Terry - the years I spent in deep depression and having therapy and taking courses are still vivid memories. I taught psychotherapeutic drama techniques for many years, but the pain was still strong. I was scared to bits when I started my memoir, but it has been the best therapy.
The next volume will help to heal my teenage years, I hope.
Still decluttering despite the +&#@=# house debacle. Oxfam took 3 more boxes of books this morning. I
getting rid of stuff.
Kim - You are doing such good work with your nephew.

Kim: You have a very busy week. I hope you'll be able to get enough rest to see you through it all. :flowerforyou:
Sharon in Lethbridge: It sounds like you are doing the right things for your health, both physical and mental. I hope you find peace and happiness, soon. I think Harmony may be contributing a big part of your joy these days. I hope that you find even more each day. (((HUGS)))
Lisa: Congratulations on your pound down. WTG!
Heather: I agree with Karen from VA that the home buying system in Britain is unbelievably complicated. It seems like a giant game of musical chairs orchestrated by :devil:.

My weight has been sneaking up and I need to get in gear. Back to measuring portions for me.

Congratulations to my husband he made it to onederland today. Since we started prepping for our three week keto challenge he has lost a total of 13.2 pounds! I have also been doing well I have lost a total of 7.6 pounds!
Love all of the baby pictures! They always brighten up my day!
Heather - so sorry to hear about your house situation! Praying for you and a great outcome. I also tried to download your book from Amazon onto my Kindle but it did not work. I'll have to have some Little child help me with that!
Machka - (((hugs))) and prayers to you and your husband! You are an inspiration to others. We are praying for a miracle for your husband.
Have a fantastic day everyone!

Hello My Friends,
Just checking in to let you know I'm still around. I've been loving all the pictures. Please keep sharing.
I still think of you daily and miss you. I'm exercising again but not as much as I hope to. I did finally drop about 5 pounds so it's a start. Wishing you all the best in whatever life brings your way.
Much love,
DJ

Heather- btw, I keep forgetting to mention how I love the pics of the your family! The beach picture was beautiful; is Jess going to use it on/in her blog? Good choice as they all are back to the camera. I love how each one's personality shines through when the camera is on them.
KarenVA- What a special moment for Olivia and Phoenix's mama! So glad it happened!

Mary - it may be that you pressed the Kindle Unlimited instead of the to buy one underneath in miniature. It's very tiny.
Back from my run. Felt good after a few days break. I downloaded a new tune. 'Get out of your lazy bed'.
Much love, Heather UK XXXXXX5 -
Went for a desert walk yesterday and when I got back, discovered power was out. Made a few calls and found out entire town was out and no one knew why. So, DH decided to go the 35 miles to town for lunch. We stopped at Ace Hardware and got a pipe cutter and new coax cable for the antenna. I had fried fish and chips with a side of California veggies. Ate the veggies and fish, not the French fries. Got home and power was back on, but so windy you couldn’t even stand still!
Ps —found out I retain water from salt or/and fried foods! Up half pound over night!

Machka, thank you for all you have shared about the journey you are on with your husband. You are walking a difficult road and have brought me along to learn some important life lessons with you. Barbie 5

Machiavelli- your words hit me right where I needed to be nudged. I can physically do what I need to do to lose the weight and get fit. So, I will just do it. You are so strong and resolute about your situation that I am in awe of you. Keep up the good fight and prayers for continued progress for DH.

Penny Mama gave me cod liver oil as a child. Lemon flavor was not an option back then. Yuck :sick: Hooray for progress!
Felicia
flower pics. Have some similar plants down here, wondering what they are. Any clues?
Rita the daisy looking one doesn't look like sagebrush to me (saw a LOT of that in SW Idaho) Could it be some other kind of "sage" like Jerusalem Sage? Lil Wicket couldn't be any cuter!
KJ Joaquin pics. Hope his mama has a big baseball bat for all his groupies-to-be.
Lanette "mostly muscle" Inspiring! How long have you been SWSYing?
Terry your new bracelet looks very elegant to me!
Beth Hooray for the normal mammo and DYS progress. Bet you're right...
Katla "wish I knew what all of them are" ditto. Even though they're wild-not-horticultural, think I might taking samples to the master gardeners' open clinics to see if anyone can tell me.
Rori we LOVE TCM.
Allie 10K steps, VERY well done!
JanetR darling ggands
Michele, I've heard of shoo fly, chess and vinegar pie, but grapefruit???
Dana "lack of peanut butter cookies" LOL!
Machka "not optional" that is the truth. Well done. Healing intentions to your DH, power and peace to you.
Kim "do-aheads for dinner" Love this.
Sharon so happy for your week with Harmony. Healthful for both of you.
Lisa happy-dancing for your continued scale victories! So with you about tall stools and knees.
KJ what you said about doing because we can, because we care for ourselves, YES!
Karen from VA Your Katie is a wise one, didn't fall far from your tree
NYKaren "...doesn't mean we have no choices" in how we face challenges, well said.
DJ conVERYgrats on the 5 lbs.
Yesterday started sunny and bright, clouded up and spat rain in the afternoon. Beautiful this morning, hoping it stays dry through dog group.
Time to meditate, break fast, dress to shoes and make "do-aheads".
Thank you all for the inspirations, this morning and always. Healing (((hugs))) to one and all.

Good morning everyone! It's a quiet Saturday herre, just hearing the wind outside bustle through the trees, and my coffee maker doing it's thing. Just ate Yoplait Whips chocolate yogurt, and it was strange like tart mouse dessert. I think I will stick to citrus yogurts for that.
Down a bit more this morning! Yay me! So I have six beads now.
Started at 250.6 and now 244.2. Logging, measuring, and eating the correct way is long and arduous! I get that it's not suppose to be easy. Any changes for the long term usually aren't. Self change is messy, emotionally and physically. But, I am in it to win it!
Still haven't heard much from son on how things are going. His wife, our DIL is still in hospital.
I'm going to meddle into youngest Nuke son's life today and call him! He hasn't called since last month! We did text, and he knows we've moved though! I hate/love that he is so independent and doesn't really need us. But l miss my sweet Owain.
Everyone have a blessed day!

Greetings Ladies -
Suebdew - was your post to Machiavelli supposed to be to Machka? I think I like your autocorrect even better than when mine autocorrected to Nacho.
Rebecca - Hang in there! Your bracelet is looking really nice. Patience is the key, something that I know is hard to come by in the journey to a lower weight.
Lisa - I agree on the tall tables. They also make my knees hurt. Of course, most things make my knees hurt. They definitely hurt MUCH less now that I'm at a healthy weight.
Machka - continued prayers for peace, patience and healing.
We are getting some rain here today. We need it. I also see that OK is getting a lot of rain! They need it for the wildfires that have been burning.
I have been putting away the glass that I bought last weekend. I so love all the pieces I got in the mail yesterday. I think I will continue with the some purging in the kitchen since I have made a start at it. I had to move some stuff around because the chargers I bought wouldn't fit in the cabinet with my dishes. They were just a TINY bit too wide for the cabinet to close fully. I'm afraid if I get started, everything may come out and find a new home. That will teach my husband to not come home on the weekend. He will have to hunt for his cereal bowl .
Have a great Saturday everyone! Hugs!
