140.8 at 5:00 this morning. Okay...ate the salad toppers...salt...and the dried cranberries /walnut salad toppers...toot, toot, toot...and a few Ritz...but decided against dessert. Came to my senses around 2:00 yesterday. Will toss everything in the trash in a bit. DH an't see me do that.
Walking w/DH then working out w/DDD and our trainer then shopping. We'll get the R&B this evening while the kids go to a b'day party.

Shell - She cracked 4 ribs, had a concussion, etc. and was sucking a trickle of water with a radiator hose - for a week! It's an amazing story, isn't it! Amazing.
161.2 this morning.

Shelley, she just looked me up and down...didn't say anything. Our instructor had a couple of cool stories about stories I wrote while I was editor of the paper. The not friend didn't have anything like that when she was editor...she kept trying to make all the stories about her somehow. blaaaa Chris

Paula that woman went through a life changing event. I bet she is nervous driving for a long time. And I hope Chris gets a laugh from the slinky joke. I know I did.
Chris what Paula said!

Forgot to mention. Took my mother to the mall. She couldn't remember the last time she went to one. The wheel chair made all the difference. We walked and pushed her all over. It was a good time.

139.2 at 7:00 this morning. (140.2 at 5:00 but went back to bed
)
I love the slinky joke!!! So true! And good job using the wheel chair. I bet she had a blast.
Day off today. We had R&B until 11:30ish last night. Ronan didn't quite know what to do. We didn't know quite what to do. Finally I asked him if he wanted to "stroller" and that was the magic we needed...that and him holding onto my finger tight...kinda hard to manage a stroller that big with just one hand and my rib cage...but it worked!!
DH let me sleep until 7:00.
We are thinking maybe we'll take the boys to the park this morning. We'll have them while DDD goes to the dentist.0 -
I just found out my junior college only-friend died last year. Her ex found my phone number in her things and called. We'd been estranged - my fault. I procrastinate when I don't want to do/say something and I didn't want to tell her not to use my house as a hotel. I'm sure she would've said "no problem" but I put it off cuz I didn't know how to phrase it. The time stretched out till it was acutely embarrassing. I didn't want to say "no" and hurt her feelings - but it probably hurt her very badly to not say anything, and now it's too late. I'm so sorry Irene.

