Judy, be easy with that shoulder and mind your PT and docs! Dave had surgery for a torn rotator cuff in August and it was a full 5-month rehab with him exceeding all expectations. There's nothing fast about it. Please be patient with yourself and ((HUGS)).

Judy, so sorry to hear about your injury. That was quite a tumble! Janet, good for you for finding your inner veggie mojo. I'm trying to focus of fruits and veggies to keep my mind off sugar! Bert, you must be doing well post-surgery. It seems like every time I pick up my phone I have a message to congratulate you for…

Hi y'all! Long time no talk to! I haven't fallen off the earth and at least still have the wagon in sight although the sugar monster has reared its ugly head this week. Today is a new beginning though and if I've flubbed up enough to have a gain this week at tomorrow morning's WI, I'll just have to own it. We've stayed…

Hi gang! I'm checking in from he parking lot of Walmart in Roswell, NM in route to AZ. We frequently "camp" at Walmart when we're driving cross-country. Most stores actually welcome campers and truckers. we've even seen a few that had water or electric hookups. Myra, I'm a tornado baby, too. The 5-3-99 tornado that hit OKC…

Mornin' y'all! I'm sitting in the waiting room waiting to have my annual Breast MRI. Although I've not had any Breast issues, I'm considered ultra high risk since we lost both my sister at age 39 and my mother to Breast cancer. Also on today's agenda - an hour or two of work to share some info with a colleague and complete…

I know it's early, but pleaseKEEP MY MINI GOAL THE SAME. We'll be off the grid quite a bit during this trip, so I may not be posting much. I need to maintain that momentum.

Hi gang. It's way past time for me to check in. The Mardi Gras trip where I got to have supper with Karla was a roaring success on all fronts. We had a great time and my WW plan for that week worked well! My plan was track everything every day except Fat Tuesday and limit the gain to no more than 2 pounds. After getting…

I'm home! More later - it's bedtime.

Mornin' y'all! Finally a slow morning with a chance to post. We had a great time with Karla last night and gave her a ride because we didn't want her "endangering herself and others" driving after dark! (Wink, wink). Don't let her fool you, though, in spite of that wicked bad fall, she looks fabulous - even with stitches…

Whew! Mouse poop purged. EeeeeeeeYuck! It was a really nice day to be out at the farm though. Sunny, although windy and cool. As a very pleasant surprise, the young man who's renting the farm ground came out to finish up the fertilizer job and we had a good visit with him and his wife. I always feel so renewed after being…

Wooo hooo! Look at me with time to chat! Thursday’s are a non-Y day for us, so here I am with no real plans for the day. After it warms up some this afternoon, we’re going out to the farm to do a little work on “Tulip”, our RV. Dave needs to change the oil and I’m going to start the mouse poop purge….yuck! As you can…

Quick stop to say mornin' y'all! It's bright and sunny but cold here in OK. I think today I'll have some computer time this afternoon and will get back to chat some. Cindy - does your dentist offer you the nitrous oxide gas? I'm a big time dentist chicken, too, but my dentist will even give me the gas for cleanings.…

It's late but I can't sleep so thought I'd report in. It's been a busy couple days, but I've gotten a lot done - including tax crap! I have everying ready to take to CPA, just waiting on some 1099's. I got the farm books done and sent to CPA. Got some other medical paperwork done. Yesterday was dedicated to my youngest…

Ha! Thanks formal the pizza avoidance kudos, now I need prayers to continue to be strong. Dave's home from the lake and brought......you guessed it.......LEFTOVER PIZZA! I am coping so far by assuming he's inventoried his stash and will know if I swipe some!

