Good Morning Ladies! :flowerforyou:
We are onto part 2 already :noway: ....nothing better then nice friendly chatty ladies.
..I am having a high pain day..my legs and hips..feels like something really sharp is gnawing on the inside.
...using my magic bags as much as possible...the heat helps...but can only put it on a couple places at a time. :grumble:
Patty---So sorry you are having a weird feeling...the benadryl might not be compatible with a med you are taking..should check with your Dr maybe...sending soothing thoughts
Carol--- I hope you can soon get some sleep :flowerforyou:
The DR told me a pill that I am taking multiple of could be causing the**fainting feeling** spells I am having so we took one pill away..go back in 2 wks to see how I am doing. I hope you all have a great weekend coming up!!!:flowerforyou:

Hi!!! Are members in this group doing the 21 day tummy? I am planning on starting it on Sunday Apr 26. I would love to join you!!!
What is that?0 -
Good Morning,
Deedee :drinker: you have taken on quite the project.
Welcome newcomers:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: !
Rori I found Salt, Sugar, Fat helpful to me to cut down on eating cheese and now ice cream is a rare treat instead of a daily occurrence. I eat more fruits, veggies, and nuts. The biggest thing I notice is that if I get sick I heal much faster. Example a cold in the past would last at least a week. Now it is milder and only a couple of days.
Sylvia love the joke as a teacher I can see a student actually doing that.
Patty sorry your father missed the trip to D.C. To help me sleep I listen to relaxation tapes, a hot bath, and tart cherry juice. Tart cherries have melatonin that helps you sleep. Turning off everything electronic an hour before you sleep can also help. Talk to your doctor first because you may have to ease off the Ambien. I know when I take something like that it makes me groggy the next day.
Carol 15,000 steps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bumped the last couple of days because I only had time to read posts. I was working and we are in the middle of how to help our oldest son. He was in the hospital. Now he lost his job and is going through a divorce, and trying not to lose his house. If he loses it he’ll will be moving in with us. The amount of loss he is suffering in such a short time is heartbreaking. :brokenheart: He is trying to figure out a way to keep his house. Has anyone else faced the dilemma of buying their child’s home and then renting it back to them ?That is essentially what will have to do to help him keep his home.
It is small surprise I am reading a book on dealing with grief. The essence of the book is grief is an accumulation of loss. Our loss right now is of our DIL and our grandchildren they may have had and watching the losses of our son. The theme of the book is working through the losses rather than relying on platitudes. I think the author is correct that sometimes depression is unresolved grief. Our culture tends to want to sweep grief under the rug because it does not know how to deal with it. Just pop a pill, go shopping, eat my product it will make you feel better. I feel I am at the first step of just acknowledging the losses and the effects they have had on my life and my loved ones. Thanks for listening to my thoughts.
Goal:
To spend time with a good friend to ease my loss, so tomorrow I wake up to a healthier me.

I think we're both suffering with a bit of post trauma/grief as the one month mark of my mom's passing hit this week.

