Terry, thanks, it has thinned somewhat, especially around the temples and because I have my white streak, I can see my scalp thru the white hairs. Hopefully, this cut will st o some breakage I have been having by pulling it back into a pony tail 24/7!

Took the deep water class today. The plan for tomorrow is to do the “I Want That Body” DVD. Then the Green Room then we need more bleach for the pool (we only have one case) so afterwards I need to get 2 more cases. I get it there because it has the right concentration.

Barbie – lovely fence. You should be very proud of it.

Rye – I’m hoping that they don’t mess up my hair too badly today. Even if they do, hey, it’s hair, it’ll grow back out. And I’ll never go back, that’s IT.

Lately, no matter what I do, I’ve been getting these “rolls”. I don’t know if it’s the Lamictal or the fact that I’m now in meno that’s causing this. Wish I could get it to go away. Anyone else have this problem with rolls? I never used to have them. My eating is fairly decent, most days under calories. You know that I exercise a lot – mainly because I believe this helps with the osteoporosis.

Lisa – welcome to a great place

Wendy – is there something that repels carpenter bees? Or at least annoys them enough so that they don’t go somewhere?

I want everyone to know that I truly appreciate your comments about my food diary. Even tho I don’t often comment on someone else’s, I do look at them to try to get ideas

Exercised then went to get my haircut. Got a chin wax. I’d forgotten they also do lip waxes so I got that and a brow tint. I’m pretty happy with the haircut. Admitted, it was mainly just a trim. Now home and WAIT FOR IT – check valve in, flow meter in, 7 gallons of bleach in the pool and 1 in the spa. We’re on our way! YEA!!!!

Tonight ceramics

NYKaren – love the idea of blinging out the boot. Wish I’d done that when I needed to wear one. Tell me about how hard maintenance is

Welcome to the world AJ!!!

Re: drinking water. You name the store and I can tell you where the bathroom is….lol I do find that if I have unbuttered airpopped popcorn, that makes me want to drink. Also anything very spicy. And, of course, the bran muffins. I can usually have at least 24oz with ½ of a muffin

Carol – my hubby is so OCD, that it has to be done HIS way. Which is OK. Like today he was telling me how to get the leaves off the net from the pool and how I should shake it. What difference does that make? As long as I shake it and the leaves come off. So for that I just stand there in silence and then do it my way.

Fineaswine – welcome back! So sorry for all you went thru with Hurricane Harvey

Jackie – welcome! Bookmark this page so you can always get back. Just hit the star above (the one above the magnifying glass) and it will turn yellow

Katla – you’re not the only one who wishes we had DST all year long. Jess does in school

April - How'd I do?
Didn't do well with my goals for April.

1. Carbs 50-75g, max 25g per meal.
2. Fiber 30g.
3. Log & COMPLETE MFP diary daily.
4. Vegetables - 3-5 servings
5. Exercise - log 30 Fitbit minutes.
6. No eating after 9pm.
7. In bed by midnight.
8. Declutter more stuff.

Tracking I've made an effort to track and complete the entry daily in MFP.

I think I'll go back to basics.

May Goals
• Drink my water
• Carbs 50g daily
• Track my food
• 30 active minutes daily
• Work on sleep

Water. I was inspired by someone to drink 16 ounces of water when I wake up - before coffee or anything else. I've been doing that for a few weeks now. It's helping me drink more water. Priming the pump... so to speak.

Carbs. I'll try 50g max daily again. I was more successful doing that before.

Walk 30. I haven't done this. I did 23 minutes yesterday though so I'm starting.

Track.More diligent in May.

Sleep. I'm tracking it and trying to work my way back to reasonable sleep/wake times. Wake time was 2:30 for a while. Woke before 1:30pm in the last 2 days.

Let's have a great May everyone. ❤

Heather: I agree that staying hydrated is important. My favorite for hydration is sparkling water. It is fizzy, but has no artificial sweeteners. Regular water is in second place. I am happy to hear that you're beginning to feel a bit better. Yay! :bigsmile:

Becca: I used to love it when mom took my ponytail down at the end of the day. That felt sooo good. You brought back a great memory of my mom, and the reminder of how good it felt for her to take my ponytail out at the end of the day.


I just watched The Parent Trap on TV. Hayley Mills, and Halyey Mills, Maureen O'Hara & Brian Keith. I liked it as a kid, and enjoyed the memories this evening. Leo G. Carol played the minister. I loved him as Topper in the TV series and as the minister in Parent Trap, too. :bigsmile:

Lenora About the stuck rings. Did you try the trick of using dental floss to wrap your finger from the ring to a point above the knuckle? Search YouTube for how-to videos. It seems to work for lots of people.

Hi Sisters, it was a lovely day here. I have been in the saddle most of the day. First did a two hour farm ride with my Asperger's student, then did a sunset ride at the beach with another student. Sometimes I am the luckiest most blessed person alive!

