Hello ladies. I’m back. The cruise was wonderful. Ron had a good time but I don’t ever believe it will be his favorite way to travel. I’ll post a few pictures. Hope everyone is doing well. Let me tell you having pretty much a 5 day news blackout was a good thing. I will continue to limit watching the news it’s too awful. I didn’t overeat but I had a few cocktails daily.
Will post my weight and goals for March later.

Time for 4-5 days a week workouts. Drink more water and back to veggie. Trying to get out of the 160s and don’t want it to take several months. But the scale is not moving right now.

My weight bounced up to almost 220 in February and is heading down again. To get back on track, I re-read "The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners - Amy Ramos." It has a very simple introduction to keto. I'd remembered about needing protein but had forgotten about olive oil, which is also key. It was just a few pages, and the review really helped.
It is encouraging to feel like it's working again.

Paula, great to hear you’re back on track. Let’s have a good month!

Great pictures, Kathy! You are beautiful and Ron is one lucky guy!!
March must be a good month for all of us. It must be...
Pat and I slept in then Sara picked up Bean so Pat and I could go p/u our taxes and go to Target to p/u my Sudafed then Ronan came over and I put on my shoes to walk to the post office and back...5.44 miles in 104 mins...it was soooo cold and windy!! AND someone broke into the blue mailbox again and it was all taped up AND the post office was closed!!!! So I couldn't drop off our mail. I didn't know they were closed on Saturday.
Sara and Pete traded Ronan for Bean so they could go to dinner with friends. They didn't want Bean by himself.
Now I'm going to think about dinner. I was going to make soup but It's a bit late and the pot won't have time to cool off enough to put in the fridge. I'll do it tomorrow.
I'm going to read and rest my feet!
Have a great evening everyone!

Back atcha, girlfriend!
And by the way, that dress with the fringed hem on the bottom... extremely ooh-la-lah! Did Ron say anything when he saw you come down the stairs? Or is that why he wanted that picture? Because, yeah, you look really great! Just Striking!

Thanks Paula. I picked that dress because orange is one of Ron’s favorite colors. I knew the fringe would make it special. Yes he wanted that picture. We went to a cabaret that night and two men seated by the door stopped us and said “lady you’re wearing that dress”. Yes they were gay. 🤣 It was so funny. Ron had a great time on his first cruise.
Kathy1 -
Yes, Lady you're wearing that dress!! And that's so sweet of them!!
Well, we have 20 mph winds and 60 degrees out there. I made soup and ground coffee beans and now I'm gonna drink coffee and read. Maybe make some popcorn.
Ronan is coming over to play w/Grandpa is a bit.
Chris0 -
Winds at 24 mph out of the west and 59 degrees. I don't even want to go out and check.
Okay, I did...the wind is cold and fierce AND a white paper plate was rolling all the way down our street on its edge!! I laughed so hard...then ran back into the house!!
That's the Weather Report for now.
Chris0 -
Chris I loved your weather report. Hilarious. Who vandalizes the blue mail box? Stupid. Our weather has been beautiful for this time of year. Walked all 3 dogs this weekend.
Kathy I can't say anything more about your dress. The guys nailed it. Glad you are back refreshed and ready to work at the best you ever.
Paula love that you are ready to get those numbers dropping again. Keep at it.
Worked on my tanks a lot this weekend. They look great. Our weather has been lovely this weekend. Took our fur babies walking both days. Also went to a flee market. Only bought a little fudge. Went to a sports bar and had lunch.
Night all

I’m sure that’s not true but we will add shopping to the agenda when you visit. Along with a visit to my nail salon since you said you’ve never had a professional mani/pedi. I love shopping for anyone.
It will be fun.
Time to get back to consistent workouts. I have a birthday goal.

Hah, I can so see that! Did they tilt their heads, raise their eyebrows? Give you diva snaps? Approval from the queens of style! Perfect!!
And they said it perfectly too. You WERE wearing that dress. I love how wonderful you look (...always, not just then). Lucky Ron.

