    Really warm here today. Put the horses out in the back pasture since there is more shade back there. Goats have a nice shady spot already. Doctor reduced the H2 blocker that I take for reflux by 75% and I am having really nasty rebound reflux. I feel sick if I eat and if I don't eat and my throat is really sore. I think I will message her and see if we can do this in a more gradual way because this is not fun.

    Allie - Your cape trip sounds like fun.

    Glad some of you are getting rain.

    Rye - Love the picture.

    Everyone take care, Sue in WA

    Kayla wearing good shoes with support also makes a difference too for your legs. See if that makes a difference too. I too forgot bananas are helpful. I eat mine at breakfast too. They are also helpful if you eat before bed.

    THANK YOU!!! Yes, I shouted that! I am thankful for all the suggestions. Lack of water and more alcohol probably are the most likely causes. I have had lots of water today. I had a banana with breakfast (I forgot about that and need to log it) Done, still under calories, so all is good. As for sodium level, I do tend to eat less sodium, but being on vacation means eating out lots, I have actually been over. Not ruling that out though. Milk-YUCK- Not sure how anyone can drink it...my favorite is frozen-hehe! Even that is occasionally as my belly doesn't like it. I will keep in mind though.

    Walked 5.5 miles with 161 active minutes! Yay! have a couple of tender spots on feet, but wore sandals to dinner. Different tennis shoes tomorrow as heading into Gatlinburg with friends. Had a nasty storm come through this evening. The wind and thunder were starting as we headed down the mountain. My truck got hit with a few nuts falling from trees. Made it to dinner before it started raining. Was done raining about the time we finished dinner. Lots of tree debris on road heading back up mountain. Apparently it was bad up here. Found that the power had gone out while we were gone. Found the door mat about 20 feet from the door. Everything calm and cool now.

    Lots of prayers for healing! Sending them!
    Husband whining that I am on computer. Guess I will call it a night!

    Oh, Ginger.....try a gratitude journal...several ladies have them....somedays it may be that you are just grateful that you didn't kill someone ;) other days it will be the sun rising. We are all here for you!

    Lol my Grandmother hated milk. So do I. I eat mine frozen too. She sucked it up when her legs hurt though and drank it.

    Thank Kylia. I actually had “journal blessings” as a Sep goal - then decided to not make it a goal - just work on doing it as part of my nightly routine. Keeping it short.

    Valuer coming between 8 and 8.30, so, unusually, we have our clothes on. I usually do my exercises in the vest and knickers that I wear in bed. He should be quick as it's just for a mortgage, not a buildings survey.
    Grrrrrrrrrr! Still had to get up early and make sure things are ship shape. Yesterday we spruced up the yard and outside paintwork, patio etc.

    Feeling blech today. Not sure if I've got the flu or if it that time of the month which decided to make a reappearance. :angry:

    Did get a brisk 6.1 km walk in to the Botanical Gardens and back.

    Did not eat lunch. I wanted to buy lunch today, and walked into my favourite place ... stood there a couple minutes ... and walked out again. My stomach said, "Nope!"

    Thank you again for all your suggestions. Really pushed the water yesterday, downside, up twice to go pee, but no leg cramps, so right back to sleep!!!! I know that my body adjusts to the water in a couple of days. Will try to drink more in the morning today. Enjoying God's sunrise this morning! Birds singing. It is a gorgeous day!

    Have a blessed day!

    Thank you Barbie for starting us off again this month! I am so glad you are making some small amount of progress. My prayers continue for your continued progress.

    On the surface it looks like I had a great August. I did close all the rings on my watch each day and I did earn my special September badge on my watch. However, I lost .2 lbs which put me at a new low, which is too low.

    My goals for September are the same, close all the rings on my watch every day, earn my special watch badge again this month and gain a couple of pounds.

    Hi everyone, Happy September!
    Thank you for your inspiration and insights shared throughout the month.
    August was a bit challenging but filled with fun. Did okay on my goals - sleep averaged 4h 20min, water 72oz, steps 7600, declutter 3 drop offs but not going to paint...maybe in Nov.

    Taking on a job change, stressed out, letting myself slip into poor choices. On an up note - for my interview fit into slacks that didn't fit in June. So # on the scale aside there is a good shift going on with my body.

    Sept goals -
    Daily 6hrs sleep,10k steps, 96oz H2O
    Keep up Decluttering.
    Mind the shopping cart
    Log every bite.
    Be present in each moment.

