Good morning!
Yay! Irene, you made it over here. Yay!!!!
We've missed you.
Petunias and Dahlias are pretty, Roger.
Jo, hope you get your free time/me time today.
Gray and misty here, and the electricity was out for a little bit over night. But all is well.
Happy Saturday.0 -
Hi
Our library is not huge but they can usually get anything else on a inter Library program and our Library card is good at libraries in the entire county.
Have a Great Weekend

Good Afternoon;
Hi Irene-I am glad you made it over.
Vix-I just got home from work and am sitting here deciding what I want to do for the rest of the day, if anything.
I haven't been to the library in years. I have a bookcase full of books waiting to be read. I either got them at yard sales or from one of my sisters.
Sun is shining and I think I will go sit on the deck and enjoy it.
Have a great day.0 -
Wow....I go to the library at least once or twice a week. I have access to the entire county system too, and they will request books from the local colleges or other counties and locations if they don't have a book you want. I don't want to buy and store all the books I read. Lately, I've been reading over 100 books a year. That's way too many books!
It looks like the sun is finally peeking through. I should probably get out for a while.
Enjoy the rest of your day. 0 -
After I read a book, I usually pass it on to one of my sisters. We are all avid readers. Whenever we get together, one of us always has a bag of books to pass along. 0

Hi Jo
I also have a fair stock of unread books currently. I added some last week when the Friends of the Library had a three day book sale. I also have some that bear a reread in the future. I have even bought some old favorites on Amazon that the local library does not have and that are not available even through the interlibrary lending system.
Have a Good Weekend

Hi Vix
I used to read a lot. Now with my limited free time after forums and keeping my brother company I do good to read a book in a month. Thus I buy rather than borrow from the library.
I really thought I would have more free time once I retired, Not So, I seem to have less now.
Cheers

Reading helps me to sleep. I think I'm addicted to fiction for escape from reality. I used to just read at night. Now I read in spare moments, as a break between chores, as a way to relax.
I know I'm lucky to have time to enjoy retirement, take up a few hobbies, travel a little. It is nice to have free time after all those years of having no time.
Have a good night. Hugs to all.0 -

Happy Mother's Day!
Went out to lunch with my daughter and husband. I had a spinach salad with dressing on the side. It consisted of spinach,walnuts and dried cranberries. It was 86 degrees today. We also took a walk through the public garden in Boston. A very enjoyable day.0 -
Sounds like fun Jo. My daughter had a bunch of people at her house. The in-laws, and my son and his GF. It was really nice. I caught up with my son-in-law's parent and grandmother, and it was nice to see his brother and sister and the rest of the family. They had all sorts of food, I kept it reasonable, but did have a small slice of apple cake and a small glass of wine. I kept track of everything and kept within my calories, so not too bad, even with a couple of treats.
Roger, I don't get enough sleep either. Probably would get less if I didn't read. oh well.
Kel...I'm usually pretty good about putting the book down when I get tired, the problem is sometimes I don't get tired til it's too late.
Have a good night everyone. Hope we all sleep well tonight.

Good morning.
Gray and gloomy day so far. Off to yoga for me. I'll see what I can do.
Back later.0 -
I think I need to start looking in on this group. If weight is slow at 50, it is even slower at 60. I don't have much left to lose, but if the past three months are any indication, it will still be taking a long time! -- Jen

Welcome Jen....the last few pounds are the hardest....I never did make it the last time, now I'm up again, so it will be a very long while for me.0

Hi All
It is a warm and humid day especially for May.

Hi Roger, glad you got your AC in. My house stays prety cool as long as it cools down overnight. Haven't had to use the AC yet.0

Good Afternoon;
Welcome Jen. The lest you have to lose the slower it seems to go. Like Vix I never met my goal the first time and now the weight loss seems slower than ever. I plan to stick with it this time. Good luck to you.
Vix-How did your yoga session go?
Roger-It was humid last night, but now seems to be cooling down.
Sophie's eyes seem to be doing better, but now Vinny has stomach problems. It is always something.

Aw Jo, I hope Vinny's ok. Glad Sophie's getting better.
Yoga was ok, there were things I couldn't do. Oh, well.
Have a good night, everyone.0 -
Good morning.
I checked this morning, NS is still out there, you can edit, but can't make a new post. I'm done. I like our new home.
Have a skinny day, everyone. 0 -
Thank you for the encouraging words. I think it is really easy to give up before you reach your goals when you're close; not only is it slower than ever getting the last few pounds off, but you look pretty okay, and so you think why bother. But I do want to reach my goal. I set it, and I want to reach it! 0

Hi when it got to be near 80 in the house that was it. Even the basement was at 77.
I thought it and the living room AC were both goners. I turned them on and only the fan ran. Then Suddenly The Compressor kicked in and they have been normal since then.

Hi Jo
It seems to be humid outside and they are forecasting 90 degrees for my part of NJ. Yuck!
We had a delivery of 2 yards of topsoil and 2 yards of Black Mulch this morning. We were bothe sweated up just from filling the one raised bed and that one was in reach. Need to get a cheap WheelBarrow to move the rest of the Topsoil and all of the Mulch around.

Hi Jen
It is hard fighting off the temptation to go into maintenance mode for a while. I get around so much better etc. However I have a ways to go I suspect that if I went into maintenance mode for a week or two, coming back out of it would be tough. Not the least of which would be adjusting to an all NS diet again.
Congratulations on being determined to stay the course to goal.

Roger- you are burning lots of calories moving that mulch0 -
Shoveling is going to be my exercise for the day
Roger0 -
Sounds like a lot of exercise!
I didn't give up on my goal, I just wasn't losing any more weight! Nothing I tried would break through it.
I'm trying again, 4 years later and 20 pounds heavier. I think I can do it this time. 0 -
Vix-I know you can do it. 0
