morning gab

demorest

Just sitting here having my morning coffee. Its raining here in the big city of riddle, sitting by the window and can here life all around birds,frogs,goats,ect. My husband sleeps kinda late so I get a little lonely sitting here all by myself.Havent exersized since sunday cause of my back. Seen a challenge today tho, think I will get up and walk thru commercials too I should be able to handle that if I take it slow. Slow walking is better than no walking. Went to portland the other day-my husband had an app with his heart doctor, Everything went very well. Hopefully they will get him on the list soon,when that happens we will have to move up there,Boy is that going to be a change. I can here him stirring around, hes on life support and is plugged in to a power outlet and cant reach the coffee,Guess I will be nice and bring him some.Be back later to jack my jaw somemore,Have a great day out there today all.

Where is everyone today, Hope all is well! turned out to be a beautiful day today. What a surprise! Hubby went gold panning with my nephew so here I am. thought about getting a day pass for fishing but it cost 16.50 to much for my blood,A licence now is 33.00 I cant beleave it cost so much just to sit on the bank with a pole. Guess I better find something else to do today,Mabey I will just go over and walk around the pond to see if I can see any thing moving around. Something to get out of the house. Talk at ya later Have a wonderful day!!!!!

It rained here this afternoon but I got what needed to be done this morning. I was going to visit my friend and we were going to go to the grocery in the town she lives but she was aching so stayed in bed today. She did some heavy cleaning yesterday and was sore and didn't feel like moving. So I went to the grocery here and bought some things. Still need to go and buy some meats and cleaning supplies . Also need to go to the pharmacy yet and get my medicine. Found out I had high cholestrol and the doctor put me on zocor. I didn't do any extra exercise today other than getting in and out of my car going to pay bill and to the store, making several trips unloading my groceries and putting them away.
I would love to go fishing and the licence here for me is only $10 also you can fish at one of the parks here free.. BUt it will have to wait till a weekend when my son is off work and the day is nice. We have had 80 degree weather all week but now it has cooled off and is rainy.
Hope you ladies have a good day and evening.
Hugs, Ann

Well it took me about three hours to figure out how to get on the computer today I think it is time for it to go to the doctor!! A tech came by day before yesterday hooked his laptop to my motem and it said that I wasnt even hooked up to the internet,He said he doesnt even know how I'm even getting to fitnesspals. I dont either but i'm glad I'm able to I can at least log in my diary and my weight. I got on the scale this morning and finally lost 4lbs,YAH!!!. Half the time I wright it doesnt even post hopefully today it will. I cant beleave a fishing licence is only 10 dollars, I think here there is a pionier licence. Guess I will go down and check it out. I'm 50 now and I think now if I buy one Its good for the rest of my life so ive been told. Dont know what i'm gonna do today.Anybody got any Ideas? Yesterday went and walked around the pond didnt see any fish moving around tho,it was a beautiful day for a walk tho.I seen alot of turtles. Guess I will get up and moving around for the day, Hopefully I will be able to get back on later.HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!

Well it rained again today but cleared up this afternoon. I laid down and took a nap around 1 till about 3 then got up. Went to the pharmacy and the dollar store. Came home fixed some lunch and then later on went to my son's house. He cooked out today and so I ate dinner there. I had ate so much earlier in the day I was scared of going over my calorie allowance. But I am so proud of myself cause I didn't. Only took a forkful of the mac & cheese, potatoes and green beans ( just enough to taste) and ate 1 small chicken thigh.YEAH! then when I came home I ate a yogurt and drank some flavored water. I am so pleased with myself as it looks like I might succeed at sticking to this plan and losing this time. Don't know why I didn't want to count calories as I thought it would be hard. But now I am starting to be careful and pay attention to how many I eat as I don't want to eat too much. Church tomorrow so I won't be checking in till late
Have a good evening and great day tomorrow..

I didnt do much either yesterday. Sounds like you had a fun day with your son,I love it when we cook outside too. Your also doing really good on watching your calories. I have no dought that you will succeed with weight loss. I'm just sitting here having my morning coffee, We are watching our daughters dog this weekend she is a really good dog in fact the only exersize I got yesterday was playing fetch with her, only about 20 minutes but it wqas a good work-out. Dont know how to log it though. My daughter told me she is going to buy me a fishing licence today, I love to fish, not only is it fun its really good exersize. It is also a time I can just be by myself. I spend all of my time with david as he is not suppose to be left alone, When I need a break one of my kids will come over and stay with him Then I get to take off for a while, Now with a fishing licence I at least have a place to go. I'm gonna get off here for now Will check back in later,HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!

That is good your daughter is buying the license for you as I find it relaxing. Looking at the water and siting with a fishing line in the water. When my husband was alive we used to go after church on Sundays and take some food so we just had a picnic and fished. That was good times. I hope to be able to do that this year with my youngest son and grandson. Today I haven't did anything but attend church and now I am trying to fix me some dinner. Got lamb chops in the oven so need to get off here.
Can hardly wait till tomorrow to see if I have lost anymore weight. I would be so happy if I lost another 5 pounds but will take any loss. Just don't ever want to gain any back.
Catch ya later and post if I have anything new to report.
Hugs, Ann

