Allie, when I colored my hair, that was the color I always wanted but never quite managed to get. I think it looks great, and I like the haircut too!

Hi all,
I am new, sort of. I have been using this site since January to log my journey from 166 lbs to 144 lbs. Along the way I got my husband onboard and together we have been doing what we can to eat better and get exercise.
I love that I am able to go for long walks with him now, he used to just say "See ya when ya get back!"
I didn't really have official goals for May, but below are my goals for June:
1) Don't over eat when traveling or at my daughter's graduation
2) Don't talk about my weight journey to everyone. (I'm excited about my loss but I know it isn't that exciting to everyone else.)
3) Up my running stamina from 1 mile to 1.5 miles
4) 10,000 steps or more per day (at least 5 days a week)
5) Break the 143 lb barrier (my scale is teasing me ... I can't seem to talk it into seeing things my way!)
Feel free to friend me!

Allie - love your hair. I once wore my hair in a similar color and style. I've let the color go natural but the style is still similar. Yesterday I was in Walmart shopping and I seriously thought about getting a temporary color - something wild like blue or purple - honestly just to tease Mama (91). I've tried to talk her into doing something wild with hair color just for fun.

Allie ~ Love the hair. You need to add some lipstick and cheek color so your face isn't drained out.1

Thank you ladies for your comments regarding the treatment we received at our son's wedding. Haven't talked to him yet about any of it, thinking of sending an email, I'm not good in person, I tend to get emotional and cry. That makes it difficult to remember what I want to say.

Evelyn ... don't send an email. Emails are for conveying information. They are horrible for communicating feelings. No matter how talented you are at writing, emails cannot convey what you need to say personally. Your son needs to LOOK at you and SEE what words can never express.

Allie - I love that color, and have attempted to get it more than once, but end up wandering around somewhere in the strawberry blonde range--not a good look for olive-toned skin.
Evelyn - I have to agree - while we're good here about adding emoticons, and kind of come into the process expecting everyone to be positive and uplifting, anything with emotional baggage is best said in person so your voice, your face, your gestures can carry the weight of the emotion. E-mails are so easy to misinterpret, and to overblow the negatives. I know what you mean, though, I cry too when I'm angry or upset, which just ends up ticking me off even further, and crying harder.No fun. If you write an e-mail, you're pretty much writing it to make yourself feel better, rather than trying to make a change in someone else's behavior, if that makes sense.
Just stopping in quick while I'm waiting to get started on a teleconference kickoff meeting for an October event. Should be interesting, and I've already sent out all the materials. Half the people won't have looked at them, though, a quarter of them won't be able to look at them 'cause they're on home computers, and the others will love them and have no suggestions--if it goes the way it usually goes.
For the new ones, Barbie will post a link later on this evening that will lead you to the June thread. We start clean and fresh each month. You can start by posting your goals for the month of June there, take a breath and dive right in! Look forward to seeing everyone there...

My 18 yo granddaughter (turns 19 in August) informed us all today that she got engaged today and if all can be arranged, will be married July 7th. Oh my. Ok so don't ask cuz I dont know, but of course we all are thinking it. Am I going to be a great-grandma twice just a few months apart? We shall see.

I was married at 18 in June and turned 19 in September. Will be married 31 years next month. I was pregnant when we announced the wedding but lost the baby three weeks before. My grandmother, for the first time ever in my life, truly hurt me when I told her I was pregnant. I have never been able to get those words out of my head. It sounds to me you might be a little excited to have another great grandbaby. If that is the case. I love your attitude towards it. To me there is so many worse things that can happen to a young woman than having a surprise.
Thanks for sharing that. I lost my first two pregnancies also and it was devastating. My youngest daughter came to me at 16 and told me she was pregnant. I cried, then wrapped her in my arms (she's 5" taller than me) and we cried together . Then she asked me, what are "we" going to do? I told her it's totally your decision and you're the one that has to live with with the decision. I will back you whatever you decide. This is my 24 yo grandson getting married in two weeks. Absolutely my heart.
As for my granddaughter she told her Mom, my oldest daughter, last week that she might be pregnant. Then later told her no, she must have messed up the test. Then last evening granddaughter asked me how being a Great-grandma made me feel? I told old but happy, so kind of made me think. Either way I'm happy for her and just want her to have a good life with a man that loves her and will cherish her. And there's no such thing as too many grands and great-grands.

Hugs ladies. Waiting for fast food from taco bell. I really haven't eaten for the past couple of days, and when husband was going out, he asked me what I wanted. My brain uttered burrito supreme, and a crunch wrap supreme. Sighs, well I will enjoy it all immensely, and tomorrow is shopping day. I will buy healthy choices. I am down to 237.8 this morning so 13 lbs since moving on the island. It's all good!
My vertigo is hanging on so I'm on my left side most of the day and during the night. My head feels detached from my body, and my neck is really sore. Still taking my cold medicine.
Take care all!

Hi Gals,
Interesting comments on the solar panel shaded lots, they are everywhere (or at least a-lot-of-where) in N. California many schools, all the city buildings it’s brilliant, shade in the summer and in the winter you can get in and out of your car in the rain without getting drenched.
Allie – it is adorable!!! Great color, and cute cut!!!! I’m not good at makeup either, but find someone who’s makeup looks like you would like to look and ask for help.. Who cares anymore what Tom thinks… He just wanted to be able to be the one prowling while he kept you looking dowdy….
Smiles
Kim from N. California
