Good evening
For the most part, I've just puttered around the house. Yesterday it was in the 70s. Today the mid 80s. It's supposed to get hotter for the rest of the week.
Tomorrow morning is TOPS again. I'm ready for it.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
It's so hot and humid here. We have been under a tornado watch here. We did have a thunderstorm roll through with a down pour this afternoon. Didn't help with how it feels outside much. Wanted to get a bike ride in today to the grocery store but that didn't happen. Hubby had other plans. Oh well will walk to the grocery store tomorrow after my dentist appointment. All planned exercise was done. Food choices today have been off the chart. Tomorrow is a new day! One off day no matter how bad will not derail my success this week. Prayers to all who need them.0 -
Good evening
Last night, Lynn (the town gossip and busy body) called me to tell me that Bernie has only a few days to live. It didn't make sense because they've been running all kinds of tests on her and they don't do many tests if you are close to death. I checked on it this morning and Lynn's info was wrong. I haven't told Lynn much about Bernie because she's a gossip and a busybody.
I did go see Bernie this afternoon. She seemed confused the first half of my visit, but got better the last half of my visit. I don't know if I told you, but Bernie's cancer has spread.
TOPS was this morning. I gained a pound. Grrr. But we had a good meeting on drinking water.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Hot and Humid again. Today has been a busy day. All planned workouts 💪 done. Didn't get to walk home from the grocery store as I bought to much to carry but got some great deals. Dentist appointment went well. The dentist informed me that my one tooth he fixed still needs a crown and it's not covered. Which I know or he would have already done it. Anyway I told him there's no way I can afford that. His response was "Let me know when you want it done". Hello didn't I just tell you it'll never be in my budget 🙄.
As I haven't posted about my neighbor since Monday I decided it's time for an update. On Monday evening after my update was posted he contacted me to let me know he had just tested positive for COVID but didn't believe it would affect his release. Well he didn't get released. Yesterday he told me he wanted to be taken to the Feild and be shot. This afternoon he called and informed me he still has COVID but that he is being released and will be home in a hour or so. He didn't sound like himself at all and I thought I was talking to his friend.
🙏 For Bernie. I hate gossipy people who don't have the right info. 1 lbs is not a big deal you'll have it off again in no time.0 -
Good evening,
I took Mary to Missoula this morning for her MRI. She'll get the results next Thursday.
I don't get much done on days that I go to Missoula. I've been trying to catch up with you on fitbit since I got home. You're a good competitor!1 -
I hope your neighbor gets over the covid and have no lasting problems.0

Good Evening Everyone!
You're definitely giving me a good run for my money on Fitbit 🤣.
Today has been a pretty boring day. All planned workouts done. Some cleaning and visited with friends. My son is coming tonight and spending the weekend as he doesn't have to work tomorrow. Talked with my neighbor and he is doing as well as can be expected. A couple of his family members are coming to see him tomorrow before they head back east.0 -
Good evening
Today was the day that I planned to stay home all day. That didn't happen!
First, Malia, our granddaughter, needed a ride to Ronan (15 miles away) for a dentist appointment. While she was at the dentist, we checked in to see Bernie. She's doing better today than on Wednesday. She has up to 6 months to live. She knows it.
After I got home, Mary called. She has a stone that formed in the duct to the pancreas. Its the same thing as a gallstone, but she has no gallbladder.
They want to get it out of there in a week to 10 days, as soon as they can get it scheduled. Before that, they wanted some blood tests. The closest lab is in Ronan, so I went back to Ronan.
So much for staying home!1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
You're such a wonderful person to help those that need it. No matter how much we plan something's just don't go out way.
Today has been a great day. All planned workouts done. My morning walk didn't happen due to early morning rain. But did get all other planned walks done. Visited the farmers market got my favorite dressing. But anything else I was looking to get they didn't have or way more than I am willing to pay. Also visited with a couple friends and played some Wii with my Son.0 -
Good evening
Other than my morning walk and a quick walk to the grocery store (only a block away), I've been home all day. It was nice. I was even outside on the lawn reading a book. Very relaxing day.