I'm so sorry, Paula. That's so sad.
140.8 this morning at 5:00. Peppermint breakdown yesterday.
The new bag of peppermint doesn't taste right to me. DH thinks it's okay. SIL said it tasted a little "off". DDD doesn't like peppermint candy...she hadn't tried it yet. I can still eat them...not problem...but come on guys...okay, it might be me and meds I'm taking cange my taste buds or something scientific like that...I don't know but I did get into a snark-contest with Candy Warehouse customer service. They gave me a 20% refund of $4.00 **sigh** I told them it sould have been a new bag of peppermint...but "NOOOOOOO!" company policy won't allow that. Oh well.
Chris1 -
Customer service - slinky candidates
160.0 this morning. On the precipice of a new goal. Last time I was in the 150's was three years ago.
paula1 -
bwahahah! Yes!!
Okay, Paula, if you are making your goal the 150's, I'll make mine 132.2 which was my original 60 pound goal weight. I was there for a while then went crazy!! I think Christmas would be a good target date. What do you think?
Shelley, Kathy and Clara...what do you ladies think??
Chris0 -
You're on, Chris, but make my goal be the 140's. I plan on hitting that by Halloween, though, so a Christmas deadline should be a breeze! Power on!!!1
-
Found this little guy in my backyard, Chris. Maybe he'll thwack some sense into your gopher. Baby dragons might look small and harmless but they can be pretty powerful.1 -
OMG!!! I want one! He's purple, too!! I love him!! Yep, he can have the gopher for dinner, if he likes. Perfect!
140.2 this morning at 5:00.
Okay, Halloween it is, Paula. I'll do my best. Junk to be put away after walk this morning. Doc put me on Prednizone. 60 mg for four days...40 mg for four days...20 mg for four days. We'll see what happens. The explanation of the drug and what it will do to you says ...may cause weight loss...I said YAY!!! Then at the bottom of the page...may cause weight gain...so I might just stay the same???
Sorry, gotta go walk w/DH now. Back later.
Chris0 -
141.0 at 5:00 a.m. ugh...peppermint war going on.
We have Bean for two more days. The kids went to Reno to see friends. Walking now...
Chris0 -
Bean'll make you earn that peppermint Chris, at least what's left after you take the rest and dig a big hole and bury it in the backyard! Better with the gopher than on the hips, I always say! :laugh:
160.00 yesterday, was still on the brink.
159.5 today OMG!
paula1 -
Chris taste can be off because of meds. How sad. I will flip you for Paula's purple dragon. So cute.....We have been getting lots of use out of the wheel chair.
Paula Halloween is a great idea for a deadline. 140's it is then. I am in!
Watched the hot air balloons going over the park today. My mom loved it. My week vacation is up already. But we had fun. Walked with DD's family today. My poor Sanara might be having pins put in her ankle. Her bones are separating! It started hurting a year or so ago. She has been to several doctors. She was a different orthopedic doctor Friday and he looked at her X-Ray and ordered one of her other foot to compare them. He pointed out the problem right off. Ordered an MRI. Crossing my fingers for a full recovery.
I did not weigh in this morning. Got up early to shower to watch the balloons. I will tomorrow.
Shelley0 -
Good luck and best wishes for Sanara, Shelley!
paula0 -
159.0 this morning.
paula1 -
Oh, I hope Sanara gets a good report. Pins in ankles doesn't sound like fun to me.
Way to go, Paula!
141.6 this morning at 5:00... blaming it on the meds.
Took Bean to the new dog park. Lots of pups there. Some moved too fast for him. One pretty brindle girl pup took a liking to him and wanted to play. Bean doesn't know how to play with other puppies. He's never had other pups to play with. He will learn. We'll take him and Ronan there a lot when we start watching them again. I was more nervous than Bean.
Chris1 -
Paula thanks. I hope for good news. She has no clue how she injured it. Congratulations on your downward trend.
Chris pine do sound horrid.
I love dog parks. They are a social being. Bean will do fine.
So did not weigh in this morning. DD stopped in early and I totally forgot about everything.
Poured stones this morning.
Shelley0 -
136.6 this am so maintained. I will set my goal for 139 by Halloween, as I am inspired by you dear ladies.
And I want a purple dragon too although he and Molly the cat might have issues.1 -
141.0 this morning at 5:00. A little better. Removed peppermint from cupboard to trash can. Hoping I don't have to make any long car trips.
Emailed both docs this morning about what's going on. No answer yet. We'll just see what they have to say.
Walked this morning. Back feels a bit better. Workout w/trainer in a bit. Doc wrote out my symptoms for her so she can research what to do/not do for me.
Chris

Glad you felt a little better today, Chris.
Clara/Shell/Chris - there is only one baby dragon, you are going to need to share, sorry.
148.0 for me this morning, heading into uncharted territory

Nice going, Paula!! I like your chart!
Now, I don't know if this is believable, yet...but...138.4 this morning at 5:00!!! Down 2.6? Never happens...Up 2.6? YES!! but never down that much these days. We'll just see what happens...for now? a happy dance! Sometimes I love my scale!!
No walking this morning. We were going to try for 4:30 to 6:00 because we have a 6:45 R&B p/u, but I had a horrid night. The doc is suggesting intra articular cortisone injections. Looks like the next step, since the prednisone isn't working. Next step, please...
Chris1 -
OMG, Chris, I'm so sorry for what you're going through! I hope they can fix it!!!!!0
-
Chris that is so out of my realm of experience. But like Paula, I hope it gets better. ASAP! I am trying to find the original challenge that we had for the March No nonsense one. If you have a copy still I could use it my friend.
I love the graph also Paula. Wish I was that talented.
Clara so glad you are in this with us.
148.8 This morning. Tough with my mom visiting. All we want to do is visit and snack!
Shelley0 -
Shell & Chris, The graph is on MFP, just click on Reports and there it is.
149 this morning - I've buckled down and made myself eat more. I was operating with an empty tank.
paula1 -
140.8 at 3:30 this morning. Tra laa, traa laa...138.4 disappeared in the bag of peppermint and salad toppers!
3:30 a.m. is wake up time for the rest of the week if we want to get our walk in. Might hit 100 degrees again today. Yesterday was soooo hot!
Chris0 -
Paula I have seen the graph. But you post it for us to enjoy! That is what I like.
Chris it is hot here also. My poor flowers. I hope that peppermint is gone now. I am not really good this month. Mom is visiting and hubby is trying to fatten us both up! And ice-cream is so good when it is hot. Must exercise it off!

I love vanilla ice cream w/raspberries or just about any fruit smashed into it. Peppermint gone now...again. Ya gotta love the hubby in the kitchen. I pulled two of the flower pots under the back patio. They still get plenty of sun but it's filtered part of the time.
Workout in 15...back later.
Chris
