    🙂🧡😊

    Another hot day here. It is summer in Texas after all. I cannot tolerate the heat anymore.

    I have turned to Leslie Sansone Walk at Home for my workouts. Have a few of her DVDs but mostly use what she has on YouTube.

    Back to the dentist today. I've had a crown fall out 3 times. She ordered a new one. Feel ok with them as they are all well covered with masks and such. You call from parking lot. They tell you if a room has been sanitizer and then you go in.

    Have a good Monday my friends!

    Kelcey ~ My heart goes out to you. I am still crying over the loss of our Pom who we had to put down in March.

    Ana ~ Welcome and what a good start you have made in losing weight.

    Machka: I can see that you’re looking forward to feeling better, but I can’t imagine you lying around for very long without wanting to do this or that. I hope things go exceedingly well and you are able to get enough rest without feeling trapped in the bed. :star:

    Karen in VT: Watching wildlife is a delight. We have river otters in our area and they look similar to your photo, but I think they’re quite a bit bigger. Karen’s idea of minks makes sense. I haven’t seen minks here, but I have seen them in the San Juan islands of Washington State. :flowerforyou:

    Barbie: We visit the grocery stores here in town frequently, but there are no Costco stores near us. We would have to travel from our town with few Covid cases to Beaverton or Hillsboro with many. We’re staying here. :ohwell:

    Kelceybyers: I am sorry you had to put your dog down. We’re hoping that we won’t have to do that for our dog any time soon, but it is really a kindness when an animal has pain. :heart: :broken_heart:


    There is a yoga class available this evening and I would like to go, but DH is not willing for me to go into the fitness club. He would much prefer that I go out to the stable. I would like to do both. I’ll talk with him about it.

    Karen heard that after his poor wife held on to hope that he’d be disabled but there for the baby.I cried so hard. She was getting her work lined up to be their support system even. Such a good wife so sad for her. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nick-cordero-died-broadway-actor-dead-age-41-cause-of-death-coronavirus-2020-07-05/

    Sharon in Seattle I thought about aliens saying ENOUGH people you are killing the Earth. Let’s give it a rest! Lol! Another option.... the ice shelf is melting in Siberia and all kinds of ancient creatures (aliens?) are being uncovered. Viruses can reanimate after freezing!

    Barbara,

    DH frequently says “you should...”’ It irritates the dickens out of me. I come from a long line of advice givers. When I catch myself offering uninvited advice I am embarrassed. I have a long way to go to in managing to keep my opinion to myself. 😳

    DH rarely gives advice, but he is argumentative. He knows it is a failing, but he can't help himself. ;) He says it is because he was trained to hold his own in a discussion at Oxford University. His first wife hated his arguing. Our bust up was because I was putting forward an opinion about the way the covid crisis was handled and he disagrees with me. He is fed up with me stating my controversial opinion. >:) It quickly got out of hand. We were in the exercise room at the time.
    Luckily all is better now. <3 He obviously is trying hard to be more amenable. This morning we had a long discussion in bed about the early church. I am reading my umpteenth book about the subject, it is one of my areas of special interest. This one is called Dominion.
    We have a lot of intellectual discussions in bed. :D Having our morning cup of tea. Occasionally he gets the huff and sometimes I blow up if he is nitpicking too much. :# Better than being bored though. The other time we disagree is when we are listening to the radio during our exercises. That's what set us off this time. I agreed with the speaker and he didn't. I'm right, of course.
    I did manage to let it ride for the rest of the day and let him sulk.
    This morning he was over it .

    Did my writing this morning.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Hi all! Happy Monday!

    Just weighed in - gained another pound and a half over the past week. DH says it’s our scale - but I’m not so sure. Weighed in at the docs office last week and was 2 pounds more than my scale (granted that was fully clothed) - but it seemed about right. I’m currently at 1300 calories a day (with one or two cheat meals thrown in) - I’d really prefer not having to go back to 1200. Maybe I need to get on the treadmill twice a day!