To my wonderful motivational ladies:flowerforyou:
TGIF, it's taken me all morning just to catch up on yesterday's posts, I'm at work and not doing much of that, thank goodness my boss isn't in, there are so many I want to reply to but will be here till close of play if I attempt that so just replying to a few:-
Rita loving the dog stories they really made me laugh:bigsmile: We have an indoor house rabbit called Lola and boy does she have an attitude problem:mad: , we've had her 6 years and brought her off a qualified breeder so we thought we'd be getting something special, a cute little dwarf baby rabbit
, we'd been told she would stay small and cute, but no she's turned into a huge lollaping big lump of a bunny:sad: ! Yep we were conned but we do love her and she has us in fits of laughter with her funny antics, she won't have anything to do with my DH and I unless we're feeding her then you can get her to do tricks until you give her the treat or food then she'll race back and nip you or back kick you if she's in the mood:frown: !! She adores my DD and will only let her stroke her or play with her! We've recently had our hall re-carpeted it was wooden before and now she uses it like a race track and in the mornings when she's most lively she's gallop up and down the hall and if there's anything in her way she'll make flying leaps over the objects its so funny to watch!:bigsmile:
JB your poems are brilliant
Well done Jil, don't you just feel a million dollars when you get compliments like that and people notice you've lost weight:happy:
Molly Whippet I really laughed reading about sweet little Ian, so funny, think your DH deserves a medal:laugh:
Heather loving the teenager stories, we had 4 over Christmas fortunately where we were staying the phone signals were intermittent so to keep them entertained in between them having their faced glued to their wretched phones:explode: we had them carving all the Christmas roast meats, ham, beef and turkey they loved getting involved and did a really good job. Hope your having a great time in London with the grand children. :bigsmile:
Amanda hope your feeling better, soon that sounds horrendous:flowerforyou:
Alf1163 regarding the 21 day tummy, I'm quite new to the MFP site and still working my way around, does this mean you'r starting a new thread on 26th April??? Let me know what you have to do, sounds interesting :happy:
I work just off Carnaby Street down the West End in London and nipped out at lunch to Oxford Circus, that was a mistake, the place is heaving with double buggies, (My pet hate), teenagers just milling about, tourists who stop dead in front of you waving a map and in broken English ask "where I is"! I had an hour to get to John Lewis and back ended up running like mad woman down all the side streets to avoid the massive crowds, dreading getting on the tube at 5.30 with all the extra Easter crowds!! This weekend I'm taking my DD to the International Cake show at the Excel Centre at Docklands, she's set up her own cup cake and bespoke birthday cake company, (the other reason for major diet as I'm chef cake taster!):drinker: I'm really looking forward to going and am determined just to inhale NOT TASTE all the delicious aromas of cake, chocolate, more cake ooooooooooooooooo, it's gona be hard going!!:ohwell:
Wishing you all a safe happy weekend, its nearly time for home, I'll be off line all weekend so will spend Monday catching up as boss off again, Yeaaaaa:bigsmile: :flowerforyou:0 -

Good Morning Beautiful Ladies! I am soooooo Happy! Had my first weigh-in and I lost 3.8 pounds. Yeah! I am so siked to go on my walk this morning. The sun is shining, a wonderful spring day. AHHHhhhhhhh...... Life is good. Except for the warm blueberries in my oatmeal this morning. Yech! Made the oatmeal with blueberries for breakfast and forcing myself to get it down. I love blueberries. But not cooked in my oatmeal. Live and learn.
Well, it sounds like Spring has sprung all over the place, so ladies have a great Friday, and enjoy some springtime.

Happy Friday!!
Thoroughly enjoyed my foot reflexology session yesterday and lunch. Gym this am, now have to run and get ready for dr. visit (pap test time) and Gwen and her sister are taking me out to dinner. They picked Chili's.................my least fav. place by far, but I shouldn't complain, it is a lovely gesture. No idea what I can eat there; all I remember is that I didn't find much I liked back when I ate everything, service was abominable, and the decor was definately not my taste.
Got to run and shower. Finger back to normal after horse bite.
Hello to everyone and best wishes for you all,

