Margaret- Happy Birthday! Have a great day Celebrating! Love the pictures!1

Took a few days off from the thread and ..... big mistake. Too many to read. So happy belated thanksgiving y’all. We had 22 people for dinner. I didn’t suffer with calorie overload but did have some chocolates and that dumped me right out of ketosis. But it’s one day. If I am strict with staying at 20 grams of carbs for the next few days I’ll be back in ketosis in a couple days. It was worth it. But to deal with the guilt I ran 12 miles with my son this morning. We had a great run. He’s really motivating although he’s worried he won’t finish his race in a few weeks (100 mike ultra marathon). I hope I was as encouraging to him as he was to me. Not sure it helped but I told him he had already done a 100k, what’s another 38 miles? Lol
I did not make my goal of having my shopping done. Almost but not quite. I have a couple of toughies to buy for.
Headed to early bed tonight. I’m beat. After the run we painted a side of our city house. Up and down ladders.

Kelly, Joaquin is such a cute kid and so into playing that guitar. If he doesn’t have one, he should.
Carol, the fruit turkey is beautiful and I can see how much work must have gone into it.
Katla, hope you feel better soon.
Pip, I like the skeleton. It’s quirky which I like.
Machka, I find the picture with the sneakers interesting. I look at it and want to hear the story that goes along with it.
Dogladytwo, welcome to the group. You sound like those 45 lbs have been a struggle for you. I hate to exercise too. I was going to start doing kettlebells but that’s on hold now until my wrist is better. I know you can do it. Just keep moving forward.
Margaret, hope you had a great birthday!
Gladius, I had my gallbladder out too and it made the world of difference. Welcome!
Allie, you stick to your guns and let your lawyer deal with Tom. You are a smart woman.
Well ate way too much today. Just spent the day resting and eating so not feeling great tonight. Just can’t eat like I use to. That’s a good thing! And one of the many things I’m thankful for. All you ladies is another thing.

Allie- just remember that Tom is only out for himself. I really would still require him to reveal all financial transactions from the last 5 years including the house remodel. Thank goodness you are letting your attorney at least take this one on.2

I've just skimmed 25 pages to catch up with you all! It's been a crazy couple of weeks for me which I won't bore you with.
Felicia ... beautiful photos! Very sorry about your sister...
Lenora ... I hope you are recovering and reading ...
Terry ... Congratulations on onederland and sorry you've broken your wrist!
Meg ... I'm thinking of you
Kim ... this is from a while back ... but I never caught the "gobble" error either! Thought the reference was to the "till"
Karen NY ... it IS good to have those college students back in the nest ...
Thanksgiving was quiet with just my husband and sons ... much to be thankful for ...

There were 21 students in my line dance class this morning (attendance is usually close to 40) and all were happy to be able to dance and be active in the middle of a holiday weekend.
Along with that, my pedometer clocked over 14,000 steps that included 149 minutes of dog walking. Also spent 105 minutes riding the exercise bike.

Today we cycled the Intercity 50 ... 50 km with a time limit of 3 hours and 20 min. We completed it in 2 hours 36 min.
The first 20 km of the ride was good, although we could see what we were heading into. Thunder and lighting ... and a whole lot of rain!! But it was warm and the wind was good.
I see 7.2 mm of rain fell in an hour between 2:30 and 3:30. All of it fell on us., and specifically into my shoes. That whale I saw earlier this week ... I'm sure it was swimming around in there!Machka, I find the picture with the sneakers interesting. I look at it and want to hear the story that goes along with it.
Thanks!
I took the photo for an online photography contest ... one themed photograph a week for 52 weeks. They chose the theme, announced it, and all the participants took a photos and submitted it during that week. I forget what the theme was that week, but I actually think it was something along the lines of "thought provoking" ... a photo that might indeed make people want to hear the rest of the story or that might remind them of something or something along those lines.
I was torn between two titles: "Come walk with me" and "Walk a mile in my shoes".
But I was also thinking about people, like my grandfather for example, who was a great walker and who I had the privilege of walking with when I was young, but who has gone on now ... and I think sometimes that I would have liked to walk and talk with him now at my age but when he was my age. In other words, I'd like to walk and talk with the 50-year old him. I have heard little bits of so many fascinating stories about him, and would have liked to get to know him better.

Machka - I used to make home made perogies. I helped Larry's Mom make thousands of them for Goose Fest. Now that was a lot of work.
KJ - Look at that little Smartie reading all ready. Joaquin is such a cutie.
Carol - Not that's a pretty bird!
Lanette - Greysyn has 2 acoustic guitars (student and full size and a Fender electric. On his wish list - a Les Paul. Today he was telling me the benefits of music for the brain ( he's thinking of becoming a neurologist)
He also believes in exercise helping the brain.
Karen - I feel like I can smell your turkey soup. Mmmmmm
Allie - Stand strong. Just keep reiterating that these discussions are better dealt with through the attorney.
Margaret - Happy Birthday.
I was at work at 5:30. It was quieter than I would have thought until 10 a.m. I was beat when I got home after doing some shopping for my kids at work.
Greysyn came and helped me finish up the last of what I wanted to do to the house. We did have a bit of a fight when I discovered that he had thrown a $5000 cheque in the recycling because he wasn't listening. He apologized and so did I . He's 14 and sometimes his mind is anywhere but listening to Grandma. Overall I enjoyed his company although I probably should tell him to quit making me hot chocolate when he comes over.
Jheri is on the front page of our local paper. It's not a great photo of her but it does showcase one of her windows. She wishes she could have been looking glamorous instead of paint spattered. I love it.
Larry got home late this afternoon. He is now saying he didn't want this party and I am always trying to control him. Sheesh! We discussed the party over a month ago. It's going ahead. I told him that fine it was just to celebrate our son but that I was not uninviting people. I'd say I hope he has a good time but right now I really don't care. He talked quite a bit about his ex wife who was also out in Vancouver working on our son's condo. It felt weird somehow. We'll see where this goes and what our next discussion brings. I had a pretty good week while he was gone.
Better get to bed. My shifts are at 6 a.m. for the next week and probably until Christmas. Ugh!

I saw on Facebook this evening that Joyce stumblee and fell this afternoon, breaking a bone in her foot in two places. She thought she had broken her elbow, it's not broken but she probably has some ligament damage and its quite painful.
Please remember her in your thoughts and prayers.
Big (((hugs))) Joyce.

I hope you lovely ladies do not mind if I join your group. I am from Nottingham, UK, aged 59 and am 40lbs and 108 days into a weight loss campaign to lose 140lbs. I have been lurking for a while but need to join in to stay motivated.
So HELLO to you all and I hope you have all had a great November.7 -
Hi Jayne!
My son lives in Nottingham. Great city!
I am thinking of Joyce right now! Thanks Janetr for passing that on.
Just resting on my bed for a minute before we set of for the local primary school Christmas Fayre. It's about 15 mins walk. This afternoon we are catching the train to Winchester for the Christmas market.
All going well so far. The meal last night was quite a performance and we still had washing up to do this morning but it was all delicious. DH is exercising, but I am giving it a miss today as we will be walking a lot. One day won't kill me.
Much love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxx3 -

to Joyce and Lenora and anyone else dealing with injuries or health stress.
Yesterday, I hit the mall with DD to help her shop, pleasant enough time, not crowded and she is so frugal, she doesn't overshop, but bought some lovely sweaters. We also went out to lunch and that's where I started to fall off the wagon hard....
Back to reality, exercise, clean out the fridge and restart the meal planning. I will be giving away the pecan pie (that's my downfall) just don't need it sending out signals to me from the kitchen!!
