    Joan we are still waiting for Sparks to close that will bring more daily posts
    How did your weekly WI go?
    I'm maintaining so that's a good week for me.
    This next week, I'll be concentrating on eating fresh veggies.
    Also adding night time tea.


    Barb thanks for the update on Clara <3
    Sorry for your SIL's fall <3


    Nola any more storms headed up your coast?
    Florida is getting ready.
    In the next 10 days, we are still hot with little hope for a cool down.
    Robert is wanting to go back to Train Mountain but not is 100 degree weather.

    Still having lots of rain and a few storms rolling through. I miss my sunshine, I am not a winter person.
    Karen sad it is too hot for Train Mountain. Hope it gets a bit cooler soon and you and Robert can get away to play with your trains.
    Hemtech what is your name?

    Nola LOL No you are NOT a winter person
    Hope the sunshine returns FAST

    Joan I'll post the names I've collect
    Great you are maintaining


    This last week has been a tough one, no motivation lead to many days without exercise or accountability.
    I’m recommitting to calorie counting, prayer, and cardio.

    My stomach is again holding the fat, so I’ll measure my waist and go with lowering that number AND the scales
    Following these steps to measure my waist:

    1. Stand up to get an accurate waist measurement.
    2. Wrap the tape measure around the widest part of your stomach, across your belly button. The tape measure should rest gently on your skin.
    3. Once the tape measure is positioned correctly, breathe in gently and then take the measurement on the exhale.

    Take the measurement three times to make sure you get a consistent result. Holding the tape too tight so that it digs into your flesh or holding it too loosely so that it droops will cause you to get an incorrect result.

    Wednesday: Talked w/SIL yesterday. Saw orthopedist and she has a fracture of her left hand (not her wrist) and it’s a clean break. Bad news is that’s her dominant hand. She has the air splint on it till she sees a hand surgeon. Surgery won’t be needed as it’s a clean break, but she needs to have it casted.

    No broken hip, so that’s the good news. Bad news is she has a pelvic fracture. Will need physical therapy. Guiding her to get home health care services so she can at least get the therapy started when it’s appropriate @ home. Also suggested maybe when she sees the ortho next, ask about pool therapy when it’s appropriate. Fortunately at least it seems to be a stable fracture so no surgery needed.

    Rained finally! Cooled off to the 60’s. We’ll see what today brings!

    HUGS and wonderful Wednesday.

    Sally: You’re doing well .. . . learning and practicing step by step.

    Have fun getting the nails done! Enjoy your playroom.

    HUGS

    Nola: I don’t blame you for not being a winter person.

    Hemtech (Joan): I am Barb, 1crazydog.

    Sorry you had a difficult week. But sounds like you have a good plan.

    Karen: Sorry! Don’t know any of the people you’ve listed and are unidentified.

    Nola Thanks for your help o:)
    so when you call Australia 'Oz' it's for Aussie/Ozzie fun?
    I love it <3

    Seen that our Eliza from Sparks is on MFP but hasn't joined our group
    Is Lin still posting on Sparks?

    Maybe, just in case their are lost, you could post a link to our new MFP All For One
    (I'm not use if this is the right link)
    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10836108/chat-about-anything-right-here#latest

    Also I guess on the next member update I'll add the USA states to Lin and Dorothy

    .........
    Barb great news about SIL's hip, prayers she can handle all the PT

    Susan yes thanks :) I got your email. I'm still moving slow around MFP
    But so enjoy visiting with ladies from Oz and Canada, from all over :) this big world

    Thursday: Friday EVE! Wow. Weeks seem to go quicker and quicker.

    Jason has therapies again today. He’ll be tired.

    Cooled off! Rain overnight and guess we’re expecting some tonight, too. Well, no complaints!

    Have to call SIL today to see how she’s going .

    HUGS

    Karen: EXCELLENT idea!

    Barb great Jason is having PT
    Hope you both are resting well

    We just got our neighbor, Larry, home from the hospital and medications filled

    Thursday girl outing was great, lots of laughing and chatting

    Hi to ALL <3

    Friday: Well, it’s FriYaY! What a fast week.

    Jas had PT yesterday and is now down to once/week for the PT. He’ll continue w/aqua therapy twice/week.

    Cloudy all day yesterday. Sprinkled quite a bit in the afternoon. Looks like we’ll have a risk of rain over the weekend. We still need it, so no complaints.

    SIL has a neon pink fiberglass cast on her hand now. She’s not happy but I don’t blame her. Really very little she can do with the broken hand and the pelvic fracture. It’s so hard.

