Happy Birthday to you!! LICK! SLURP!!(those are doggie kisses!!

Hope you have a wonderful day, Marie. :drinker: :drinker:

I ended up not going to Seattle after all. My parents talked themselves out of going, and I didn't want to do a 320 mile one day round trip in the pouring rain, so I stayed home. Now I don't have to go back to work 'til Tuesday and I have 3 days of no plans..Maybe it is time to tackle some housework, but let's not do anything too drastic!!:laugh: :laugh:

Love you kiddo,

Sandy

Happy Birthday, Marie!! Have a wonderful day. :bigsmile:

Wonder of wonders, my cough has nearly stopped. I am going to go to the concert as I should no longer be communicable. The literature says seven days from the first symptoms and I am far past that. I will be sure to keep my coughs to myself if they show up.

One of these days I will catch up with everyone. For now I want to make sure I have a rest so the music doesn't put me to sleep during the concert!!

take care and keep smiling. gayla

CALIECAT

Gayla, so glad you feel like getting out of the house. Good news. Enjoy:happy: :happy:

You must feel a whole lot better than you did a few days ago. But don't overdo it. It will take time to get back to normal. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Sandydur

Happy Sunday!!
The anniversary party was great, had so much fun dancing with all the little kids. Too much drinking with the big kids, I always seem to forget how I feel the next day while I am partying the night before. :glasses:
Will have to let my body heal today by drinking lots of water. :laugh:

It is supposed to be a beautiful day here with temperatures in the 70's. I will take any warm day I can in November. :flowerforyou:

Have a good one.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
:flowerforyou: Barb, lucky you:bigsmile: You were willing to make a huge effort to be of service to your parents and then you didn't have to do it, and ended up with some time for yourself.

:flowerforyou: Sandy, I'm glad you had fun last night and sorry that there are so not so good aftereffects

:flowerforyou: Marie, your positive attitude always inspires me

:flowerforyou: Gayla, I'm so glad you're healthy enough to go to hear the music.:bigsmile:

:flowerforyou: I survived the giant potluck gratitude dinner last night. I remembered that someone told me to focus on what I could add to the evening rather than what I would get out of it. I spent a lot of time talking to people and asking them how their lives were going and very little time talking about myself. I sat next to a woman who walks with a walker and told her about what I'd learned from friends on MFP about getting exercise even when you didn't have huge mobility (like Marie with her walker and Liz and her in bed exercises). I took my time going through the food line so I could make good choices and found a salad without cheese or cheesie dressing then added cherry tomatoes and cucumbers from a giant veggie plate and had a bigger than usual portion of turkey (the real stuff) and later when I went to get my dishes, I saw a plate of plain slice apples and had some for dessert While I was serving myself, the woman who brought the apples came up and told me that she had thought that there would be people wanting plain fruit without toppings, then she connected me to a woman who had boxes of apples from her tree and wanted to give them away, so I'll be meeting with that woman in a few days to get several boxes of home grown apples for making applesauce.

I hadn't gotten much exercise during the day because of a meeting for our business and a visit with friends so when we got home from dinner we took turns on the exercise bike, I walked the dogs on the hill, and walked up and down the hall while Jake was on the bike and managed to stay within my food and exercise calories for the day. (I didn't get to bed until after 11 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: )

We may have some non rainy time today so while Jake's friend comes to visit I will either walk outside for an hour or go walk at WalMart........with my hands in my pocket so I don't shop for entertainment :laugh:
hugs to all
Barbie