Paula you made me see them telling Kathy how she looked in a new light. In color vision even. Thanks for the insight. I have a very gay male friend who would have done it just like that. Finger snapping for sure.
Kathy I wear my hair long because I have no clue how else to wear it. Yes frumpy. I love shopping. Especially if it ends with a great restaurant. Where I almost always end up ordering a burger.
So tomorrow we will see some changes here. I hope they are for the better.
May second is coming up quickly. I am ready though. Well mostly.

Kathy I am wondering how long should I stay. Long enough to have a great visit. And short enough so we are sad I am leaving.

Sounds perfect as I’m a loner and use to being on my own. But I think I will enjoy a visitor for a short time. 🤣😜🤣
We will talk.

Collin and I went on our walk this morning and he fell asleep 25 mins before we got home. He is still asleep almost three hours later!!! In his stroller, wearing a puffy jacket, and squeaky shoes!
Pete picked up Ronan from school and brought him here. Traded Ronan for Collin and Bean.
Pat is helping Ronan w/homework now, and I am going to do nothing but drink coffee and read!!

Chris I laughed at Collin sleeping in his stroller. Sounds like you needed a break as much as he needed a nap!
Paula are you using your phone or a computer to write here? Trying to figure out how to have emojis here. Yes we must talk.
I found 2 new baby mollies in my large tank. I had to catch them out of course. If I don't see them it doesn't bother me. But I can't stand by and watch them get eaten. To many mollies. Thumping head.

Shelley - I'm glad you had a good cruise. And I do love the dress too your color! We leave for our cruise in 10 days. We are all very excited. Going to the Bahamas. I am a little bit concerned about the eating. I've struggled so much for the past 6 months. I'm going to do my best and remind myself that it's one we got of my life.
There's a Facebook group that is actually planning activities for our cruise week. We are on the cruise over St Patty's Day so there will be a St Patty's Day bar crawl, there's a rubber ducky hiding activity which Isabella is really excited about, and a three's company misses roper bar crawl. That should be funny. I do have a Mrs roper outfit that I borrowed from a friend. Definitely need some down time. It's been a really intense couple of months.
Paula - Glad you enjoy the keto book. I too will forget about the fats right I think that's part of my problem I don't feel satiated and then I go for carbohydrates which are not my friend :-)
I've been doing a reasonable job exercising more. Finally the weather is starting to turn so I can get outside and walk. There's nothing like the fresh air to lift your spirits :-)
I struggled a bit with My mood these past months. Just feels like a lot going on between work, and Bella, and Jim's Parkinson's. I think the cruise will help :-)
Hope everybody has a great Wednesday!

Shelley,
I use my computer and type the keys that create those emojis. I saved those commands back when they were standard on MF. I couldn't get the command to line up with the picture, so you just have to count. Here's the list:
Paula :bigsmile: :blushing:
ACK! They're not working anymore!

There have been such difficult times for so many of us. Wishing for the calm before the joy.

Shelley I use my cell to post so the emojis are always available.

Just made salmon for dinner....one of our favs.
Glad tomorrow is Friday 😃. It's been a long week!

My BFF and I went to the park for the first time this year for a walk. It was a beautiful day here in Georgia. We had a 45 minute walk and I also did 45 minutes on the recumbent.
Karen I hope you and your family enjoy your cruise as much as Ron and I.

Collin and I walked this morning. We dropped one of his Paw Patrol pups…Everest…Pat discovered it was missing when we got home. I jumped in the car and retraced our journey…I found her close to home. Crazy!!! So happy!!
Then I went to my trainer for a 60 min workout. She's killing me with all the talk about moving to Tennessee in June 2026. I am crushed! She's going to work w/Pat so he can help me with all my exercises. That also means we have to clean the garage that is full of junk and kids toys.🤯 bummer…
Now I'm just gonna sit here and read and drink coffee.
Later, my friends.