Last night some colleagues and I went out to a restaurant for the first time in a long time and didn't drink alcohol and didn't miss it one bit! We split little apps, hummus, samosas and an amazing cauliflower tapas, it was so tasty and very satisfying.
Another hot day, last night we tried to open windows and pull down the screens, epic fail, luckily we're getting windows replaced in about a month, nick of time. I'm thinking about buying sheer blinds to add a little soft lighting and privacy to the room, it does get a nice bit of light.
Day 3 of being back on the wagon, so far so good.

Michelle - You've mentioned before that you don't weigh your food. How do you know you are staying within your calorie goal if you aren't weighing your food? If you are struggling with just a few pounds, I think the quickest "fix" would be to weigh everything for a few days and see if you are accurate in your guess of what you are eating. I know when I weighed an apple I was shocked that what I thought would be a small apple was actually considered a large apple. That alone was enough calories that it would have put me over my daily goal with just the difference in that one item. Sometimes we get lucky and it goes the other way too, when we weigh something it is actually smaller when we use grams to log it than the generic medium sized whatever we were using.

NYKaren - Yeah for you! You had a great NSV at the restaurant with friends. I am amazed at all the ways you can order cauliflower now. Great job on getting back on the wagon.

Wendy - Yeah for a great day riding!

Terry - I think a bedazzled boot is a great idea!! You have have the artistic eye to make it look great.

As for me, I continue to wait for my whoosh! I am almost finished with phase one of my project for work. I think I will get it sent off today. I will then start on phase two which is much smaller and should get completed next week if I don't turn over any more rocks with problems hiding under them. Hubs will be home tomorrow and it looks like he will be home all next week! Yeah for 10 days of him being home!

I can't remember who asked if there is room on my patio for more, of course! Pull up a chair! There is always room for one more! We always have way too much food (which is great for my freezer) and plenty of beverages!

Hi ladies, already over this boot! My arms are sore from using a walker to get around when I don’t have the boot on and am trying to stay off my foot. Only use it to go to the bathroom at night rather than strap on the boot. It’s going to be a long 3 weeks.

Guess I should set some May goals. April was a disaster.

Goals: drink more water, lose 5 lbs and track for the whole day not just start out the day tracking and then fizzle out.

Well that’s about it. Guess I better think about getting ready for work.

Hi,
Am behind. Will catch up. Just about the time I am feeling caught up, I get knocked down. Had a strange episode yesterday at work. Was doing great, taking care of customers, estimates were called, parts orders in, just needed to call folks to let them know their mowers were done. All of a sudden I got light headed and nauseous. Thought drop in blood sugar, so fixed lunch. Took one bite. Gently pushed customer out of way on way to bathroom. Diarrhea and vomiting. Felt I was going to pass out. Wanted to curl up on bathroom floor. After about 20 mins, came out, grabbed my purse, came home. Barely said bye to anyone. Water, tea with honey, and heavy blanket as I got cold. Slept off and on. Woke up with migraine. Managed dinner then rested rest of night. It was scary and strange. Hoping today is better! Will stop for some electrolyte water on way to work. Hoping was just heat/water related.
Welcome to May!
(((Hugs))) to those in need
Congrats to all success large or small
Welcome to those just joining
Thank you Barbie for getting us over to this new month.

Have a blessed day!

Good morning! Happy Thursday! Another rainy morning, here. I brought the recycle bin upstairs so that the kids can rummage through and make what ever they want out of the millions of cardboard tubes, jars, containers, stickers, stamps, labels, etc. Hoping for a day like yesterday; the rain stopped about 10:30am and the sun was out for the rest of the day, so we were able to get out and make a chalk "village" on the driveway.

Mary-Baby AJ! Congrats! Is this a younger brother to the twins?

Felicia or Lanette- I think the greenhouse belonged to one of you? It is gorgeous!

Barbie and Rori-Ugh! The infamous photo box (or boxes)! I have one that I have been intending to get organized. We probably all have one. Maybe this summer, I will get to that. I need to begin scanning and putting it all on a stick, drive, or some sort of "saving" device before age takes some of the photos away from me.

Terri- Definitely decorate that boot! I think you should turn it into a SUPERHERO boot! Use some velcro and attach a cape to the back of it!

Welcome to all of the new strong women! Bookmark! Log! Talk! Move! Always exciting to meet new women, who are taking steps to make their lives better! My name is Kelly (KJ), I am 51, found this thread over 2 years ago, am on a journey to lose 80 pounds by making healthier choices in my life!

Oooops! Early arrival! gotta fly! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

OH! I have a fox family close to my house! I can hear them in the evening, and I have also seen one of the adults walking past my house! It strolled along my fence line and crossed my yard (then the street) the past two evenings (about 6:30pm). THEN, I saw it again this morning about 6:30am, following the same path! Yea! Haven't seen them in such a long while, I thought they had gone!

Don't ask me "what the fox says"; he didn't stop to chat, so I have no idea!
