    Morning all!
    Waiting for DH to leave the house to meet his daughter. She didn't catch the earlier train, but I'm hoping she'll get the next one. Messing up his day. Grrrrrrrrrr! But he loves her, so ......

    I'm taking down the Christmas decs. Good feeling.
    I hope I can get to see the grandkids maybe tomorrow, but I'm aware that they are starting back at school and DDIL may be frazzled.
    Next week is busy with carpet layers, handyman, friends visiting and dinner party for my son and DDIL. I am still working on the menu.
    I'm aware that I am not writing much at the moment and need to change that. :s I finally admitted my frustration to DH this morning and he seemed to understand. <3 I still have decisions to make. Might talk to DDIL.

    Lots of love to all the new people and my condolences to the lady who lost her family members so recently. Terrible blows.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    I've started logging my food again. I went way over calories yesterday, managed to claw a few back from exercise, but I need to start eating smarter :) Well that's one way of putting it, but basically I need to stop being such a pig!!

    Heather I tried your way of running (shuffling ;) ) yesterday when taking the dog for a quick walk around the block. I must admit Leah did not pull so much if she thought I was going a bit faster. I didn't think/feel as if I was running, just a sort of bouncy walk. I did it for about 50 steps then walked a bit then shuffled again. I'm going to try doing it again when I take her out in about half an hour.

    I watched the Greatest Showman yesterday and I quite enjoyed it, loved the songs. I do enjoy a good musical and like to sing (?) along :p

    Been to see Dad this morning, he's a bit sleepy today, but he said he'd get up later. Left him reading his papers in bed.

    Well I'd better take the clean washing upstairs to be put away, then get Leah walked - I wish she would do her business in the garden, but for some reason she won't 'go' there, it would be so much easier if she was like our other dogs and 'go' in the garden, but she would rather burst!

    Hugs to all who need them <3

    Good Saturday Morning from not raining right now Ohio.

    My proud moment this morning was that I got something healthy to eat instead of the chocolate chip cookies on the counter! They would have been faster, but the cottage cheese, pears, and granola did hit the spot.

    Viv UK I LOVE musicals! And yes, I have seen a bunch and tend to sing along too! Good thing I am generally by myself when I watch. Great job on exercising to counter calories! I heard or read somewhere the other day that we should think of how long we have to work to pay for something. So like dinner out- Did I work an hour to pay for that....that type of thing. I think the same could be done with our thinking on food. If I eat this...how much more do I need to exercise? Just an idea. And yes, Logging is a must. I have to see it to be aware.

    Machka As soon as you started describing your symptoms, I knew what happened. While it doesn't happen as often these days, it is scary to get that sugar level that low. I am no where near as active as you, but have challenges with too low of sugar levels. Sometimes it is different foods that will drop it. I know that artificial sweeteners drop mine super fast. Something in Wendy's burger buns does the same thing. I try to be aware of that. Once while plowing snow, I was sitting at the shop trying to total bills, when all of a sudden I couldn't see. Just lots of black circles. My MIL told me to eat, I told her I wasn't hungry, she told me to eat or she was shoving the pizza down my throat! Love that lady! Anyway, I was running on Mountain Dew and no sleep. About 15 mins after eating a small amount of pizza I was better. This has been years ago but I still try to recognize the feed me signals before it reaches that point. Man, I haven't had a soda in 9 years and haven't plowed in 4. Time going fast!

    No updates yet on Aubrey this morning. Prayers continuing. I know she is on a long road so hugs and prayers is all I can do.

    Positive self talk I think will be what I work on this week. Focusing on good choices. Too many negatives around. There needs to be more positive energy from myself.

    Cari Great job on getting the bike out! What a great loss goal met as well!

    Micheller     That is scary! My husband just kept saying he felt strange. His family dr kept putting it off as anxiety for over 2 years. When he started dropping weight and I kept insisting it was something else,then the doctor sent him to the heart doctor. After wearing the halter monitor for a month it was as clear as a blue sky. DH has been on Multaq and Eliquis for two years now and it seems to be working. Yes, during the monitor wearing his heart was beating over 150 beats per minute for over 8 hours. No wonder he was eating everything under the sun and still losing. I hope the ablations and your new thought process help you.