BirdieM

Hi....remember me? :huh: Ive been finding it hard to spend quality time posting or even reading the posts this past week as it's been busy at work and at home.My mil is still in the hospital, so I've been working hard to clean out her appartment, after work, in the event she comes home. My youngest daughter (who lives with us) had the Swine flu this week and my grandaughter (my middle daughter's child) was very sick....thought she had it too:noway: My oldest daughter was fighting to keep her house from going into foreclosure and the list goes on. HOWEVER, God is good and keeps us strong. I have been disciplined and lost another 2 lbs this week. :bigsmile: The sickies are all getting better, my daughter did not lose her house, at least for now, and the sun is shining. :flowerforyou: IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY...PRAISE GOD! I prayed for all of you( affectionably called my "thread people") (this thread and the 50+ thread, ) last week while on retreat. I never forget you!
One of the beneficial thoughts I took back after the retreat was this....to never look back but prepare for a grace filled future...God has promised it. So basically, live life without rear view mirrors :laugh: and have EXPECTANT faith even when it's tough! So, as I wait for my daughter to visit, I am grateful for the sunshine, life, relationships....and...oh yes losing another 2 lbs.:blushing:
This week looks like it will be very busy again, and I may seem to be missing in action...but I am not!
God bless you all and if I can I'll post.
BirdieM:smooched:

Hi to all you busy people. I did get to go to the concert and it was wonderful. The music from the 40's was so good. However, after going out for 3 hours it has taken me all day to find some energy today. I guess I am not completely over this yet. I will slowly ease into life and be careful.

So sorry for all your families problems, Birdie. It isn't fun being sick!

Barbie-- Wonderful job at the potluck. You will be rewarded when you step on the scale.

Marie-- You are so right, I will be leaving my 50th decade on the 20th. It seems a bit odd but I know I will quickly get used to it. After all, what else can a girl do?

Sandy -- Sounds like a fun time at the party! Take care of yourself today.

Have a nice Sunday evening to everyone. Gayla

CALIECAT

Gayla what were some of the songs in the concerts. I was raise up in a Rodeo community so all we listen to in the 40's were country music.Will post a picture of me with two cowboys. when if if I learned how to scan. I used to know how but forgotten but will try it tomorrow. A lot happen to me in the forties. I finish High School , Got married to Alice and Bruce Father, Harold. .Gain weight lost weightThe story of my life. Had a wonderful honeymoon. Went to a lake with his brother and family and slept on the ground and a big old hog woke us up.Right by our side. Wow.!!!!!!

Hi Marie -- It really is hard to leave fresh bread alone. I am going to try to increase my protein a bit and decrease the carbs, once I get back to eating a little more. For dinner tonight I had about a piece of lasagna (about 2"x3") and a piece of garlic toast. Def. heavy on carbs.

I brought the program home from the concert so I will list the songs for you:
I'll Get By
Bye, Bye, Blues
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy
Mam'selle (my cousin sang that one in his gorgeous tenor voice)
Hymn to Love
It Had to Be You
Sentimental Journey
Don't Fence Me In
Some Enchanted Evening
Galway Bay
Glocca Morra
Bye, Bye, Blackbird
Now is the Hour
Heartaches
I'll Be Seeing You
Let It Snow
White Christmas

There were also a couple of medleys by the orchestra which were lovely. We recognized most of the songs which was nice.
Have a good sleep. Now I am off to bed! Gayla

jeffrey71

It's another Monday! But there will never be another like it!

We had a busy week end. down to the mothers (plural) this weekend. Card party at church on Friday, and outside work yesterday. I got a lot done outside. Leaves pretty well cleaned up and back in the woods. Some of the flower beds stripped. I hate the thought that it will be 5 months before the flowers will be back. We are still planning on going to Atlanta on Thursday unless Day's mother has major issues again. She is falling a lot now, but still raising the ****ens! My mother is starting to have more trouble walking now. She has a bad knee and needs to get it worked on and she needs to loose weigh, which would help the knee. She is making some progress but not really enough yet. I keep encouraging her and it seems to help. Sam is getting ready for her Senior Receital on the 21st. and doing well. I am very excited about (hopefully) getting to see Amanda this week. I have not seen her since Fathers Day.

Marie Happy Birthday! (albeit belated!) I hope you had the best day ever!

Gayla you listed some of my favorite songs! Sounds like it was a great time.

