Hello friends, I'm back... Have found out that between not using my CPAP machine for a couple of months, not taking my blood pressure medicine, stress and winter setting in my body couldn't take it. BP went sky high, fibromyalgia kicked in, brain got foggy and with God's strength, I am finally climbing out of the pit I was…

Kaye, I have had people tell me I look so much more alive now and brighter then before I started. Isn't it fun to get the compliments?

Kelly, how stupendous is that, I am throwing confetti at you sweetie and doing the happy dance:happy: :happy: :happy: You are awesome!

Good morning to all my MFP friends this morning, (yawn) early morning that is for me anyway. Have a support group to go to so trying to get on here before I walk Belle and go. Great SV this morning, lost 1.5 lbs:smile: and getting closer to the halfway point. Praise God He has kept me on this journey!!! He and all you good…

Good Friday evening to all. Had a great day, walked Belle, picked up in my living/dining room, went out to eat supper with family and a friend, went to Zona Rosa (an upscale, North Kansas City shopping area) where there was a pajama party for kids with stories by Mrs. Clause, Santa and live music and now home resting. My 5…

Sorry, but I'm not doing the water tag at 10:15PM, will do it tomorrow, do want to get some sleep tonight!!!

I finally remember now, well actually I read it, its Thursday truth. Well I guess my truth is I am getting somewhat forgetful, shocking but true. I also took a new pic of me on my new phone, just have to figure out how to get it out of my phone and onto here:frown: I think it was so much easier when the pictures just…

WooHoo, I am feeling better!!! Actually did dishes last night and took a shower this morning. Have been doing my laundry and about 4PM I'm taking Belle for a walk. I have now joined the 21st century, my son bought me a Galaxy Nexus updated cell phone. It is going to take this lady forever to figure it all out:embarassed:…

Good afternoon friends! I am on the mend finally and will get my kitchen cleaned up today. Had a friend come over to chat earlier and enjoyed the company, when I am sick it seems I get to feeling more isolated. I am also preparing for a Bible lesson I am giving Thursday evening and am happy I am feeling better so I can go.…

Good grief its past 10:30PM already and I am just now getting here! Still not feeling well and sleeping half the day away, so tired! At least tonight I'm not hurting as bad, praying its a sign that I'm getting better. I really miss my walks and Belle misses them too although my son was here today and took her for a walk…

Aug, hanging in here is a major victory. I am praying the Lord gives you the strength you need to surrender up your food. You are here and that is what matters, we need you! God bless you.

Happy birthday to Nzenczak and Spooky:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving holiday and are ready for the dash towards Christmas. I'm feeling a little better again so hope to put my tree up today. My son put up the outside lights for me. I really need some energy to get my…

Just realized I am 5 lbs away from my half way point!!! Praying I make that by the end of the year (after all it is the Christmas season so will have some of the treats.) Christine

Good morning friends, praying you all have a great last day of your 4 day holiday. I am finishing off the holiday sick again. It seems like I just start feeling better and back into my routine when another round hits:sick: I am sure stress has had something to do with it and eating too many pumpkin seeds didn't help the…

Hello old friends and new! Sorry I haven't written in past few days but I have been on an emotional roller coaster since last Wednesday when I found out my sister was so sick. While I did ok with my food that day, I went wild with my debt card and went $500 over my budget. It seems when I can get one thing under control…

Good Thanksgiving Eve to all my MFP pals! Today was a busy day spent with my youngest son running errands, enjoyed unbelievably (sp) nice day today. Got word my sister in Topeka who was going to go to our sister's home in Holton, KS, was hospitalized today. She has congestive heart failure and has had breast cancer. Please…

Hello to all my friends here. It is such a beautiful day today, brilliant blue sky, cool, but not cold. Took Belle on her morning walk and am thinking I need to start doing some housework:ohwell: I have to keep telling myself that it will burn calories. I have a lot of things to take to the DAV tomorrow. Getting rid of my…

Love the clothes MowMow, you are going to look fantastic. I know what you mean about eating and still feeling starved, that's how I get when Im sick. You will get back on track, look how far you've come! Christine

Good afternoon friends. My head ache is starting to let up some, I think I will survive this after all.:smile: I got a 30 min. slower walk in this morning and plan to do my late afternoon one a little longer and a little faster. Belle was so excited to get back to it! Since I have been sick for almost 2 weeks my apartment…

Praying for your husband to be healed right now!!!

Hello to all my friends here, I feel like I have been gone for years. Still fighting the Sinus infection but picking up antibiotic which should help. One of my sons told me to use this sinus rinse which I tried and it is the most disgusting thing I think I have ever done but I have to say my ear isn't hurting as bad…

Sorry, I have been gone, terrible sinus infection, aweful headache and ear ache, can't see straight. Going to bed. Christine

Thank you to all who have served our country! I thank my sons who served and are still serving, I remember my father who served during Korean War and my husband who served during the VietNam War. I have had a crash and burn this week-end and it just dawned on me some of the things which sent me into a tail spin. I have…

I have had a low energy day today but did get my walks in, went to check on my neighbor twice and went to a worship night at church. Can't believe it is almost 10:30pm already. Continuing my walks right now until cold weather hits then will be using Richard Simmons videos. Going to have to get rid of my coffee table so I…

Good morning friends! Well rested through the night and ready for a busy day. Have to put on a crockpot full of beef stew for Church tonight as well as make more corn bread muffins and apple pie crescent rolls. Plan on visiting Lily 2 times today and spend some time with her. Belle loves going to visit her and I think it…

Skinny, take good care of yourself so you can really enjoy your time in New Orleans.

Hello to my MFP family. I have had a busy day and have another busy one tomorrow. A 90 year-old neighbor of mine who cares for her 45 yo invalid son is by herself while her son is in the hospital. She is confused much of the time and without her son who keeps her on track, she is also having some health issues. I spent…

Praying for your uncle and your family at the loss of his wife.

Well, is everyone glued to their TV sets, watching the election results? I think I forgot to post yesterday, I was busy making white chicken chili and corn bread muffins for my small group Bible study. I'm back on track with my eating and exercising and feeling good. Thursday I'm making beef stew, corn bread muffins and…

Good evening friends, had a wonderful day at Women of Faith. Feel rejuvenated and kept my calories under. Walked a bunch and stood a lot during worship songs. Plan to rest tonight as my hip is sore from all the stairs I climbed past 2 days. Congrats to all who have had SVs and NSVs. Promise to do personals tomorrow, too…