Good Evening Everyone!
So glad you got to have a rest day!
Hot and humid today. Had rain this morning and has been a chance all day. Probably more tonight. Planned workouts done except my bike ride as it was just to hot when I was able to go. Had an afternoon and evening of binge watching Bones. My no random eating this challenge is no random eating during the day. Yesterday I had no problem and it even helped into the evening. Evening random eating was way down.0 -
Good evening,
It's been a good day, but busy. First thing this morning, I walked, as usual. After I hot home, I showered and got ready for church and went. After church, there was a ladies' meeting. After I came home I relaxed some, then we went out to supper. Everything I ate was healthy. But still over my calorie limit.1 -
This is a weird cloud that I saw this morning on my walk.

Good Evening Everyone!
Glad you had a great Sunday. Being over with healthy choices is way better than being over with unhealthy. Love the photo!
Today has been a busy day. All planned workouts completed and got an extra walk by taking Son to the dentist for his cleaning then walking home. Visited with the neighbor from a very safe distance. He still has COVID but seems to show a very slight improvement. Also felt with my Son's medical insurance company. That was fun. My Son ended up seeing my temper as we the guy wanted to transfer us back to where we came from because he didn't want to listen. Oh well that's all taken care of now.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a great day even with my small gain of 0.25 lbs. I believe it's water retention as my feet feel like there swelling each afternoon into the evening. I try to keep my salt intake low most of the week. I also make sure to drink a minimum of 64 oz. All I can do is keep moving forward doing my best each day. Didn't succeed on my no random eating today.0 -
Good evening
I've been mostly at home today. I got a few things accomplished. Tomorrow is TOPS.
Here is a picture of the flowers outside the extended care where Bernie is. Funny thing is, I showed it to several of those working there as well as Bernie. Some of the staff also took pictures of it.
Later, I found out it was a fake butterfly. lol It's still a pretty picture

Love the photo!
Today was a truly great day! All workouts were completed including a bike ride that I didn't do yesterday. The rain today was helpful for plants but not the humidity. Got a few chores done as well as played a game with Hubby. Feeling really tired but doing my best to keep from snacking for no reason. Woke up early this morning and wasn't feeling well but didn't let it stop me.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been another great day! All planned workouts done. Even played Wii sports with Hubby for a couple of hours. To get extra movement I marching in place when it's not my turn. My hips, knee's and back are definitely feeling the extra movement. Also got some chores done.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a gorgeous day. All workouts completed with some extra walking to run a couple errands. Also watched Extreme Makeover Home Edition and visited with my friend. Today's food choices have been really bad. Tomorrow is a new day. The heat is coming, the heat is coming! Could see a high of 36°C this coming week. Not sure how it will affect my planned exercise for the week. All I can do is my best.0 -
Good afternoon
I'm sitting in my car listening to my favorite radio program. I can't get radio in our house (too many mountainsand home radios don't have good enough antenna), so I listen on the radio web site. Internet is down. It's a major outage.
It's been a busy week. On Thursday and Friday, Mary had doctor appointments. Her next appointment is August 11 and that is to remove that stone that is in the bile duct for her pancreas. She kept saying it was her pancreas. Doctors weren't believing her. I asked her if she felt like saying, "I told you say!"
On Monday, Robert has an appointment with optometrist and on Tuesday, I have an appointment with spine pain specialist for neck pain. Both are trips to Missoula.
I'm enjoying the hikes on fitbit. It's fun watching everyone's progress. I also enjoy the interaction between all of us, too.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
You're definitely a busy lady. It's to bad that you couldn't have multiple appointments on the same day instead of multiple trips. I am enjoying the races too. Just have to remind myself not to overdo it just to come in first or second.
The heat is slowly creeping in. Today was still not to bad with the breeze. Workouts completed, also did an extra walk with Hubby to run a couple of errands. Visited with my friend again today and managed to get a blister while cutting mulberry bushes out of her shrubs. I enjoyed helping her. To bad I can't put that energy into the work around my own yard.0 -
I walk when I'm on the phone. I've been on the phone a lot today.1

