    This is a video of the science behind weight loss. 17 minutes and it quit a couple of times so you might have to reload it.

    I think I've figured out the cause of my stiff knee. This afternoon I fell asleep and slept like a log for an hour and a half. I heard that Bea had a high temperature on Friday, but recovered quickly after a long nap. I felt really off this morning with no motivation to do anything.
    So, my self diagnosis is that I was fighting off a virus which went to my weakest spot - my knee and other joints. DH has had tummy trouble, as has my son and DDIL. I am feeling a lot better this evening though quite bloated and windy.
    I hope my knee will be recovered by tomorrow and I can resume running. This under the weather/virus thing has happened before with my joints, but my knee has been a trial since I was 15.

    That happens to me when I get sick. It goes right into whatever joint(s) have been bothering me.

    I posted something the other day and now don’t see it here! Trying to catch up. On pg 20 now.

    It’s in the Nutrition area on the phone app. Click on Macros.

    Click <More> then <Nutrition> then <Macros> and you get a pie chart for carbs/protein/fat

    Vince bought me an early Christmas gift (because it was on sale 20% off) – a cabinet for my DVD’s. I almost completely filled it….lol

    Hey Sue – welcome! And welcome to anyone else new

    Rita – you did a good thing by donating blood. So sorry you passed out, tho

    My pie charts are free, too. But I can only get them on my phone

    I hear thunder in the distance. Better go take my shower in case it rains hard

    Suebdew – wonderful pictures. Thanks for sharing

    Snowflake - what a beautiful daughter you have there (and you're not bad, either)

    Did a hour of training games on the Wii. The plan for tomorrow is to do one segment of 10MS Carb Burner DVD then take the extremepump class.

    Connie – So grateful your mom didn’t break anything!

    Rebecca – gee! You didn’t post any pics where you look hideous. What am I missing?

    My girlfriends came yesterday. We had a good time talking. One gal would talk a lot, but I think some of that is loneliness on her part. I get the feeling that she isn’t someone who is adventurous. She’s been in NC now for a couple of months and from what I understand she seems to know only two streets – hers and her daughter’s. Rita got her out and she was amazed to see tall buildings in Greensboro. And to make the trip to Newton, that was something that seemed to be out of her comfort zone. I gotta go see her sometime. Unfortunately, I don’t know her address but I know that Rita does so maybe I’ll email Rita and ask for it.

    Sun is out a bit. I’ll probably go in the pool today. It was rainy off and on yesterday

    No worries, they were pics that my son took, and I never posted them. I just look huge compared to my daughter in law that's small and cute as a button.💖 I just have to be cautious how I stand. It was a straight on photo, I need a bush or somethin!

    Janetr You're welcome! Glad I could help a little. If the WBC is about the same as a year ago, I don't think there is a thing to worry about. xo

    I agree. If it’s staying the same, it just might be typical for you especially after bariatric surgery. My WBC runs around 7.0-7.5. My coworker’s is always around 4.0. My students hate it when they get her slide to count.

    Up to page 22. Forth if July was nice here. Spent the evening with campground friends. Friday went to the Alien Festival at 104 degrees in the afternoon! Donated blood as we were leaving. Walked to the car where I passed out! Scraped both knees and have felt “off” since!

    More later.

    RV Rita

    So sorry you passed out after donating. It’s a super hot day so it’s hard to rehydrate from the heat and donating. I hope you start feeling better soon.

    Couldn't go to sleep, lots of reasons, but almost to the point now where I can try again. Still got the next three days off, so no biggie...

    Put up an antenna to get the local digital channels today and it worked quite well, so "cut the cord" today, as so many people are doing... which is not quite accurate, considering it was satellite TV... :smiley: but got rid of it, thereby saving the equivalent of two mortgage payments a year for TV service. With the antenna, we get a few local stations for local news, and a number of PBS stations. We also already have Netflix and Amazon Prime, so a nearly unlimited number of shows we want to watch when we choose... Having broadband internet at home is essential for my work, so can't get rid of that, but might as well take advantage of it.

