I am so proud of my Bellas, so great!!!! Lori, I hope your dad keeps up the good work, you take care of you.Marianne, how great for you,high 5 to you lady!!!!!:drinker: Ok,so that's not a high 5, but, I'm proud of you. hahahahah, Evelyn, you had a bridge, I should have known!!!!!!! Yep, that's me screaming, "help me,help me,Bellas"!!!!!hahahahahhaha Evelyn, you are doing an awesome job,really,so is everyone uping the exercise, eating different, what??? :noway: Elizabeth, we're here for you, these girls were here for me, we aren't going anyplace. We'll be right by your side!

Edited by me, because I am tired of telling you all the crap in my life. I am headed out for a walk instead.

Great job Sistas. We are all still here and working at this. Which is an accomplishment for at least me. I could have given up today completely. I almost dumped the account. But I took a long walk instead. Then I came home, took a long hot bath and was going to start dinner. Then my phone rang again. More bad news and I lost it. I told Ken I needed to get out of the house and I refused to answer my phone the rest of the night.

Tonight I am back. I will be be here and I will keep trucking along. I won't burden you all with the details. Just know that things here are tough and I don't seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I know I am not the only one having a rough time and I am here for you all as well. I realize that this group is what is keeping me sane lately. I thank you all for that. You give me something to look forward to each day.

I won't be around much at all this weekend. I have family obligations to take care of. But I will be watching and supporting you all from behind the scenes.

Good Luck with this journey and enjoy the weekend.

Morning Sistas,

Denise have a great time at the Halloween Campground thingy.. I too am taking off for the day. Spending the day
with my Mom at Tampa Stadium.. The event is called "whatever women want". Fashion shows, massages, mani pedi's,
If any of you watch Young & Restless?? Daniel Goddard who plays "Cane" will also be there. Some other celebs, and music. I am sure we will have fun. Not sure what kind of food to expect.
The event is from 10-5 so I will be eating there, unless we get bored.

Marianne, I am going to stick this out as well. I know I don't get on here as often as some of you, but I am here, sometimes I just read what is going on with everyone else. Don't always post. I have 30 more lbs to lose and I can't do it by myself..

Hope everyone has a great day. I will check in when I get back..

Karen

I hope you all had a great day,can't wait to hear from Denise!!!!!! I would have loved doing that with you!!!! where the hell is everyone, having fun

---

I hope!!!

Ok, where the heck is everyone?? I am all alone and need a sista or two! Someone has to be out there somewhere.

Guess not, no one is answering my calls! Guess Ken and I will head out on the bike for the day...after a quick stop at the funeral home. Man, I hate funerals.

Everybody, if you hear me...have a beautiful Sunday. It is absolutely gorgeous here in Northern Ohio! And we all know this isn't going to last, so enjoy it while you can!

Denise

Hey Denise, here I am!!!!!!:ohwell: I was outside raking leaves and some fall clean up. What a great day for a ride, hope you and Ken can fit it in your day. I'm glad you got thru the day yesterday, and now it's just a beautiful memory!!!!hahahahaha I was all alone on here yesterday,I guess everyone was enjoying the weekend, that's a good thing. We are going camping Wed. thru Sunday, then that's it!!:bigsmile: Evelyn, you party girl, always having fun,what is that like???????lol Karen, was your Saturday as nice as it sounded like it was going to be?? Where is Marianne, Dodie,Kim, Elizabeth,come out and talk to us!!!! Ok, I will go back out and rake some more leaves, we are building a bonfire later!!!! Who's bringing the marshmellows????

Karen, your day sounds great. I'm not on Facebook, but I like Cain, was he awesome??? Those cheddar biscuits are out of this world!!!! It's beautiful here in Pa, georgeous, leaves falling,sun shining.I guess everyone is out enjoying:drinker:

If I could bottle my afternoon up I would and save it for about the middle of January. It is amazing out and we rode for hours. I did have to put my jacket on for the ride home but that wasn't even enough to worry about. It felt great just to get away and have some time with a couple of other bikes. No drama and no worries. Now I am going to crash.

Only bad thing is we stopped at Hooters for lunch and they really don't have a way to figure out their nitrition for what I had, so I used the one from Applebee's. Ken and I ordered their mini-burgers and split them. Now I have calories left and I am not even hungry for dinner. Maybe some fruit or something...nothing major that's for sure.

Karen, I am sorry to hear you are having such nasty rainy weather. All my FL friends are complaining about it. Unfortunately for us up North here, we are headed into winter so we are all appreciating this great weather we are having and sending the nasty stuff to you. In another week you will be back to sunshine and I don't even want to think about what we will be having. Sorry but we have to share the crap with you, but I was taught to share.

Marianne, sorry your SIL is a chatter box. I know how tiring that can be. Just relax now and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Peggi, you have fun with those leaves...thank goodness we only have one tree in our yard that actually does any major shedding of leaves. I would bring you marshmallows for that bonfire, but since I stopped buying them I only have minature ones in my house. I really don't think those would be too good for roasting.

Tomorrow Ken has the day off (banker's holiday) and we are hoping to get some more riding in. I will keep you all posted. Have a great evening and whatever you do tomorrow, make it a good one!!

I promise.... I didn't fall off the face of the Earth!

Howdy Bellas!

I still feel like I am two days behind, but slowly getting back to normal. Both girls, son-in-law and my parents were here for dinner. Dad seems to be doing okay for now. The situation did upset Mom pretty badly. It's hard to explain. The situation would unnerve anyone, but when you are dealing with someone who has mental difficulties, it just takes a lot more energy and patience. I am becoming more in tune with not pushing myself past my limits; acknowledging my need for a break, need for sleep, need for a good meal etc.

Peggy - Sounds like you had some quality time with Caden (such a sweetie). Good luck on the last camp out for the year.

Karen - love your celebrity photos on your facebook page. Sorry the weather was a bummer. Glad you had a nice day with your mom and sounds like you did great at Red Lobster. Still cheering you on for the Curves Contest.

Evelyn - How's that sweet daughter of yours? Love the guru update -- thx. Heat flashes seem to have subsided since my cycle completed. But, good info to ponder as far as emotional association. And, I agree with Marianne also on the sugar component. Sugar and caffeine are equal contributors for me.

Denise - so glad you survived the camping/trick or treat adventure. You are a brave woman! I am sure the bike ride was a much much welcome break. Sorry to hear for yet another loss for your family.

Kim - sounds like you have a lot going on with work demands, etc. Kudos to you for the great choices in food and exercise.

Elizabeth - Take the break you need and then COME BACK TO US.

Marianne - So glad you will be able to stay in touch while at the wedding!!!! I am looking forward to photos. Sounds like you worked a lot this weekend closing up. Points to you for not duct taping anyone for some peace and quiet.

I have all my normal classes this week and possibly an additional class Tuesday evening. College daughter is home until Tuesday afternoon. She is very happy I was able to schedule her for a massage tomorrow afternoon.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening, Bellas. Wishing us all a very prosperous week of healthy eating and exercise. Scale count down to Turkey Day!
