Got the house cleaned up for our company's arrival tomorrow. Had a weird dinner of grilled flounder and some low-carb yogurt tonight. Eh.... had a clementine, a pear and some leftover pasta at lunch today. Waiting for DH to get home from the pharmacy. Tomorrow he works early (9a-5p) so he'll be able to be here when the…

Sandy from ON - have you tried OTC melatonin about 30 minutes before bed? When I have trouble sleeping it helps me. Not completely out of my going-to-the-Y funk, but I've been yesterday and today to lift weights. Also contemplating changing my work hours from 9a-6p to 10a-7p with the thought that I could work out in the…

So how do you turn off the day counter? I didn't know you could do that.

Renny - hope you're feeling better soon. Back pain and foot pain are the worst, IMO. Can't recall who was talking about the winter light -- since exercising regularly over the past 2-3 years it doesn't bother me as much, if at all. Perhaps you'll have the same experience. The bed was so hard to get out of this morning --…

Joyce, do you go to the YMCA? Ask if their weight machines are connected with Fitlinxx. That is the software at my Y that records my reps and total weights lifted each time. You can also use Fitlinxx on the web to log non-YMCA activity into their system. Michele, you can search for products on the kroger website. I also…

(L-R) Georgia Gals -- Laura (Yardtigress), Gail (Gardengail) and Lorraine (luiescott). (My friend Sue, who is not on MFP, but joined us yesterday, took the picture.) We had a great time getting to know each other and found we had so many common interests, including a wide range of hobbies – pets, all sorts of needlework…

Michele – we get panko at Kroger all the time, I even think they have their own brand. DH works at the Kroger pharmacy so we do most of our shopping there and have never had any problem getting a product. You can always ask the manager to order something in for you, as well. RE: buttermilk, I’ve never noticed what sizes…

Good morning everyone! Cold, but lovely this morning. DH is on his way for his long weekend and I have the house to myself -- such a treat! Katla, you look wonderful! Great results from your great effort. Have to get out to work, but wanted to check in. Gail, metro ATL

Popped in to try and stay up with the thread...glad to see some gals back! Liz fr Halifax NS – thank goodness your little GB piped up at school! Since they are typically duty-bound to respond I think it is much faster response than if your DD tried to go back through the legal system. Sorry everyone is going through it…

Sylvia – congratulations on your weight loss to date. That is terrific! Michele – my DH does the same with our dog and treats. Otherwise just marking my place for now. Gail, metro ATL GEORGIA GALS – there is a get-together at my place on Saturday, 10/26/13. We’ll start with a meet and greet from 9:30a-12:30p to get to know…

Up extra early with a weird dream I can't shake, so out of the bed and on to my day. Gail, metro ATL

Susan - no, I'm not an attorney, but we have gone through that trial by fire with DH's sisters' deaths and a couple of other things. To everyone, do get your affairs in order, let your family know where your key information is, etc. Even if death is not involved, like when our son had a brain injury and needed help/care…

Michele – I have an android phone. (RE: the metronome app) Sylvia – please do get checked out for those symptoms. Sandy, post 1 – what a terrific response from your brother! That is promising. Sandy, post 2 RE: your mother’s debts – in the US, only the assets of the estate are liable for the obligations of the estate.…

Michele – I have an metronome app on my phone to keep my walking pace. Back to the races today! Gail, metro ATL

Hello lovely ladies -- I'm back from the trip with my sisters, cleaned the kitchen, did some general picking up, opened the 'mail' (such as it is these days), checked the banking online, brushed the dog and have the second load of laundry going into the dryer. We did NOT cook our meals in the unit, but ate every one out so…

Good morning to everyone -- so excited because today is my travel day to spend a long weekend with my sisters! While I've pretty much been a slug the last few days due to workload, I should get loads of walking in over the next few days. My October goals are the same as for the whole year: Weight Lifted: 2,000,000 lbs for…

Another quick post before work - I was there until 11:15p yesterday, but all the invoices got entered. Now for the brokers to approve them so they can go to accounting...we'll see if that happens before I'm out of the office for a few days. No exercise for me yesterday and did poorly on the water as well, which the scale…

Thanks for the new thread, Barbie! Bumping to mark my spot for October. I love the fall, too. I particularly like the cool mornings..... Off to work early today - two more days at work this week, then off for a few days with my sisters. Don't quite know if I'll get all the invoicing done before I leave, but if not,…

Michele - don't lose heart! Our second son went through a similar distancing from the family for a number of years, but has now reconnected. Gail

Amanda – so good to see your post! Hope you’re soon released from medical care. Sandy/ON – so sorry for the mother-daughter relationship you didn’t have, but certainly deserved. Grieving that missed relationship is understandable, but perhaps you’ve found a surrogate to fill the ‘mom’ relationship in your life? Gardengail…

Michele - thinking of you today as it is delivery day for the 5 yards of egg rock. Did not move the slicks yet .... The worker bees will be here at 9-ish to move the rocks as well as to bury some drain pipe coming off the gutter downspouts. It won't be long and the yard will truly be done! Work was really busy this week…

What beautiful babies! Congrats to each of you on the new additions.... Hugs to those that need them... Went to Olive Garden with DH for dinner, so must go walk now. Gail, metro ATL

Pat (Phoo) – I am so envious of the trip for Hatch green chilis! I love that even at the grocery stores (at least in NM) you can buy your bag of chilis and they will roast them out in front while you are shopping. When you’re done you pick them up to take home. I did that one time when we lived in AZ, but were visiting NM,…

Michele – don’t worry, I still get to move some rocks. When we started the project in 2011, we did not purchase enough egg rock and ended up using the larger ‘slicks’ to hold down some drainpipe in one part of the yard. Now those will have to be picked UP before the additional egg rock goes down, and then placed wherever…