Yahooo it's Friday :drinker: :flowerforyou: :drinker:
I'll chime in on the Mother issues. Kim & Kathrine, I too had a controlling, abusive Mother. I had to walk away from her to protect myself and my children. I spent years in therapy to deal with it all. She was raised by a loving mother, my DGM was my only loving person in my childhood. She loved & cared for me when my mother wouldn't. Something must have happened to turn my mother so horrible. I had nothing to do with her for the last 20 years of her life, she died on Sept 26th last year (my birthday). She told my DB that she was going to leave a mess when she died and she did just that. She was evil even after he death. Her estate is such a mess that we had to walk away from everything. My Sister is much like my mother and I have nothing to do with her either.
anyway on to brighter topics :laugh:
I had the most spectacular NSV last night. I went to Cardiofit Box class last night and after the class the instructor came over to me and said that she could just see me getting stronger and stronger with each class. It's only been 6 classes so far. A friend told her about my weight loss and the instructor said that one day she wants me up at the front of the class sharing my story (not gonna happen, I'm far too shy for that :noway: :noway: ). I left feeling really good. Let me tell you, I'm am really sore today from that class. It was 55 min of INTENSE cardio boxing. I now look forward to the class....I never every thought I'd feel that way :noway:
I have not yet booked a dentist appt for my broken molar gotta wait for payday. It doesn't hurt, it's just got a few sharp edges. Hopefully he can fix this one. He's fixed a few for me and 1 he had to pull. I'll make an appt next week.
Sleeping is horrible again and I think it's pain that keeps me awake.
Hope you all have a great Friday - it's sunny and warm today in Ontario (wish I could get out and enjoy it). Maybe a walk after work at the lake????
Thank you all for being so supportive. You are all amazing.

Good morning everyone! It's not quite as nice today as it was yesterday, but still not too bad. I lost my favorite pink hoodie (ok, it was my only pink hoodie). Searched the house, the car, my studio. Couldn't find it anywhere, then went to the Y this morning and found it on a hook in the gym, just where I left it! Of course, then I remembered hanging it there. So I was glad to find it, and lucky someone else didn't snatch it.
I'm trying to work on some drafting jobs, but pulling my hair out. The sales rep marked up sketches with pencil and red pen, scribbled, drew arrows that point nowhere, marked out things, added in other things, then scanned it and sent it to me. It's like sorting through a bowl of spaghetti. I went home and printed them out on our color printer, thinking that would help. Nope. Now I've broken out my lighted magnifier lamp. It's easier to read some of it, but it's still really hard. It's very frustrating. Her jobs are always harder than those from any of the other reps. Deep breath!
The girls went to swim lessons last night, and the younger one did really well with the backstroke. She was by far the best in her group. She swam out to the middle of the pool unassisted, then the teacher stopped her and she and the teacher both looked at me and did a big thumbs up! I was really proud of her. The older one doesn't seem to try too hard. Two more weeks of swim lessons.
Today and tomorrow are the city wide garage sale. I went to a few this morning but didn't find much. One had a brand new jacket from Chicos, in a size 3 (which they said was the same as a 16), but I couldn't even get my fat arm in the sleeve. I might go to a few tomorrow. I used to go to a lot of garage sales, but our house started to look like one of those hoarders on tv, so I stopped. There are a couple of things I need to find for the studio though.
Well, back to work. Have a great day!

OK, I have to talk about the mother issue too. Mine was horrible all the time I was growing up. She was hateful to me, told me I was ugly and stupid, and often told me she hated me. She tried to control all of us, but somehow I was her favorite to torture. When I was young, maybe 7 or 8, my parents got a divorce, although they continued to live in the same house and did not tell anyone else they were divorced. My mother showed me the divorce papers though, and told me it was all my fault because my dad loved me more than her, but that I shouldn't ever tell anyone because then they would hate me as much as she does. My dad was very cold to me after that too, where before he was my only friend. They got remarried when I was in high school, and I was the only one that knew about that too. I got a scholarship to an art college close to home but she insisted I go into the Air Force instead. (She wanted me out of the house.) She said if I did she would never ask me for anything ever again. I didn't stand up to her then, and always regretted it. After I got out of the Air Force, and separated from my abusive ex-husband, she insisted I move back to where she lived, and she would help me get back on my feet. After one day - on my birthday - she threw me and my 4-year old son out. I finally moved 200 miles away to get away from her. We didn't talk much in her later years, but I did go to the nursing home when she was dying. At one point she drew me close and whispered "I love you more than you will ever know." That was the only time in my life she said she loved me. I have to admit that I felt better. Somehow all the crap before was sort of neutralized.
I really sympathize with those of you with mother issues. I often wonder how many overweight women had issues like that with their mothers and how it contributed to our weight issues. I know whenever I tried to lose weight my mother would sabotage my efforts, like making raisin pie and if I didn't want to eat it she would guilt me into it saying she made it because she knew it was my favorite.
Enough of this stroll down memory lane. Gotta get back to work.

