    Did One-One Training with Jackie DVD today. I realized I already owned it! So I’d be willing to sell that one. The plan for tomorrow is to do Jillian Michael 10 Minute Body DVD. I KNOW I don’t have that one (or at least I’m pretty certain that I don’t)

    I also found the Yoga for Belly Butt and Thigh DVD that I owned two copies of, so I’d be willing to sell that one.

    Kylia – thanks for the info about inputting your weight. Any clue as to under which tab it is? Oh, I see that I can enter my weight on my tablet but not on my desktop.

    Barbara – I use Chrome but it appears that I can do it from my tablet

    Got a call from WalMart yesterday. It seems that even with insurance, my Lamictal will cost over $500. So today I’ll call the MD office. I’m sure he’s dealt with this before update: left a message for his assistant.

    Katla – my understanding is that the UK isn’t getting the same treatment as Europe because the UK isn’t part of the EU. Why that should influence this is beyond me. It seems that lately your dh has been having a lot of blood sugar episodes. I’m sure it’s very very scary for you (and him). A talk with his doctor might show up something, maybe even bloodwork. We all change as we get older and maybe his body has changed.

    Mary6 – you look AWESOME!!! I know that it’s so hard to see, but trust me, you do look awesome. Your mind may never see it.

    M – did you have any doubt you’d pass your course? I didn’t…..

    Brain 🧠 fog 🌫 morning. Still JRs too hyper (energized bunny 🐰 hoppin around) to sleep normal so tired. Trying to get him on a schedule before the time change then the time change messed it up worse.

    To reset ones mind of your body (whether you went from too skinny sickly then gained to healthy/or too big feel ill then lose to a healthier weight) I’ve been both was 40lb range at 14yrs old (deadly sick),70lb range after giving birth to Daughter (how to scare a Doctor in 1 step walk in over 200+ lbs pregnant step on the scale minute the kids out have the scale be that low 70’s lbs). Been over 200lbs pregnancies. After baby 1 Daughter (70lb range),baby 2 (130lb range), baby 3 (120lb range),baby 4 JR (200lb range)

    1. Naked alone look in the mirror so your brain 🧠 can record your new look.
    2. Say positive things only as you stare at it
    3. Repeat daily until you picture the new you with a positive vibe.
    4. If your still not at your healthy weight keep aiming for that goal 🥅 (130lbs is my healthy weight )

    Amber Tx

    A pig out day most I’ve gained is 5lbs normally only 2-3lbs just got to work it off for a week.
    150.8lb loss so far
    I’m at 145lbs at the moment (15lbs to go approx). Stuck at 145 at the moment .

    Well it looks like DH & I will have to postpone our anniversary trip :( . I know it's right thing to do but still disappointed about it. We've wanted to go to Seattle for several years and finally had everything fall into place so we could go this year. I'll need to cancel/reschedule our flights/hotel/car rental/etc - hoping we can make it work in late summer or early fall, depends on when we can both get the time off work. We had considered going now even with what's going on, but we wouldn't be able to do a lot of the things we wanted to do while we were there and it would cause issues when we got home. DH works at a nursing home/assisted living place and I work at a school so chances are we wouldn't be allowed back at work for a couple weeks after the trip. In fact, the school where I work is on spring break next week so we're taking advantage of no students here to do a deep cleaning of the facilities and everyone who possibly can will be working from home, including me. There's also the possibility that after that we'd go to online only. Several schools here have already gone to online only or extended their springs breaks for another week. We've only had one local confirmed case of the virus here but I would expect we will get more - doesn't seem like anyplace is immune to it.

    Rebecca ~ Athena is just too cute!

    Machka ~ My hair has never been longer than shoulder length. Yours is very lovely.

    Tere ~ Sorry about your itchy skin problems. I have eczema but it has not been too bad lately.

    My daughter-in-law's mother has been on a mission trip to Tanzania, Africa since the end of February. I am praying that she will be able to get a flight home with all the flying bans going on.