Good Evening Everyone!
That's a great way to get steps. I have tried it but then forget what we talked about.
Today has been a very active day. All planned workouts done and even got in an extra walk to and from the grocery store. Did some laundry and binge watching Bones. Need to still plan my program for TOPS on Tuesday.0 -
Good evening
It's hot and very dry here! There is a forest fire about 40 miles north of here. We might lose our church camp. It all depends on how the wind blows. We've been watching the fire on the news. We are in no danger of it.

Good Evening Everyone!
I am glad you're not in any danger. Prayers 🙏 for your Church camp.
Today is a warm muggy day. All planned workouts done and was able to increase my sets of core and upper body workout. Shortly after my walk this morning my neighbor messaged me. He went back to the hospital and asked me if I was willing to watch the puppies. Of course I agreed. Not long ago he messaged me to let me know they sent him home. I am glad he is home but still worried about him. Also played cards with Hubby and did some laundry.0 -
Good afternoon,
I'll be writing this off and on today. I'm waiting for the doctor now.
The church camp hasn't burned yet that I know of, but still in danger. There was a lightning strike on our mountain about 7 PM yesterday that started a fire. It's still small but could get big fast. They can't fight it because the terrain is so rugged. There is also updraft and down1 -
(I hit the wrong button). Doctor came in. I got some injections in the neck muscles. Hopefully it'll help.
As I was saying, there is many updraft and downdraft, that helicopter or airplane support is just too dangerous. So they let it go. And wait for rain and lots of it. We are considered semi-arid here.
It's still small. That's our house in the foreground.

Good Evening Everyone!
Stay safe!
Today was a great day overall. Gained 4.75 lbs this week. This has put a little more determination to do better in the air. This week's plan is to keep doing my workouts and to keep my food in check. I can't afford to keep going in the wrong direction. Time to use tough love on myself. Anyways... enough about that. Today also was my first week as co-leader of our TOPS group. It went well although there wasn't very many people there. Learned from my neighbor his issues are from his cancer spreading. Got some exercise done as well.

Good afternoon
We're on the way to our son's house.
After TOPS this morning, I scooted up to see Bernie. Her cancer is steadily getting worse. Her latest is that se wants to move in with her son (who is single). He can take better care of her than the nursing home. I tried to talk her out of that. I helped my dad take care of my mom when she was dieing with the the same cancer. I know what it takes. I couldn't have done it without the help from dad. Nor could he have taken care of her alone. It's a lot of exhausting work. Bernie has no idea how weak she is. She can't stand for one thing.
I lost a pound at TOPS. We had another no gain, with no turtles. Even our KOPS member lost weight, but she's still within goal.
Here is a picture of the fire on our mountain. It's taken from the parking lot where we meet for TOPS. It's closer to the fire, probably about 5 miles. Between the fire and us is irrigated farm land. I feel safe, just disappointed with the fire. It's still a small fire, but that can change fast.
So far our church camp hasn't burned, but the fire is about a mile from it. With forest land that is really close. Hopefully the winds go in the right direction.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Congrats on your loss! You're doing great! Prayers for Bernie and her family, and the church camp.
Today has been extremely hot and humid. Tomorrow is supposed to be better. Completed all planned workouts except my bike ride. Woke up with a kink in my neck. Didn't feel safe riding when I can't turn my head far enough since I don't have mirrors. Worked on the laundry and the dishes. Also played cards with Hubby. Visited with my neighbor as he is COVID free. He has been updated about his cancer. Worst case scenario is he has 6 months to live. He will be going back on chemo to see if it helps. He's not sure what will happen with the puppies yet. I wish I could take them. Please pray for him.0
