Enjoying all the pictures.
Choir starting. Enjoying the singing. Dividing up tasks to complete getting finances in order. Seems to be helping. Some days the goal is just to get the right forms.
The lawyer we have now is much more helpful than the last one we had. He is catching things that need to be done.Margaret

luci in WNC, i am a Buckeye by birth and raising. Dad had season tickets every year so we spent at least 1-2 Saturday’s in fall with him and mom eating hotdogs and drinking hot chocolate. Great start for my dietary woes later in life. I’m now a Cougar by marriage to my late spouse and by sheer contrariness since most of my friends and neighbors are Huskies fans. However, it’s ever and always “Go Seahawks!” Their games I will watch rarely. Mostly playoffs. I don’t watch sports tv much except the Olympics every other year.
To the rest of my friends - im sorry I’ve been missing so much as of late. Life has been very complicated with the wedding (see earlier pics) and now getting ready for my Mexico trip. I will try to post more regularly. However, I’m proud that I have logged my food every day. To me that’s the keystone to keeping my post-weight loss surgery successful. I’m only 1.8 lbs away from 100 lbs lost. That’s about 45.5 kg, I think. Fingers crossed. There’s lots of great seafood and grain dishes in Oaxaca and vegan food in my second town, Zipolite.

Heather This is the puzzle I did online this morning before work:

Changing seasons, yup. Showery last night and today, maybe the next 2 days. Hoping for dry weather Wednesday so Thursday can give the deck a light second coat and finish painting the rails and uprights. Meanwhile Joe is tidying the wood stove and moving firewood about. I'm resisting, still want some warm weather (sorry to those suffering in the south).
Rebecca a VERy happy anniversary to you and your chief!
Lynda "glutton free" now that's an autocorrect I need!
pip > 50 mph and >2800 ft elevation gain? You are AMAZING!
Carol ditto Katla's advice, could a UTI be causing the misses?
Connie hoping your Mom's migraine eases completely before the next hot spell. 7 hrs in the ER seems a lot to me, but maybe that's about average in big cities?
Debby in VA what a bountiful lot of beautiful food. How large is your farm? How many people does it take to work? This city gal is IMPRESSED!
Julie Neither have we a microwave, I cook frozen entrees (like Lean Cuisine) by popping contents into a lidded pyrex dish and bake in oven or toaster oven at 400 F for 35-40 mins. Wouldn't like double boilered lasagna ;} Likewise I keep a pair of earplugs in my purse for when the music is turned up too high for my taste. Hand't heard about vibration therapy for osteoporosis, keep us updated, ok?
Welcome IntergalatixW why dry skin brushing and a month of voluntary cold showers?
Machka what Michele said... just sayin'. BTW thought of you this morning when I pulled out the "If I am suddenly incapacitated or die" paper from the desk. Yikes needed updating, hadn't touched since April 2018. Added roof loan, corrected some monthly amounts, reprinted. Tomorrow will be a scanning day, important docs including medical records for new MDs. Thank you!
Heather upside down house LOL, especially your DS's position and expression!
Beth, Truth! Thanking you through my tears.
KimGlutton Free Love it!!!
With all types of diets being talked about these days, somebody really should get that printed on a t-shirt and make some moo-la $$$[/b]
Sharon Good to hear from you.the pic, you look so great! ((hugs)) for the grandchild, con VERY grats for the near to 100lbs gone and Safe travels!
Monk drops, yuck. Yes, sweetens both hot and iced tea but don't like the flavor. Makes my tongue "buzz" and gives me a headache. So far the only sweeteners I like are honey (too many calories) and cane or beet sugar. Stevia tastes funny, agave's not sweet enough and maple syrup doesn't belong in tea. The "-itols" are even worse for wind and headache. Foo.
Time to get off my butt, fold laundry, work on Tumble's mats and hang out with Joe. Backing off from the red wine today, AF beer instead!

Pip ... saw this on FaceBook and thought of you. Allie ... saddened to hear that Chester is at his end. You may appreciate this as well.
Lisa ... I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you go even further yet with your $100 million grant!
Debby ... beautiful produce! I love photos of produce! When I get Misfit Market boxes, I take photos of the contents to share with my Mom. She loves to look at beautiful produce as well.
A friend gifted me with a bushel of tomatoes, a gigantic cabbage, swiss chard and zucchini. I've been working at cooking/storing that. Tried a few zucchini recipes, but the only one we really liked was Skinny Taste's Zucchini Tots.
Husband and I got a lot of yard work done this weekend ... still more to go but not quite as daunting. Although we never opened the pool, we still need to pull back the cover and add more chemicals. That will be next week's project.
Over the years you've heard me talk about my basement project ... and I never actually get anywhere with it. This weekend I became determined to move things OUT! And I had my husband's help, believe it or not. We have made a dent.

