Hi gang. I am home safe and sound, despite falling asleep once driving home YIKES. I had already had a nap on the way, so at the next exit I got off and bought 2 energy shots (I swore I would never drink that poison!) and that did the trick....a little too well; I couldn't sleep last night! :open_mouth: As you saw, Rori…

Hey everyone. Just a quick hello; I'm running around trying to get ready to leave for Colorado tomorrow. Meg from Omaha

Hi friends. How are there over 200 new posts in a day and a half? I can't keep up! I spent the day inside, grading papers and turning in my final grades. In both classes I have one student who is not done. One took a leave and the other one just hasn't finished the last assignment. ERG! It's beautiful out so after dinner…

Holy cow. It's the first of August and we are already on page 4! No way am I catching up! I'm struggling to get on here every day at least to log my food. I feel like the chicken with its head cut off. I keep saying I'll try harder and I still don't manage! I'm also really frustrated that I have been taken phentermine for…

Hi gals. Today is a cloudy day (supposed to have some rain) and I am trimming evergreen bushes in the front yard. Had no idea, but they are out well over a foot onto the walkway! I have some other piddly things to accomplish, then want to relax this evening, something I rarely do. I’m a little disappointed that even with…

Hello! This is just a pop-in because it's 830 and I have not had dinner yet, and no I am not hungry. Love that phentermine. Someone asked for a shoe closet picture; I will try to figure out how to accomplish that! I worked in the yard for 2 hours, otherwise the day was spent on a book. Take care, hope to be more chatty…

HI everyone. I certainly did not intend to be gone for a few days! The time just all blurs together. After that punishing heat last week, we have had several beautiful days here. It's gorgeous again today. Even this weekend, when it's supposed to be 90 will have less humidity and be nice. Yeah! Love being outside when it's…

Oh PSS: I organized my shoe closet. I realized I was a shoe nut, but holy crap...115 pairs! :open_mouth:

Hi all. It's a scorcher here today...the heat index will be 115! When I went out to get the paper, I was sweating by the time I walked back! Not a good sign! I'm doing well on food intake. Just don't have much appetite with the phentermine, which is good, except now I have to eat on a schedule because I actually forget!…

Hi friends! It’s a hot one today! Upper 90s, lots of humidity. I spent a while trying to get my sprinklers working. First it was a dead battery, which turned out to be the backup...we had a power surge the other day and I think it tripped the circuit because there was no power to the outlet. That took awhile to figure out,…

All this spelling talk and Barbie's cute poem made me want to share my spell check story. In the 80s, when home PCs were just beginning to really take off, my first husband and I took out a loan (yes it was that expensive) and bought a home computer because I was going to go to grad school. I was so proud to learn how to…

Hi friends. This will be short and sweet...I worked in the yard for three hours! I'm exhausted! Be back tomorrow!

Hi gals. I had company last night and made the most fabulous ribs last night...not exactly dietetic but OMG. A little rub, wrap in foil, cook 3 hours at 350, turn oven off for 3 more hours. You can add BBQ sauce if you like before cooking or after. They fell off the bone, you couldn't even use a fork! MMMMMMMMMMMMM! Apple…

Hi to all. I survived the Fourth with all my fingers and toes intact! I will attempt to catch up tomorrow! Take care, Meg from Omaha where the weather was actually pleasant today.

