Good morning all! Happy Monday! Happy Canada Day to all of our Canadian gals!
Allie- Happy belated birthday!
Barbie- Thank you for bringing us into another month!
Well, I am down to 230! lol I feel like have been a constant yo-yo between 226 and 240 since I began my journey on mfp. But down is good. I just need to continue on the downward slope.
My goals for the month of July: I have one goal.
**Keep the alcohol to a minimum. Let's see ...define minimum...how about one drink/week. Not one bottle of wine per week, or one drink/day. I have my vacation week coming up this month, as well as taking a day and a half off to go to the ELO concert with my sister (visiting from FL). SO. ONE. DRINK. PER. WEEK. Period. Oh geez! I forgot about the fourth of July gathering at my brother in law's house! Hoo-boy! Parties at their house is like open bar on a cruise ship (except free). They entertain a LOT, so they have every kind of drink imaginable. Well, that will be my one drink for this week, then I will have to fake them out with juice/tonic water.
I am now 13 days away from seeing Joaquin! Eeek! So excited! The yard will need one more mowing before they arrive (so that I don't need to do it while they are here). And I will need to keep up with the flower beds so that I don't need to spend a lot of time on those, either. This week I will be power washing the house, taking pics of some items and putting them up on Marketplace, I also need to borrow my bil's chainsaw and trim a couple of trees in the back, so I can set up the play house under the big pine. Trimming trees means a fire; but maybe I will save that for when my daughter is here, so Joaquin can experience a fire and s'mores!
I have my red, white, and blue streamers and flags up in the house. It will stay decorated for the week, as our theme is Explore Patriotic (Where I live). They will be learning about our city, state, country this week. I have the sprinkler and two kiddie pools set up. One of my daycare mommies found me a triplet stroller! So...she is bringing that to me this morning! New Wheels! Whoot!
Kids arriving! Gotta fly! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

Thanks for helping me get July off to a great start! I've been doing small daily goals and it's been working for me. I need to focus on 2 things. 1st is to get more active. Stop sitting at the computer and put down the boo once in a while and WALK! 2nd is that I definitely need to drink more water to flush the toxins. Keep up the inspirations!

Thank you Barbie for getting us off to a fresh start/fresh month!
Allie - Happy Belated Birthday!
Barbara AHMOD - Look at those cute little bears! Sure hope the bleach/pepper spray plan works out. I guess Joe is all better from his pneumonia?
Katla - enjoy your hopefully quiet few days away from the Washington boomers. If the folks who think its fun to make noise actually spent any time in a real war zone, they might not enjoy it so much. My DH would tense up and get flashbacks to Vietnam for years, especially when he'd hear the whistling "incoming". Thankfully he's over that now and it's just the dog who freaks. So far it hasn't been too bad in our neighborhood.
Pip - so glad you were able to be with Bullwinkle when she passed, and that she was at home, peaceful. We should all be so lucky when it's our time.
Rebecca - I heard someone say alcoholism is cunning. I'm a huge fan of a 12 step program, but your sis will have to work the plan. I once had a boss who did the 30 meetings in 30 days years ago, then once or twice weekly meetings ever since. He's been sober for decades. Good idea letting your sons work out the travel to Vancouver logistics. Nice that they want you to come back and visit.
Machka - I love hearing about your coming chilly weather. Takes our minds off the sauna/steambath in many parts of the USA this week. Bummer about the burst pipe- great your DH was home and able to mop up the water. Crossing fingers your doc appointment turns out well. When Rodgers & Hammerstein wrote "I Enjoy Being a Girl" I don't think they were considering our troublesome lady parts.
Heather - I always enjoy the activities/dancing/shopping you are able to participate in now that you've moved to where the action is. What fun to see your DH doing so many things with you. Hope the plumber gets the radiator fixed up. We watched a presentation on TV yesterday about Stonehenge. Have you been there?
NY Karen - is Rachel home for the summer? Glad to hear you are doing so well!
Beth - and glad to hear YOU are doing so well also! I would gladly share some of my extra with my skinny husband too.
Ok ladies... make it a great Monday!

Hi Mary, Those are great things to focus on. I have a pedometer so I feel like I'm "getting credit" for walking because I see the numbers go up. Also I found out how to listen to audio books on my smart phone so I can enjoy a book and a walk at the same time. Drinking water was a tough goal for me and I've had to drink water in the same spirit as talking prescribed medicine. Barbie in NW WA 6 -

There have been many times I've not been all that keen on being a girl.
I'm sitting here all wrapped up in my heavy dressing gown and sheepskin slippers with earbuds in, listening to Jazz and trying to drown out the powerful and noisy fan that is drying out the carpet and cupboards. It has to be on all night (and the window has to be open all night too!) but fortunately we can close off the back of the house so that it will be warmer and quieter there. Also it is only supposed to go down to 8C tonight ... not bad, thank goodness!
But it could have been a lot worse if it happened at the beginning of a weekend we were away!!

