Goooooood Morning Ladies!!!!!!! So happy to announce I"M BACK!!!!!!!! Finally back in the house after much joy & pain through the rebuilding process. Trying to get back into the habit of eating right & exercising. Can't seem to find my digital food scale so I'll just have to replace it. Don't think I mentioned my DD &DS…

Hey ladies.......Just wanted to drop by to say.....drum roll............................My house is FINALLY being reconstructed!!!!!!!!!! 4 months after the floods, fighting with the insurance, & mortgage companies, AND a dishonest contractor :s I'm finally starting to SEE progress. Sheetrocking began yesterday, and I'm…

Hey Ladies!!!!!! It's been a while, just checking in to briefly update...STILL not back in the house, STILL haven't gotten the final report from the adjuster :s BUT, house is gutted & contractor is ready to proceed! Might get those ceramic wood-looking floors afterall ;) . MOST importantly, DD & her family FINALLY secured…

Good Morning Ladies, just one goal for September....TO GET BACK IN MY HOUSE :# Will check in as often as I can. Thanks so much for the prayers o:)

Hello Ladies, what a VERY stressful last few months we've had here in Baton Rouge :# Needless to say, the flooding event threw my whole routine out of whack. No logging, walking, or eating right. My scale was destroyed during the flood, and it's not HIGH on my replacement list (perhaps it should be), so I can't say whether…

Hey Ladies, just dropping in to let you all know that I am ok. Thanks so much for the well wishes & prayers. I wasn't able to save much because of the mold spores. I got 9 in. of water throughout the whole house. The most important thing to me was my pictures, and believe it or not, I was able to save them ALL. Over the…

Hey Ladies, just checking in.... I'm sure you've heard about the flooding in Louisiana. unfortunately Baton Rouge was hit hard, and I lost almost everything. Not a happy camper right now

Re in Texas-if you haven't already done so, or even if you did, go back and read(re-read) Lenora's post from Monday "21 Rules". VERY INSIGHTFUL! We will never be physically that young again BUT, we get the WISDOM that comes with age. Now, if I could have the youth WITH the wisdom....look out world.
-
Not happy today...went waaaaaaaaay overboard (stayed within my CI intake) with that darn dreamsicle sherbet ice cream :# and wasn't able to walk at all. Lenora-love your advice....I just turns 55 & am struggling with the idea that I'm aging. Thank you :| Will try to do better tomorrow...again, I've got to get a grip on…
-
Vicki & DJthanks for the birthday wishes....I think I will go ahead & get me a bike. The Dr. seems to think I have plantar faciitis :o but my feet only hurt AFTER I've been sitting for a while, or when I first get up in the morning. They NEVER bother me when I'm walking. I agree with Katla I'm not liking this aging process…
-
Good morning ladies....well, just returned from my Saturday morning walk... pushed myself & increased my distance by 1 mile!!!!! Now its time to go to the grocery store :/ I think I will hold off going, and research a little bit on healthy snacks. It seems that I'm not eating any healthy in-between-meals. Especially on the…