This is a FYI public service announcement for my fellow "old folks" who may not know is. During the course of my recent technology hell of a new laptop, iPad and iPhone all in the same month, my entire music library of approximately 200 CD's which had been imported into iTunes disappeared into nowhere land. I don't…

Patti, the only stops we actually have scheduled are a few days in Phoenix with my cousin and his wife who live there, then a few days at the Grand Canyon. The rest of the 2 1/2 weeks we have available and unscheduled. Neither one of us has spent any time in AZ to speak of, so we're open to any and all suggestions as to…

Lisa, maybe your body is just taking a pause to catch up to the new weight. During my first WL journey 9 years ago, my body settled into a pattern where I would experience a mini plateau for a couple weeks at approximately each 10-pound interval. With the amount of exercise you're getting, I wouldn't worry too much, I…

Lisa and Mary Lynn - I'm watching an interview with your new Canadian PM. He seems very smart and engaging. I confess that I haven't really paid much attention to Politics in Canada and was very pleasantly surprised by how young and energetic he seems to be. It's also intriguing that his background is a teacher, not…

Mornin' y'all! It's bright and sunny, warm and windy here in OOOOOOOOklahoma where the wind comes sweepin' down the plains! Yes, our official fire weather season has arrived. We not only have tornado season, we also have grass fire season. Yesterday several towns in SW OK had record high temps in the mid 80's. In OKC we…

I just have to brag on myself. Really wanted pizza for supper. Jessi out on a date, Dave's still at the lake, so it's just me and the dogs and I wanted pizza. I paused to look up the WW smart points to decide whether I wanted to try one of Papa Murphys take and bake or if I wanted my usual Pizza Hut veggie lovers. After…

Hi gang! Down 2.4 at WW this morning, which puts me 5.2 from my 10% goal! I think I'm going to make myself a visual board like one I saw on our local WW FB site. It's a poster board with post-it notes representing each pound you have to lose. I'm going to use a different color for each "decade" and maybe will note each 10%…

Hi gang! It's very late but I wanted to check and see what's been up while I was at the lake. MaryLynn - my hike was good, but I think your view was even better. We hiked a total of about 4 1/2 miles and visited some springs in the national park near our lake place. It had been a while since we'd done that stretch - over a…

Karla - we will arrive late evening on Monday, February 8 and will head home Friday, February 12. So we'll be there Tuesday - Thursday. I anticipate Tuesday will be all day Mardi Gras stuff. The Athena parade is the first one that morning and then the ball that evening. Probably a late start on Wednesday with the late…

Busy day has led to another late check in. I worked today conducting some one on one training and we left for the OU women's basketball game shortly after I got home. Eating not really stellar today, but all tracked.

Forgot to tell you my ball gown isn't really a "gown" - it's a long skirt made of gauzy like fabric and a top with crocheted lace and fringe. I'd post the pic that I sent to Jodi for final approval, but I look like a big dork. Maybe a group pic from the actual ball later.

Janet - we must have been posting at the same time earlier. I can't believe your doc wants you at that low a weight! I'm so very glad you spoke up and told her that was nuts.

Hi gang! It's sunny and cold today here in OK. I've been on the phone for the last hour with doctors office and insurance company trying to get bills straightened out from my broken foot. Why in the world does this have to be so dang complicated and why in the world can't my insurance company hire competent employees!…

Ok, I'm going to have to go back and take notes to do personals for everyone. It's still such a joy to come here and have lots of posts to read through! My 3 NSV's last week: had to buy SMALLER sweats because mine were falling off my butt. Found an outfit for the Mardi Gras ball I'll be attending in a couple weeks in…

Hi gang. Slow day here. Dave's settling in for his nap and I'm fixin to head out to a baby shower - I had the day wrong - it was today, not yesterday. Have I told y'all about my sore tailbone? I injured it the first day back to spin class and it not only isn't getting any better (two weeks tomorrow) it now has the…

Wowza! What a lot of posts to read to get caught back up! It makes me so happy to come here and see so much activity and positivity! I kept very close to my goal of tracking it all this week while traveling, but it got pretty ugly when the sugar monster got me. WI today was up, as I deserved given what I ate. I am proud of…
