Good Evening Everyone!
Today isn't as hot but it feels bad with the humidity. All planned workouts 💪 done. Had an extra walk after Son's Dr. check-up (passed with flying colors) to grab a few things in that area and then back to the bus stop. My hips are not to happy with me but oh well. Also still have the kink in my neck but it's not as bad.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a hot and humid day. Woke up with the kink but it's a lot better than it was. Hips are still bothering me but while I am moving I don't notice it as much. Getting up and down out of my seat is the worst part. Oh well it'll get better. One of my clients is back in town and is back to expecting me to drop everything for him. I worked today for him removing wall paper for over 3 hrs. While I was working he was trying to talk me into working on the weekend. Not happening when my Son is here. I have to work tomorrow as it is for my friend. She decided she wanted me to come clean after all.0 -
Good evening
Lunch with my cousin today. It was fun. We first had lunch, then went to the mall and shopped. Robert didn't want to go. I said the right words so he didn't want to go. lol He usually wants to go, but I said we're going to the mall. I knew he didn't want to go to the mall.
I haven't heard anything new about the fire. We had a few small showers today. I hope that helped.
I saw a bear on my walk this morning. I haven't seen many this summer. But I know they are around. I see the evidence of them. They cone into town to get garbage.

Good Evening Everyone!
So glad you had a few showers. I do hope they have helped with the fires. I am glad you got some time without Hubby. We all need some time apart.
Today has been a very hot and humid day. Early morning walk through to tonight I have been drenched in sweat unless I was in a building. Which of course was not as often as I would have preferred. All planned workouts done. Hooked my client up with a couple of friends who can do his painting. They are starting Monday @ 7:30 am. While I won't get there till about 10:30 am to finish removing wall paper. This will be interesting. Cleaned for a friend today and did some visiting as well. My Son goes home tomorrow after lunch. Going to be another scorcher tomorrow so not sure I will get my bike ride again.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Another hot and humid day. All planned exercise was completed except the bike ride. My early morning walk was bad enough. So it has been more of a rest day. Binge watching more Bones today as well. Tomorrow is back to wall paper removal after I complete all my workouts.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Another hot and humid day. The rain we got didn't seem to help much temperature wise. Got all my workouts done early including my walk. Then spent about 6 hrs removing wallpaper. My neighbor is not doing well. They are trying to get him in to hospice. I am helping him as needed. Including with the dogs. His daughter will be coming down tomorrow or Wednesday. I truly hopes he makes it that long. I am praying that when I go over to let the dogs out I don't find him dead. I have never been in that situation except for a dog. I didn't handle that well. Anyways looking forward to going to TOPS tomorrow.0 -
Good evening!
Fires have slowed down some. The one in our mountains is about 400 acres. The one that is near our church camp is much bigger and about a mile from it. It all depends on which way the winds decide to blow.
We went to see Bernie yesterday after church. She was sleeping and I couldn't stir her. She wasn't much better today. I don't think she'll last this week.
It's hot and dry here. That's pretty much normal here in the summer. It's in the 90s.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I am sorry about Bernie. You're a wonderful person to continue to visit with her. I am sure she feels so blessed to have you in her life.
Today was so much cooler and with no humidity. It was great. Went to TOPS and had a great meeting and executive meeting. I am down 0.5 lbs this week! Now to keep the progress going. My neighbor seemed a little better this morning when I went over. His daughter made it down this afternoon. So she will be taking care of the dogs while she is here. Didn't get my bike ride done. Shame on me for allowing myself to make excuses. Plan to do it tomorrow morning after my walk.0 -
Good evening,
Our mountain fire is 500 acre tonight. I have heard anything on the fire near our church camp. I guess no news is good news.
Robert is at a board meeting. I'm watching a documentary on contemporary Christian music. It's interesting. But I probably won't watch it again.
Tomorrow morning is TOPS for me. I'm almost ready. I'm mostly resting up afterwards. On Thursday, I have to get up at 4:30 AM, yes, you read that right. Mary has to be in Missoula for her surgical procedure at 6:30. That's really early! Then VBS on Friday, Saturday and finishing on Sunday.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Hope all went well at TOPS. You definitely have an early day on Thursday. Have a safe trip.
