Chris I love the second one. I will do it tomorrow. I looked it over tonight while answering my door.
Jury trial in Circuit court today. Found guilty of Possession of meth. Easy day. And our heat is on at work. It was 57 degrees all Monday. I was cold. Handed out almost all the candy we bought. Thank goodness!

Chris thanks for that workout. It looks fun.0 -

October was a horrible month. I need to make changes but I’m not sure what to do. Also I hate when daylight savings time ends and it gets dark here at 5:30. It’s depressing. Suggestions ladies?0 -
My Vegas trip has been canceled. It’s such a long story and I’m so disappointed. But as bad as I feel, we received sad news yesterday. My mom’s baby brother passed away yesterday after being pretty much brain dead after having a cardiac arrest last September. He was in a long term care facility and it’s been really tough on his wife and daughter. To be honest it’s almost a relief because you don’t know whether he’s suffering or not. He was 67. I’m glad I am here for my mother. They were really close.
So now I’m conflicted on going to Jamaica. Of course it’s not until 11/10 so I’m hoping I can still go. But I did tell Ron to go without me if I can’t because he really needs this trip. He’s been through a lot.
I feel all my posts lately have been bad news. Sorry ladies…

Kathy, don't be sorry for your posts. We are here for you, always and forever. We love you. You are like a sister to us.
I am so sad for your loss. I am sure your mother is glad you are there for her. Losing someone close to your heart is hard.
Shelley, you are very welcome for the workout...now get to it!!
I have my trainer today at noon. We have Collin this morning and will have Ronan this afternoon. It's a school holiday but Sara...because she is the boss of her school...does not get the day off!!! Pat and I were planning a restful day until last night when the kids all came over and we were informed! bwahhah! So it goes.1 -
Kathy don't feel bad for feeling relieved he is gone now. That is not how I would want to be remembered. So hard on his family. He was still so young. And Chris said it best, we are sisters here. Growing old is often filled with sadness. But there is always joy first. I hope you can make Jamaica. Ron needs you. Hugs
Chris I did get it done. The music was horrible. So I used my own. Sorry about your restful day.
Kathy I forgot to say, read your post. No excuses. Clean out the junk and don't buy it. And if you can plan your meals. Prepare them ahead of time. Drink plenty of water.
Love you all

Thanks ladies. I’m definitely considering meal planning especially as it gets colder and I hate going to the grocery store. Going to be a soup and one pan meals going into winter with loads of veggies. Have to drink more water and of course more workouts.
Going to get up and do the second workout before mom gets up. Trying to decide on a challenge for the month.
Have a good weekend.
Kathy1 -
I had my trainer today at noon. We had Collin this morning and have Ronan this afternoon.
Tomorrow I will walk to the post office and back.
Sunday we will have both boys for three hours while SIL has a final in one of his nutrition classes.
Chris0 -
Kathy I need to drink more water also. Drinking is such a chore. I forget all the time. What are you thinking of for your challenge?
Chris I hope he passes. So stressful.
Cleaned tanks tonight. Hope I can walk tomorrow. Practiced Spanish tonight.
Shelley0 -
Thanks, Shelley. Have fun with your tanks today.
I got 5.40 miles done in 148 mins today. It was beautiful out there and there were soooo many people and puppies and cars!! CRAZY!!! Maybe it was cuz I didn't walk until almost 10:30!!!

I was going to walk this morning but it turned out we finally were able to get into our hairdresser for hair cuts this morning. It was crazy, I'm tellin' you!! Then we had Ronan and Collin for a couple of hours so Sara and Pete could have some time together. ugh!! So tired.
I have my trainer tomorrow at noon.

