Hi Gang

Not much to report here today

I had a good gym session today to the point my legs were wobbly and I could barely lift my arms to feed myself after!

Legs and arms back to normal now!

Reading about the kittens makes me want one! I am just worried that living on 19th floor it will fall off the balcony!

My goodness I miss a garden!!

Stay strong folks

Faye

Good Morning Misfits,
Hope your Thursday is going great.
-Barbie, 52.5 dumbbell??? T
-Connie, Glad Cooper got a good report.
I am trying Burst Training and hoping it will help burn some fat!!!
Nancy

-Marie, Burst training is exercising at your max for 40 seconds then resting for 20 seconds and repeating for 20 minutes. It is supposed to burn fat for a long time after you are finished with your exercise. Just trying to see if something will work for me.

Hello Misfits,

We had rain today and it was pouring. We had anothe challenge sleeping last night but today should be better. All the
humidity if out of the air and it feels good.

I had my second Yoga class today and enjoyed it. I did some shopping and picked up a top, a bathing suit and some
underwear. All the Falls clothes are out now and I couldn't find any shorts. So I have to wait until next year.

I caught a bass doing some casting tonight and the guys got none.

Have a good night.

That's an interesting concept Nancy! Are you doing it on your exercise bike?

Nancy - We are at my MIL's house which we call the cottage before she moved here and made it their home.
Now she can no longer come here by herself so we are taking care of it for her, my hubby and myself for now.
She is in an apt. by our house right now year round. We took her up here twice now this summer so she can
have some time here too. She also has a lot of stuff.

The weather broke and it is much cooler today. The guys went out fishing and I went for my walk around the lake.
My daughter, SIL and grandson will be coming around 9PM tonight. Our friend Tom will be leaving for home after
dinner.

Hi gang. Sorry. I've been a little quiet lately. Been busy getting ready for school to start and company to come and Iris's birthday party. Then to top everything off I found lice on the girls!!!!!!!! I have been swamped with picking through hair and washing everything in sight and spraying down what can't be washed. And I just got the girls registered for ballet too. We now have 10 1/2 hours of dance each week. Here is a pic you ladies might enjoy. Shaundra's first pair of pointe shoes.
Glad I own a shotgun!!!!!!!!

Esther

Esther - I remember my first pair of those! A cool trick my dance teacher shared with me was to wrap my toes in bubble wrap to protect them whilst I got used to the shoes, Worked a treat! Some experts say natural animal wool by I much preferred bubble wrap ;-)

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Sunday!

Just peeking in before heading to church. Hope all of you are well and having a great weekend.

We are missing quite a few of our misfits of late. Where are you guys? Please check in with us soon. Your voices have been missed!

Stay strong!
Connie

good evening losers!!

sorry I have been MIA this week. Ruthie, I hear you, such a crazy time, I love having my kids home but I crave routine and this is not routine!!! my goal was to just maintain for this two week period, I have eaten out a ton and sometimes at places where there is very few healthy options. the sodium levels of restaurant food are so high! I am with in 1 or 2 lbs. no loss:(

I have had amazing quality time with my kids the past two weeks, especially my son. he will be 13 in November but we went to the city the other day. did some shopping grabbed some lunch and decided to go to the zoo. we were walking there and he reached for my hand and said "just like it use to be", thought I might cry.

Marie, thanks for the cookie recipes, always looking to mix it up:)
Connie, how is it going? how is the reset? you feeling good?
Ester, very impressive daughter! I always wanted to be a dancer, never passed out of beginners:(
Shirley, hope you are enjoying that delicious child. sometimes, I do wish my guys were still little. there is just something about a baby...yummy!!
Nancy, hope you are doing ok with your MIL, hope she is well!!

kids go back to school Wednesday, not that I am counting or anything!!

I'm holding my own, hoping there is a loss on Tuesday.

I've been absolutely off on exercise, but I'm still managing my food intake and choices. I dropped out of my size 20 jeans and I have size 18's now. I tried them on this morning and they are even a little loose. I can pull them up and down without unfastening them, but that's how I like them. I don't switch my jeans until a belt is mandatory.

Lots of people around me are struggling emotionally, financially, physically. A dear internet friend had a thoracic Aneurysm and is in a medically induced coma, I met her on a different weight loss site, she was the mother figure for us all, such a lovely lady, a real strong personality, but she is still critical, with no change since August 9th. She is only 56. Another friend is homeless had his daughter taken away/stolen by his now ex-girlfriend and he is trying to find them both, a third has his daughter in inpatient from a failed suicide attempt, girl is only 14, her grandfather died a few months ago and the family is barely holding on to their house due to all the costs for his funeral and now her inpatient care, another has had surgeries to repair bones, but they are in constant pain, the surgery didn't work well and she lost her job due to all the sick time, and last but not least another friend has had 4 deaths this year, her grandfather, her husband, her brother and this weekend her only son died in a car crash. I truly have no idea how she even handles waking up in the morning. Sometimes it is all so overwhelming.

I remain a strong support to them, but I need to reserve a bit for myself, as my own daughter is struggling. 17 can suck when you can't see any future. My daughter was venting online about her anxieties and depression and we ended up with police at our house doing a well check. They feel she was just overwhelmed. So I'm trying to keep her hopes alive as she just started Senior Year of High School and she does have a future, of course, even if she can't figure it out yet.

Anyway, holding my own and blessed to have all I do, really very grateful.
