Hi all! I'm a newbie to this group, really enjoying reading the posts, not posting too much yet, but working on it.... I have noticed a few posts about after dinner "snacking" and what a problem it can be. I am a victim of that myself and I find one thing that really works for me is to floss and brush my teeth soon after dinner. It just seems to stop the cravings and, because I don't want to have to brush again before bed, it stops me from eating too. Yesterday was a good day, lots of exercise, both planned and unplanned! Have convinced hubby to go out a few times for a walk, for his benefit more than mine, and now he's even suggested it a few times. Now, because it's getting dark so soon after dinner, I've suggested we go later in the afternoon, before dinner. It works out well, we don't go far, only about one mile, it's about all hubby can handle right now. He has a bad heart and a herniated disk in his lower back so he is limited in what he can do. We are waiting for a call from a neurosurgeon (who seems to be taking his own sweet time!).
Today won't be such a great day, not too much exercising going to be happening. I don't normally work on Thursdays, but my boss asked and I said yes, so..... I can do some walking here tho, so I've already done a bit, according to my fitbit, 19 min, so.... It's not the same as spending 35 min on the elliptical, but at least it's something. I will just need to be careful with my food choices today, and dh and I probably will go for a walk when I get home, it will still be early enough, so that will help.
Hope everyone has a great day! "Talk" to you soon!

Cat - This sounds like me. I injured my back last spring, lifting the front runner of a snowmobile carelessly. I've been paying for it with inability to exercise and the weight gain that caused. But now I'm back on track; started with weight training again about a month ago.ctleonard9 wrote: »Early this year I injured my upper inner thighs and hip flexors over-doing the stationary bike and that set me back on my exercise for several months. Now I just started weight training again.
Welcome to the group! You can get a lot of support and encouragement here. Hope you find your way back again!

Today is our 8th anniversary. We are going out to dinner at Salt Grass Steakhouse, one of my favorite places. I got a beautiful bouquet of roses this morning.

Happy World Teachers Day!
And to those of you who are, or were, teachers: Thank you!
Machka - My parents may have been disappointed not to have their oldest child give them grandchildren, but my sister and brother took up the slack and Mom and Dad never gave me grief about my choice not to have them. My mother-in-law only tried it once... I love her but she's a horrible snob. What she said in essence was that so many dumb people have lots of children that smart people had a duty to try and balance things out. That was insulting on so many levels we just brushed it off.
Penny - Your veggie plate looks yummy! The one I have trouble with is celery. It's not that I hate it, and I cook with it a lot, but I have a hard time looking at raw celery as food. Even a dollop of peanut butter or hummus just makes it a vehicle for actual food. Oh, and broccoli... I don't eat that raw, cooked, I would not eat it in a box, I would not eat it with a fox.
Carol - So sorry you don't have a good spot for your cana lilies. What about between the sidewalk and the road? Bet they'd keep in a bucket in a dark spot for awhile until construction is finished.
Rye - I'm worried about Mike the Reindeer too!
Janet - Happy anniversary! May you celebrate many more!
I'm going to the river house again tomorrow to spend another weekend working on roman shades. No Octoberfests or whiskey tastings or anything like that this weekend, though, so staying on track with calories shouldn't pose a problem although I may or may not be able to log in from there. My sister assigned me dinner Saturday night so I've got to take a minute before I go back to work to plan something quick and easy (or a slow cooker entree). It's something like 66 stair steps from the house down the bluff to the pecan bottom and then another ways from there to the river, so I'll be getting my exercise!
Don't forget to take a minute for yourselves today!

Aw, Margaret, you’re so sweet.
Praying for Baby Brady, Mary.
Evie, just last night I felt the urge to snack on something, but the fact that I had just brushed my teeth convinced me to ignore the urge. My autocorrect changed your name to “evil” by the way. If I ever call you that, it’s not really me, it’s my stupid autocorrect.
I just updated to the new iOS and my bad typing is sprinkled with numbers. What is up with that? Now I have to work twice as hard to proofread what I wrote. Grrrrrr!
We have switched back to a more concentrated program at the gym, so I might go back to posting my workout. I love this so much better than what we were doing.
Today, butt day, we did 4 sets of 10 reps each of:
Step ups, with 5 risers
Glute push downs using the assisted pull-up machine
That horrible machine where you hang from your waist with your arms crossed at your chest and your feet hooked behind you to keep from falling while you raise up and down.
Squats with easy bar held to your chest with your arms crossed
On back, butt raised, push exercise ball back and forth with one leg at a time.
Afterwards, we walked for 30 minutes.

