And I mean it is in the country, the nearest store which is asmall is 7 miles from her. Then it is 12 miles to a Walmart and larger stores. So just them and their longhorn cattle and all thier dogs. One of the female just had puppies 7 of them. Any one wont a cattle hearding dog? They have 6 other dogs all the same breed. She plans on getting some baby ducks.

Went to my step son's house for dinner and played a little Wii. :laugh: Came home, had a video call with my son who lives in Portland, Oregon and now I am going to chill out and watch some TV.

Talk to everyone tomorrow, have a good evening and a better tomorrow.

Good evening....I did not do anything today....Just watched the race....

I do not exercise on Sunday...only because I exercise Monday thru Saturday....My old body needs a day off..:happy:

I did talk to my daughter in Beaverton, Oregon....She is having sleepless nights due to my granddaugher's new hamster...seems like the little thing has his days and nights mixed up..:laugh:

My roast in the crock pot was very good...I used BBQ sauce and onions in the pot with the roast....House smelled really good...

I was going to go to Target this morning...but since I have to have my CT Scan at 8am tomorrow morning..I will go after I am finished with that.....So today I will just putter around the house...

CALIECAT

Got back from Dallas. got my brace order, will pick it up Friday morning. my insurance will pay all but 11 dollors on it and she says it will make me feel full all the time and be sure to remember to eat for I wont be hungry. That will be the day. But I hope so. She said it work like a corset. I have an old brace that I got when I fracture my tailbone. But it was the most horrible thing. But this one is more stremlined should be better.

Have a nice day----Marie

I'll be thinking good thoughts for you tomorrow when you get your CT scan.


:flowerforyou: :bigsmile: Marie---Your new back brace sounds like it could be the ticket to better things.

It rained last night and washed the snow away. We got our car back from the shop so the dogs will get to go to the dog park again.

I'm getting to like the new exercise bike better and better. My legs that can walk or line dance for hours are being seriously challenged by the bike. I am doing weight loss level 1 and feel wiped out at the end. I'll keep at it until it feels comfortable. I'm determined to meet the challenge.

good luck to all on your challenges. We can do it one day at a time.:flowerforyou:

CALIECAT

Barbie , what kind of bike did you get? I really don't have room for one. If this brace help my back I would really like to be able to walk further than I do.now.

Sandydur

Good Evening everyone.

Hope your back brace gives you some relief Marie and lets you walk easier. :flowerforyou:

We had a little snow last night, but my son came and shoveled for us and the sun did the rest.

Biggamma, my son lives right near Beaverton, such a small world. My son used to work at Intel and my daughter in law still does. Are you familiar with the area? Good luck with you cat scan tomorrow.

Barb, sounds like you are doing great and committing to your goals. :happy:

I am on track and have decided to boast it up a bit to see if I can lose a little more weight, I am at a standstill. :frown:

CALIECAT

Good morning

Lovely day here . should get around 70 today with a southern breeze. Jerry is going to work out in the garden today. [Good I will have the house to myself,,]

I can hardly wait till Friday to get my Back brace and see how comfotable it is. or not.

This morning I need to clean my freezer out . What a mess. can't find nothing in it. Wish I wouldn't buy so much.

You all seems to be doing just fine. Love to hear that.

Well goint to get up and get some work done.

:flowerforyou: :bigsmile: Our exercise bike is a Nordic Track C2si My husband researched different models online. I was a skeptic but now I like it. The seat was uncomfortable at first but after a few days it feels better. It is much more challenging than I expected even at the Level 1 weight loss level.

I still like walking best as an exercise.

I hope the back brace turns out great for you.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

GOOD MORNING/AFTERNOON

Well I went this morning and had the CT Scan....will get the results on the 17th....I know there is no change...but you know how doctors like to keep testing...guess they want to cover their butts in case somewhere down the line something happens...

I got sort of dizzy getting off of the table...never have before...but it did not last long..Guess I just got up to quick....usually I get up by myself so I take my time...this time the young man helped...got up faster...

Then I went to Target and the first thing I did was get some coffee to drink while I shopped....Had not had any yet.....It helped...

Now I just have to drink a lot today to wash the contrast/dye out of my system....:drinker: :drinker:

Did not really rain yesterday...just sort of spit a little.

Hope you all are having a terrific Tuesday.....:flowerforyou:

Good evening, been gone all day. just getting on the pc. And now the phone call we just got was Jim's sister telling us that his dad had another heart attack and he is now back in the hospital. This time, they transferred him to the large hospital, and the doctors there tell us that his heart is too weak for a pacemaker now. So, it is just a matter of time, maybe days.
They hope he can come home tomorrow.

take care all, I've been reading the posts. Marie, I hope you will like the brace

elli

i everyone - I'm elli - i finally figured out where to find the group! I've been reading the posts - it'll take me awhile to get to know everyone!
I live in Colorado - where we're having a very strange winter - it was 74 today........I'm kind of holding my breath waiting for a big snowstorm to hit - the east sure is getting slammed. And snow in Georgia!!!!
I'm kind of a work out nut - i try to go to the gym 3 times a week, do hot yoga once or twice and then walk on the days i don't get to do anything else. Today i didn't do a thing so i'm feeling fat! I'm renovating my house and after i helped one of my sons I had wood stripping to work on.........Anyway - i'm happy to be in the group - looking forward to getting to know you all! elli

Sandydur

Welcome Elli, hope you enjoy our posts, motivation and support we all give to each other.

Biggamma glad your cat scan went well and I agree, getting up too fast can make us all dizzy, especially since you hadn't eaten.

PJ, sorry to hear about Jim's dad, I hope he is not in any pain and can die comfortably at home. :brokenheart:

I took a day for myself today and went to a casino. Played some Let it Ride and Three Card Poker,
I came home a winner, so it was a good day. It is my birthday next week and I can't go that day , so I went today. I don't go very often, so it was a big treat. :laugh:

I didn't eat well and didn't exercise today, but will get back on track tomorrow.

Have a good evening. :happy:

barbiecat

:flowerforyou: :bigsmile: Welcome Elli, I'm glad you joined the group. I admire your exercise routine. I line dance three days a week, walk my dogs on the hill at least once a day and take them to the dog park where they run and I walk for 20-40 minutes about 4 days a week. We just bought a Nordic Track exercise bike and I'm getting to like it a lot.

Keep in touch. MFP has been great for me. :bigsmile: There's a lot of support and encouragement.:bigsmile:

CALIECAT

Hello Everyone!

Sorry I have not checked in! My wife has had a bad cold but is getting better now. I been cooking, cleaning, shopping and all that stuff, so I have been busy. I have kept up with my workouts and am doing fine.

Looks like my oldest daughter is getting her contract to teach next year so that is a good thing. The youngest is going to see her over spring break. They are best friends. That really pleases me. Work has been very busy, tax season.

I am going to speak to a youth weight loss class next Monday about my weight loss and the journey. That should be fun. The parents will be there too. It is through one of the area hospitals. The weather here is finally improving some, but not quick enough for me! We may go to the casino on Sunday. We have some comps built up so it will be a cheap trip. I hope to get a little outside work done on Saturday, weather permitting.

Glad to see you new folks here, please make yourself at home!

Take care one and all!

Jeffrey
