    Heather ~ I loved the pic of you in the long brown hair. That color really looked good on you. I have darkened my blonde hair back to brown. I can't decide if I look older with the dark color or should go back to the blonde. I think what I probably need is a good haircut as my hair has grown longer and looks quite stringy.

    Love all the photos.

    Carol - I like the brown too, but it requires much more upkeep as I am really grey/white now. :'( I can get away with blonde for around 10 weeks.
    Hope you continue to heal beautifully. <3

    Did a Slim in Six DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to use a rowing machine.

    Tracey – the problem with glue is that it’s permanent. We will need to take the stake out of his hand to store it in the winter. I don’t have a problem with the diamond dotz as far as seeing them. I do like to have good lighting since the markings of where you are to put the diamonds is small

    Scrubbed the wall of the spa today. Church to lector tonight

    Kim – welcome! You’re on your way!

    Maryann – welcome baby!

    Stephanie – welcome! I never add in my exercise calories, but lots of people do.

    :)Stephanie, I lost over 50 pounds with the help of MFP and the women on this thread. I have maintained that loss for several years. At first I didn't eat my exercise calories until the day that I came back from a two hour walk feeling dizzy and faint and a healthy snack made me feel better. I am much more active than most people and if I didn't eat more than others, I wouldn't have the energy to do what I do. Depending on how active I am, I eat 1800-2000 calories a day. When I was recovering from a back injury and spent a lot of time lying down, I kept my calories between 1200 and 1400. I have a pedometer that doesn't sync with MFP but counting steps is motivating to me. I hope you will keep coming back.

    Beth and Lanette and all who expressed concern, delighted to report that Scooter's recovery continues. It seems little short of miraculous to us. Ears and tail high, eyes bright, nose shining, champion p and pooper, he even sneaked up the stairs by himself twice.
    Tracey two upcoming interviews? Hooray! And a snap of the fingers to that discouraging career counselor. Take THAT! ;)
    Margaret "Maybe it is for the best I cannot bring forth a Civil Law suit. It puts me in a better position for advocating for a police program that First deescalates. Guns and tasers are only used as a last resort. Police officers must have PTSD too. They are more like soldiers than peace officers today." What a great way to turn the horrific experience to good. Well done!
    Suebdew, Sacramento instead of San Antonion, not so bad, but Guam instead of Alaska?!? WOW!
    Katla Why is she so very angry? Was the work party short handed? Are there skills that only you possess? What happened when you told her that your DH had a bad spell, that he has to come first and that you were sorry you couldn’t attend? If she's a real friend, she'll understand that your DH is your priority. It's not like you were trying to shirk the work. Barbie's "be prepared for her to stay angry" insight may be spot on.
    pip you are SUCH a hottie!

    Welcome Kim, let us know your general locale so we can keep you straight in our minds. ;)
    Welcome Marianne from Norway and Canada.
    Welcome Stephanie, I use a Wahoo HRM, and it's app on my iphone links with Apple's health app, and from there it feeds into mfp. Most of the gals here eat back some but not all of their exercise calories. Brava for teaching Zumba despite your fibromyalgic pain.

    Just skimmin and too sleepy to chat more or share the miracle of the bookshelves. Hugs to all (Thanks Rebecca!)

    Lighter, lovelies!

    Sunny day here for Good Friday, still quite a cold wind though. I wouldn't mind going to the sea side this week end but as it is Easter the roads will be very busy with everyone in "holiday mode" , so might leave it a few weeks. B)

    I went to see Sound of Music last night at the Grand Opera House, the singing was beautiful (like being in church) the children were very talented, they remembered all the movements for the songs and didn't put a foot wrong. It was a lovely night. :)

    Not much planned for today, the usual tidy up etc. I might ask DS to take me to a garden centre to see if I can get some plants for the garden. We've had part of the front garden tarmaced to extend the driveway so DS and DD can get their cars off the street. It doesn't look good though, wish I'd held out and saved a bit more for either paving or the blocked brickwork drives, but it's done now. I'd like to add some plants or get some nice pots to put near the doorway and under the window to brighten it up a bit.

    I also need to pop over with dad's newspaper some time this morning and check on them both. Dad is looking very frail now, he's not eating or drinking much, I'm surprised he can still stand and get out of bed to use the bathroom, but so far he is managing.

    Better get a move on, I didn't exercise yesterday, so definitely need to do some today.

    Happy Easter to those who celebrate it.

    Love to all
    Viv UK <3

    Good Morning ladies~ we used to have Good Friday off.. but the almighty dollar takes precidense(sp) for the good Drs.Anyway will go feed my DFIL dont have to walk the boys today as Elena has the day off from work.
    Tom safely got down to Florida and will be there for a week, closing it up for the summer.. even though he wasn't a fantastic husband.he is a hard worker like his father was..
    Well until they get someone else in I will be back working Saterdays boo... but alas its a job and he is upping my hours until they find someone.. and then even though I have been there longer he will cut my hours again..
    Like I said though everything happens for a reason and I believe that.. so for now I do what is needed ,and that is feeding my DFIL..he is basically down to eating one meal a day.. and not drinking much, sleeping all the time.such a sad quality of life...
    tomorrow is supposed to be really rainy but taking my DGD to my friends house to color Easter eggs and which means I have to pick up some eggs tonight and hard boil them...and then she does an easter egg hunt for the kids..and the teenagers get into it too..
    then home will feed DFIL in and and at Dinner then Easter Sunday will feed him all 3 meals , will end up having Easter dinner with him... hopefully something Keto friendly
