Beth - it was Great Grandma Yes 70 post menopause like me.Henry she named him she passed when he was in high school.
Sharon Seattle never have understood the whole pet cemetery separation thing either back in the day you were buried family y dog all in the same spot like the Egyptians. We were very lucky the Abruption detached my bladder their not sure the fix would hold so I pee a lot but not as bad as after my Daughter went 20yrs detached never knew... couldn’t go an hour drive without 4 stops. Tire my stomach open y my uterus looked like a popped balloon.Luckily 3 specialist jumped in they fixed what others would have given up on. They wanted to avoid a hysterectomy so left my parts sewed like Frankenstein monster. Lol glued, burned ,sewed...It was like they were doing a art project down there. Even my belly button was damaged from the inside out. My son Praise God was still in the amniotic sac ! It filled with blood so they had 15minutes to get him jaundice y all out before death they did it. Ambulance crew y fire department delivered me in 5minutes,prep time 5minutes,cut time like an autopsy 5minutes.Horrible scars but who cares Doctors listened to my forget me go for the kid! Don’t let him die! Promise me! He still had amniotic fluids mixed in with the blood wasn’t hurt a bit. Of course the bladder moved blocked him to it took a hit. 4days only in the hospital back to bed rest at home 3 months later surgery to fix what was missed y tubal tie. Poor hubby they sat him backwards shaking no time to put scrubs lol 😂Doctor said TURN Around man! He did turned white.Asked him later what made him turn pale - he still brings it up said he turned around as they were giving me pain meds after I was cut open...saw the butchers lol tossing my insides all of them on the table hard like they wouldn’t need them later. Lol he actually wakes up with nightmares about it so I tease him. Of course he expected a baby to be pulled out they pulled out a sac of bloody water popped it suctions blazing then held baby up lol. The poor man he jokes now we should have another lol. So I say can’t factory closed.He says well I’ll ask the mistress then.I hit him he giggles. He finally gets the family humor we ruined him lol.
Michelle-Moms family just a mess I avoid them like the plague just send a message or two every blue moon.On Dads side yeah were a mess but gotta love it. I’m just like my Dads mom we’re sweet lovable goof balls but we can be truthful till it hurts y oh so much of a bugger lol.
Love looking at the cruise fotos...16-18more years before I can too lol. By then they’ll have to wheel us aboard oxygen tanks y all.

1. What are your maintenance calories?
2. Do you still log your food daily?
3. Do you eat back part of, all of, or none of your exercise calories?
4. How often do you weigh yourself?
5. Do you give your self a parameter above or below your maintenance weight?
6. How did you figure out what your maintenance calories were?
I’ve had a little bit of difficulty not staying within maintenance. Any insight or information would be extremely helpful for me and others.
Mary from Minnesota/ Arizona
1. My maintenance calories appear to be about 1500 cal. ... depressingly low.
2. When I've been in maintenance, I do log daily for a while, and then usually stop.
3. When I'm losing weight, I eat back a portion of my exercise calories. When I'm at or near maintenance, I eat back most of my exercise calories.
4. Every day!
5. Yep. As long as I'm within my normal BMI there's no cause for alarm. Right now, there's a mild, low-grade cause for alarm.
6. I go with what MFP tells me ... and it does appear to be about right. Unfortunately.

@JRsLateInLifeMom Jr wow that is some story about your family birth.how hard for your mom and grandma. I'm sorry for all of you who've suffered from that. if you want to find your half brothers, many people do with DNA research now. Do you think she really gave birth in her 70s? The oldest one I have heard of was 59. Do you think your Great grandma could have been covering for a young mother then? That would have been pretty common to do so. Wow how unusual about your boss giving you a raise after she called him.
@1948Peachy wow annoying about the wrong address.did you get the papers from the neighbour?
@trucker743 thanks for your encouragements

@JRsLateInLifeMom WOW! Amber. Just WOW!
I'm going to my Craft Group this morning, then I have a hair appointment after lunch.
It's a dull day so not sure if I'll get time in the garden later. I have my flower planters done, but I want to do a couple of troughs of some of cut-and-come-again lettuces for salads to go with the tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse.

Morning! I just happened upon a great article that I recommend about "cultivating joy" I will put a link in a spoiler, hopefully this works, fingers crossed.
I think it touches upon a lot of how we all seem to operate here on this forum, looking for the good, finding the silver lining, practicing consistent mindfullness, reminding ourselves it's not a straight line and it's not all black and white.

NYKaren - thank you for that link - the "reframing" piece comes to mind as well, that a number of us have used.
Another rainy day, and a few more to come. Quite swampy around these parts, but part of my reframing for myself of late has been falling in love with my surroundings. The reason this land is so lush and green is because of the same rain that darkens the skies and makes the rivers rise. Loving this place is the first step to being settled, and blooming where we've planted ourselves, so to speak. It's a good place to be inside my head.
Other than that, another work week in progress... off to it.
Love y'all!

Did Jessica Smith’s 10lb Down DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to take the water class.
Sharon – thanks for the smile.
Kate UK – I’m the same way, I try to do a craft so that I don’t want to get something to eat. I know that if I get something (like cheese from Cheetos) on what I’m working on, it’ll just be me who has to clean it and I don’t want to make more work for myself.
Have to go count the donations at the church in a few

Finally decided to do a before and after picture, this has literally taken me years and I have a ways to go, but it will never be backwards. Goals this month, do a 28 mile ride, lose weight of course and stay healthy.

Photos: Love seeing all of the photos being posted...Tracey's weekend with the wedding crew, Pip's cruise adventure, Amber's baby, Mary's DH's tractor accident, Kate's socks, and Julia's transformation.
Mary: So thankful your husband was safe and hope they get the overturn safely righted.
Amber: What is a honrey?
NY Karen: Thanks for the link. I should have read that yesterday!
We did not get the signed Power of Attorney papers. It seems that the address the lawyer sent them to was non-existent. They are hoping they will be delivered back to the lawyer's office. DH was livid and I had to live with his temper for the rest of the day.
Overcast and Rainy here! We need the rain!

@LisaInAR That’s what I tell myself about the Irish weather. It’s what gives us colleens our beautiful complexions! 😂
@megamom WOW! WTG! Julia, you are fabulous. The old you looks okay, but it doesn’t look like the same person.

When my F-n-L was born as a preemie; they would put a brick in front of the fireplace to warm it up, and wrap him up 3x; then swaddle him up, then wrap him up to the brick. He was wrapped up 3x so the brick woulld not burn him. I guess that was an old-time incubator.8

Today (Tuesday), I was back at work.
But at lunchtime I went for a walk among the shops and came away with a plush cat (we collect plush animals and it is hug a cat day), dumpling makers to make perogies, and a ring. I've been looking for a ring like this for a while ... since March when I decided I wanted a real or simulated aquamarine. My budget doesn't run to real aquamarines so a simulated one is fine and at last I found one I liked ...

I have my dermatologist appointment this morning. A check up since I’m proned to sun damage and cancer. I’ve had 4 surgeries over my lifetime and a lot frozen off. Luckily they were basil cell carcinomas. But they took a hunk of skin and each one was about 4” long; the one on my back is longer. Plus back surgery! My body has a lot of scars!!
Fancy I decided to cut my hair because it was too heavy and it made my face look like an old witch! (In my mind!) I was always hooking it behind my ears and it was driving me batty!
My stylist did a good job! I asked her to cut it short in back, cover my ears, and leave some length on top. My crown was turning white so I had her bleach out the crown. It blends so good with the gray. It does make me feel younger! I need that since I just turned 70!
Well got to go! Thanks for all the compliments you all!
