saved as much as I could house. Poor fish.

Shelly, I read this just after getting home from MIL's funeral. First reaction was "Is that a typo?" then realized you meant my weight!!!zumbaforever wrote: »Paula so glad for your loss! You keep it there.

paula
Poor fish!!! So glad you were able to save the peaceful one. Hero-Shell!

Paula I so see my mistake now. I am sorry for my poor choice of words. I hope you received my card. And am sending you more hugs. And I am glad you were able to realize I meant weight. Sorry for the wording. But very happy for your weight loss!
I am charting my food today. Hoping that will work again.

The little fish is doing well. And last night I moved everyone that was done with quarantine into the large tank. They have been there for months! I was scared to move them. So far all are well.

I was 148.8 this morning. I so dislike that number...going for a walk this morning, meeting w/our trainer this afternoon, paying closer attention to what goes in my mouth...ugh.

Hindu Vedic-inspired steps to change.
- Hmmm... something doesn't feel right...
- Oh, it's that extra tire around my waist!
- Boy' I'd like to get rid of that! (*see spoiler)
- But how?
- Oh I eat too much at night!
- I'll try to stop eating after dinner.
- And try, try, and keep trying.
- Lose weight, gain weight, come up with excuses and justifications...
- And succeed, and fail, and try again (to be repeated for what seems an eternity).
- Until one day, I didn't have to consciously to think about it because somehow it had just become second nature.
Night eating was like one of those colds that lingered and lingered until one day I realized that it was gone. I'd been telling myself "No, just say no!" for months this year; and finally seem to have learned to listen and obey.
Down 12 pounds and still creeping in the right direction.
paula* "Wanting to change" as opposed to one of my favorite teenage pastimes "wanting to wallow" - which was quite enjoyable in its own way (Poor me! Nobody understands! It's not my fault! Why is life so unfair? and other immature self-pitying delusions that I morbidly embraced.
Boy, it is so nice to be growing up!1 -

Thank you Paula!
Loved the spoiler. Now I must grow up. It actually reminded me of the addicts and thieves I take to court. All the whining and self pitying! So do not want to be like them. Kept track of my food better today! Ouch, good thing I did.

147.8 this morning at 5:00. Will get 5 miles done w/DH then a 60 min workout w/our trainer. It has been a crazy week. DDD has a really, really tough class this year. Only in her third week and she's written seven referrals, sent kids to the office, sent others to a 'buddy room' and is exhausted already. So sad.
Chris1 -
I think it will get tougher on teachers and parents alike. There is just so little in today's society for kids to do that teach them to work together. To learn responsibilities. We see more and more in the courts. And they are starting younger also. Used to be if chores were not done you would go hungry. Now that was a real consequence. Now your parents just talk to you until they are blue in the face!
There are still more good kids out there though! That makes me smile.
149.8 this morning. Better than all last week.
Shelley1 -
They usually split the harder-to-manage kids among the four first grade teachers. The other three have one each. DDD got seven!! The Kinder teachers can recommend who they want the kids to go to. The Office Admin also places the kids, as does the Principal. DDD has all the Special Education Certs and taught special ed for three years...Everyone knows how good she is with the kids, but now she's overwhelmed. And, Yes! the other 22 kids are great, but they are losing out because she's having to discipline kids who interrupt the lessons, walk around the classroom whenever they want, leave the classroom whenever they want, and yell back at her during class time. EGAD!!!
I am measuring my food now. I can't handle these extra pounds.
Chris0 -
Oh Chris, that isn't fair! Maybe they think she's just better at handling the tough cases. Either way, it isn't fair!
Forgot to weigh in this morning. Warm here today, but not as warm as where Chris is, and not as wet as where Harvey is (Derek's cousins live in Houston), so no complaints.
Looking forward to doing some arms on the TRX tonight.

Oh, and I forgot about the one who is telling kids in the classroom to "suck his you-know-what" ...loudly, I might add. A first grader...first grade...I didn't even know that phrase until I was 13.
Chris0 -
And we are not supposed to spank them and to talk nice to them! They need to split them up more. The little monsters feed off of each other and it so is not fair to the other children! They stand a good chance of being the inmates of tomorrow. So sorry for DDD!
Paula I sure hope the best for Derek's family. Harvey is much worse than Katrina was. At least it seems like it.
Well night all!

192.0 this morning. Disappointed at my month. I'm not where I wanted to be. September must be better. The bright side is I did have a very small loss in August.
September is my busiest month at work so I will have to control the stress eating.
