Good evening, ladies,
A rainy day here again. Yesterday,however, was gorgeous and I went with a friend and her daughter to Busch Gardens for the day. At their urging I even joined them getting my face painted........a pink web with purple spiders!!! Saw shows, did several rides and haunted tours, a haunted train ride, and sky ride, and ate, not too badly, but still up a half pound. We were there until closing and I reached what I think of as "Barbie territory" on my pedometer, almost 20,000 a new p.r. for me!!!
Katla.........Congratulations on reaching goal........you have worked hard; is there a reward in your future? Wow, that sure was a low bs for hubby!!! Glad it turned out OK.
Linda.........Happy, happy birthday!!!!
Cheryl..........Gorgeous horse; how old is he? Name? How's your dd doing?
Vicki.............Glad your dad has recovered and is continuing to do so.
Heather...........Awesome plank time!!!! Hope you get the money sooner rather than later!
Michele........I am a big fan of Publix too. We had them in S.C. and I do miss them.
Linda (Severen).........Is that a Chinese Crested? Is it yours?
Take care all;

I had a good time with my daughter even though I didn't find much. We went to several shops. I tried to go with a good attitude and immediately got o the size 14s in jeans. I don't know if the ones I bought at Walmart were sized wrong or what but so far they are the only ones I have found that have fit me. So I got 2 pair or size 16s. I never could find a top I liked. I still like shirts and not blouses and I am just not finding them in consignment shops. I also was on the lookout for a new coat. The one I have worn for the past several years is a 3X. It was a good warm coat and I know it will be appreciated in the clothing bank. It isn't a current style but is warm. All I could find were these short, waist length styles. I am 63 years old and want warmth and comfort, my legs and hips need warmth! But it was till fun spending the afternoon with her. She is a night person so isn't perking at all until noonish so I mt her at 2:15! Half my afternoon is gone by then. My husbands wants supper at 5 and he does not bend that hour.
Have a good night everyone. Everyone stays strong, we are all in this together. Joyce0 -
Katla..., wat a scary moment for you and dh.
Linda...Happy birthday!!!
DD is looking for reflective clothing for mr. toddler. Now that the days are getting shorter and one still wants to get outside. We had such a great time at the 100 year celebration at the old railroad tracks today. Can you imagine the look on a lil 2 yr. old, s face when he gets to ride a train? What joy!
My back is sore, but I am determined to keep walkin/jogging.
Have a good evening!
Renny0 -
Good for you Rebelrenny! Hope your back is better soon! I am sorry to say that I have not been as motivated the last few days. But I bought my new walking shoes and plan to break them in tomorrow. I am enjoying your posts ladies- keep them coming! They are great motivators.0

Renny.........When my dd was 3 we went by train from Charleston to Jacksonville. As we were boarding, thanks to "choo-choo" books and such, she exclaimed loudly, "But mommy, I want to ride in the coal car!".........every adult within hearing range burst out laughing. You just gave me a chuckle when I remembered it; they are so innocent and in awe at that age.

Katla - I wish you lived near me, I am always trying to find folks to help keep mine ridden. And I am having a really hard time coming up with a new name for my new guy. His name is Nate and I don't like that one. We've thought of Redford (because I have a Newmann) and Ringo, Rango, Tango, and Bingo. Bingo because after having searched the sale horses for months, when I saw his picture I said "Bingo, that's the one." And a friend suggested Brando, And Eli, and Cash, and Dilinger. I keep thinking I'm going to know it's for him when I hear it. He is just so handsome I want a name that describes how majestic and loved he is.
Jodios - the best thing that ever happened to the office catering is the infiltration of the folks from India. We have more vegetarian options than any other now.
Linda - Thanks.
Megblair - I am so happy that not everyone is tired of my horsey pictures.
Now where is Laura??0 -
cws4me - welcome back! So glad you had such a great time on vacation!
Tina - happy birthday to your daughter. Our condo is in Titusville. We usually go down in February, Vince has been going to the Daytona 500 for about 30 years now. I haven't gone that long, tho. While the kids were little, I usually stayed home with them while he went. But now that they are out of the house, I go down and we make a mini-vacation out of it.