Barbie I can't get over how good you look! Great pics.

Sandy your money is now mixed with mine! Coutesy of the Gaming Industry! LOL I have not had a good win in a bit. I am due!

Birdie you hang in there. We have had the same issues in my family too. My cousing just about lost his house but was able to re-fi and keep it, at least for now. These are very rugged times. Your faith is strong and it will see you and yours through.

Take care everyone!

Jeffrey

CALIECAT

Hello Jeffrey, Look like you had another busy weekend. You haven't had to deal with any snow yet? But I bet its a coming sooner than you want it to.

Not much of anything going on around here. Another beautiful day tho.

Birdie, hope everything calm down in your household.

Barbiecat, I guess you are out walking.

Gayla, hope you are doing fine. That you didn't overdo it the other night. I loved most of those songs and remember them well.

Elli, Sammy wont touch the food now. He is a funny little guy. Jerry just now gave him a bath with the stuff you sent. See how it works.

Beth, Are you still running?

Sandy, Now where are you young lady?

Phoebe, looking forward to you have some time off for Thanksgiving.

I am enjoying this new plan I am on. Alice gave me a sweatshirt That say "Christmas Calories Dont Count" We found it at Cracker Barrell. Oh but they do.

See you guys later

Marie

:flowerforyou: No walking for me today. I took the dogs to the dog park during a brief respite from the storm but otherwise all has been indoors.

Yesterday a friend brought me a pumpkin that didn't get carved for Halloween so I baked it (it was so big that I could only fit half of it in the oven at a time.) peeled it and cut it up and froze it in bags for veggies for the winter. We kept some of it out for our lunch today and it was fabulous. Jake is already dreaming up ideas for soup we could make with it. It will probably be a good substitute for the butternut squash in the butternut squash and apple soup that I made recently.

I did "Sweatin' to the Oldies" this morning. DVD #2 has a weight training and a toning section. I did those after going to the dog park. Then Jake and I did a 20 minute yoga routine with the Rodney Yee video. Now we get to relax.:bigsmile:

:flowerforyou: Gayla, the music you heard sounded wonderful. There are a lot of songs I like on that list.

:flowerforyou: Jeffrey---what a weekend with two mothers on the same trip. Glad to hear you keeping busy.

:flowerforyou: Birdie, your resilience and faith are admirable. Your family is so blessed to have you.

:flowerforyou: Sandy, how is Daisy doing with her obedience? I'm sure she's much more obedient than my dogs.

hugs
Barbie

elli

hi everybody! Marie - happy REALLY belated birthday! Hope it was a great one! Thank you for trying the food on Sammy - i'm surprised he won't touch it after the first time! My dogs really chow down on it! I mix it with their Science Diet dry dog food. I hope his bath went better! I still haven't decided on weather or not to buy that company. Big decision........

Sandy - Daisy is SO cute! Has your lost pound stayed off? You should put it on your ticker! I'm still roller coasting - up and down. My friend Angela and i talked about it today and hopefully tomorrow is going to be a new beginning. I have trouble in the evening - i know i should just go to the gym, but this time of year it gets dark so early and i hate to go out! I've been taking the dogs on hour long walks though as long as the weather is good

Jeffrey - way cool that you're going to see Amanda!

Barbie - great job at the pot luck! You never cease to amaze me!

Birdie - sorry for all the challenges your family is going through. Your spirit and positive thinking is so inspirational! Thank you. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

OK, i'm going to do some cleaning! Have a good night all!

Card day today, we are playing early since my hubby has a doctor's appointment early this afternoon but he wants me to go with him in case there is any paper work to fill out. (new doctor) He has been feeling blah and I am glad we finally found a family doctor since our last left his practice.

Our play date with the girls was fun for them, they played nicely and had a good time. Last night we took my son Brad, who is moving to Arizona on Wednesday out for dinner. We came back and played some Wii so we had a good time as a family. I am going to miss him so much. He did find a job with Fed Ex and has a new apartment so he is excited about his new life.