Today has been a great day. All planned exercise has been completed including my bike ride. Feeling tired and sore in a good way. Took my DS to get his bottom braces on. Then went for lunch. He didn't end up working after so he went with me shopping and then we returned to our respective homes. His only comment about them so far is that they feel weird. Here is the picture he sent after getting home as I forgot to do it before.

Good evening,
As usual, I walked early this morning. I saw a 2 point white tail buck. I always enjoy seeing deer. This one seamed to not be bothered by me at all. He just looked at me and I was really close to him.
I then went to TOPS and walked with other members. I was Loser of the Week it only half pound loss. Our program was on mushrooms.
I talked to someone who visited Bernie this morning. She was alert and talking. I know that won't last.
I'm enjoying the Fitbit hike. At one point I was 1 step ahead of you. I thought that was funny.1 -
Good evening
I'm really tired tonight. I got a lot of steps in. Mary insisted on going to Walmart after her procedure. She was still a little woosey, so l followed her around to make sure she was OK. She wanted a hamburger, but the doctor said only clear liquid for her today. He didn't want her to aggravate the pancreas.
They took out a large stone and put a stint in the duct. The procedure was supposed to be about 90 minutes long... it was over 3 hours.1 -
Good evening,
I had another full day today. VBS (Vacation Bible School) was today. As usual. I'm doing crafts). Mary even came to help out. This year is the first VBS since covid and it's a little different. It's small, but good. 20 kids, mostly 3rd grade and younger. It's a good thing the crafts are easy!
Once again, I'm really tired!1 -
Good evening
Last night, the electricity went out at 7:30. And was off about 90 minutes. We went to bed earlier than usual. It came back on just before I was about to drift off to sleep. I grabbed the remote for our window fan and turned it on. At least it was cooler to sleep. The outage was probably because or lightening or wind. We had both last night.
We had VBS again today. The crafts are easy to do, but hectic with 20 small children at the same time.1 -
Good evening!
VBS is over. It sure was different this year. Today we went to Missoula to get Robert's new lens for his glasses. Then we did some shopping.
I saw this yesterday mornining when I first started walking. It's about half block from my house.

Good Evening Everyone!
I am so glad to be back! Being sick was no where near fun but only lasted about 3 days. Slowly getting back to the exercise. Don't want to over do it. Today was my rest, weigh and TOPS day. Down 4.25 lbs! Now to maintain it this week as I get back into exercise. My neighbor went into hospice today. I managed to finally get his lawn mower before he left. Also had a great talk with his daughter. He had her give me payment for all I have done for him and will continue to do for them as needed till the house sells. She wanted me to let her know if my services exceed the amount. I told her that her father gave us what he could and that I never expected a dime so I would not be requesting any money in the future. I also got to see him off and show some love to him. It was alot harder than I thought it was going to be. He's going to be deeply missed. The transporter thanked me for all the support I have given. He also said it was nice to see an old school neighborhood.
I have read all the posts.0 -
Good evening,
I'm so happy to see you back!!!
We went to see Bernie this afternoon. She was actually awake. She did some talking. I couldn't understand all that she said. But she was saying goodbye. She also told Robert to take care of me. It was a hard visit.
Tomorrow is TOPS for me. I'm either going to turtle or a small loss. I agree with you, about your loss. Best wishes on maintaining that loss.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Sorry to hear about Bernie. It's hard but you got to say goodbye and that's important.
Today has been a great day! All planned exercise done. Definitely feeling it tonight. But so worth it! I am taking care of the puppies tonight and tomorrow morning. They are so sad, confused and scared. But I am giving them lots of love and reassurance. Tomorrow afternoon I have to clean for a client. Tomorrow will be another great day!0 -
Good evening
Well, as I said I would, I turtled at TOPS. At least I didn't gain! We are starting to make plans to go to the Fall Rally.
The mornings are cooler now and sunrise is a little later. We never did reach 100 degrees F here. Missoula did though. It's still in the low 90s here most days.1 -
Good evening
I haven't said much about the fires lately. Our church camp is safe. The fire in our mountains is almost out. We are getting smoke from other fires around us, nothing close to us. I've been sneezing a lot lately. Probably from the smoke.
There is usually less smoke, almost none, in the early morning. That's another good reason to walk outside early. Unless I walk to the store, the rest of my walking is in my house.
I've been going through thing around the house. Sorting keep, donate, or throw away. Somethings are harder to decide.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Staying the same is definitely better than a gain. I am glad the fires didn't affect the church camp or your place.