Pat - one of the cats we used to have would NOT let Vince sleep if the cat even SAW the bottom of his dish. There'd be lots of food on the side, but he could see the bottom and that made it terrible....lol
Joyce - I was too tired last night to even mention it, but I totally agree, you should send that hoodie back and get something you're happy with. It's not like you're going to have it for a short time or it was on a really really good sale, so I'd send it back
Pat - I'm the same way as you, I'd probably feel so bad for that lady. Of course, if it was me accidentally bumping into someone, I'd be feeling like she did. But I can totally understand your feeling
katla - how scary! Glad dh is better. thank G** for those emergency personnel. I'd be scared, too, especially since this is something that can be controlled.
momc4sons - welcome!
Did an hour of yoga today. Tomorrow I think I'll probably do some training games on the Wii.
Don't completely understand it, but this flu shot has wiped me out. I'm so pooped right now that I'm going to lay down. Made some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and then some banana chocolate chip muffins. Went to bi-lo this a.m. and got some spaghetti squash. Didn't realize until I got home that one of them had a soft spot. So I'm trying cutting that part out and roasting the rest of it. Have to go to the church today and get the donations for the soup kitchen.
Linda - I usually don't flour my pan, but I do use a non-stick spray. Well, when I made the cake this time, I let it sit in the pan for almost 2-1/2 times that I did the last time. It still stuck, but not nearly as much as the first time. I think I'll just have to let it sit in the pan for longer. I know I have another cake recipe that you have to let sit in the pan for something like an hour or so. Happy Happy birthday.
I found something new to have. I many times will have some of the Nestle No Sugar Added hot cocoa (this is the only one I've ever found that doesn't have aspertame in it). Anyway, the box says to mix it with 8oz of water. To me, there's just something "boring" about just water. So I was adding a tsp of CoffeeMate. Well.....the other day I decided to try something different. I had some unsweetened plain almond milk (30 calories for 8oz), so I added that to the hot cocoa. OK, it might be higher in the calories (but, really, not that much), but it sure gives it more of a "creamy" texture.
grandmalle - glad you're home safe and sound, but so sorry about hubby.
Meg - that's so interesting about the mist flu. I was watching Dr. Oz the other day and (this might have been recorded a while ago, I just DVR his shows and then watch them all at one time), he talked about there being a mist but he didn't mention about the chanace of getting sick. I would think he should have. Thanks for the tip about the burn stuff at Walgreens. I'll have to look for it. Got my flu shot yesterday. This year the shot is making me really tired. Guess this'll wear off. Two years ago I had a terrible reaction, chills, the whole 9 yards. Last year I didn't have any reaction at all. This year I'm just getting so tired all the time.
Juanita - that is so nice of you to make those afghans.
yanniejannie - awesome step count
Need to take a shower. Took a nap this afternoon, and am feeling a bit tired right now so after the shower I'll lay down.
Michele in NC0 -
HI!Got my labs back and am upset.Dr mentioned medication.The cholesterol is 203 and the LDL id elevated.
I said I`d like to work on diet and exercise again.
Any suggestions?
thanks Hugs
jane
Jane, I got so discouraged about ten years ago when the doctor wanted to put me on cholesterol medication but then he looked back at my old records and found that my cholesterol had been high even when I was in my 30's and at a healthy weight, so I reluctantly began medication.
:laugh: someone told me that the only way I could naturally have low cholesterol was to get different parents.:laugh: :laugh: High cholesterol is frequently hereditary and not the result of lifestyle.
:flowerforyou: Now I take a cholesterol lowering medication daily and my numbers are good and I've gotten over the resistance to taking a prescription.

I would love to help you keep your horse exercised, but geography is not on our side. I have naming strategies for my dogs. I like two syllables, seem partial to the letter S to start, but don't always do that. Over the years I've had a Sanford, Sucia, and Schooner. I also had a Sammy. Unfortunately, there were two little boys in our neighborhood named Sam. I'd yell at the dog and kids all over the neighborhood would cringe. LOL. When I was little I named my dog after a horse--Trigger. Good luck with naming your handsome guy..0 -
Read all the post but it's 11 pm way past bed time. A little over today but not to bad.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes.
See you all lighter
Linda in northern Ontario and yes it's snowing out.0 -
Hi everyone!
Wessecg I just love horses n riding one used to be my fave activity, despite a couple of tumbles….
Your horse reminds me of some I have ridden….. Sultan,he was the first time I went out of the riding school and galloped like the wind.
Then there was Prince, so regal in its bearing, all of us ladies in the riding club would try to reach the earliest to bag him for the ride
You have gone through quite a bit……. But here u r a new day and a new journey !