I will be back later to respond to everyone's posts, in the meantime enjoy the day.

Sandy

PS. Yes, Elli so far I have lost 2 pounds, just waiting to see if it stays off. :laugh:

campbell59

Hi, this is my 1st time on, I filled out the weight ticker, but I don't know where to paste it. Help!!

jeffrey71

Good Morning All!

Campbell59 it is nice to have you here! For your ticker just to your home page where you made your ticker, the directions for the paste are there. Good luck!

Marie no snow (a few flurries a couple of weeks back) yet! See me smile!

Sandy good job on the 2 pounds!

Elli is your snow gone yet?

Barbie anything special on for the day?

Pretty quiet here. We are still planning on leaving for Atlanta on Thursday. I may be off line for a while but i think I am going to take one of the laptops with me. I want to stay in touch! I think I am going to go into serious training very soon. I have it in my head that I want to do a Senior Iron Man competition or a Triathalon. I will probably need to drop another 15 to 20 pounds. I am going to see my doctor about that and plan accordingly. There are a couple events next year that I would like to try. I will keep you all posted. What is the saying? Old dog new tricks??? LOL at me! Amanda has put together a Veterns Day program at her school. They have invited local vets and have a real neat program that ties all of the classes and subjects together. This is the first time they have ever done anything like that and she is really nervous. I told her that her heart was right and that the kids will do fine. The thought and the effort speak volumes.

Thats about it for now. Everyone have a great day. Any new words? LOL

Ingenously,

Jeffrey (LOL)

Marie-

Your menu reminds me that I have been busy reading posts instead of eating breakfast!! Have to go and take care of this soon!!:laugh: :laugh:

I have been too busy being especially happy this morning as I have now entered the "ONE-derful ONES"--where the first number on the scale is a ONE :drinker: instead of a two:grumble:

Campbell59--Welcome. You have quite a "herd" of Shih-tzus--judging from your profile.:laugh: :laugh: Aren't they just the greatest!!

I have three little pests- Mai Li, the Lhasa, is pictured in my avatar; Pepper, my current Shih tzu is black, and has pictures posted in my profile; the greyish cream Shih tzu in my ticker was my first "baby" --Dreyfus, who passed from cancer in August of 2008. Most recently, I added "Bradley"-- a 13 year old Yorkshire Terrier, who is a big boy for a Yorkie--14.5 lbs!! I have reached the conclusion he has some Silky Terrier in him as he is way too BIG to be a Yorkie. He is a smart little guy--came from a home where he had never had a doggy door and taught himself how to use the one here just by watching the other two!!

Do you ever take all of yours for a walk at once? I do manage to get all three of these guys out together on 3 leashes. Fortunately, the only "loose cannon" in the bunch is Pepper. He is quite a bit younger than Mai Li, who is 11, and Bradley, the "senior statesman" of the group. We do fine until Pepper decides to run around all of us in a big circle and try to get one of the other dogs to play. On a leash this maneuver does NOT work well!!:laugh: I am sure I give my neighbors many laughs as they look out their windows!!

Speaking of "walkies"--Mai Li is making it clear that the time to go out has come, so everyone have a great day!!!

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: This morning we got five big boxes of apples and a box of pears from a friend and spent a good part of the day making applesauce.......we put pears in one of the batches. My freezer is looking a lot fuller now with frozen cooked pumpkin, squash soup, and now applesauce. i got a lot of my steps walking between the stove and the freezer.:laugh:

:flowerforyou: Elli, I'm surprised that Sammy didn't like the new food.......it sounded delicious....I know my dogs would have loved it if I weren't too self-centered to fix it for them.:laugh: Sometimes I drink herb tea in the evening when my mouth really wants something and I don't want to add any more calories

:flowerforyou: Sandy, I agree with you, my scale says a slightly lower number than my ticker but I won't post it until I'm sure it will stay. Congratulations to your son on his new job and new life and hugs to you for being a brave mom when he goes.

