    Ah... posted something a little more politically incorrect than I wanted to leave up, so deleted. :D That's what I get for posting something my big brother sent me!

    More lifting and carrying and dragging (when the boxes are too heavy for me to lift). Lots of upper body work. I haven't logged it as exercise, but I suppose I could. Lots of walking back and forth. Lots of standing, reaching, bending.

    Mollie in TN and other new ladies, welcome. :) We are a busy group, but please don't be intimidated. Jump in on any conversation you want to. You'll find many different ideas and suggestions for not only weight loss, but health in general. Both physical and emotional. ;)

    Heather - Your basil plant is awesome. How old is it? The little container I got from the grocery store has about a dozen little stalks in it - great idea about potting some up separately. I'll give it a few more days, maybe make another batch of pesto and see if any survive. So very happy hearing about your adventures and life returning to normal.

    Tracey - I stopped by the wood scrap bins yesterday morning - not much there for me to bring home and add to the firewood pile. But every time I stop there I think of you and your craft projects and how I found some really neat large pieces last year. Love your jewelry hangers.

    Allie - congrats on the weight loss, you are doing so well despite your dietary challenges with your kidneys. So glad you have Dan nearby to help you with things.

    Barbie - what a great opportunity to over things with Jake's daughter, and a new vacuum and some housecleaning to boot. ;) Choosing an executor and POA can be a challenging decision and you folks made the right one. Luckily my executor and POA "T" lives close by and I go over things with her constantly, and I want her input on making decisions around here. I don't want her to have to sort out a mess if I die tomorrow.

    Eat, Fast and Live Longer - The Every Other Day Diet: do any of you who watched this documentary by Michael Mosley recall his interview with Dr. Krista Varady, in Chicago? She was researching the "Every Other Day Diet" where participants ate normally (whatever they wanted!) one day then ate 500 calories the next day, then repeated that pattern. It was successful and easy for most to follow once they got the hang of it.

    I found a free .pdf version of the book if anyone is interested (hope this link works):

    https://ia801500.us.archive.org/6/items/the-every-other-day-diet-pdfdrive/The Every-Other-Day Diet ( PDFDrive ).pdf

    Reminder to please get me your Weekly Check-In info by noon tomorrow. TIA <3

    Much more I wanted to comment on but I need to head out to the shop and spiff up the mower while I'm thinking about it.

    Did a bosu 4 in 1 DVD today (just half, I’ll do the other half another day) then went for a walk in the neighborhood. I’ve learned that even early in the a.m., I need to take my water bottle with me. Then went to WalMart for a few things I can’t get at the other WalMart. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any of the cottage cheese I wanted. Oh, they had a much smaller (and more expensive) size. But I can wait.

    Decided to return all of the shorts and then make a new order for a smaller size. The one I was going to return I’m buying two different sizes and I’ll just return the one I don’t want. What a pain!

    One of the ladies last night had some clams so I took the shells for around our pool. I have an area where we just have shells. I get a lot of them from the Canaveral seashore and this area reminds me of FL

    Heather – Jess and Vince are like John, in and out of the store. I like to browse, you never know what you’ll find. And which is cheaper??? I’m constantly amazed at how much you do so soon after the surgery. You sound so much better

    Ordered more of the protein bars from Amazon. 10 grams of protein and only 100 calories with none of that artificial sugar

    barbie – what a wonderful gift! I always appreciate getting gifts I can use

    Mollie TN – welcome! This forum has been compared to a kitchen table that we all sit around and talk about everything that affects us because our lives affect how we eat. And you get some really good ideas here. I’m so sorry about your injury.

    KJ – feel better fast. As you know, get lots of rest and hydrate!

    Jess seems to be doing well planting onions, peppers, and other stuff. I don’t know where she got the gardening thing from...certainly not me. I do wish she would come here and plant some plants for me. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll live. On that note...the plants I planted haven’t died so far. So far. Yea me!!

    who is going out to the pool, then will probably return the shorts later this afternoon. It’s supposed to rain. Supposedly

    Happy birthday Allie!

    Cloudy day today. Been to church. New pastor starts tomorrow and his first Sunday will be next week. We are having a pie feast to celebrate his first Sunday. He mentioned in a get to know him video that his favorite potluck food was strawberry-rhubarb pie. How many of those will be brought do you think? He said his favorite is cherry.

    Heather - so glad you are feeling so much better. That first hip must have been much the worst.

    Everyone take care, Sue in WA

    Lisa - it sounds like the branch hitting the ladder was an omen - made calling the "tree guy" a win! Glad it worked out well. Whew. By the way, I enjoyed that photo of Egg. One of the best kitties we ever had was a short-haired gray kitty with extra toes. Named him "Mitts" which fit. Loving and nice and a good mouser. He ruled the barn.

    Carol - when DH was here and I was in the midst of all kinds of things, I didn't have much time or interest in studying about health. I was preoccupied with HIS health. You have so much going on - your knees, your DH's health and now this tooth. Hope you can get an appointment real soon. Crossing fingers your dentist keeps open appointments in his schedule for emergencies. <3

    Allie! Happy 39th again! <3 Siri is one beautiful kitty. Give her a hug for me.