Yanniejannie how innocent n sweet kids can be! How’s the foot?
Katla Wow! Great going….. please share some more tips, I need to shed 10 kgs but am hovering here since the last year.Kudos to you.
I was very glad to know u managed your hubby’s emergency as well as you did. He’s a lucky guy. Why do men always act tough?
Meg so glad to know u r doing well. I would be proud of a daughter like that too and crowing about it from the rooftops. Bless her.
Michelle whats the secret of your never ending energy? After reading each of your posts I feel charged up to attack my chores
Linda wish u a very Happy Birthday!
Robin the grand kids are such dolls
Sylvia your dog is so cute. And u have such a knack of narrating all his adventures. He must have thought he would be rewarded for getting the giraffe n his bowl out in the front yard…. Maybe he was playing marooned on a lost island
The first change I made this week was to exercise everyday, however little time I had. Now have to stick to it. I am saying no to sweets, mostly successful. Biggest difficulty is to get over the host feeling bad..... Guess have to practice hard and be ready with a strategy.
Have a great sunday everyone.
Anamika from Mumbai0 -
Good Sunday Morning Ladies! Busy Day today, Church this morning, coming home to finish making Elizabeth's costume (little red riding hood) then off to Daughters BD dinner, wish me luck on eating right, I looked at the menu on line, very little to choose from that is healthy, actually looked like only side salad :frown: . But I will figure it out, maybe just order veggies. But NO cake :sad:
Linda--Happy Birthday
Katla--Glad your Hubby is doing better.
Michele-- Daytona is about 1hr east of where I live. Titusville about 1.5 to 2hrs, depending on traffic. I work in Daytona every other week, and have a friend that owns a condo over there that he rents out, but when it is empty we stay over there for the weekend on occasion. Thank you for the Daughters BD wishes.
Meg--I'm diabetic too, it will get easier as you go.
Hope everyone has a Blessed and Wonderful Day. :flowerforyou:0 -
Really, really, REALLY didn't feel like gymming this morning. Oooohhhhhh, so tired. But I got up and at it and completed it all, even if a bit on the slow side. Even did some strength training afterwards. Not bad for a Sunday morning!
It's always hard when I take an antihistamine to help me sleep. Takes ages to wear off.
I think I'm ready to drop another lb. Everyone hold their breath for me. You will be able to hear the clang across the world when it drops. It's hovering on the brink.:laugh:
My DDIL asked me if I was going to lose any more. I said 3 more lbs. Really I think it will be 7 to take me to 60 lost. 3 will be 4 stone, which is a nice round figure, but so is 60!!! :laugh: . If I can get into the nine stones it will be the first time since 1989!:bigsmile:
I think some people are worried I am aiming to go too low, but my BMI will still be very healthy. They are just not used to seeing me look like a gym bunny!!:laugh: With my clothes on I do think I look quite good, but naked is a whole different story! I have to keep telling myself I am 64. A year sgo I felt 74, now I feel 34!:drinker: :bigsmile:
I looked up some partridge recipes, but I have asked DH to cook them. I just have had enough planning and cooking. I have done nearly all the cooking in the last year and a half as I can keep a check on the calories, but he can't go too wrong with a game bird. Very lean. The bacon it's wrapped in will be greasy, but I shall not have potatoes, just veg.
Going to pull the carrots we have been growing in a crate all season. Hope they are good - when it was hot we had to water them every day.
Going to plan our trip to London in January for my friend's 60th party. As we are not having an 'exotic' trip in Feb I want to make a special couple of days of it. Nice hotel, posh meal out, gallery trips etc. I have 2 for 1 vouchers for exhibitions, so must get organised. Even though I lived there for 40 years I still love London and there is always a wonderful exhibition to go to. Flashing the cash at my favourite restaurant, with the best service in the world, is always a treat, but you do have to book months ahead! I will try not to feel guilty about the money by telling myself we are not going to Sri Lanka, which is what I really wanted to do. This is the last time I am going along with DH's feelings though or I will get very resentful and that is NOT GOOD!
I am still up for NYC for my 65th next October. Should have my ex's money by then!!:bigsmile: Soon as New Year is over I will start planning.
Love to all. Sun and showers here, but still nice and warm.