:flowerforyou: Campbell, welcome to the group. Your dogs are darling. They must be a pile of fun.:bigsmile: To add your ticker, go to "My Home", then "Tools" to make your ticker. Then "copy" the code for your ticker and go to "My Home" then "settings" then "change forum signature" and "paste" your ticker code on the signature and it will show up every time you post. You can add other stuff to your signature like your name, your goals, a favorite quote, whatever.

:flowerforyou: Jeffrey, how exciting about your new ambitious fitness goals. We already think of you as the Ironman so it is only fitting that you should try such a competition.

:flowerforyou: marie, your menu for the day sounds tasty. How does it come out in calories?

:flowerforyou: Barb, congratulations on your latest weight loss and getting down to a number starting with 1----you have worked so hard toward this goal. I was a bad mom today and didn't take my girls to the dog park because I was making applesauce and the weather was cold and nasty.

You all help me stay focused. thank you for being there.
hugs Barbie

BirdieM

Just popping in before a very busy day to say that I dropped another 2lbs.!:bigsmile: I am now in the 60's! Been 15 years since I've seen that! :bigsmile: So that makes it 26 lbs since Aug 14th and I really am not doing anthing extreeme! Just keeping calories to 1200 plus exercise calories and for the most part staying away from junk food. Last night I removed half my wardrobe from my closet because the clothes are just too big! :noway: Poor me:laugh: :laugh: I have some clothes that were tight and can now fit in them but some are so old that they have shoulder pads so big that I look like a football player:laugh: :laugh: I feel your pain, Vicky:laugh: :laugh:

Lots to do, so must get going but also want to thank all our Veterans for their valued service to our country. My appreciation runs deep for your selfless service!:flowerforyou: God Bless you all! I love you and I love this country!!!

BirdieM:smooched:
Will try to post later but may not have time!
Thinking of you all....even before my coffee!!!:laugh:

CALIECAT

Barbiecat, i sdn;t know how many caloriesis it is. We don't don't count calories im Metabolism Miracle diet.. For the first 8 weeks we j just count carbs. We get five carbs every 5 hours and that encluded a carb and snack at 3:00 in the Morning. We have a list of foods we can eat. This is to rest our pamcress and liver. The author says if we don't eat every 5 hours our liver will feed us eaqual to a bagel. And I beieve that for my blood sugar can be normal when I go to bed and go up during the nigh. we are not to weigh the first 8 weeks. the second 8 weeks we will add more carbs like 11 to 20 a meal. And I haven't looked at our maintance program yet. But I am not cravings sweets or more carbs and I am sleeping much better.She says when we get through with the plan we will be able to eat like a normal person and not gain weight. I think the author may be on to something. She breaks it down into Metalisam A and Metalbolism B. The A's are normal a, the B's have a low Metabo;ism. Why we can't lose on other diets .
But I am please with it so far. Sunday when we went out to eat. I had a grilled chicken and grilled veggies and a salad and I cut my roll into 4 pieces and just ate 1/4 of the roll.To keep my carbs down..

I haven't got my menu work out yet. Its ihas been almost 5 hors since i ate this mormomg at 3 so it is time for breakfasst, almost 8:00 Am now.. Will be back to post my menu later after I eat. Oh i did find a good snack yesterday. Sliced radish and string cheese. almost like eatin Apple and cheese.

All of your foods you are getting in your frezzer sounds wonderful.

Birdie, You are doing just great and such a kind person. A pleasure to know you.


I'll be back
Marie

elli

Good Morning everyone! Happy Veterans Day to all our Veterans. Beth - I hope you have off today and do something nice for yourself!

Birdie - you are doing fantastic! Keep up the great work!

Marie - your metabolism diet sounds interesting and something that could really work for you!

Jeffrey - really? ANOTHER 20 pounds?!?!? You ROCK!