Hello to all! I am on my way to a party. My friends live way out in the country so they usually have major fireworks. Hmmmmm fireworks and alcohol, what could go wrong? Actually he's a cop and is very careful. Happy 4th to those living here in the states. Takes care and be safe. Meg from humid Omaha

Hi my friends. What a weird day. I just can’t get my finger on anything long enough to get it done! I had an eye appointment this morning and as a splurge got a new pair of glasses and a pair of sunglasses that don’t have correction on the top and readers for the bottom. YAY now I can read outside! My dry eye is slightly…

Hi my friends. It's another hot day here; yesterday roads were shut because the concrete was buckling under the heat! Barbie thank you for keeping us going each month! Pip: sending you peaceful thoughts; I love your pictures! Reminds me I need to take more pics of my babies. Speaking of photos, I really enjoyed the feline…

Hi ladies. Boy is it hot and humid here! The heat index is 107. The only thing I did was to venture out for a 90 minute facial. OMG was that heavenly! I came home and slept for 2 hours, right through my alarm, a phone call, and three texts~! Carol: I hope your knee exercises work. My knee has really been hurting the last…

Hi friends. It is one hell of a hot and humid day here and I can see the weeds growing by the minute LOL. I guess I will have to get out there this evening. I'm amazed at the number of posts there are; we always have been a chatty group, but this seems like a lot even for that! I've really enjoyed the pictures too,…

Hi all. I fell asleep right after work yesterday, so no posting for me. Wow, I had forgotten how much everyone writes here! I had a grand time reading all the posts since I was here 2 days ago and looking at the beautiful pictures. I saw my therapist today who told me I had no idea how sick I was when I came to see her,…

Well hi friends. I hope you all have been well. I had to take a break but I'm in a much better place now. I have found the serenity and clarity (mostly) I was missing. DH is halfway done with his sentence. I'm not doing anything weight-wise, but my last A1C was 5.7%. So now it's time to get back with the program. I'm…

Hi ladies. It’s a grey, overcast day here today. I had a hard time sleeping last night, maybe because I was overly tired from the snow shoveling! Heather: that venue looks like so much fun! I love places like that. Where are you now? Felicia: I too am interested in the genetic testing and have been thinking about it for a…

Hi ladies and happy women's day. I am exhausted...I shoveled snow for 100 minutes non stop, which burned 1130 calories. Now I am going to collapse LOL. The snow here looks like a fossil record: a layer of snow, a black stripe where cars threw road grime on it, another pile of snow, another black stripe....omg. The birdbath…

Well here I am again. I've been thinking of the self-sabotage thing and can't figure it out. I do notice that if I can't do something all at once or perfectly, I tend not to do it at all. I'm working on that one and try to use "found time" but it's frustrating when I can't finish something. Maybe smaller chunks? I'm on…

Hello ladies and HELP! I am flailing around here so badly that most of you don't know me! :) I need advise on sticking to my plans and not just sabotaging myself. I'm not sure what to do differently. Any words of wisdom would sure be appreciated! Meg from Omaha who is still around!

Holy cow ladies! My life is a blur! I have been working 12-14 hour days and collapsing when I get home. I have a new class starting Monday and it's at the same day/time as the class I am currently teaching. OK so......that should be interesting! Not sure what I am going to do about that one! I survived the frigid last…

Hi ladies. I lost an long post, so here's a shorter one. Things have been crazy at work, 10 hour days doing skills upload for the new students. We got about 4" of snow last night and it is beautiful. The neighbor who knows about DH came over as usual to do my snow removal. He always puts the paper on my porch too. Nice,…

Hi gals. I've read all the posts but can't stay up long enough to comment on everyone! I'm going to bed as soon as DH calls; I didn't sleep well last night and I'm practically drooling here. Welcome to the newbies; you will enjoy being here! Katiebug: OMG I about choked I laughed so hard at the cat/egg picture. That was…

Hi ladies. Well the first day is done for the new cohort of students but I am beat. I taught from 830-4 with only a 1 hour break. Tonight I am watching the football game and going to bed. Tomorrow we start at 7. How did we get 87 posts in less than 24 hours? Wow we are a chatty bunch. It was unusually warm here today; I…

Hi everyone. I finally got to exercising! And I feel good! I have been reading this book called Just One Thing and came across a statement that has really impacted me: What is in my best interests? OK that's obvious, but I bet many of us ignore that bit of wisdom. All my self-help books, all my 12-step meetings, all my…