Heather in Hampshire UK0 -
Heather- If you come to NYC in October, maybe any MFP friends who could could meet up for a quick get together. I don't know what your plans or time-frame would be, but would love to meet you in person. I am about 5 hours away, but my son lives in Manhattan and we try to get down to see him frequently. With enough notice I could get there. I love hearing of all your travels and the delicious meals you fix. Your strength and attitude are very motivating!!
Linda- Happy birthday a little late! Hope you find many more golden items in your life!!
Meg- It sounds like your dd has become a very good cook.
Katla- Glad your DH is okay. That can be scary.
Cheryl- Welcome back! I love your horse stories and pictures. DH has a friend with horses that has invited us to ride, but we haven't made it yet. I would love to , but have virtually no experience with horses. It is on my bucket list. Will remind DH and see if we can get there soon.
I have been in such a funk lately that I haven't been logging. Exercise has been more sporatic than it should be. I have hurt my back, but I know walking helps it. I have backed off on the weight training until it is better because I don't want to injure it further. I do see a chiro regularly, but it is still not quite right. I just got new walking shoes that are more supportive. The old one had way too many miles on them!! Today is beautiful outside. I am going to go for a very long walk in between laundry, chores, lesson plans and grading! Best get moving!
Hope everyone has a great day!!

.
If you are going to an actual restaurant that serves dinners, you can order a meal that is healthy. If there is anything on the menu with a chicken breast you can order a plain grilled chicken breast. If there are any sorts of fancy salads you can order a side of sliced tomatoes and/or sliced cucumbers......also asked for plain steamed vegetables...and if you order a side salad or dinner salad, make sure they leave off the cheese, bacon bits, and croutons and bring the dressing on the side.
If you're going to a fast food restaurant, then eat a healthy meal first and just have water and enjoy your family.
:bigsmile: Barbie0 -
Happy Sunday All :flowerforyou:
Heather---your DH said you looked 42..that is fantastic...LOL...now can you bottle whatever helped you thru this and mail it to me...Take Care!!
Deb---you sound like you enjoy walking..my DH can walk for 3hrs...goes thru a lot of walking shoes :noway:
Linda--- Happy belated birthday wishes!!! :drinker: (water toast)
I am sorry I haven't been on much.. personal issues I am dealing with has set me back some :sick:
........had my DGS's over for a night..that can always give me some laughs over their antics..I was even giving the youngest a ride on my walker..he thought it was a hoot..later we all had a stuffy throwing battle...the oldest on one side my youngest with me....that was a wonderful playtime ...I thank God everyday for my D..S...and GS...and my DH...I am a hard person to live with....And they understand me...they also can get ...frustrated...confused....but I know they love me ...we haven't done anything this summer...oh wait.... my hubby has been going to the hockey games with MD and her BF makes me happy to see him enjoying himself.....I have my books
October Goals;
To get my B**t out of its flunk and begin to take this losing weight thing serious :grumble:
To lose any amount of pounds
We will see how this ones does...Everybody have a happy Sunday
Liz fr Halifax NS0 -
Bump til after church. Been away too long and need to reconnect. Happy Sunday
Sue in TX0 -
Liz: I am happy you had a good time with your grandsons. They are lucky to have a grandma who will play with them. Years ago I slid into a funk after my mom passed away without even realizing. i went to a psychologist who prescribed a medication. It turns out that this medication is used for depression, anxiety, and attention deficit disorder. I still take it every day after 17 years. It is still helping with both ADD and stress. I am not advocating this particular medicine for you, but there may be something out there that could help with things. It may be worth investigating with your doctor. If you want to know the medicine name, i'll be happy to share it privately. I was also troubled by seasonal affective disorder, SAD, and solved that with a combination of daylight temperature light bulbs in my home, exercise, and calcium citrite/vitamin D (which is also good for bone density.) Calcium carbonate, like is in TUMS, doesn't help the bones as much. I've only encountered one thing in the past few years that is as powerfully helpful, and that is this group on MFP. Good luck to you.:bigsmile:
Katla, who lives better through chemistry.0 -
Happy sun.Still having issues with hip pain.Opted to stay home and rest and skip walking to church.
Barbie.this was the 1st time my cholesterol was up,so that is why I opted to do more with diet and exercise.
Hope everyone has a good day.

jane (FR IL)0 -
Hello ladies! I hope everybody is well this morning. I was sitting at the breakfast table reading all the posts and glanced outside to see the giraffe out in the yard again. It wasn't there five minutes ago, and I didn't hear a thing. I'll send Bill out to get it later.