    I better get ready for work! Lots to do!

    Have a Blessed Day! Learn something new. Make the best choices you can at the moment. And SMILE at a stranger. You just might be the only smile they see today!

    Good morning all! Happy Saturday! Trentin will be arriving at 9 this morning and will be with me until 11:30pm. I asked his mom to leave his booster seat so that he can do the shopping with me. We'll see how that goes. lol We are also going to stop at the library. He has been there with me and likes to play games on the library computers while I get the books that I need.
    Machka- So sorry to hear about your grandmother. Beautiful pictures of a beautiful person! And the longevity in your family! Wow! I am envious. I knew my grandparents, but I wasn't close with any of them. Two (maternal) were alcoholics; not mean or abusive, just inattentive and selfish. My other grandmother (paternal) was far away, so I didn't see her often, and she was somewhat undemonstrative with affection.
    Pip- I am a pickle juice drinker. I have been since I was a child. Love that taste. Weird, but I have never had major leg cramp problems. The soap thing under the sheets mystifies me.
    Kylia- Happy that baby Aubrey is doing better. I will continue to keep her in my thoughts and prayers.
    Yvonne- Oh, how I have missed your daily "holiday" postings! lol Many of them I know about, due to the fact that I have to make daycare calendars and check a daily holiday website to do this. BUT many of the holidays don't make it onto my daycare calendar, so your posts remind me of those! So much fun!
    Heather- Your sil sounds like a woman after my own heart! She found sparkly shoes! lol I don't own a pair, but just a month or two ago, one of my daycare girls showed up with sparkly loafer style shoes, and I decided I need to get myself a pair. B)
    Keto and fasting- I am not sure if Keto is the way for me to go. I am currently on a higher protein, moderate carb, low fat plan. I lean a bit more towards a vegetarian lifestyle. As far as fasting goes, I fast from 7pm-7am. Some days even that is difficult now that many of my workdays are from 6:30am-11:30pm. So...if I need something after 7pm, I try to limit it to veggies.
    Well, I better scoot! Almost time for Trentin to arrive and I need to get my shopping bags and list, etc. together. Love to all you ladies and all of the new members as well! Welcome! <3 ttfn xoxoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

    I am up and having my tea,work this morning and then my sons birthday party... he is 34 and throwing himself a party... I will buy his Birthday cake for him... very hard going out to dinner... but will try my best to get something that I can tolerate.. down another 4 oz to 206.2 hey 4oz is 4oz and im doing this in baby steps
    I have put my mind to succeed and I shall...

    Allie What restaurant are you going to for your son's birthday? We could look at the menu with you. When I was doing very low carb it really helped to look at the menu ahead of time and decide what I was going to have. Otherwise I would be a little bit anxious about it all day long. <3

    Kelly That Tim. Chewing, clinking, chatting. Outrageous! HAHAHAHA...I feel the same way when I'm trying to feed the dogs in the morning, which involves only about 5 minutes of prep time, & my partner comes in to the kitchen & starts doing all kinds of stuff in my space. She's polite. She keeps saying "excuse me" so I'll move out of her way, LOL!!! She is so oblivious. It's a good thing she has so many other fine qualities.

    :)Allie, At most restaurants you can ask for exactly what you want. They will make substitutions and leave things off. Read through the whole menu and if something is on the menu, you can order it as a side without the sauce or with something extra. Speak up.

    Lanette yes Epson salts are good for muscle soreness. Arnica oil is also good for aches and pain. I used it when my knee was bothering me. On the bottle it recommends you only use it 3-4 times a day max. Arnica oil is used topically DO NOT USE IT orally. I have a spray version of it too. I spray it on and then rub it into the sore knee or muscle. I got mine in of all places a grocery store that has a pharmacy with it. Any pharmacy should carry it. I store the oil bottle in a bathroom roll tube to absorb the excess oil from use, and it also keeps the oil in a dark container. The bottle I bought you can see through the plastic bottle it come in.