Barbie - when my kids were little i used to spend so much time in the fall freezing stuff from the garden, plus all the meat we butchered........i'd end up with 2 full freezers. Now i have 1 freezer in the basement that's about 1/3 full:laugh: You're doing such a good job stocking up for winter! I'm sure the dogs will forgive you. I don't know about yours - but mine don't really like to walk in the rain. The outside dogs don't mind the snow - but not so much the rain!

We've been having such beautiful weather so we've been going on hour long walks after work. I guess it's supposed to start getting crummy on Friday tho. Oh well - it IS November!

Happy day everyone!

jeffrey71

Good Morning Everyone!

We have a lot going on right now. MIL is acting out, and my SIL is in the hospital. She is really struggling against the cancer right now. We are still planning to leave for Atlanta in the monring. I will probably take a laptop with me but my posting will be eratic.

Everyone have a good day and keep getting fit!

Hi everyone! It is a bit cooler today but we do have sunshine and no snow so happy to take it! I made the mistake of telling Dave that I was going to clean the fridge today so I guess I should work on that before dinner. It really needs it. Things just accumulate in there.

Today I am thinking of my Mom who always found Remembrance Day so difficult. Her brother was one of the soldiers executed as a prisoner of war just after D-day. It seemed so long ago when I was a kid and I didn't understand her fresh grief. Now I understand that it wasn't really very long ago in the 1950's and that the pain never goes away. We shall remember.

Jeffrey -- I am glad you are going to talk to your Dr. before losing more weight. You look great in your picture. I do also think that you have wonderful goals. So sorry that life is hard right now. I hope things settle for you and your loved one.

Elli -- I, too, used to freeze a lot more than I do now. Hmm, the freezer is one more task I need to get to soon. Are your family all coming home for Thanksgiving?

Marie -- You sound happy with your new diet. Do you have to eat during the night?? I don't think I would do that. Once I was up eating I don't think I could go back to sleep. Is there a group here that is following this plan?

Birdie -- Way to go on your loss. You are doing great

Barbie -- Wow, you are an applesauce maniac!! Neil loves applesauce. He asked for a hug the other day and when I hugged him he said "I have missed that so much". Glad that I can hug him now, such a simple thing but so important to him.

I am still coughing a bit but essentially better except for the stiff and sore muscles it left behind. I was planning to go for a walk today but so far haven't got there. I see my Dr. tomorrow and expect to get a clean bill of health. Neil got immunized for H1N1 yesterday. His arm is a bit sore but otherwise fine. Not sure if Dave will get immunized or not, so far it has only been available for children and high-risk adults. Of course, I got the live kind so don't need it.

Take care everyone and keep smiling. Gayla

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Hello to all my pals,
Another beautiful chilly day on the North Olympic Peninsula with sunshine and frost on the roof in the early AM. I was a good mom and took the dogs to the dog park. Jake made applesauce this morning while I went to line dance then I made more while he was at the dentist. I'll make more this evening while he goes out to meet a friend.

:flowerforyou: Jeffrey----good luck on your plans to lose 20 more pounds.....if anyone can do, you can....of course, you'll start to hear people tell you that you're too thin and shouldn't lose any more weight.

:flowerforyou: Marie, your diet sounds interesting and full of healthy foods......I hope it works for you.

:flowerforyou: Gayla, glad you're feeling better and glad that you and Neil are hugging.

:flowerforyou: Elli, when Jake bought the freezer for me about 10 years ago I had no idea what I would do with it. :laugh: We rarely ate meat and I was so busy at work that I didn't have time to do things with vegetables. The first thing I froze was heirloom pumpkin from the farm we had for a few years. The next house we lived in had two apple trees and I learned how to freeze applesauce. This is the biggest project I've ever done.

:flowerforyou: Birdie, congratulations on your weight loss and the discarding of your too big clothes. My closet is pretty empty now, too.

I don't have a personal loss to remember on Veterans/Remembrance Day but I am grateful to all who have served us so bravely.
hugs to all of you Barbie