Meg- I had a similar experience in a store called 5-7-9 in Wichita many years ago. I was looking for a gift and a snotty sales clerk came up to me and announced loudly that they didn't have anything for me in their store. I ran out in tears. I'm glad the playoffs are over. I used to love baseball so much that I planned my enlistment in the Air Force to fit around the 1973 World Series. In recent years I haven't watched much, but I do enjoy watching the series. As a teen, my goal in life was to be the first female in the majors, and to be the catcher for the Oakland A's.
Michelle - I wish I had a group of friends to play mahjong with. I play it on the ipad all the time, but it would be more fun with friends. I have a group of friends who used to get together once a month for "game night" but we have only done it once in the last year. We usually play Farkle, Apples to Apples, or scrabble. I'm not one who appreciates Dr Oz. I watched a few of his shows and he seems to be somebody who advocates trying all kinds of weird stuff to lose weight, every show seemed to be about it, but then one show he was criticizing a woman for using laxatives for weight loss. He said he couldn't understand why somebody would do that, and I thought, doesn't he realize the pressure the media - especially HIM - put on women to lose weight? I thought he was kind of a hypocrite. So I don't watch him.
Tazgirl - I get a flu shot every year, and it makes me feel invincible! I hate to get the flu.
Jmkmomm - I ordered a bedspread from Penneys once and the color was not as pictured, so I took it back to the store. The clerk told me it didn't reach it's true color until it was washed, so I took it home and washed it. It still wasn't right, so I took it back again. The same clerk said she couldn't take it back because it had been washed! GRRR!
Jane - I'm sorry about your hip pain. I have that problem too, and the last few days have been especially bad. I'm hoping it's the weather.
Cheryl - I love horses! More pictures please!
Kayla - amen to the better living through chemistry. I would not be here without my meds.
Have a great Sunday!
Sylvia0 -
Thank you for all the lovely compliments.. Sometimes I wish I could inspire myself as much as I seem to inspire others!
My dress turned out to be fine so I took home the 12 and got a refund on the 14. M&S sizes are big so I guess that is a US size 10. I have rarely been that size since my teens. I will wear it with thick tights and boots. And some kind of necklace.
Unfortunately as we were coming out of our drive the daughter of next door backed out of their drive in a rush and banged into our wheel arch area. Some body damage. Of course she said that daddy would sort it so we have left it for now, but daddy hasn't come round yet. He may try to pay us off without an insurance claim, but it will be a body work job and a hired car while it is being repaired. What a hassle. Just because some kid wasn't looking where she was going.
Cooked some beetroot this pm so I'm looking forward to my salad with whole grains tomorrow. I've just ordered five more from Amazon, along with ten packets of the porcini mushrooms. They are ready cooked so I just add them to an omelette or stir them into some half fat creme fraiche for an instant sauce. Magic! They went out of stock so now they are back I ordered a lot!
Bye for now folks,

afternoon ladies,
Linda- Happy Belated Birthday!!!
well I went grocery shopping this morning,came home put that away, baked some cookies for the DH,got burgers made and in the freezer, bless the DH , he finished the lawn, im getting dinner together.. my neck and shoulders are very sore so maybe will get out the heating pad...
I start getting antsy if there are to many people in a store so I got out just in time... I didnt get to the gym today, and have only gotten about 4,000 steps in so far, I am beat from traveling and soreness and all..
I did spend 75.00 at walmart on myself though, bought some polar fleece yoga pants, 2 bright lighweight hoodies for when I walk early morning and another pair of work out pants that match one of the hoodies,, and a fleece nightgown for fall/winter the others I had were 2 x- all the stuff I bought today was 12-14 , what a difference 0 -
Happy Sunday, All!
Another gorgeous day. We are getting spoiled. I did hear colder weather is moving in later this week, ugh. Why is fall so darn short? I just adore the leaves changing colors, the crisp mornings & warm afternoons, and the fresh apples.
We are celebrating here in the Boston area. Red Sox are going to the World Series! I stayed up until 1am watching. I feel tired and hung over today-and all I drank was water! I remember when I was a lot younger I could stay up all night-and go to work no problem! Those days are sure over...
Going now to walk dogs. Tons of stuff to do around house, but it is too nice out! Going to enjoy it while I can. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
Critter Sue0 -
Blessed Sunday Morning, Ladies- I missed church this morning because I woke up with such a nasty headache. I went back to sleep, and the second wake-up was better, but I had missed singing with the choir. Oh, I might be in trouble w/ the other sopranos..
