    Kathy has reached goal.

    Shingles isn’t the way to do it! :( I’m going to try to keep off as much as possible once I start feeling better....exercise...Tennis starts mid March and I have my bike.

    Oh!! I was 144.6 this morning at 7:00! Yea, we slept in...no walking...no nothing. The wind is really cold and crazy today. I did go out to Nick's niche and change up his flowers and hang for a while. Reading now and waiting for dinner time. Had a few walnuts, but they don't get it. Do you know you cannot find salted walnuts? You can find candies/glazed/sweet walnuts but they don't come salted. I wonder why. Maybe that's a good thing.

    I hate taxes. But they are a necessary evil.

    Well today was busy. I did not even weigh in until after I ate! Argh. So I am not saying it, or typing it. :wink: Went to the grocery store. Cleaned the large tank. Sand, rocks and all. Had the grandkids over. Walked the kids. Now going to goof off and do a small workout.

    177.2 this morning. I believe the adjustment I was expecting is happening. The fatigue keeps me from exercising right now. Hopefullly within a week I’ll be back at it. Mom’s follow up is tomorrow. Unfortunately I can’t take her but will be on cell phone.

    Kathy, hope you are better soon and that you mom gets good follow up news.

    Shelley, sounds like a great day w/shopping, fishes and grandkids!

    145.8 this morning at 6:00. Sure did like yesterday's number... :p Including today...22 days until b'day. Just keeping at it! However, the 1,700 steps yesterday does not help the weight loss...of that I am sure. It was a 'butt planted in the chair' day!!

    Tax info all together and ready for meeting next Monday.

    Day 28 of my streak.

    Egads, I did it again. Got up, took care of all my fish care routines first. Load of laundry in the washer, showered and then sat down and ate! Really, I did not even bother to eat after that. We are getting snow, lots of it. I bet there is over a foot out there now.

    I moved my baby mollies to their new home. They seem confused as to how to act with all that space. They are in with the starfish and new snails. 3 months of quarantine for them all. Then new homes.

    Kathy I think I will look into that vaccination now. Saying a prayer for your mom.

    Oh, want some inspiration as we age ladies? Look up Jeanne Daprano.

    Well I think my scales are off. 150.8. No way! I was so good. Throwing the darn thing away. Well I moved my baby fishes into the starfishes tank. So now there are 12 snails, 50 something fish and two starfish. Those babies are so cute.

    Hope you had a great walk Chris.

    Shelley, I often think about taking my scale into the back yard and using my Thor hammer on it. Have fun w/your fishies.

    146.0 at 5:00 this morning. Early p/u for R&B this morning. Meeting w/our trainer at 1:00. Might be able to talk DH into a walk around 3:00. We walked yesterday after R&B were picked up. Sunshine but really cold winds. The wind was too cold to take the baby out yesterday.

    146.0 this morning at 4:00. Early p/u again. Don't know about taking the boys out or walking this afternoon. We are supposed to have high winds and MAYBE some rain...whatever that is.

    Bouncing at 175.
    Even my fat clothes are tight.
    Bought something to wear at work, just to be decent.
    They make me look so matronly.
    :sad:

    Chris send me your hammer! I was down some this morning. :)

    Paula I so understand. :(

    I am bummed. Rocky is taking our Oscar in tomorrow. I will let Rocky say goodbye without me this time. I just think we could wait for awhile. Not ready. This really stinks.

    On a happier note we went to dinner with some friends. I had half my burger and less than half my fries. Not bad.

    179.4 this morning. I’m at 75%. Still working part days but have worked myself up to 7 hours...I usually work 10. My mom’s followup went well. The stent worked and she doesn’t have to go back for 3 months. My dads follow up is in April.

    I’m feeling much better and I’m going to start very light exercise...a few minutes on the bike. Starting to eat a little more but trying to be careful because it would be great to keep most of this weight off...I went through a lot for those 10lbs. :-)

    Thank you for all the well wishes...I’m getting there!

    145.6 this morning at 5:30. ...if only... Yesterday's walk was nice...cold but not windy...freezing wind picked up later in the morning and could have blown over a small child or puppy!! Crazy weather! Keeps the smog out tho.

    Walking, yoga, shopping...staying out of the pantry. Made goulash yesterday. It turned out pretty good. Low sodium for DH and pretty tasty. Still a dish in the works.

    Glad to see Kathy is feeling better.

    Sorry I was not here yesterday. Having a pity party. I miss my huggy bear. That was Oscars nickname. When he was young he loved to chase balls. I used to get so annoyed when I wanted to read out in the yard. He thought it was time to run and play. Right through my gardens. Such a silly boy. Then he would climb up on me and give me a hug. Oscar loved to eat. He was always first in line for meals and snacks. Miss him.

    Shelly, it’s hard when you lose pets. They add so much to our lives.

    cpanus Posts: 20,282 Member
    I'm so sorry, Shelley. It's really sad to lose a fur baby. I know when we lost our cat Toby, I'd get a glimpse of him walking down the hall or come around the corner into the kitchen in the old house looking for Nick or curled up in Nick's computer chair. I sometimes see him and Nick here in the new house when we first moved in. They were a team.

    Kiss all your fur babies and human babies and hold them tight. Tell them you love them all the time. <3<3

    Thank you all so very much. We all have missed loved ones.

    I weighed in, after I ate. But hey, I remembered! Back to 149.6 We took a long walk with the kids. That Libby Lu loves to run and play. :)

    Congratulations on day 34. You are inspiring me.

    Shelley
