My middle son has his house wired up with siri, or Alexa, some gal that turns on lights and shuts them off. Every night their rhomba vacuums their living room. When they want to set a baking timer they just ask her to set it. Its quite amazing! Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Well, down to 225.8 lbs, since starting this Zepbound journey. That's 23 lbs. Half way there, until I get to knock on Onederland's door! Slow and steady. I was getting a wee bit antsy when no movement on the scale from 20th until today, but that's just how weight goes. Its a lot of change and its just adapting. Today was a…

As I get older I do apologize less and just think "whateva".😂😁👍🏼 I always get a deluxe and it cones with the warm wax in a baggie, plus a scrub for the feet and lower legs. She was young and so she could converse easily with me which was nice. I always feel somewhat limited when our conversation mainly consists of pointing…

Mo, I have embarrassed my family by running around a restaurant patio because there was a bee! I just can't be rational about them. The same way with bats! We had a bat in another rental home and I was so terrified! It took me weeks to settle back down! It had come in thru a crack in the fireplace, so throwing him out,…

It's so hard to see our friends declining health. Its like that for my middle sister and I. I thank my lucky stars that my life is reasonably in healthy shape, and I wished that my sister would stop just guessimating all her health issues, or masking them with drugs and alcohol. Every time we video chat its one new guess…

Margaret, You are so beautiful.💖 You smile up to your eyeballs which I admire! Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Mo, ah, toe nails can put your eye out if they hit ya, so I just have the pedicure ladies do it. Plus when I dip my foot in the plastic baggie filled with really warm hot wax, it makes me feel special. I always apologize to her regarding my hairy legs. Its like, deal with it. I just refuse to participate in the shaving…

Ooh man I had to really wrestle with my brain this morning! I had told husband I needed to sleep for 1 hr more, I was just tired. He normally does laundry on Wednesday so I told him I would start it when I woke up. So then my brain pondered the day of course, then my bladder joined in, and then I was like Aaaack I will get…

Yep, plus they got along with their Mom's friends kids like peas and carrots. I know my DIL was like ah, can't we move to Utah??? But son was like tooo hot! Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Speaking of grands, this one of my Eli in hot Utah pretty much is self explanatory!😥💖 Then they got into water so he was happier! And Athena! Athena looks like she is double jointed! I will have to ask son about that! Today I kept it fairly easy at the gym. Leisure walked! But my heart rate was 120 so some workout and in…

Heather, Your grands are just precious, growing up so fast! I recall them just tots! Enjoy every moment! Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Oh, so glad you are feeling better! The positive side of being healthy is that when you do feel under the weather you kick it pretty fast.💖👍🏼 Enjoy your day, but pace yourself!😁 Rebecca Whidbey Wa

I love that kind of meal, it has a careful, mindful approach, and it harkens back to our hunt and gatherers lifestyle. It makes me smile to put healthy items on the counter, and know that these things when chopped, steamed or baked with be my fuel for the day. I remember watching a BBC program that would pile a days worth…

I appreciate your encouragement! I do weigh myself every day, but just trying to see the ebb and flow of how this medicine shows up on the scale. After dose day I usually do a hiccup in weight, then a loss. Its usually on a day I have eaten on the high end surprisingly. To have this nice relationship with my scale, as a…

Yesterday was a struggle to just EAT! I had my 5 Shrimp dusted with Old Bay and 1/3 cup of protein cheesy pasta. I struggled to finish. Then I had planned my protein pizza but it was just a no. I ate 6 chicken nuggets, some red bell pepper slices, 5 cherry tomatoes with a T. of fat free dressing. I was supposed to eat a…

Machka, I will read the manuals etc and maybe drive in an empty parking lot so at least I know what do to. My knee jerk reaction if anything happened to husband is to just sell the car, but that's not reality. I need to be more brave about it all. Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Carol, I have never bought eyeliner in my entire life!😁😂🙃. I think there would be major problems if ever I used some! Drives my eldest sister crazy because she's always trying to put something on me, before we go out somewhere. "Let me put some blush on you, or here you need mascara"!! I sometimes flee, but most of the…

I agree with you in the participation award nonsense. While its nice to get something saying you attended etc, the no winners or losers is not teaching them the realities of life. Gracefully losing is something to learn, and humbly winning is a good thing to learn as well. Coaches play a big part in a child's self esteem.…

Today I am zapped of energy. Dealing with a head ache too. Was going to have a pedicure but naah, I still am kind of constipated, which is just my digestive system working slower which all the things I am whining about are the normal side effects of this med I am on. So I put on a tee shirt that I have had for awhile but…

If I offend, I'm sorry! I found this hysterical!🙃😂😂😂😂 Rebecca Whidbey Wa

The new car is too techie for me. It even has an auto engine shut off that pretty much resets every time we get in. So at stoplights the engine turns off then as you go forward you hear a little "verroom" as it quickly starts again and you go forward. There is a button to deactivate that. Poor husbands hands still go to…

Husband took photos of the car this morning.😁💖 👍🏼💖 Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Carol, Ah, you are better than me friend and still drive. I seem to have hit a mental roadblock and have no desire to get behind the wheel of a car (even a new car) ever again. Regarding my military ID, I only have to renew it one more time, then the card is good for life! I guess when you get a certain age the renewal…

Lanette, It was bound to happen, hopefully I will never repeat that oopsie! We sadly blew our little savings and need to replenish! It will be a trip planned next year. My traveling to my sisters both end of March and end of June has taken the sails out of any holiday trips for me. I am hoping sons head to see us instead.…

Mo, Losing over 100 lbs, you inspire me! Ouch with the inner tube mishap! When was this? I'm sorry you have neck pain.😥 I will look for those bars in my health section of the commissary. Normally the protein bar area is this intimidating isle where only the healthy, gym rats ventured, not me, miss obese lady😂. But slowly I…

Annie, Yep! Husband is adjusting better than I am! I kinda miss the sweet old car. But he is the one driving it, and its more comfortable for him, so I am happy. I will not be driving this new car, the tech part is overwhelming! Totally out of my wheelhouse. In the scheme of things that's perfectly ok. Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Enjoy the day! Hope your doctor's appointment goes smoothly. Regarding the addition of love and care into cooking, I haven't done much of that lately. I eat food for fuel and my aim isn't ta make it pretty! Maybe two weeks ago I did make a nice roast with all the trimmings. Its nice to be able to taste food as I go. In the…

Welp, I wasted a pen by not taking the cap off so when I pressed down on the plunger it squirted out inside its container, instead of in me. I was like that looks weird, then knew what I had done. I took the cap off and it squirted in the garbage can. Such a doh! moment! I then had to take out another. Its been a busy day!…

Had a nice small pizza using be protein based crust. It was ultra thin but it stood up to me putting 1/4 cup of sauce, sausage bits, black olives and two slices of havarti cheese! Here's the numbers: Heres my haircut yesterday. Its a #3 buzz a round the back and sides with the "island" part longer. Tomorrow we pick up the…

OOh Carol, so sorry your son's dog passed. My condolences to his family and you guys. Some sad grandkids. 😥💖 Rebecca Whidbey WA