    5k walk coming up Sunday 9/9 for Alzheimer's assoc in Vancouver WA

    7/1 187lb - 8/1 183.2 - 9/1 @ 181.4

    Have a good day

    Milk :sick: Mama made me drink a glass with every meal. Often it came right back up. No one knew from lactase deficiency back in the day. Never had that problem with the frozen stuff, but had to be within steps of the bathroom afterwards... :)

    Time to pack, ttyl.

    Ladies - Please pray for Louis, he is having a colonoscopy today at Noon-thirty. Both sons have said they are worried about them finding something. I hope that doesn't happen.

    My son, Trey, has started Zoloft and isn't nearly as 'angry' as he has been for several years. His wife, Jenn, has been put on a 'mood' stabilizing med; hopefully she will continue taking it. The PA has called her twice to check on her. Apparently, she voiced her up and down moods. I hope she does not go off it; but, I never asked for her to be a friend on Facebook; but, I was told that she has posted 'negative' things about me and that hasn't changed. Will, Tami, and Mallory have all be 'stressed' by Wills failure to talk to Tami about whatever is 'stressing' him. He's never had a mortgage; he's always been provided with a trailer to live in; he makes good money; but, has gotten tired of his bosses 'thinking' he should be there 24/7. Sometimes he stays with Tami, other times she stays at his place. But, that means she 'has' to drive into town. She and her 'ex' has been a 'dick-head' about child support and paying it 'late' and sometimes 'only' if she has demanded that he pay it [because she and Will want to go out to eat]. I am not sure if part of what is troubling Will might be his job; of it he is irritated with Tami because her 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is 'not big enough when he is out there' Normally, when she has only 2 days with Mallory, she stays in town. They have split custody (each have her 1/2 of the year. It is bad because he wants it to be kept the same unless it is more convenient for him. Tami has allowed Mallory to stay with him for a week because they usually go to the beach right before school starts. They have only been here once since they married in 2015; and, that time she said that he could not have her because she was taking her to Georgia because they have family here. He does not like Will; and vice versa. But, they do speak to one another 'if' they have to.

    Will was in a really bad mood when we went out there the week his birthday falls in; but, now we have decided that it would be best if we moved it earlier in August. We also have asked if it would be convenient with them to come back in approximately 6 months. Seeing him only once a year just doesn't cut it. He said we could come any time we wanted to. He got more irritated when Louis said something about Jenn and told him they will never come back to Georgia because of her jealousy of Tami and how she treats her. Trey has now taken the position that he doesn't understand why we just cannot get along. I was happy that he 'finally' put me 'outside of any argument' she starts. If she is 'ugly' to me; and, we are outside - I will just walk back into the house. If we are in our house I might react or say something about it. I've never said anything 'negative' to her in her home. But, after she supposedly 'smoothed things over' with Will and Tami, she wrote me an email dredging up old 'hurts' and that 'we did not think she was good enough for Trey. I've never said that - I 'love' her because she is the woman Trey fell in love with; but, she isn't very 'likeable' and I did not respond to the email. But, she still compares herself to Tami, and whenever we go out there, or sometimes right before we go - she'll make some kind of random snarky remark. This last time, at Emilee's pool party for her birthday; she got in the pool and said, "I know I don't look as good as Tami would look in a bathing suit. Louis and I were 'surprised' and I guess we did not respond because 'it was petty'. She posted on Facebook after Will and Tami had come here, that 'she wished she could know out the knees of every thin/skinny person. While I have 'deactivated' my FB account - mostly because of my sister's constant remarks about 'how stupid who only watch Fox News must be stupid'.

    No more about them. I just hope that Will and Tami will talk about what is troubling Will. He voiced his opinion about being called while he was in 'church'; but, left because one of his bosses had gotten stuck. Another time one of them cut out the back strap and left the deer right there in the woods. He was 'livid' and said all he had to do was bring it to the cooler and he would have gutted it and put the meat in the freezer to take to a processor if he did not want it. The boss finally apologized to Will about 5 days later. When they come down, Will cleans their house and trailers and makes sure the carts and washed and fills them up. I think he is beginning to think all they now see is 'him being the hired help'. He did not want to talk about anything and you'd have to be able to clean shell-fish to get him to talk.

    The robo-calls have started again. Dangme, it I hate them. Last night we binged watched the last 1/2 of "Yellowstone" with Kevin Costner as the main character. I hope it is renewed next season. I need to delete some of the movies and shows I have saved to make more room for others I want to save.

    Thank you ladies for listening to me

    Lenora
