decided to walk on the treadmill...well, could not get our cable to work in the basement..and didn't want to take the time to get music lined up. so, I did a 16 minute mile. figured I was warmed up enough to do my stretch and tone workout. could not get the dvd/vcr player to work upstairs. the last time I did this was June…

hey team....trying to have a better day....gonna keep active and do some yard work, laundry, bills to pay...and get an outdoor walk in. it HAS to happen. I keep saying it, thinking it. just need to do it and be done. logging meals and increasing my water. this all sounds dandy, but I still feel that I'm just not in the…

afternoon folks....heard you ladies on the East coast had an earthquake...hope all is well. soon the approaching hurricane...thinking of you and please take care:heart: I know first off that happiness has to start with myself. It is an unknown battle I face every day. I love my family and dear friends deeply, enjoy where I…

I would have to say my childhood was both happy and unhappy. I look back now and see my very shy ways as depression....and still there. my parents never said boo about anything. was raised with no affection...touched or spoken. I vowed to change that when I had children... and it was a very, very hard thing to do. I get…

I mowed yesterday...pulled some weeds. need to pull some more. Tanner wanted something *chocolate*. So I baked some fudge bars..the kind with sweetened condensed milk in them. I had some after supper. too many 'some'. taking Rosie to get her boosters then I think I will work in the yard for a little bit. plan to do a walk…

Happy Sunday gang! Well, yesterday I stayed on track. Might have gone over with my cals at supper time..I was really craving an ice cream or a drumstick, but I held strong..and just drank some water instead. I think I am ready to start exercising...mentally. I know to expect pain initially, so I just gotta take that first…

Barb...still admire the journalism...enjoy your reading. my bedtime ritual consists of either reading or doing mind/puzzles. if I've had a bum day and I end it with completing a puzzle, I feel I've accomplished at least something good-brain worthy. satisfaction indeed. Angie..just a lil pound. could be many things. you'll…

I will say I have done this before...and even the same foods eaten...guilty as charged. I'll be so kind and share the details...it may nauseate you so this is a warning, **read with caution**... I stopped at a McDonald's and had me a McDouble, regular burger AND a large fry. (why not a small?? I dunno) I stopped at Casey's…

up at least 2 lbs. had a different day planned than what is actually happening...:ohwell: nothing work related. oldest son is having problems getting his loans activated for college. still not resolved. took Tanner to get his car picked up (had some body work done) stopped @ 2 fast food places on the way home...not good.…

Tanner and I went grocery shopping...the house is stocked again. no reason not to log my food intake now. Kinda tired right now... still gettin used to the routine. will be grilling for supper. pork chops for the guys and turkey burger for me. think we'll do some cabbage and onions too. have a good Thursday.

been doing paper work (bills, check books, filing, etc) since I finished a.m. bus route. WOW. need to get better about doing it more often. still amazed at all the paper/garbage. unreal. do any of you ladies do paperless for bills? I'm considering.... I think I figured out my bus door problem. thanks to Tanner. he went out…

Morning/first day of school A SUCCESS!! I was smiling so much my cheeks were starting to hurt! I have a list of questions for my supervisor..he is to call me back soon. I did not lock my bus, and still don't want to until I know for sure it will open....that is one of my questions! I have a lot of quiet here...I don't mind…
-
taking a break right now. per my supervisor I locked my bus last nite...back door, all windows and the service door. prior to doing this I **practiced** locking and unlocking the service door with the door opened...just to get the feel of it. I panicked a little when I couldn't get it open this am. I mean I did…

good afternoon...quiet with the SHGP's lately....actually, all summer....hope things change soon and y'all come back. :heart: brought my bus home today. it is a 2009 and has 43,000 miles on it. might be the newest bus I've ever driven. very nice, clean for the most part. and all I have to do to open the door is push a…

Angie...glad you all got out of your building and are ok....that must have been scary. way to go on the weight loss. what you're doing is working!! agree with ya on logging food. it IS time consuming. I think I've pretty much got all my foods in the system now. when I'm logging, I'm also weighing and measuring my food.…

scale said 185. that's a gain of 2.8 from 2 weeks ago. could be better could be worse. time to kick it in high gear...well, at least a better gear than where I'm at now. did get ok from Dr. on Wednesday to resume all activities, with caution. very tired today. guys arrived home around 11:30. dh restless....no decent sleep…
-
everyone must be busy...hope you're all well. had our bus meeting...and it went very well! I am a very happy bus driver. 1. my route did not change (which could change b/c people are still registering). 2. I get a shuttle this year! YAHOO! this will add $ 3000 to my wages! 3. looks like I will get varsity football....and…

hi team...very tired. didn't sleep well last nite. guess what? it happened. TOM is here...I was so upset I cried. glad to see surgeon today and get some answers. all that stuff I read earlier, even before my surgery and yes, Dr did mention it, but said the chances were very low. I'm the very low chance. she still seemed to…

I took Tanner to work this am, shopped ALL day....we have a wedding to go to Saturday, and I was hoping to get a new dress. not happening. WOW. I don't think I have **ever** been this flabby since I ever started exercising, I mean really exercising with effort...and that would be back in '02. ok, bout 10 years. the other…

Barb....I don't know 100% how you are taking this "practice" run with painting...but it made me giggle. so you now have a bright, cheery, happy place for *Plum* to be. that's what I love about painting, oh..the possibilities!! My friend, you have created a piece of "art". I say get a black marker or, even some paint and…

well, today has been good. I kept busy working in the house for at least 4 hrs. all my food is logged and need to eat at least 300 more. water is 12+. had a yummy chicken egg roll for supper. probably not too healthy, but one of those 'moderation' items. now...to get up and do it all over again tomorrow!
-
didn't go shopping and just loafed all day...stuffing my face with comfort foods. it's like since the scale isn't working, the binger took over. chips n salsa, mac n cheese, cookies, popcorn, candy. I don't know if this has happened to any of you, but when I eat too many carbs/sugars, my eyes get like this film over them,…

Lily has had it only a…