Good afternoon. I enjoy reading your posts. Some of you are amazing writers!
I love that reindeer.
Happy birthday, Josephine!
Happy anniversary, Janet!
Prayers for Brady.
Lovely new shoes!
Losing weight comes with so much drama! For me, anyway. I'm doing fine, but I'm beginning to hate food. Not in an eating-disorder way. I just can't find anything that I can eat that I really want to eat. Part of that is related to having Celiac. I could really go for a slice of warm sour dough bread with butter on it. Or a slice of pizza from Giordano's in Chicago. I could eat a slice of gf bread, but have you tried it? Disgusting. And we do eat gf pizza nearly once a week (usually Friday night), and it's fine. But, definitely not Giordano's.
I'll get over it, but it's a little frustrating. Nothing is really satisfying -- maybe my sense of taste is still messed up from the sinus infection? I hadn't thought about that. That's probably all it is.
We've been a little stressed at home this week, too. My husband found out Friday that he has been assigned to teach in a part of the world that we didn't think Americans should be going to. At first we were super excited because not a lot of Americans have been there. (Remember, my husband wanted us to vacation in Cuba so we could say we'd been there.
-- he's not going to Cuba.) But after the first couple days, we started thinking differently about it. It doesn't smell or feel right, but his company is confident everything is fine. (They are sending three employees.) My teenager and I were talking about it on the way to school this morning, "Is he really going to ___? You know, it's not safe." 
The visa process has been excruciating, and he's had to get up in the middle of the night to deal with people in the host country who are making arrangements because that's when they are at work. 
Makes me tired to think about.
He asked me if I want to go.
Under different global circumstances, I would jump at it. But no. Oh, well.
Welcome to the newcomers. I'm new, too.

Penny, you’re answer about the missing posts makes sense to me. Thanks. I’m finding I’m missing some posts too. People will be talking about something and I’ll think I must have missed that. Glad to hear it isn’t just me. I’ll have to go back further than I have been.
Heather, such cute pictures. You just want to pinch their cheeks!
Josephine, sounds like you are having a perfect b-day. I’m so glad. You must be happy that you can wear your wedding ring again. It feels good even if it isn’t clothes that fit again! And such nice compliments. I got one today too. A co-worker said she saw me from the back I was getting curves! Made my day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Kate, love the trainers. People will see you coming a mile away. Love it!
Heather, sounds like you are really relaxing. Good for you. We all need to slow our pace sometimes.
Mary, sending good thoughts Brady’s way. ((HUGS))
Becca, I used the power of smell the last two places I sold when I was having an open house. I always baked bread before anyone came and everyone always commented. I sold two places on my own. I hate paying a realtor. I want the $$ in my pocket. Not sure what I will do next time as where we live is off the beaten path. There are some avenues I can use so as the time gets close, I’ll have to do some research. Love the picture. I agree that memories, family and love aren’t in the pictures but in a person’s heart.
Cat, welcome. Once you find us again, just select the star on the top right of the screen to bookmark us.
Allie, take a nap, you’ve had a stressful day!
Evelyn, so glad you came back. That’s a good idea about the flossing. I had forgotten about that trick. Sending good thoughts for your husband’s drs’ appt tomorrow.
Janet, Happy Anniversary! Dinner and flowers? You’ve got a keeper there. But you probably know that already.
Yvonne, put peanut butter on your celery. It’s good if you haven’t tried it. The comment your MIL made about having kids just goes to show you that once again people don’t think before the speak.
Carol, could you put some of the lilies in a pot on a porch?
I went out to lunch with a friend today and had a hamburger without a bun. I’m getting use to them that way. Going to have an Evol tv dinner tonight. They are actually quite good and healthy for a tv dinner. Here a link to their website. https://www.evolfoods.com/
Well closing for now. You ladies have been very chatty today and it’s been hard to keep up. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love hearing all about what is going on in your life.

I just had a copy/paste snafu and lost my whole post. I am one frustrated woman. Prayers for baby Brady, and hugs for all who need them. I'll stop by again later.

Giordano’s delivers! Seriously! Twice or thrice a year the hubby and I save up for a special occasion like his birthday and order Giordano’s stuffed pizza delivered to us in Texas. I don’t eat the crust, btw, but celiac
prob not even skipping crust! (Amazed, no one ever knows what I mean when I say real Chicago pizza i.e. stuffed pizza i.e. Giordano’s!) 1 -
On Facebook each day you can see copies of posts you've made on this day in past years Below is what showed up today from 2012. Jack was still flying for ATI. This is why I was happy when he retired. He was sometimes gone for 12-15 days at a time. Normally it was gone 7-10 days, home for seven days bfore leaving on the next trip.
"Jack just called he leaves Hawaii tomorrow for Wake Island, then to Tokyo, then I think he told me Greenland before coming back to San Jose, Sacramento and home. Guess it'll be a while before I see him!!"

Hi all,
Had a fantastic meal at the Ginger Pig. Then DH and I had an argument.
More a ridiculous row. Quite utterly stupid. I get over it quickly, but he harbours it. It was all about nothing at all. So stupid and sad.
I try to make it up, but he's still upset. We seem to do this every now and then. We always get over it, but it is so unecessary when we are having a lovely time. We are both at fault.
Tomorrow is another day. Let's hope we are feeling better.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxx4 -
Janet ~ Happy Anniversary!

Thank you for all your prayers and good thoughts! Baby Brady has a clean bill of health. The river (blood flow) that sounded like a creek is now a river again!
Janetr- Happy Anniversary! Enjoy your special day with your DH celebrating!
Heather - (((hugs))) I hope that everything smooths over very quickly for you and DH.