O wow!!!!! Penny thanks for the map.. helps with my geography. For some reason I thought Iceland was directly north of the States when it's actually a bit Northeast. The pictures probably don't do justice to what you're so blessed to see everyday. Are you native to the area?
-
Good afternoon Ladies...hope all is well with each of you. Well, it seems I've been doing this MFP logging stuff WRONG :'( It never occurred to me that I need to log say.....the cooking oil I may use to fry an egg, or the mustard I put on a sandwich. I probably exceeded my CI's many days by not logging stuff like that. Now…
-
Lenora, Heather & Barbie-thanks for the input...I guess I'll have to try both ways & see what the end result is. I'm drinking about 8 bottles of water a day (whether I walk or not) so that ought to count for some weight loss by itself lol!!!!
-
Cheri are you all moving to Texas...something about A & M???? Well, if so, you know you're now in SEC country, and the rivalry between LSU (Geaux Tigers) and A & M is intense....lol!!!! just thought I share that valuable information
-
Heather-what a gorgeous baby!!!!!I have the exact symptoms you mentioned but the Dr. says it's NOT RA..says it's the residual effects of two separate falls I took over a year apart but used the left hand (I'm left-handed) to break the fall during the first, and the right during the second (because the left WAS still…
-
Heather in UK I see you mentioned that you suffer with RA. How does your Dr. treat that? and that research about dairy, does that include an occasional cup of ice cream ;) Karen in Virginia I did see something about methotrexate????? when I was trying to find out about the rheumate. I guess the bottom line, (question) is,…
-
Good Morning Ladies!! Yipee for me, I managed to get in a 2 mile walk this morning ( 1.5 yesterday) before the start of the workday! I am determined to get back on track, after kinda, sorta slacking off a bit last week. Not sure if I mentioned a few weeks ago possibly having RA. (I'm not liking this aging stuff :# will be…
-
Kim in NC I'll try both & whatever is more accurate, that's probably what I'll use, thank you.
-
Charleen Thanks for the verification! That's amazing!!!! Where can I find a picture of the geese pattern/ Karen & Iremia-thanks for the help with the acronyms-I'd like to add DSIL (Darn/Damn son-in-law ;) Michele in NC I had to step away from social media for a few days to clear my head given the MADNESS Baton Rouge was…
-
Thanks RE in Texas i'll try to remember that! Kimso every ingredient I use, when cooking, I need to enter it as the complete recipe and let MFP calculate the calories for a specific portions. I"ll try that right away...thanks
-
Charleen Do you know much about the history of quilting? I read somewhere that during the civil war when slaves were using the underground railroad to escape to the North, that sometimes, the points in the patterns on the quilts were used as guides, and the quilt themselves signified a home where they could seek food, and…
-
Good morning ladies...hope the finds you all well. Perhaps I need to set some specific goals for August. My birthday is Sunday, I will be 55 :# Where has the time gone. So here's the deal, weighed in yesterday, 214. Up since I weighed in last week, but down overall. I'd like to get down to about 180. STILL not able to…
-
Hello ladies, hope all is well with each of you. Well, things seem to have settled down here...the officers have been laid to rest, the protesters have moved on, and maybe, just maybe, we can resume our lives. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers as Baton Rouge was attacked by the unthinkable. It would take me…
-
Once again, I had to step away....it's VERY sad here. They KEEP REHASING IT, OVER & OVER AGAIN. They will lay the 3 officers to rest over the course of the weekend, and the 4th in still in VERY critical condition. When will the madness end...and we can all just love each other...LOVE IS ALL WE NEED!!!
-
Well, my plan was to say how I got a 3 mile walk in this morning, (I did), but unfortunately, there has been another shooting here in Baton Rouge...several officers shot. Please keep their families in your thoughts and prayers today and going forward, it's going to be a long week. Hope your little corners of the world are…
-
Good afternoon ladies....had to step away from social media for a few days....it became just too much given ALL the events transpiring throughout the world right now. Well, in other news....#2 granddaughter is back with her parents. She's going to a different camp next week, so I don't have to drop her off on the way to…
-
Good morning ladies....well, the pot is still simmering here in Baton Rouge. Tension is palpable, and divided for the most part, right down the center of racial lines. :# and I just think everyone just needs to step back, PRAY, and let the justice system COMPLETE its investigation. Thanks for the prayers, please continue…
-
Good Morning ladies, As you all know, I live in Baton Rouge, the epicenter right now of ALL that is going on in this country. The protest were at first peaceful, but I could just tell yesterday, that tensions were rising, & it wouldn't be long before things turned bad. And sure enough, protesters decided to move the…
-
Good morning ladies, hope the day finds each of you better than yesterday!. So, I'm back at work, (in the office today, go BACK to New Orleans on Thursday). I felt ok when I awoke this morning, but as I sit here at my desk, the soreness & stiffness is beginning to surface. Took some Advil, and hopefully that will ward it…