Good morning everyone!! Got my licence but the weather wont permit fishing, not to mention I took a pretty hard fall yesterday. Guess I should change my name to clutso,haha. I am pretty sore today from it, but not hurting as bad as I thought I would. Think I will try to get back on the treadmill today tho I dont think I will push myself real hard today. Well has anybody lost anything this week? My weigh in isnt until this coming saturday, my fingers are crossed. Ive been putting ranch on my salads and as we know it has a lot of fat,so we were at a resteraunt a while back I ordered a salad and with it came a dressing I never seen before it was a chili sauce with vinigar mix it was so good (no fat and very low cal) I went and got the stuff to make it myself. cant wait to try it. I,m sure you will be in good enough shape to go fishing with your son and grandson. Fishing is also a great way to exersize, usually in the summer I lose weight from fishing but usually gain it back in the winter, but not this year. I have never had lamb chops. Dont even see them in the stores around here. Well done with my coffee so guess I will get off here for now,I'll be back in the morning to have coffee with everyone. hope you all will have a fantastic day!!!!!

Afternoon everyone,
I am back!! I checked in a little to keep logging my food but don't spend much time on the computer.
We got our tomatoes planted. We decided to not do a full garden this year. The heat and drought last year was so bad and they say we are going to be dry this again this summer.
I hope everyone is doing well. My lunch is over so I have to go to work...Have a blessed day
LATER

Connie you will have to give us the recipe for the dressing. I love salads. Did you get to go fishing yet?
My son bought his license today but didn't get mine. He is playing on taking his 4 year old son fishing tomorrow morning before he goes to work.

I can't go anyway as I have so much scheduled. Supposed to be at court at 8:30 in the morning( some boys set fire to my house and they were found guilty so the disposition is tomorrow), then have a mammogram at 11:30, then a bone density test and a ultra sound for my thyroid. Supposed to go out to lunch afterwards with a friend , but don't think I will have time. As supposed to babysit my grandson when his dad goes to work and the cable man is supposed to be at my house between 2 and 4.

Debbie I used to love to have a garden, but since I gave up my home , moved to a smaller place I have no room for one. Probably couldn't put in one now anyway as I have gotten older. So just have to buy stuff at the groceries unless I catch someone selling fruits or veggies at little stands in the country. I never get up in time to go to the farmers market downtown on Saturdays.

My calorie count has been way over my allowance the past couple days. I got to get back on track. I cooked some pinto beans, corn bread, fried potatoes with onions and some fresh spinach and I went overboard. It was sooo good as I hadn't had any in a long while. Besides that I don't know what was going on I just wanted to eat and so I did a lot of snacking too. Yogurt, rice cakes and fresh fruit. I am so stuffed now I am bloated. Makes no sense as I know better. Got to stop this no matter
what ; guess I will just have to write it down on a tablet what I eat , the calories and deduct them as I go and keep the tablet on my table.
I am off here catch you Ladies tomorrow.
Hugs, Ann

I am going to make the dressing today once I figure out the right mix I will come back with the recipe. I still havent got to go fishing its been raining non stop for days as far as I know it isnt going to let up. I cant beleave someone set your house on fire, I know how that feels, we were buying a house 29 yrs ago from my uncle and his wife set our house on fire, I had left with my husband. Our neighbors seen her there they said about 15 minutes after she left it went up in flames but because no one seen her light the match she got away with it. Then 2 yrs ago I went to pick my husband up from work our daughter called and told us there was a flu fire,she new what to do. When we got home my husband checked everything out and as far as we new all was ok. So we were just sitting around about 2 hrs had passed and my daughter went to go up stairs and the whole roof was on fire in fact the neighbors had already called the fire dept. so we had been sitting there with it on fire and didnt even know, the way the attic was shaped made all the smoke go up so we didnt even smell smoke or anything. Turned out there was a hole right at the chimney on the second level floor it had filled up with creasole. Had we been asleep none of us would have gotten out. someone was looking out for us that day! were not sure if we are going to do a garden this year hopefully he will be put on the heart transplant list. I will try to get back later today so for now you all have a fantastic day!!!!!

Well I went and got all my tests done today. The cable man and came and fixed my cable today. There was some channels I couldn't get due to the reception. The boy that set the fire got his jail time suspended and he was ordered to do community service and pay me $ 2,000. The fire did $15,000 worth of damage but the judge said he couldn't order the teenager to pay that much.I owe $39,000 on it and I didn't have any insurance so it is a mess. Guess I will let the mortgage company have it as I can't do anything.
Been having problems the last few days with my calories. Been eating too much . What I have here is too high in calorie count besides I have been hungry a lot. Maybe it is nerves and stress.

I'm so sorry to here that the boy got off so easily,was he under age? If so then I would think his parents would be responsible. If he is over 18 then he should have got what was coming to him, Its not fair that you shouldbe the one to have to take care of all that! And when I'm stressed I tend to over eat too. Most people I knoe lose their appetites when stressed wish I was one of those people.

They say I can go after the parents but that costs money for a lawyer which I don't have. I received a payment of $5.00 from the court where he started to pay me. at least it looks like I am going to get something even if it is only a little at a time.

Well today I am supposed to go to my friends house as she said she had some things for me. And she is going to fix my hair for church tomorrow. Also she wants to go out to lunch. That lunch I already know is going to be bad for me as she wants to go to a new Chinese Buffet they opened in her town. And I like Chinese food. so already know I will eat a lot. The thing is it just doesn't last long, so I will be wanting something else before the day is over.
Going to enjoy myself today as tomorrow is another day. lol
Catch ya Ladies, later. Have a good Easter Sunday.