Today has not gone as planned. First I forgot to change my phone and it was dead when I woke up. So spent that time reading. Then let out the puppies. While doing that I find out my one client decided we need to start at 9 am instead of 4 pm. That gave me 30 minutes to let the dog's out, make breakfast and eat it.Then he doesn't show up till 20 after. Anyways needless to say the only exercise I got was wallpaper removal. Will do my best to make up some of it tomorrow.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a beautiful great day. Got all planned workouts and some from yesterday done. Also got some dishes and laundry done finally. Even took a short nap that I apparently needed. Now to be productive this evening.0 -
Good evening,
I've spent most of the day inside. It's still in the 90s. It was in the 60s when I walked early this morning. I finished my walk before sunrise.
There is another fire, but it's over 40 miles away. We're safe from that one. But we get the smoke, as well as the one in Glacier National Park.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Haven't been in for a couple days. Sat was the celebration of life for a friend that passed in March. It was an awesome party with lots of alcohol, dancing and food, among other things. I had one drink and a few jello shots. But definitely ate way to much food. Didn't get to bed till about 2 am. Slept in yesterday and vegged all day watching TV. Today was alot of vegging and visited with our friend. Tomorrow is TOPS. Not sure how I will do the scale. But not going to worry about it.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a good day overall. Gained 1.25 lbs. No big deal. I expected a much bigger gain. Got some laundry done. Now I need to start getting ready for my trip to the county to do my volunteer work at one of our fairs. I am not sure which day I am leaving but it's sometime between Saturday and Tuesday. Then I won't be home till September 5th.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a beautiful productive day. All planned workouts done. Dishes almost caught up and more laundry done and started. Also played Skipbo with Hubby for a couple hours. As of right now I am not leaving till Tuesday after TOPS. This is good as I can save more money and will stick to my workouts for longer as I know that it is highly unlikely that I will get my workouts done while gone.0 -
Good evening,
Wow! What a busy week! Sundays are always busy.
On Monday, we made a leisurely trip to Missoula to have lunch and a little shopping. That was the plan. While we were eating lunch. I get a call that Mary wanted to go ER, because she was in a huge amount of pain. I made a few calls to find someone that would at least bring her to Missoula. So after we were finished with what we had to do, we went to the hospital to see what's going on. She has more stones in her bile duct to her pancreas. We didn't get home until 7 PM.
Tuesday, I had a planned BBQ with friends. That went well, but was a lot of work.
Today started with my morning walk. Then off to TOPS. As usual, I walked with other TOPS members. No weigh-in because the scales didn't work. Grrr I would have had a good loss. It is what it is! Afterwards, we went to see Bernie. The nursing home had called her so Josh to go to her. We got there at the same time. Bernie is close to dying.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
You definitely have been busy. Hugs about the scale. But just think if you stay on track the loss will be even bigger when you can weigh in. Sorry to read about Bernie. Hope all works out for Mary.
Today has been a busy day. All planned workouts done. More laundry and dishes done. 2 clients lined up for tomorrow and the neighbors daughter asked me to cut the lawn once a week for them as the realtors landscaper can not do it weekly. Of course I agreed but informed her of when I was leaving and when I'd be back. We are a little stressed as we think our fridge is going. So need to deal with that. Luckily I just have to call the landlord and clean it out. Hoping to borrow some coolers so we don't waste to much food. Luckily it's happening before I leave.0 -
Good evening
Bernie passed away last night. I'm ok with it. I reminded her several times that she is a child of the King and will be with him soon. She's with him now wit no cancer, no pain, no illness, no stress.
I asked Robert if he could fix the scales. H couldn't. So I have permission to get a new one.
Last time my refrigerator gave up, I had to use an ice chest for a week. While waiting on a repairman. It was a pain! That was several years ago. We still have the same one with no problems.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I am so sorry for the loss of Bernie. But you're right she's in a better place.
Today has been a mostly cloudy day. My first client cancelled last night as the house isn't ready for me to clean. Oh well left me time to do other things. Also got all my workouts done. Update on my neighbor is that he is still doing pretty good under the circumstances. I decided that I will not go see him. I want to remember him the way he was when he left. The house goes up for sale on Monday and his daughter offered me the job to cut the lawn each week since the realtors landscaper can't do it that often.0