I hope they did Christmas shopping. It sneaks up on us so quickly! I bet you saw some really cute puppies. There is a woman who is always out walking a little white dog. I see them as I go to work. She moves really fast for her advanced age, for most ages actually.
Walked the mall some tonight. Rocky needed to go to best Buy for a new watch. I found the new Elvis movie in 4K. My mom will love it. We had a great dinner tonight. Steak, salad and yellow potato. Yummy. I have been still searching for a new tank. I emailed one company about their 200 gallon set-up. Wider than I would like but shorter than most.
So I thought I would set up a new mini challenge. Still do some form of squats or exercises. But let's try to lose 10% of what we weigh now by Christmas. That would be 15 pounds for me. Who is in?
Shelley0 -
I've wanted a puppy since we lost Brandy, my Keeshond. She was beautiful and fun. BUT, then I see what my trainer goes thru and what Sara goes thru, then I'm glad we have Grandsons and not pets...altho we could consider them our pets...right???
Saw my trainer for an hour today.
Our weather here in Northern California is very strange. Rained...drizzled...yesterday, three times!!!! Crazy!
Chris0 -
Chris I know they are a commitment. But so are grandkids. And husbands. I decided my life would be less without my pups. I thought for sure you would have one at retirement.
We had almost 30 arrests this weekend. Made for a busy Monday.
Shelley0 -
I thought so, too, Shelley, but not yet.
I decided to see how long it was going to be before the sun came up this morning...darn thing us up before we were!!! Then I talked myself out of walking this morning.
I did finish the newest Reacher novel. 
Chris0 -
Oh my Chris, I did that last Saturday. I didn't get up till well after sunrise. I was reading and puzzling. And we have a 3 day weekend coming up.
Today was easier. Only 7 in custody for initials. And no new arrests out of adult drug court. Worked late. I covered the commissioner meeting with Angie.
Rocky made a hamburger soup. Pretty tasty. Not to spicy either.
Shelley0 -
I need Rocky's hamburger soup recipe, Shelley. It just might be something Ronan would like. If it's easy-peasy, it just might be something I would like!!
Going to see my trainer at noon for 60 min workout after we have Collin Duty.
Have a great Wednesday, my friends.
Chris0 -
One turnip. One rutabaga. 3 carrots. One onion. 2 yellow potatoes cup frozen peas and corn. 1 pound burger, cooked and drained. 6 cups water, 2 tablespoons of better than bullion teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cumen, 1/2 tablespoons salt and small can tomato paste. 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper. One tablespoon minced garlic. Flour rue to thicken a little. Simmer about 2 hours. Hope he got it all. He kind of just throws things together.
I think that is easy peasy also.
Night all, jury trial tomorrow

Busy week and no appetite. Just need to add exercise in the mix. We leave tomorrow morning on vacation. I will watch the food and alcohol and get in as many steps as possible.
Have a good week ladies.

It's a school holiday tomorrow!!
I got 3.30 miles done in 65 mins this morning then had Collin Duty then had Ronan Duty.
Chris0 -
Kathy you will have to take photos and post them. I love Karen and yours trips. So watch the late snacking and drinking. You got this.
Chris I am off tomorrow also. Spent several hours trying to design an aquarium. I am so indecisive! Like a kid in a candy shop and must only choose one! Why are the boys there at different times usually? I must be missing something.
Trial is over. Eating went well. No chocolate today. Spent time in the hot tub. Dinner with friends tomorrow. I hope to get a workout in and a walk.
Shelley0 -
Shelley, we get Collin about 7:45 until around noon. Pete has clients he trains in his garage until noon then he comes and gets Collin. Pete drops Ronan off at school after he drops Collin off with us.
Patrick picks Ronan up from school around 2:20. Pat and Ronan do homework and play games. Pat will usually take Ronan home around 5:00 p.m. unless Sara picks him up when she's finished at work.
We have had both boys at the same time and it is really hard for us now that we are older!!!
My trainer is sick today so I am having a total DO NOTHING BUT READ AND DRINK COFFEE DAY!!!!
I hope you all are having a great Friday!

WOW, Kathy!! Beautiful!!

Hi ladies! I didn't get to post while I was on my trip to Brazil last week. It was such long days I barely kept up :-)
Kathy - I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sending you lots of ❤️ and positive energy. Hopefully you still get to do some of your planned trips to get some relaxation.
I had a very good trip to Brazil. Except at the end when my flight was canceled and it took me 24 hours to get home. But all in all it was a very good trip and we achieved what we wanted to for my team. The one real challenge was the food. Oh my goodness so much delicious foods. And of course because I was the special guest everybody have to bringing any more food and wanting to see if I loved it. It's such a beautiful culture in Brazil. I don't speak Portuguese but I understand a lot of Spanish so I could understand a good portion of what they said. I had a translator also. But oh my goodness I need a detox! It was fantastic and delicious, but the scale is not my friend this morning.
This is my last trip of the year thank goodness! I really need to lean into some pretty heavy exercise as I've really not done a ton over the last few months. So really planning on leaning into that, slow on the alcohol, and just doing all the right things that we know we need to do. I have my annual doctor well check mid-December and I need to get my act together or I'm going to get a lecture :-)
Busy day ahead here but I am going to figure out exercise before I get started. It's 4:00 a.m. and I've been up since 2:00 a.m. due to the time zone difference. I also went to bed at 7:00 p.m. :-) Hope everybody has a wonderful weekend!

Beach day!

Karen, glad you are home safe and sound.
Kathy, you look happy and beautiful!!
I got 5.35 miles done in 102 mins to the post office and back this morning. It was beautiful out there!
Chris0 -
Karen that sounds like a diet disaster. But so many memories. I am so inspired by what you do. All that overseas travel!
Chris that clears it up. Thanks
Kathy thanks for the photo. I do need you to give me a makeover and go to a beach together. Now with my white skin I will need a large umbrella.
Been really busy. Visiting friends. Shopping online
Shelley0 -
Having trouble posting the tank I bought. A water box Infinia 230.6. In white
