@2020pinktogo Congrats on your new haircut. As long as YOU love it, all is good. I'm sure your hubby will get used to it and start loving it too. I'm feeling good again. My clothes are floating on me, very comfortable in these hot, muggy days we've had lately. My scale still disappoints me, but I'm feeling fine. Have a…

I knew you were talking about food for animals. I've seen on television other cultures enjoying insects though...fried grasshoppers, chocolate-covered crickets, and yes those fat worms. I gag easily on regular food as it is. I don't even like pancakes or pizza. Trying new foods is not easy for me. My problem is that I eat…

I don't think I'll ever be hungry enough to eat an insect.

It's funny how the thought of fireflies brings a smile to people's faces. We see it and say "Let's catch it!" A roach on the other hand, we see it and say "Kill it! Kill it now!!!"

@2020pinktogo It's about time Crazy started walking! I hope she's not just taking time off with pay. Playboys at church...LOL I mowed again yesterday. Rained again today. So much rain this year! But mowing is exercise so at least I'm getting some exercise in. Rain also means more fireflies. Love watching them in the…

@CaptainBoing Donating hair is a wonderful act of friendship. There are so many people with cancer today. @2020pinktogo I, too, am all for "less is best." My mom has kept stuff that she got after each of my grandparents passed away, and now after 60+ years in the same house I would say her house is full. Plus, she has…

@JMarcella57 Congrats on getting those sweet cravings aside. I wish I could get to that point again. That really makes a difference.

That's awesome!

I had been wanting to walk more, and rain kept interfering. Right now, the sun is shining, and of course I don't feel like walking anymore. I might not be walking any faster than I used to, but I am surely able to walk a lot further. I used to tell the kids to go get the mail from our community mailbox. That's how lazy I…

Not posting my weigh-in info because I've not been sticking to my plan. I'm not going to stress over it. I will keep trying. I am hoping for a new wave of motivation to come my way.

I would do college again but pick a different field. My dad paid for my college, and I have helped my kids pay for theirs. I'm all for education, but I understand there are different types of education. And nowadays a college education doesn't guarantee a career so it's a risk.

What kind of a nut factory do you work at?!!!

:) I'm home! My phone works! :/ I ate too much and moved too little.

@JMarcella57 Thanks for the support. @2020pinktogo How did you hurt your head? Did you get in a match with @CaptainBoing? One more thing, to make things worse this weekend, I dropped my phone in the toilet!!! I rescued it right away (ewwww), gave it a quick rinse, toweled it dry, and have it sitting in a container of rice…

I'm in Brownsville again with my mom. Yes, she has been sick lately, but that is no excuse for not taking the dogs out!!!! I might have to take one of the two dogs home with me because she is not doing them or herself any good. And I am going to tell her if things don't look better when I return in two more weeks, then I…

It's always nice to get news that is better than expected. Let's keep it up.

You have such an amusing job. There's always something interesting going on. Lucky you.

4/23: 211.8 lbs 5/02: 210.2 lbs 5/09: 212.0 lbs I'm still having my ups and downs. It's my own fault for not following the eating and exercise plan faithfully. Saturday I walked for an hour and a half. Yesterday nothing. Today maybe 30 minutes. I am not being consistent. But I'm not gonna quit!!!!

This helped. Thanks.

Sue, enjoy your special non-work day. It's about time!

Don't Quit by John Greenleaf Whittier When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don't quit. Life is queer with its…

Modern medicine has come a long way. It could be something that can fixed or controlled with meds. My mom, by coincidence, went to the hospital yesterday. She was diagnosed with pleurodnia (lung pain due to coughing) and mild congestive heart failure. She has already been sent home with meds. She, too, did not want anyone…

I've gone from bad to worse...on my eating choices. I'm not going to get upset. Log it and move on. Tomorrow is another day. Again. @JMarcella57 I, too, have lawn and gardening work to do again. I hope I actually do it tomorrow. I need the exercise. @2020pinktogo You are doing your part, and you enjoy your own "support…

It's teacher appreciation week and there are goodies at work every day. I'm not doing well at resisting. It's a shame.

@2020pinktogo LOL @Living360 Work does have a way of controlling our lives sometimes. Getting back on track is the way to go. I keep slipping off and getting back more times than I care to count. I'm thinking about finally buying a digital food scale. I have this idea that it is for "extreme dieters". I don't know if a…

I'm home and I'm happy. My scale at home welcomed me back!!! 4-23 211.8 lbs 5-02 210.2 lbs I finally dropped below my pre-spring break weight. It's been long overdue. Thanks for the motivation. Now, to keep it going, I'm headed out to the grocery store to stock up on healthy food for the week. :)

Hi, all. It's sunny here in Brownsville, TX. I took my mom to church this morning. That's as much as she's going to do today. My brother is coming to relieve me this afternoon so that I can get the grocery shopping done for my mom before I head back home tomorrow. There is a slight chance of rain but not much. It feels…

I weigh two more pounds on my mom's scale than I did last Saturday at home! Not fun. I'll weigh again at home on Monday. On the plus side, my nephew came by and did a second take when he saw me. "Did you lose weight?" he asked. "Yes," I answered, "And if you find it, I don't want it back!"

I'm not and don't plan to be a superhero. But I will at least try to be patient and calm and not let myself get derailed because of a temporary situation.