    Rebecca: What a fabulous graph you just posted! It is proof that you are succeeding. WTG!!! :star:

    Mary: You are beauatiful. :flowerforyou:

    Machka: Congrats on your academic success. I am not surprised that you passed the course with high marks. You’re brilliant and motivated. :star: I love the Star Trek greeting from Spock. :smiley:

    Rori: I am pleased that your DH is having a good experience with the VA group. It is good for him, and also for you. :heart:

    Margaret: Your kindergarten hugs are a brilliant way for people to show caring without health worries. :bigsmile: :heart:

    Michele: Thanks for your kind words about DH. His doctor was notified of the low blood sugar episode. He does a good job of managing his food/insulin balance but on this occasion, he didn’t take good care of himself by eating appropriately. I was out of the house at a meeting and came home to find paramedics giving DH IV sucrose. I’m glad that they came. It has been a few years since the last time this happened. The whole experience left me stressed out. :flowerforyou:

    (((Allie)))


    I have nothing on my schedule for today. YAY!!!!! Between DH’s medical emergency and my parking lot fender/bender I’ve had all the stress I can handle and then some. The headache and anxious feelings are easing a bit. Dull and boring sounds very good.

    Allie - I guess since your hours vary you didn’t notice you were getting more take home pay? Having to pay is always a big shock. I know that if I didn’t withhold extra we would have to pay. When they changed The W-4 a year or so ago they made announcements that people would owe if they didn’t change their W4. Perhaps that’s what got you?

    The Government has just announced advice that the over 70s and those in poor health should not go on cruises.
    :D:D:D
    Hoping for a phone call and maybe a good offer.

    Allie - Get some advice. Sounds like a lot of money. :*

    Katla - glad you are feeling more like your old self. Bad DH. Naughty boy. I was watching a programme yesterday and the diabetic guy said he has breakfast just before he goes to bed.

    My difficult friend is not going to the restaurant we had booked. ;)

    The COBRA meeting was very helpful to us. Awaiting results from Saga. I watched the announcement live. With bated breath.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    JanetO: If world health worries resolve in time, fall in the Pacific NW can be gorgeous and is often a better choice than spring. This year fall and winter have been warmer and dryer than usual here in the Pacific NW. I hope that carries to the time you are able to come to WA State and feel safe about it. I am not planning to fly any where until this world health crisis is over. :noway:


    This March will be 50th wedding anniversary. We hope to have our children and grandchildren come and visit the site where we were married. The actual wedding occurred in March, but our current plan is to have the celebration this summer and celebrate family birthdays at the same time. We will have to work around the world health crisis. I don’t want any of my kids exposed to the virus. We can schedule the celebration when air travel is safe, even if our 50th anniversary celebration turns into a 51st celebration.

    I'm having a bit a bit of panic..so I spoke to the tax preparer and was in for a bit of a shock.. I pay quarterly to the state and IRS because I get alimony.. I am working part time and somehow when my boss took over they messed up the w4 and didnt withdraw enough. So on top of the quarterly payments I owe 2300.00 that's rediculous...ugh no my stomach is churning

    That happened with my subbing too. They changed the withholding amounts this year so your part time work might have been under the theshold for withholding and/ or the government reduced the amount to withhold. I think they did this on purpose hoping we would go out and spend more.

    We are more than likely going to owe taxes too this year. I agree contact IRS and set up a payment schedule.

    It does sound like there might will be breathing room this year in that they will delay filing. Have your tax preparer go over what you think you will need to pay next year. I know they expect timely payments. One year we had a windfall late in the year. I tried to pay more taxes to cover it. The still charged us a penalty because we paid the extra late in the year. We missed the cyrstal ball that year. We were also late with one of payments this year and will more than likely have a penalty for that.

    In future check your pay stubs. It will say on the stubs how much they take out for taxes. If none or not enough is taken out adust your quarterly payments. You could also adjust how much is taken out with a W4 form.

    Sorry this happened to you.

    Allie – so sorry you owe that money. I bet you can get a payment schedule

    Katla – very congratulations. Not many couples make it to 50 today, so you and your hubby are to be commended
