So far I have not seen any evidence of bunnies back in my yard..that 2 days and counting. I do think I saw a bunny who looked like the spitting image of Bugs in my neighbor's veggie garden this morning. :o Bunnies - 1 Charleen - optimistic
-
Lenora - Thanks for the offer of Tux but I already have 2 cats. They are both indoor cats so they can't get to Bugs to do the deed. Loki is a hunter and I have to watch him carefully when I let them out in the backyard because he has caught the unwary bird and brought it to me. Sigh. Once had a real hunter of cat and he…

Bunnies -1, Charleen - 0 (for today) Was feeling pretty good about my bunny proofing of the gardens yesterday, feeling the burn also. Got up a little earlier than normal, fed the cats and with a nice hot cup of coffee in my hand strolled over to the living room window that looks out to my backyard and garden. There he was!…

Margaret and all - Spent the day running new fencing to keep Bugs Bunny out of my veggie garden and my knees are telling me I should have just sat out back with a shotgun and waited for him instead. (Not my style but this is my knees talking.) The little scamp managed to finish off my lovely spinach, eat most of my young…

I discovered who has been eating all my spinach growing in my veggie garden. A bunny has found a hole in the fencing and has been sneaking in to eat my lovely veggies. Put up the fence 4 years ago and not had a problem until this year. I will play Elmer Fudd this morning and re-fence 40 feet of fencing to keep the scamp…

KetoneKaren - The fairy and her garden were just right, putting a smile on my face this morning. Thank you! <3

Carol in NC, Heather in the UK - thank you for your thoughts on my question. I'm currently on a 1,300 a day calorie intake. I know this is lower than even MFP set based on my goals, but I wanted to see 'something' happen. I guess I am a bit impatient and just wanted to feel better, faster. Does that make sense? My thought…

I have a question for the group... My daughter has suggested that I put some time between a weight loss calorie schedule and a maintanence calorie schedule as a 'reward' for achieving a weight loss goal. She suggested that after every 20 lb loss I try 2 weeks on a calorie maintanence diet then after 2 weeks go back to my…

Heather and Penny - You both look ***Marvelous*** Glad to hear you had a super awesome day!

Went for my annual checkup yesterday and got a nice suprise. My bone density scan last November showed I had increased my bone density since the scan 2 years ago. Not on any pills to do this. We talked a bit about it and the only thing she could guess was my high vitimin D and calcium dosage helps and that I now keep…

I am so happy! Today is my annual physical and I did not want to weigh myself until today but had a good estimate of my weight when I started using MFP 44 days ago. So I got on the scales this morning....drum roll please...I've lost 13 lbs !! Yes, my goal was a pound a week and I have lost (on average) 2 lbs a week! BTW -…

@Lagopus Penny - love the web link to the cruise ship locations! I've been thinking about taking a cruise to Alaska in the future to try my wings at cruising. If that went well my next choice is a cruise to visit the northen countries of Europe - Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. For some reason they appeal to me much…

miriam - I feel the sadness all the way to here. He had a loving 'Mom' who gave him everything she could. He was just too fragile for this world, bless his heart. Thank you for caring and loving him while he was here. He is in a better place on the other side, whole, happy, free and forever young. <3 Charleen in Colorado…
-
Miriam - This little guy just tugs at my heart. So very young and so very small. I sure hope he pulls through. You are a saint to take him in and nurse him so. Whether he pulls through or not, at least he knew love because of you. <3 <3 Charleen in Colorado (Sunny and Dry)

Marcelyn My only thought regarding all the rain/flooding you are having comes from the movie Finding Nemo. Dory has a short little song she sings over and over whenever she is in trouble - 'Just keep swimming, swimming. Just keep swimming swimming.' Annr I love your flowers. I have been afraid to try and grow them as I…

Took time to look back at my food and excerse reports for the month of May.* I have upped the number of times I excerse per week (Aleve has been my friend) * Lowered my Sodium intake (got rid of those buffalo wings for lunch) * Lowered my Sugar intake * and find I am much more consistant about staying within or under my…

Pip Your goldens are beautiful!! Love how they take to the water. My Skye (Named for the Isle of Skye) passed away suddenly this past February and I just don't have the will to give my heart away again. Yours are such happy pups!! <3 <3 <3
-
Marcelyn - I know it feels like the rain and flooding will never end, but it will. Wet sod is very heavy, did you figure out how to count that big calorie burn in MFP? :) The demo and reconstruction of my living room fireplace continues. Living in an open concept floor plan means the construction dust is everywhere. The…

I am a happy camper! Yesterday was day 30 of my weight loss journey. Yes, I know I have lost weight, no I don't know how much as I don't weigh myself. All of my jeans are loose enough I have to cinch the belt tighter to keep the jeans from wiggling down. I still have days which I get really hungry but there less of them…

Wow, I took my eyes off of this group for just a bit and there were over 100 new entries!! The only way to catch up is to skip to the end and begin there for tomorrow.

Lisa - I think you need to call the 'bedroom' a 'conference room'. There is no closet, so of course it's not a bedroom {wink, wink} just a conference room with a really odd table.

CSSJ (((((hugs))))) Well I had a first today. Spent the entire day quilting with a friend. Am making a fast and furious baby quilt. Ran out the house after breakfast, grabbed a sandwich for lunch and had light Asian fare for dinner. MFP scolded me for eating too few calories for the day. Well! I fixed that by having a…

Sshhh! I have a secret. My blue jeans waistband is definitily much looser. (Don't want the pounds to know they have gone AWOL.) :* Charleen in Colorado (Still rainy and cold)

Hi Janet, You are correct. Had a brain fart and corrected my post after re-reading it. You look fab in your Longs Peak hike photo! Charleen in Colorado (not lost, just tired)

Penny - I live at an alititude of around 5,000ft. Altitutide sickness is common here when folks come from lower elevations and is a serious condition. It takes about 3 weeks to fully adjust to the elevation for folks coming here for the first time. I had a bad case of it at 14,000ft years ago and haven't tried to go that…

A happy and sad day today. One of my neighbors passed away this week (lost her battle with cancer) and her funeral was today. She was a young 34yrs old. It was a lovely service and we (the neighbors) will be there for her grieving husband. They had been married only 3 years. She received her diagonisis 3 weeks before their…

Penny that little floof of a flower is adorable!! So glad you shared it and the photo of bunnies (??), they look big. At first I thought I was seeing wolves. Charleen

They are calling for rain to move in overnight and for the next 5 days so today was a last gasp run to get all the veggies, flowers and shrubs into the ground before it becomes mud again. I bought 2 really cute mountain hydrandas and they are already blooming. They are supposed to bloom all summer. The soil where I live is…