    Jason cracked a molar yesterday. **SIGH** Probably will need a crown ($$$$). But at least a tooth is fixable. And thankfully the dentist will see him @ 10 am this morning.

    Well, here’s to a non-eventful Friday!

    HUGS

    Karen: Yes, Jason and I were both tired yesterday. He did lots of work in therapy! But making progress.

    Glad your neighbor Larry is home. So good of you to get the meds filled for him. Are you walking his dog Buddy?

    Nola: Have a restful weekend.

    Have a great weekend, fellow ONER's.

    Barb what are you feeding Jason ;)
    so sorry about the dentist trip but getting in today is perfect

    No not me, I'm off Buddy walking duties.

    Nola and Joan <3

    "ALL" have a great weekend

    Today, and NOT to add more stress, but to count it as meditation and cardio, I will go for a long 60 minute walk with 10 minutes of climbing the stairs. this is an old photo when it was overcast and cool something I'll be meditating about o:)

    Saturday: Diner day! It will be nice to see our friends again. Makes the weekend great!

    Beautiful day yesterday! Supposed to be nice again today.

    Probably going to take Miss Lilly to the park. She’ll be a happy girl!

    Have a good Saturday.

    Hugs

    Karen: Feeding Jas nuts’n’bolts! LOL Nope, seriously, he cracked his tooth on chicken breast. Obviously the tooth was ready to blow. Glad he got in yesterday. Tooth prep on the 30th and then crown placement in August. IN the meantime, he’s got no pain, so that’s a plus.

    OHhhhh, I guess I remember you saying that once. Glad Buddy has a walker, though!

    Have fun on your hike! Looks challenting!!!!

    Joan: Have a good weekend.

    Nola: Hope you’re not being affected by your vaccination! Take it easy.

    HUGS ladies <3

    Yesterday’s goals accomplishment plus some
    I walked for 75 minutes, 10 on the stairs and 20 minutes of core work

    But then last night OOPS I lost it and ate LOTS of candy
    I'm feeling better now :D

    Today
    I’m working on my #2 ST with light hand weights
    Will see if I can bring out the 10 pounders

    Barb Did you and Miss Lilly make it to the park? Hope so

    Monday: Supposed to have had rain yesterday, and it looked like it would, but none in our area. That’s fine! It was a very comfortable day. And today looks like a repeat, with rain again forecast for tonight.

    Had to run to get Miss Lilly food (she doesn’t take kindly to running out of her food!) LOL

    HUGS and here’s to a motivated Monday.

    Karen: Oh goodness. Good you got al the exercise in anyhow! Hope today is a better day.

    YES we went to the park yesterday and she had a ball. She’s getting better about socializing. So that’s a definite WIN. Were going to go to the dog park today, but . . . didn’t beat the rain.

    Nola: Hellllooooooo! Hope you’re feeling better today. Thinking of you. Many hugs to feel better!

    Have a great day. ONERs. Be safe, be well. <3

    Karen, thanks, day turned out great. Nice sunny day, had 2nd vaccine and so far both of us feel ok.
    Missed our usual walk but one day off won't set us back. Hoping you get some rain to combat the fires must be so scary! No la, feel better!

    Tuesday: Terrific Tuesday to you.

    Had some rain yesterday, and continue through Wednesday. Severe weather possible on Wednesday, but nothing severe today.

    Doing insurance wars, but we’ll see how it all works out. I believe they made a coding error. We’ll find out tomorrow.

    Otherwise, just sticking around the house today.

    HUGS

    Karen: Sorry to hear of the fires. *SIGH* I know CA is in the throes of wild fires, too. So sad. Prayers, ad will try to send some rain.

    Sorry your vaca is cancelled.

    Joan: Glad you had a good day! Very happy to hear you both feel good after vaccine #2.

    Nola: Hope you’re feeling better and your trip to get your glasses, etc. yesterday went well.

    HUGS ladies.

    Tomorrow I’m going to the hairdressers. My regular stylist is unavailable so she ask this coworker to cover for her. Hope I’m not crying afterwards

    Today, walked for 40 minutes

    Barb hope you don't have to bring out Nurse Rachit to deal with these medical coding errors B)
    Some of those mistakes are expensive

    Joan hope you are still feeling OK.
    My second shot took awhile to kick in :(
    Just in case I'm sending you a bucket of ice <3

    That's sweet of you to send ice! So far we are ok. Just a bit of ache if we lay on that side. My niece unfortunately had chills, headache and general aches. Will send the ice up to her, lol