Joke of the day:
:laugh: :happy:
One day while at her job as a bank loan officer, Patty Black, had a frog hop onto her desk and say, "I would like to apply for a lily-pad improvement loan." Patty looked incredulously at the frog and said, "I'm sorry, we don't loan money to frogs." To which the frog replied, "I have collateral," as he handed her a small ceramic trinket. Not wanting to be impolite, Patty said, "I don't know. I'll have to talk to the bank manager."
She walked back to the manager's office and said, "There is a frog out here, asking for a lily-pad improvement loan, and this trinket is all he has for collateral." The bank manager picked up the trinket and looked at it carefully. Then smiling he turned to Patty and said, "Why it's a knick-knack, Patty Black. Give the frog a loan."

Heather – great job! Love seeing the scale head down!!!:happy:
Amanda – hang in, treat yourself gently!
Alison – I am so glad your FIL is happy, and settling in – Although he sounds like a handful
! That takes a load off of you and if he is happy your hubby should not be complaining that he should be back home…
Mamacindy - you don’t have to lurk – you could just jump in and visit! I’ll pour you a cup of coffee:drinker: Later in reading posts - thanks for the info on the tummy program
Liz – Congrats on half way!!! Great job – I am sure you’ll look great at the wedding. :happy:
Carol – good luck at the hospice shop – thrift shopping is my favorite!
Patty - Have you ever tried Lavender oil (not the fragrance, but the essential oil) for me if I have a tough time a drop rubbed in to my temples does it… not as strong as any of the drugs, but no side affects either…. :yawn:
Gloria – 2 inches is amazingly awesome!!!!:happy:
Margaret - What great parents to help your son keep his home! And working through the grief is so important! I see it in my family; those who have and who continue to acknowledge the moments of grief are much healthier (emotionally and physically) than those who have swept it under the rug. :happy:
Jill and Meg – How cool that you guys get to meet in real life! :drinker:
Kathrine – Congrats on the weight loss!!:happy:
Sandy – take care- Great NSV - a lake walk sounds wonderful.
Well some jackets to finish this morning and then hopefully the afternoon in MY garden; it needs some serious work before Easter; I have that holiday here. There are veggies to plant, weeds to pull, a hedge to trim! Well better get at this or I'll be working by flash light :noway:

Carol in NC: Sorry to hear you’re dealing with anxiety/panic. I’ve had a boatload of anxiety lately as well. :frown: It seemed to start with the new car and hasn’t really gone away although it is lower than it was. I have reduced my coffee drinking because I think that was a contributing factor. It seems to be helping a bit. I haven’t eliminated coffee, though. It is actually healthy if consumed in moderation. I need to find the moderation sweet spot.:flowerforyou:
JB: You have another winning poem with “Fabulous Friday.”
“The truth of the matter
Is heaped on the platter
The less I partake
The more I'm the gladder.“
Me, too! :bigsmile:
Gloria: You are winning. Inches lost are the best kind of NSV. :flowerforyou:
Margaretturk: Your comments on loss and grief are very insightful. Thanks for sharing them. I hope your son’s health will improve quickly and his grief will begin to ease.:flowerforyou:
Jill: I hope you and Meg will have a wonderful time!:flowerforyou:
Kathrine from Kansas: We occasionally have blueberries in our oatmeal but add them after we’re done cooking the oatmeal. :flowerforyou:
Sandy in ON: Congratulations on an amazing NSV. The compliment from your Cardiofit Box instructor is fabulous.:drinker: :flowerforyou:
Sylvia: DH was addicted to shopping at the senior center thrift store. My cupboards are now full of old glassware. Since I retired I’ve been keeping him under control, but a few new “treasures” sneak in from time to time. He’s not into the “hoarder” category yet, but we need to purge our house. I’m guilty of hanging on to every item I’ve ever owned, so he isn’t the only one causing the clutter.:noway:
Still feeling anxious due to over spending. (My opinion.) The car purchase is a done deal and I’ll have to get used to it. I have cut back on coffee, as I mentioned earlier, and it seems to be a helpful thing. Both of us are spending quite a bit of time in the bathroom due to tummy upset, so maybe a virus is contributing to the situation.
Today is a gorgeous day, and I’m in favor of putting some fun into it!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Sandy, about telling your story in front of your class. I know you say you are shy and think you can't speak in front of a group but it is so empowering to get up in front of your class and tell them about your success and how you have done it. You have the ability in your hands and voice and body to share a right way to loose weight and get in shape at the same time. You have been with them for several weeks so they aren't complete strangers to you. You can be of so much help to others. They then can learn from that and hopefully live what you have shown them actually works and then it's passed on from person to person.
Another wonderful day outside. And I slept so soundly last night. I slept so soundly that it took awhile for my back to move in the morning. It quite distresses my cat that it takes me awhile for me to bend down to refill her food bowl even though it is far from empty.

Hello ladies and happy Friday!
Meg, that's fantastic that you were able to meet up with a friend! If any one is close enough to me, I'd love to meet in person
I've signed up with our county parks & rec department for their walking program. It runs from April to October and they give you a pedometer along with a sheet to record your steps. They have different prizes that you can win for reaching certain walking milestones, such as t-shirts, bags, etc. I love prizes so I was excited to sign up, lol! Since the weather has finally gotten nicer, I'm hoping to start walking on my breaks again.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Barb in Eastern WV0 -
Well, I had a wonderful nsv today, I can't make it to the YMCA tonight.
So I decided to take a walk while my Dd watched the kids for me, (I do
Day care in my home and she's my helper) long story, anyway as I was
walking I had the urge to run so I set my timer for 4 min, I thought I'd
Walk 3 min and run for 1 minute. I did that five times and felt pretty good
so the last set I decided to see how long I could go. Well I made it for five
minutes. And I think I could've gone longer but my bladder was not co-
operating, I was running toward the bathroom and the closer I got to it
the harder it was to hold.(hate getting older). I have a small park with woods
and a pond near my house and I love going there. I feel so good that I could
run that long. I can't wait to try again. All that hard work on the stepper, eliptical
and treadmill is paying off.
Carol and Patty- yrs ago I had trouble getting to sleep because of racing thoughts,
It was during a very dark time in my life. My therapist gave me a handheld Yangtze
game and told me to play it right before bedtime and keep playing until I couldn't stay
awake any longer and go to sleep. It worked really well, I still had to take something
to stay asleep. Til this day I still use it sometimes when I can't get to sleep. Any game
could work. Good luck,
Dee- I just got finished painting three rooms on the main floor. I know how hard it is
to choose a colour. One trick I learned yrs ago was to buy the sample paints and paint
on the dull side of lg poster boards and hang it in the rooms I want to paint. I left it up
for about a week before I decide.
Time to wake up the kids, have a great weekend everyone.

