Pip - There are days your stats keep ME going, and knowing that, if I want it MOST, I'll be able to do what you do. Well, some of what you do. 'Cuz you're flipping amazing. When your genuine smile pops out in a picture, you shine like a new penny. You deserve the compliments, and you also deserve the success you've found in your health, in how you look, and in your life with the amazing Kirby. You've worked so incredibly hard to get there, and deserve every moment of happiness.
Heather - love the picture of you and your hubby. Have to join the chorus of "I never wear white," for similar reasons. It seems to literally make me clumsier than usual, and I'm clumsy enough.
Weird day - the husband seldom works on weekends... felt like my wheels were spinning without anything happening, although I did get groceries bought.
Love y'all,
Lisa in AR
thanks so much.... u r sweet to say such nice things, all of you are1 -
Well long long day..
First Pip- that I think that is the most opened up I have ever heard you speak . Ans as everyone else said you are just super amazing .. you truly are.. beautiful smile,great body that you work very hard to maintain and a wonderful loving husband that you do very much deserve.. you know I love ya girl....
I cant remember who asked but no my boss not going anywhere he owns the practice
So until I find somethingnor he would actually lay me off I'll keep trucking along. Though I cant stand it..
I went to Tom and Elena's picnic today and helped out..I wanted to be a support for her as she was meeting most of his family for the first time.. I helped get food out and Elena and I got to know each other alot better.. she really is a sweetheart and I was able to fill her in on the background of everyone and who was related to who.
Tom thanked me for helping but felt Elena should have done this with him on there own..
I apologized to Elena saying I was just there for moral support and she she doesnt think she have gotten through it without me.
So I'm glad I was a help somwhere.. did stop to feed DFIL at lunch and he told me to get lost but I shoveled mash potato in ,2 bowls,ice cream,sliver of cheesecake and root beer..lol
Didnt sleep great at night.but I feel I sent a fair and honest email so we shall see.3 -
NY Karen - Lovely photo of Rachel!! What a smile What is Stormking? An art center? Love that serpentine wall as well, wow. Out here in WA State we have Storm King Peak with a fabulous view of Mt. Rainier if I remember right. It's not really a tourist sight. It's one of the highest spots in the county and the radio repeaters sit up there. When I was working for 911 I rode up there with the radio technician in his rickety county pickup. I can't stand heights and it was narrow switchbacks the whole way. Your Stormking looks a bit more civilized.
Heather and all - I'm another who will never wear white. I just bought a yellow polo shirt and wonder how long it will be before I spill something on it that stains . Great photo of you and your DH, glad the weather was nice.
Pip - hey girl, thank you so much for sharing your story (((HUGS))). You have matured into a happy, healthy woman and that's what counts. So neat that other folks (guys in this case) appreciate your hard work and understand what it takes to keep in good shape. And honestly compliment you! I think when Kirby met you, he must have seen today's Pip.
RVRita - great that you can start cutting back on your BP medicine!! Did I read that you are going to see the cardiologist after all? I just looked at your weather report.......too HOT! ARGHH!! We're going to hit the mid-90's tomorrow and Monday. I can look out any window and see plenty of green (evergreens, maples, oaks) so it doesn't seem so bad, and at least its not smoky this year. Do you miss the east coast (weren't you in New England?) during this hot summer?
Ok ladies, better wrap this up. Stay cool. Hugs to all who need them!

I went tubing on the Shenandoah river today. Ate lunch at a BBQ place and spent all my calories. I logged them all and skipped dinner so the damage is not too bad. This pattern seems to work for me- bust my calories then skip a meal. Then stay off the scale for 48 hours. Let's hope the results are worthwhile5

Rita Well done getting off your meds! It's hard to find words to say how impressive that is. You did this.
Katla YAY that Arrow is recovered enough for you to start riding him again. Your llama story is hilarious, I have this picture in my mind of the llama curled up on the couch watching TV. They are crazy observant. I think that must be what makes them so good at guarding sheep.

I have had an unexpectedly wonderful day. At the last minute my supervisor asked me to swap my scheduled shift for one next week, so I had a totally unplanned day off today. It was a gorgeous day weatherwise until it finally got too hot in the afternoon, so I was able to weed the garden & mow the lawn...then my 10 year old granddaughter called up to see if she could spend the afternoon with us. Yes!!!! We cut doggie toenails, bathed 2 doggies, she ate 2 hamburgers (swimmer - burns tons of calories) and said they were among the top 5 burgers she's ever eaten, then she played Garage Band on my iPad while I cleaned up the kitchen. My partner had worked hard (physical work) all morning, so decided to take a nap. Granddaughter asked if I'd take her to see Toy Story 4, so off we went. Such a heartwarming, delightful movie! I loved it so much, and my granddaughter is so dang fun to be with. This has been one of the best days ever! Now I'm home watching TV with my partner & getting caught up with all of you. Happy. Back to the grind in the morning (work) but this day has been a gift.

I’m giving myself a total guilt-free day off today. Zero demands on myself. Vegging on the sofa watching TV. But, I noticed some habits are... habits. I automatically did my usual morning routine to reset our home. Auto pilot? Bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. And I rebooted laundry.
I’m thinking about making a pot of chicken vegetable soup. Cabbage, kale, broccoli, carrots, celery, onion. It just sounds good to me - even though we’re here in a hot Texas August. Maybe because I had such intestinal distress yesterday that I couldn’t sleep last night and was awake until 7am this morning. I think the sauerkraut and sausage didn’t agree with me yesterday. I haven’t eaten anything today. Maybe I’ll make some soup.
Hope you all are doing well today.

This Texas Soldier deserves an award! Saved 11-14kids ages 5-7yrs old out of 45abandoned in the Walmart/Mall shooting that had been abandoned by adults! He wanted to go back for more but cops 👮 took his gun asked him to stay outside.He made multiple trips to get as many as he did.Yet he blames himself for not going back after being disarmed for more! Definitely a Hero that needs to be remembered! What’s wrong with adults now he even said adults he asked to help just ignored or said no kept running! Where were the parents? Sad every video I see anymore 1 person stands up the rest abandon the kids! I’ve taken broken bones y worse to save kids don’t understand why others don’t also! He was carrying holding hands if they slipped he went back ASAP he did a lot in my opinion!

Had a productive day. Got basic Saturday chores in. Got a 20,000 step day in (one of two of my goal for the month). Had a nice dinner of strip steak and green beans. Got caught up on reading here. Too many varied things to comment on tonight. Good to hear about people's medical conditions improving. In March, my blood pressure was starting to trend a bit high (18 lbs, ago). Had a slight headache today so thought I would check blood pressure. 107/66 -back to my normal. Do not want to medications for anything. I know it is the weight and regular exercise. Amazing the difference a relatively small amount of weight loss can make.
Am saddened by events in El Paso today. Too much hate everywhere.3 -

Making some chocolate chip cookies right now for this weekend when Ken & Lynette come over and for the neighborhood party (who knows how many people will be here? Probably not many)
Lanette – that book “always hungry”, is that the book by David Ludwig?
KJ – what your daycare kiddo said to you reminds me of what this one guy who is in my water aerobics class said as we entered the Y at the same time. “So that’s what you look like with your clothes on”….lol
Got back from Jess’ storage unit. Moved things around, what she’s taking to Iowa, what’s staying here and what she needs to go thru. I sweat so much! Think I’ll go in the pool for a bit to cool off
I remember reading a book called “200 Ways to save the Earth” and I realized that my grandmother did practically all of them!
Allie – that was so nice of you to do for Elena. Did Tom think you did too much and should have taken more of a back seat?