    Made a new dish for the week - Baked Ramja with pickled onion. Looks so pretty!

    I am 73 and have been working out for over 20 years. Now that I'm stuck at home, I alternate 3 different workouts. I also go hiking once a week. I started out at 129. My goal is 115. I was down to 124, but this week I gained a pound and I don't know why. I am eating between 900 and 100 calories a day. I am 5' tall.
    I know the sedentary days are not helping, but don't know why I have gained. Any ideas would be helpful.

    How hot and humid is it? You can retain more water depending on the weather. Stay moving as much as you can to will help.

    I hope you all had a good holiday weekend. My weekend was really hard. I had to put my dog down this weekend and my youngest son is so mad at me he told me he was done with me. I know he's just angry and I'm the easiest to lash out on but it doesn't make it hurt any less.

    I'm hoping to keep the emotion out of my eating but could definitely use some positive vibes.

    RIP Bruschi...you were a good dog and I thank you for what you brought to our lives....

    I am so sorry for you loss I know it wasn't easy. You just didn't want Bruschi to suffer any longer. Your right son is taking his pain out on you. Big (((HUG))) to you!

    Barbara- your happy place sounds perfect. Any day starting with a sip of tea is a good one. That is how I always start my day, using my favorite mug.
    Thanks for the compliment on the baby pictures- Love when they were little- went by so fast.

    A few ladies here suggested to me to switch things up a bit and see what works for you.
    I kept my calories at 1000 but added in just a little extra exercise and the scale finally moved. Hoping to continue. 15lbs to goal.

    Analaurel98: Welcome! :star:

    KelceyByers: I’m so sorry you had to make a hard choice and let your dog rest in peace. :broken_heart::heart:

    Rita: Have you named your new friend? :huh:

    Heather: I love to exercise to music, especially classical or 1960’s or 70’s. We have our trykes on trainers in the garage and I may choose to use mine today. We have a good music system to enjoy out there. I’ve got a need to move and reduce stress. :star:


    Our son called today and we had a great visit with him. It was good to hear his voice.

    A pound seems to me quite within the water/salt/ bowel normal fluctuations . Even so, it is very annoying. I know I would be sctraching my head too. I also know that my body responds to two glasses of wine and to a restaurant meal that way and the extra pound disappears after a day. Drink lots of water for a day or so..

    Did a DVD of weights with the barbell today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Cathe Friedrich Fitness Cross Fire DVD

    Sarah Israel     – congrats on that streak! Be sure to check it, MFP always seems to set me back to 0 days. Oh well…I know that I logged and that’s what’s important

    Cheri     – maybe they have a stronger bonding material for your crown?

    The guy with the corn called. It’s in. I don’t know if I have room in my freezer for all that I want so I asked him if I could get 2 bags now and the other one in a few weeks. Cooking purple potatoes, will try them in the freezer. He didn't think the corn would be in in a couple of weeks. Well, if I miss out, I miss out. That's life

    Kelcey     – I’m so very sorry.

    Analure –     welcome

    The corn I like came in. The farmer harvested it this morning and I’m right now cooking the last of it. Got 120 ears. I would like to have gotten more, but I honestly don’t have room in my freezer. Wish I did. Vince actually helped shuck the corn. Do you know this was the first time he’d ever shucked corn! The guy really lived a deprived childhood. He’d never heard of Jersey tomatoes until he married me!

    Steve came here. We’re going to have snow crab legs for dinner tonight and (what else?) corn. I’ll probably give him some of the corn to take home.

    Tomorrow he’s going to make some sort of pork schnitzel. I understand it’s fried. Well, I’ll have some to be nice.

    Allie     – good to hear that the pros outweigh the cons! We’re rooting for you

    Rita – love all your photos

    Claresbubb – welcome, you’re doing great with your exercising. Sometimes no matter what we do, sometimes our bodies don’t want to go below a certain weight.

    Michele NC