@Machka9 wow that sounds like an adventure with the pipes.good you were able to go out for a bite.1

I feel quite off today. I was dragging and a bit sore, so went to café for an espresso and to read the paper to kickstart the day. I bought some new fair trade chocolate at the supermarket and had about 65 g!!, plus I ate a package of corncake (like rice cakes but corn). then felt off and uneasy and watched videos online and fell asleep.
not sure what's up - whether it's the physical influencing the psychological or visa-versa or both.
im worried. I feel discouraged.5 -
Good morning Ladies.....yes we are celebrating our great country today CANADA and i am very proud and glad I am a Canadian. It's a gorgeous day today here on the shores of Lake Ontario so a great start to July. I haven't posted much in fact since Feb. ...but have been following everyones' troubles and joys. The last time I posted we were in Myrtle Beach. It was great to be able to walk as our winter was a nasty one and as I walk with a walker exercising was down to standstill. I was able to build up some stamina walking on the beach and that has helped as I am able to walk for a longer period of time since then. Now I have a new issue as 5 yrs ago I had gotten a horrible flu/virus that scarred the cornea of my right eye so had a partial cornea replacement but just for the scarred area. In Feb. the day before we were leaving Myrtle beach the eye started to blur...got home..went to specialist...guess what....after 3 years the eye has decided to reject the transplant. So after 4 months still waiting for area to heal so he can do another transplant but this time it will be a full eye transplant. So...such is life...finish with one thing and something else takes it's place. The good news is I have lost 21 lbs since starting here (Oct.2018) the process has been very slow but what I have lost.... has stayed off. Logging my food on MFP is now second nature and I whip out that food scale as easily as I take out cutlery. I keep my carbs as low as I can (usually around 100 gms.) and it's been good. Had a 3 month stall on any loss but it's starting again now that I move around more.... I am just proud that have kept up the eating and logging. We have a new Doctor now and saw him just to introduce myself and he noticed I've lost the weight from his charts and he said it would be the best thing for my back issues so that gives me greater incentive to keep going. Have any of you had long stalls???? What did you do to get going again? My other question is ...do you ladies drink a lot of water and what is a good "daily" amount? I haven't been diligent with the water as I have bladder issues. I drank more water when I started but was getting up so often during the night that even the pills I take for my "nervous" bladder weren't working nor was I getting a good sleep...so I've cut it to 4 or 5 cups which includes coffee and try not to drink after 9 pm. BUT I have read that plenty of water drinking is essential so maybe this is part of the stall I've had. I would love to hear what your experience is on this. Anyways that's it for today. In 4 days the ladies in the USA celebrate their country's birthday so have a enjoyable day then.... as we are today in Canada. Mary from Ontario, Canada4

Mary OC- I’ve had a detached bladder for 20 years recently stitched 🧵 it while doing the Csection but said it would probably detach again. I have a water bottle with the amount measurements on it or use a regular bottle of water with amount at bottom refill it so I know the water measurements then drink it at night the other during the day. I get up a lot at night no matter what I do so just keeping hydrated going as needed. Excersise it they said but they didn’t know it was detached! Wasn’t the muscles it was the pee sac! So I just live with it if bosses got mad cause I had to go I go anyways. I found time not getting bladder infections for them already tried that y my paycheck wasn’t enough to cover medical y medicines for holding it too long!
Medicine I chose not to luckily because it wasn’t the muscle for me. Relative uses medicine but theirs is the muscle! Detached bladder was from giving birth many have this never know it. I do sip water at night instead of drinking it cause of dry throat y mouth issues.Hubby knows so we stop as needed after the surgery I find I can drive 1hour with no bathroom trips before was Every 30min we stopped cause of the trucks bouncing on the road.

You might have a allergy to corn. Watch what happens when you eat it. Look at labels too it is sometimes hidden in processed foods.1 -
Ok I wrote my goals out, took a photo of it, its official y'all!
Mailing 3 letters out today to my own pals. Each one 4+ pages. I was a chatty thing! Its always nice to read other people's life stories. One had written that she liked to collect coins so I sent her one. Its not in the best condition, so it isn't worth much. I know she will enjoy it more than I am. I am like that with stuff. If I have a cool item, I sometimes sell it, because I think it needs to travel.👍

Barbie: Thank you for the new thread!!!
Rebecca: Are you the baby of the family? I think I remember that. It seems like you’re the strong and smart one. I hope your sister keeps trying to improve her own life until she makes it. I hope the surgery is a success. :flowerforyou:
Margaret & Amber: Raccoons decided to move underneath our house a few years ago. They tore apart our heating ducts, tore down our insulation under the house and made an awful mess. Luckily for us, our homeowners insurance covered the repairs. The mitigation company took months to finally finish. We put heavy duty metal grates over all of our vents. No raccoons will get in again. We do have to police the area underneath our deck. I staple mothball bags under there during the winter season. That smell drives just about anything away.:noway:
(((Pip))) Old dogs are an absolute treasure. Yours was lucky to have you and Kirby to keep her comfortable as long as possible. My heart aches for your loss. We also have an old dog, and he is getting by with love, pain medication and cbd oil. We’ll support him as long as possible. I hope we can do as well by our old guy as you did for Bullwinkle. 
Thanks to everyone for the kind words about our escape from the war zone at home to the nice and peaceful county park away from the river. I will be logging every bite and swallow on my phone, but the opportunity for internet connection is low. I can post to the list and keep my food logs on my phone. I’ll be thinking of all of you and will post here if I get the chance.

Kelly you’ve got this! Having a great visit to look forward to will help you stay focused on your mission. Just remember all the great benefits from going AF or being close to AF will bring you.
I think I was channeling you Kelly, you accomplish so much in so little time. While the workers were installing replacements windows, I scrubbed the bathroom clean, cleaned out the fridge, mowed the back yard and really cleared out some annoying ivy/ weed growth—whew!! And it’s only lunch time! New windows look great so we’re off to buy some paint supplies to paint trim white.
Very blessed to have 6-weeks with Rachel before she heads back to senior year of college.

Yep Katla, I am the baby.😁. My eldest sister, she's 64, she and I have a good relationship. She and her husband live in Great Falls Montana. Out in the middle of nowhere! She sends me pics of dead snakes she shoots with her shotgun. Such a daring gal!
This was the last we visited each other in 2017.
