Read through the postings. Looks like almost all worries have met with good ends! It is amazing. I am very sorry about the bull who met with an electric fence. My dad had some costly bull once as I recall and he thought it was going to be a great producer so to speak. All the cows had lovely calves but it was discovered…

Goals for Tuesday. Always watch calories and don't let the little buzzards sneak in. Take 45 minutes and exercise. Get the boy through his day.

Dropping in to say Hello! Nothing new here. I have been far off the calorie plan as I went to Applebees but now I see the days dwindling (October deadline) and am trying to curb impulses strictly. I know I should have lost weight but my stomach is still round as can be. Well, back to work here. That kid did not roll out so…

I would like to think I am in a good mood today. But I am not sure. My son, for the person who asked, is 8. That's him in the picture from last November. But he has grown 3 inches and is looking skinny. Also, we (he chose, I said OK) had his hair cut in a military barbershop to 'regulation.' It was a mistake. I am wetting…

Sunday- Keep a good attitude all day. Watch calories verra verra carefully having had pancakes for breakfast. Do the 45 minutes of exercise I said I would. Go to cemetery. Don't be late for church. Stop reading cschmitz's wonderful posts that I use to keep me going. And, given the weather and so forth, work on yard.…

FRIDAY WAS A DAY FOR THE GOALS! Sorry, cap lock on. Calories very good and exercise wowza. I mowed 2 hours and swam 45 minutes. Lessons got done and took kid to art gallery. The sculptures were amazing! And the prices of items for sale probably not too bad but not for us. I forgot my church meeting. Going to try to repeat…

Oh, Penny, run, run, run. I am sure I couldn't do even 30 seconds fast but I like the idea of someone talking in my ear. Okay, I want PUMPKIN. Anyone have a LOW calorie, HIGH value pumpkin thing that can be made in 1 or 2 serving size? I will be snooping through recipes and suppose I will have to wait for something like a…

JOAN put me on the challenge list. My thoughts are please be under 170, 160 anything is good for October and the old birthday. I can do that but have been eating too much this past few days. And by Christmas, under 160. I do plan to do 2 splurges and that generally means 3 pounds appear in the next couple of days. I am…

FRIDAY Thursday goals were met, I guess. I don't even really recall them! So here goes--Friday-- 1. Get thru it. 2. Count calories and be under the goal this day. 3. Exercise 45 minutes somehow somewhere. 4. Mow some. 5. Drag kid through lessons. 6. 5 is plenty.

Just looking in to see how you were doing. Son saw YOGI above and said--that looks like Mae (his dog). And of course Mae sat up and wagged her hopeful tail for food. Sigh, I just sent the 2 dogs and the boy out for the last potty call. Can't shake the blues today.

Reporting in so I can stay accountable. I ate out at Cracker Barrel and was 4 calories short of my upper calorie limit with exercise added in. You know that's likely over in reality. My son is mad at me because he wanted to play and I made him come home. And my butt hurts just because it has decided to. I did go to pool…

In Motivation and Support, there's a gang of us that chat on monthly 50+ thread. You would be welcome there and some of us are 60+ or 60++!

Good morning to you all. I am old and have seen/done a lot. However, magnetic eyelashes are a thing I do not know. And from reading here, I am thinking I dodged a bullet! What about that string thing people do with eyebrows? Walked past it a few times but never stopped. I have mine waxed/just jerked out every so often for…

Have a good week--Monday :) CSCHMITZ-169.5 yes! I have put my ring on but then I think I might swell at night so take it off again. I want to be 165ish for the birthday but that seems not likely. Still I have reached 160 something by birthday and I am so pleased! Today, I will: think and breathe calories! exercise with…

Happy week! Up doing the morning pills and dog letting out. Will need to bath the big one-WHY DO DOGS ROLL IN STINK? Ain't nobody gonna be happy about this. Lots of left-overs and left-behinds in frig so they are on the menu today-chili, tuna salad, bit of steak. My big thought is to walk on treadmill for 10 minutes when…

Hey Wendy! I saw someone mention Australian Shepherds--they are so smart and might end up herding your little kids so well you'd always feel they were safe! They are often a one-person dog, too. Not too tiny but not big and good-natured.

Wendy Find a pup you love on looking. My favorite are mini dachshunds but every dog is an individual. We have 2 dogs and they are of an age that if they don't come when I call, I think about having to find and bury them. I can not think they have much fun with me but they are both good dogs in their own ways. They shed a…

Yesterday was not a day I planned. But then it went by. Stayed nicely on target with calories, went to the Y and played/exercised in the pool, took son to lesson and then we shopped and ate chicken in garlic sauce but did no house cleaning nor yard maintenance. Only 1 online lesson done. We got flu shots and I think…

Lenora A rainbow child is a child that lives after a person has had miscarriages or babies that did not live. It refers to the hope and promise of life. I lost 2 pregnancies and then had a hemorrhage that took my son's twin but I was able to hang onto him. Three attempts of IVF did not work for me in addition to the ones…

Happy Saturdays to us all. Chris You made me want a red dress. Rye That range is a keeper. I recall when my grandmother had a black cast iron stove with wood inside and heavy burner covers she lifted with a big black pokie thing. Then she got an electric range with 2 ovens. Meg Thinking of you and your daughter. Katla When…

The ring went on but then I ate too much and I worried my finger might swell in the night. I think I can keep it on in 10 more days. It doesn't really look right with my husband's ring still on but I don't want to take that one off. It does threaten to slip off when I swim. I also am shooting for my birthday (19 days) as a…

BEX well, humph on that rage. I like showers but of course have to pay the water bill. Still, a warm smelly bath might help the aches. My calories were in the goal, I exercised 80 minutes. Son got his meetings and his lessons done. All meetings/classes/places to be were done. I cleaned the stairs, did 2 loads of laundry…

It was a good day here. I made chili like my father taught me. I don't get it quite right but it is good enough to eat. He had 3 different soups he made and they are the things I cook that are the best comfort foods. I am trying to teach my son about his grandparents and hope I can tell him enough that he will have some…

Happy day to you all. MACHKA Thanks for the video-I have felt so pressured by things that I don't stop for little things and take joy. But I did and babies are just cute. BARBIECAT That little white pup is precious. JOYCE Oh, no--a fuss at church! We had something similar last week and I did not know what to make of it. I…

Those Tasmanian Devils look friendlier than I imagined! I am thankful tomorrow will come soon. TaTa for now/

Glad today is over. Will try again Thursday.

I spray spiders and other bugs to death. Once when we were first married, a bat got into the bedroom. I told my husband it was in the marriage agreement that husbands do the bats. He caulked and sealed everything up the very next day. I got the have-tos and need-tos done yesterday but not the extras. I have been eating…

Morning all. Busy day today. From what I could find on Internet, I am doing well not to respond to the lot offer. Already feels warmer outside so I guess all storm possibilities have passed over.

Sharon I am sorry for that man you have at your house. We are here for you. Well, Irma isn't coming here. And the next one isn't going anywhere from what I hear. Please don't feel bad for me--but prayers are always wonderful. I am getting up to clear some junk from car including my son's car seat. He is old enough and big…

Good morning this Tuesday. I sort of aimed at yesterday's goals. No progress on cleaning the car. I am trying to persuade the kid to get out of bed. I can go drag stuff in house and then drag him out if he does not appear shortly. Today, I will observe and stay under calorie allotment. I will exercise for at least 30…
