    Janetr7476 – beautiful ring and bracelet. I’m still trying to find any box that we did not unpack when we moved out here (15 years ago) to find my Chinese Warrior I bought when my BF and I went to Birmingham, AL to see the display and maybe find a ring that I have been missing ever since, too. Maybe this weekend he will find the box of pictures of the kids while he is at it so I can send some to my DDnL#2. She’s making a daily journal to give to DYS for their first anniversary (paper).
    We got trapped at my sister’s for an extra week (as vacation) when a hurricane (I think it was Inez; over 20 years ago) because it caused flooding here (500 year flood). Albany, GA had never had a recorded flood in all that time. I’d call boss so he could check to make sure our house was not damaged. Both ends of the road were flooded to the extent we could not have made it home. Bridge (only one to cross to get over Lake Blackshear was flood (or/ high) to the bottom of the bridge; one week later, the lake was dry when a dirt damn burst, flooding Albany and the surrounding areas on the lake, creeks, and people had to be saved by boats.

    Miriamwithcats – There was a lady who almost killed a Pediatrician in town by poisoning him; went on to try to murder patients in the local hospital before she got caught and sent to prison for 20 years. She is actually the wife of my DDnL#1’s boss. He divorced her when she went to jail; and, then remarried her then remarried her when she got out. I would have been afraid to be around her. IMHO.

    Really thinking about all of you in the path of the 'big storm' that is bearing down on you. Hope you were able to get your needed supplies. We are only supposed to get heavy rain and tornadoes around here. DYS was hit with incredible rain and there were several tornados in Louisiana around where they live.

    The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT.

    Heather ~ Love their pretty blue eyes and rosy cheeks.

    Michelle ~ Your fish looks so cheerful. I'm sure it will be very welcoming to your visitors.

    Icy cold rain here. Tried to walk the pom but he decided he wanted no part of the rain drops.

    Eight Tries - finally got my soup recipe added to my foods. LOL! Now MFP is showing 2 things on Food which is only 1 ingredient each. Don't know if I can change/delete it or not.

    Beautiful grandkids. Love age (or what seems to be theirs).

    Beth sorry you've got the crud, drink tea, stay in bed as much as you can! Take care.

    Janet no question about it, I would stay in AZ as long as possible! We are looking at some SNOW in midatlantic and AZ sounds just about right to me.

    So my plan for Snowmageddon is to clean and organize a few closets, shovel the snow and perhaps bake a lot for DH. I am stocked up with good food, not junk, and plan on eating my way through the freezer and pantry for the next two weeks, so I have no plans for grocery shopping for 2 whole weekends. We'll see how that goes!

    Stay safe travelling folks to all of us mid-atlantic folks, esp. D.C., Baltimore and Phila!

    Oh my finally caught up had three pages to read. Didn't take notes would have been way to time consuming bad enough it's after ten am not even showered yet. Oh well still a lot of day left.
    I did go visit wii and he smiled again this morning. Would be nice to see him smile every morning for a week. But for that to happen I have to work for it. It's all up to me.

    Thanks all for your comments on the bracelet and ring. We are off today to explore a near by "mountain". It is only a dirt road but suppossd to have beautiful views.

    Heather, the grandkids are so cute. When is the new one coming? April is what sticks in my mind. Today is my youngest granddaughter's birthday, she is 15. Love the pics.

    It's so hard to get the weight off this time around! Age, collateral damage from chemo, instantaneous menopause..the stars and planets aren't aligned correctly, whatever...it's only coming off in ounces, not pounds! I'm looking for some encouragement and a rallying of kindred spirits!

    Welcome aboard! You've been through rough times these past couple years. It is so discouraging when you do everything right and see the scale register a .2 loss. I've seen that more than once. It's hard to hang on to motivation when that happens. However, those small losses eventually add up to a pound and that danged scale is headed in the right direction. Take your measurements. Log how you feel after climbing stairs, walking, jogging, riding a bike, dancing, etc. How do you feel first thing in the morning or last thing at night?

    What I am saying is track your progress beyond the scale. Loser clothes, more energy and increased stamina can add to the motivation to keep going when the scale isn't budging.

    Keep going. You can do this!

    I had my yearly follow up with the Cardiologist this morning. I was diagnosed with heart failure 2 years ago, due to heart damage from the chemotherapy. I am really excited to say that today I was told that everything is back to normal and she is changing my diagnosis from Heart Failure to Prevention of Heart Failure and I just need to follow up once a year! I'm so excited! I'm no longer considered in heart failure and that is an awesome feeling.

    Congratulations! That is really good news. I am thrilled for you.

    Did I share that I got a letter from my cardiologist about 4 months ago? He "fired" me as a patient. I'm doing so well that he no longer wants to see me and all follow up on the meds he prescribed is up to my regular doctor. I did a happy dance when I read that letter. Here's hoping more of us get "fired" from our specialists as we get healthier.

    I'm pleased with my progress thus far. I am 52. In September of 2015, I weighed 164.5, and at my new average weight of 157.5, I've managed to lose seven pounds, which is pretty good!

    I was talking to my daughter last night, and we were discussing our driver's licenses, and I realized that I need to get my driver's license renewed this year. It's hard to believe I'm going on four years, because back in 2012, I was getting ready to have right hip replacement surgery.

    I used the recovery period following the sugery to practice careful eating management, and I actually got down to 152, which is only seven pounds heavier than my wedding day weight of 145.00. I'd like to get to 145, so we'll see.
    Frustratingly, after I started getting more active again, the weight crept up! Until I was back at 167.5.

    So as some of you have said, I'm taking baby steps.

    Good morning ladies! I hope everyone is having a great day so far.

    Stronglifts Rest Day

    Goblet squat-3X7X 25
    Kettle bell swing-22X 10 X 25

    I was a little frustrated today when I weighed myself and gained 1.4 pounds. So, I increased my kettle bell swing by one rep. I also took my measurements and found that I lost 1 inch in my waist. That made me feel better!

    Hi everyone --
    Well, as I thought was going to happen, I lost my job yesterday. No fault of my own but it was a startup and they misidentified the skill set needed. I'm ok with it though. I knew it was coming and oddly, it's kind of a relief to have it done and over with. I was prepared. So now I have time on my hands to spend on getting fit! I did get mugged by some cookies last night. They pinned me down and jumped into my mouth.
    I slept until 9:30 and it's 11:30 and I haven't had breakfast yet.
    Feeling disorganzied at the moment. Will be back later.