I did not have a good day yesterday. I was overly-critical of myself, other people, my projects, and my eating was totally out of control. I am not sure why I was such a mess, but I will be trying to figure it out so I don't have to repeat it!
I have two cleaning projects that I have been putting off that really need to get done. I have to pull my refrigerator and stove out of their cubbyholes and clean behind them, and I have to go out and clean out the extra freezer in the storage room. Yuck! Nasty! Icky! :sick: I want to win the Lottery and hire someone to do both of these jobs!!! Ok- I am done whining now. I have to make room in the extra freezer because I volunteered to store some of the turkeys the church needs to buy for the community dinner. It seems as though the industrial sized freezers at the church are not large enough when three different groups at church all decide to do fund raisers and missions that require accumulating frozen foods during the same month of the year! Communication would be a good thing! :laugh:
Mom- Welcome! I only have 1 cat at the moment, but my son tells everyone that he knows I will eventually turn into the Crazy Cat Lady w/ 40 cats & he Does Not want to have to clean out the litter boxes! :bigsmile:
Linda- You are right, my Guardian Angel was working overtime to keep me from falling. I think God gives some of us (can you say "Klutz") a couple of extra G.A.'s because He knows we are going to need them! Is it your birthday? Happy Birthday! :flowerforyou: The Gold is in the Grandkids and all of your memories..... The Golden Years are what we make of them, I believe, but a little real gold (coins, bonds, stocks, necklaces, whatever!) would surely be fun to have at our age, wouldn't it! :laugh:
Have fun at your party. Glad you met your goal of seeing numbers in the One-derfuls!
Renny- Congratulations on your chip trail run! :flowerforyou:
Grandmallie- Welcome Home! :flowerforyou: Glad you enjoyed your vacation. Now, don't work yourself sick trying to catch up with everything to do around the house! Tell Hubby to take care of himself and get better soon!
Sylvia- Giraffe? What am I missing? :huh:
Ok- Time to go and do something efficient and productive. Have a great day, Ladies.
Pat (Phoo in Az)0 -
Pat - Bruno dragged a huge stuffed giraffe out through the doggie door the other day. It's three times his size and twice as big as the door, but he is one determined little guy. We talked about it and he said he wouldn't do it again, but this morning he did.
Sylvia0 -
We went into Portland this morning so DH could take his cell phone into the genius bar at Apple, and the drive in was cold and foggy. We encountered roadblocks everywhere we turned one we arrived in Portland.
Today was evidently the Leukemia Run. I wish they’d post alternate routes when they close off a bunch of roads. :grumble: The last time we went in for a Genius visit it was the Portland Marathon. The marathon route was a LOT less disruptive. We eventually found our way there but were late. It took the genius about 10 minutes to teach DH how to fix the problem he was having with his phone. We love the Genius bar folks. And we eventually found our way home. Now the sun is out and the day is promising to be a good one. :bigsmile: DH is still working on the boat in the driveway. He’s completely redoing the wiring before trying to start the engine. He believes his older brother wired it, may he rest in peace. The amazing thing is that it worked for years with that rat’s nest of wire. When DH finishes with it, it will be good for another 40 years and it will be easy for the next person to understand the wiring system. (NOT me, of course.)
Sylvia: On the same Dr Oz page as you. A little over a year ago he was promoting green coffee extract tablets for weight loss, and I tried it. I lost weight, but was chronically tired and spent a lot of time in the bathroom. It was a diuretic and the weight loss lasted until I drank water. The next thing he was advocating was a raspberry product. I think the man is for sale to the highest offer and recklessly promotes useless items to the public.:devil:
Grandmallie: Buying smaller clothes is the best NSV ever in my book. It is VERY motivating. Congratulations!:flowerforyou:

Happy belated birthday Linda!
Grandmallie - glad you made it home safe & sound. Sounds like you had a great time.
Pat - I'm so glad you didn't fall
I went to the Y both yesterday & today for aquafit. My DD actually did the class this morning with me. I think she liked it. Weigh in was this morning and lost 0.7 lbs. Not much but at least it's in the right direction. Only about 1.5 lbs and I'll be back down to what I was when I joined the Y 6 weeks ago.
Somehow I've strained my neck and shoulder. I haven't been able to do much since.
Can't believe the weekend is over so soon and back to work tomorrow.
Have a great evening. Sandy from ON 0