Happy Friday Ladies. :glasses: Sounds like going to be another beautiful Spring day. I am working my 12 hours today and then after work we are going to York (which is about 50 miles) to meet DD and pickup our 5 year old GD Emma. She is coming to stay with us until Sunday, then we will meet them in Lincoln to trade back. This will be her first time away from home without DD. Tomorrow we plan to take her and acouple GC from here to an Easter egg hunt at the church and then we are going to a Bike show in Hastings. Going to be a busy weekend. Glad I also have Monday off as will need that to rest.
I did talk to my mom last evening and she is doing well. I was so worried when I couldn't reach her the evening before. She had been at church. I do think she is doing better then I am. My sister is going to be with her for the weekend and they are going to go thur dads clothes and get them packed to go to the senior center. I so wished she lived closer.
Sylvia--Love the jokes, they always make me smile, Thank you for sharing them.:smooched:
Amanda--sure hope you feel better soon. :flowerforyou:
DeeDee--last year when we were going to paint our bathroom ACE had free pint giveaways on Saturday and so we would go and get different colors until we found what we liked.
margaret--hugs to you and your son.
Jill and Meg--hope you are having a great afternoon!:happy:
Kathrine--congrates on the weight loss!
Barb--have fun on the walking program. Where I work used to have them and I liked getting the prizes. Sometime this month they are to be starting some new ones and looking forward to checking them out.
Well guess I should get busy and get some work done. Have a good evening and remember we are all in this together.

Goodnight,

Home alone tonight. DH & DD went out on a father daughter date. She is getting married in July so I am glad for them to spend some time together. I'm going to watch a movie (Jewtopia) that I have been wanting to watch. It's supposed to be funny. I'll let y'all know what I think.

Hi lovely ladies. I had a wonderful time with Jill today; we went to a sort of down home type diner and I bet we talked non-stop for at least 3 hours! I bet she won’t tell you but she came to visit Omaha in order to receive an award from the housing agency she has done lots of work for I think for something like 20 years! But yes it’s true; no photographic evidence….we both have dumb phones! But I sure enjoyed getting to know her in person.
The students had pledging/pinning today so I didn’t get home til after 6 and boy am I tired. DD#1 emailed hubby to say she needed to tell us something, she’s scared, and “I need you”. Dear God what can that be? My first guess is she’s pregnant, but she’s terrified of sex and at least last I heard, she and BF don’t have intercourse because she doesn’t believe that birth control is effective. I don’t know what else it could be though. She said she’s coming over Sunday to talk to us.
Oh I don’t think I told you….or maybe I did. The cousin with the head injury had to move to a nursing home because he is not improving.
Deb: glad you had a great trip!
Ronnie: those pain pills cause havoc doen’t they!
Katla: holy cats! That’s quite the remodel…I hope it doesn’t come to that
Kim: I think our relationships with our mothers are so complicated. My mom was very unlikeable until she got dementia…then she was adorable and all the nursing home staff just loved her.
Joyce: congrats on that number!
Yanniejannie: what an ungrateful horsie! We have friends with a scililian donkey who bite my thigh once!
Amanda: I hope you get at least some rest
Patty: congratulations on your daughter’s pinning! Sounds like they do their ceremony later than we do ours; ours is more of a public announcement committing to nursing as a career so the freshmen and sophomores are the main ones there.
Gloria; so sorry you are feeling discouraged. Sending hugs
Jb: great poem! Congrats on all your weight loss
Rita: a Siberian lily already!!! Ours are still brown lumps!
Sylvia: poor little guy! How old is he? Maybe he’s too early yet for soccer. I’ve seen soccer “games’ with 2 and 3 year olds! They don’t do so well!
Heather; your party was a success!
Tigress……zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz *pop* what did you say? I was unconscious!
Kathrine: keeping my fingers crossed for the scale readout today!...Later….hooray!!!!
Rori: glad to see you!
Patty: I hope you feel better!
Sandy: what a great nsv!!!!! Congratulations!!!!
Mollywhippet: almost spit my drink out!!!!
Barb: we did have so much fun. This summer we are going to Colorado and I’m looking forward to meeting some of the CO
contingent! Oh, I think I already told you but I love the dog!!!
Brenda: good job!
Vicki: we are almost next door neighbors…hopefully we’ll meet up one day too!
OK time to have dinner then I think it’s another night of passing out on the recliner LOL. I do feel better about the test bank; I had a phone call with the publisher and we have worked out a new deadline of the end of may and I can hire my boss if she’s willing to help. Take care Meg from spring-like weather.0