Hi Everyone,
Cheers to another month. Great to see so many people still writing down their goals. It sure does help me.
Last month my goals were about getting blood work completed and going to the eye doctor to make sure diabetes is not affecting them.
Well, I was able to get all the lab work completed and I am happy to say that I am half a point from getting my diabetes under control- all food and no medication. My doctor was very happy with my results. His suggestion was to keep losing weight and doing what I'm doing. I was also happy that my cholesterol numbers were great. Unfortunately I could not get to the eye doctor as there was an insurance change and I now have to wait 3 months before I can get back in.
So my goals for September:
* After discussing this with my doctor I am trying Keto for a month to help me get over my weight plateau.
* I have taken my final trip of the year so I need to get back into my regular exercise routine. My dog will be happy as she misses our walks.
* Spend more time on projects I enjoy. My daughter and I are taking pottery classes (something both of us have wanted to try), get back into painting and also making jewelry as my mom gave me a bag of her old jewelry to experiment with. Plus I am taking a Bonsai class soon.
One more thing I wanted to mention... I went shopping for clothes as I can no longer keep my pants up. I have hated shopping but this time I really looked forward to it. I almost dropped 2 pants size. The size I was hoping to get into was just a bit snug but I didn't let that discourage me. I look forward to the day when I can donate all the clothes that represent my "overweight period." I know I will never be a toothpick like I was in my 20's but just getting under 200 pounds will make me so happy. Just 30 lbs to go.
I hope everyone has a great month!

Alrighty I have officially gone off the deep end DIY-ish! We got a nice grocery store insert and I made envelopes out of it for my pen pals!

I'm going to write the addresses on white cards and tape on front.👍1

Sharon, you look mauvalous!💖1

Rebecca Those envelopes are fun!1

Deb in VA – you have no idea how very lucky you are.
Beth – beautiful post. How could you NOT have opened the pool?
Finally planted this tree that a friend gave me back in Feb. Like I said, I’m a religious gardener – if God means for it to live, it’ll live. Then went in the pool, strung some popcorn, had dinner, here and then back out to string more popcorn. Vince turned some of the timers so they come on earlier -- boo
Rebecca – I think I said it before but let me say it again, happy anniversary. Sounds like a wonderful anniversary dinner. With a coupon, no less. Can I get much better?
Lisa (rvfamilyfour) – congrats on the down sizes
Out to string more popcorn. Later gals

Never thought I would be boohooing over a Great British Baking Show episode, but that was a spectacular and moving finale.0

Beth near Buffalo Thanks for the short bio :-) I was athletic and trim my entire life until being waylaid by breaking four bones in my foot, got depressed, adopted poor eating habits and packed on weight. Foot is fine now (most of the time). My goal is to lose 50 pounds.
Caring for the disabled is challenging. Kudos to you! In order for him to have lived independently for 9 years reflects on the a great job you did while he was growing up!!! And for your younger son to have the determination (and smarts :-) to finish college, despite migraines, speaks to the values you and your husband have instilled in him!
I have three sons: The eldest (45yo) became parpalegic nipple down at age 17 after suffering a near fatal bicycle accident that fractured nine vertebrae, but recovered with intensive physical therapy and acupuncture. He has his own lumber business, is married with wife and has one adorable daughter (whose 9th b-day is next week). Next son (42yo) was inspired by the medics that came to the aid of his bother. He'a firefighter. My 6'5" (36yo) baby works as a 1st mate on National Geographic cruise ships. Raising the three boys solo was tough. But fortunately never had any "real" issues with them. We're close and I'm proud of the men they became. After 25+ years of single-hood :-o I'm now partnered with my BF of five years who keeps me laughing!
What is an IF lifestyle????

I spent 7 hours in the ER with my mom. Apparently she had a migraine headache. She hasn’t had a migraine in years. Sleeping now, thank goodness!!
The bike ride looks awesome. I’m getting ready to head to the park for a walk. The weather is awesome today, but it’s supposed to be 92-98 all of next week! So done with the high temps!!
Allergies - Louisville, KY is a top 10 city for allergies! Columbus, OH wasn’t much better. The ragweed is making me miserable!!
Connie in KY
Connie, two years ago this month I had my first ambulance ride when I had a headache appear out of nowhere. I was at an event and I scared the other people (and myself), so they called 911. The ER diagnosed it as a sudden onset migraine. I had never had one before. I was actually glad I went by ambulance or I would have had to sit in the ER for hours waiting to be seen. After the diagnosis I felt kind of stupid for riding in an ambulance for a headache, but neither the EMTs nor the ER personnel made me think so.