    We bought the satellite system when we were living in the travel trailer, and have used it ever since, so we own the equipment, no leasing or return fees. Was probably half the cost of most satellite service, but even so, nice to be out from under one cost. Might just sell the equipment.

    Feeling sleepy enough that I think I can go back to snoozing. Hope so, anyway...

    Love y'all,

    Good morning all! Happy Monday!
    Suebdew- Love all of the pics and you look fantastic! What fun! You have a family of "secret keepers". Not sure my DH could keep something like that from me.
    NYKaren- Beautiful garden pics! What a great trip you are on!
    Rita- Oh my, 104* AND donating blood?! I am sure I wouldn't have made it out of the donation chair! Please take some time today to take it easy and really hydrate yourself! I am guessing your hubby was with you when you passed out?
    Tracey- Yea! Here comes the bride! And her parents! You look fantastic! The dress I wore for my daughter's wedding was close to that color (a little more golden) and a different style. Can't wait to hear how it all went! I bet you are exhausted!
    Viv- I have run in a couple of Race For Life events. They are a lot of fun and also heartbreaking to see/hear all of the stories. Wow in regards to your mom! That must have scared her! Yup, time for some hearing aids?

    I had a good weekend and got a lot done. I got the bedrooms ready for daughter and her family. We are kind of playing "musical bedrooms". My son, Colin has the biggest bedroom because he originally shared with our oldest son. So...we are putting Lauren, Jaime, Joaquin and Chappie the wonder dog in Colin's room. Then Colin is moving into the guest bedroom. I bought some new bedding for Colin's bed (for daughter's family to use). I think I will pull the mattress pad off my bed and put it on that bed, to give them a little more support. I will also be putting the futon mattress on the floor for Joaquin. He is too big for the pack n play and three in a queen when it is hot, is too much. Lauren said he will sleep fine on the futon, because sometimes they find him sharing Chappie's dog bed.
    I got my flowers that I bought last week planted. Nothing major, just some purple celosia and some corsican mint. I painted the terra cotta planter box a nice slate blue, though. Looks very pretty, now. Oh, I also took pictures of some things that "don't bring me joy". lol I posted them on the local marketplace. All for free. Let's see if I can get rid of it all! Fingers crossed! Bikes and burley are all cleaned up, tires pumped, chains oiled, and ready for the kids to ride. I am borrowing a toddler bike helmet for Joaquin.
    It was also Tim and my 30th wedding anniversary, yesterday. lol It was a busy day for me and he has not been feeling well. So after I cleaned all of the dirt off myself, I took myself to taco bell for dinner. lol Not a healthy choice, but I brought tacos home, Tim was asleep and I sat and watched Grace and Frankie (I am on season 4) until bed time. I just love that show!

    Kids arriving! Last week of care until I am on vacation and my babes are here! Whoot! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

    quick post for now. managed to be under 50 carbs for 1st time yesterday. it's a habit I guess, to develop. I used to eat lots of bananas and carrots...
    now, it's even more soy yogurt, Okara, more fish, more veggies, a smidgen of cheese now that major hay fever season has passed (for me).

    meeting today, well, the board voted all permanent teachers are invited. (I'm a permanent teachers) but the director excludes about 4 of us long-timer's without a reason. his position doesn't override the board's, but he tries. he says that the vote is old (but it was published again last year), and no other vote has taken place since then. he's shady and doesn't hesitate to switch around words (add one here, and subtract one there) to completely change the meeting of words.

    In the week up to May 1 my average weight was 60.53
    In the week up to June 1 my average weight is 59.66
    Week up to July 8 my average weight is 59.46
    so possibly loss of 0.44 lbs in 5 weeks or...simple fluctuation.

    not gaining anyway.

    I had breakfast today at 10 as I didn't feel good and felt really hungry
