Good Monday afternoon, We had pretty good weather for our Community yard sale. Of course, it’s all about location, location, location, and we are located at the end of the development and up a hill, so we didn’t get as much traffic as those on the street below. We did manage to sell some stuff, though, and got rid of a…

The other night my husband came up behind me, put his hands on my waist and said "D*MN, I can almost get my hands completely around your waist now"! I just had to smile!

Good morning again, Some time back there was discussion about whether to keep or discard clothing once it became too big. I admitted that for years, I’ve had clothing from size 4 up to size 14.:embarassed: My 12’s and 14’s have been sitting in totes in the attic for the four years since we moved in our house. This weekend…

Good morning all, DH called me yesterday and said “you’ll have to walk the dog tomorrow”, which means he got a job! He’s been out of work since Thanksgiving so this is wonderful news! He started this morning. He’s a union electrician, so he could be working on a short term project, but any work is better than no work, so…

Good morning all, I finally caught up on all of the posts. WOW…there’s a lot going on here! We are having such weird weather….beautiful and warm one day and then cold and windy the next! Today is really cold…almost a record breaker. I am worried about my little flowers, but it didn’t make it down to the freezing mark, so…

Good morning to all of you lovely ladies and a Happy Belated Mother’s Day,:flowerforyou: I have been so busy that I haven’t had time to catch up with all of the posts, but I’m trying! I had off on Friday and it was a beautiful day, so I cleaned all of my windows and washed and changed all of my curtains. My mother used to…

Good morning all, Last night we saw a mouse in our family room…..EEEWWWW!!! Don’t know how he got in, but I’m a city girl and not used to mice, so I was really freaked out. I sure hope he didn’t bring his family with him. I have not seen mouse “droppings”, so I’m hoping it’s an isolated sighting. DH is going to get some…

It's a personal decison. I'm 60 years old, and although I'm at my goal weight, 60 year old skin is not the same as 25 year old skin, so I would not feel comfortable in a bikini. That being said, if you feel comfortable, go for it! Believe me, other people are not worrying about YOU in a bikini.....they're too busy thinking…

Good afternoon everyone, We had a server update at work and I had major payroll problems getting my payroll to import yesterday. I had to do the entire thing manually. It wouldn’t have been so bad, but it coincided with a new contract which meant that everyone’s rate and union dues percentages had to be changed. It…

Good afternoon and welcome to another week, I got my planting done this weekend and feel so much better. DH and I planted flowers and vegetables. We have peppers, eggplant, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, cucumbers and basil and rosemary. We learned our lesson from last year and only planted one zucchini…

TGIF Vitamin F Friends! Well I told you all I was a novice gardener....my "almost dead" bush is not a hosta, but ornamental grass.:embarassed: My neighbor informed me of this fact last night and said to dig out the parts that are dead and to leave the parts that are still alive (just a few shoots). Since the dogs always…

Good afternoon ladies, Can’t believe it’s May and finally feeling like spring is here. DH has a horrible head cold and I feel like I might be coming down with something too.:sick: I hope not, because I was hoping to plant this weekend as they are calling for beautiful weather. I have a hosta that is on the edge of my lawn…

Bump for later.....

Good evening ladies, Whew! Took all day to get through the posts (on work breaks!). You are all so busy! The 5K walk for Myeloma went well. The weather was just gorgeous and it was great to be with family walking for a great cause. There were more people than I expected, and the walk took us a little longer because we had…

Good afternoon ladies, I got through my "hungry day" and feel myself again. Looking forward to the weekend. We are going to see my DH's cousin's band on Friday night and doing a 5K walk for Multiple Myeloma on Saturday morning. Thank God they are predicting beautiful weather. I will get to see my sister and her whole…

Try going to a 3 hour movie! I almost couldn't stand up after the movie was over! It has made a difference, though, so I'm sticking with it! I guess it all comes down to a matter of priorities.

Good afternoon all, For some reason, I'm feeling very HUNGRY today!:devil: Why is it that some days I do great and other days I just think about food all day? I've been snacking on rice cakes (had 4 of them!) which helped, but that is unusual for me. My DH will be out tonight, so I'm on my own for dinner (which could be…

Good afternoon Vit F ladies, Went to the Phillies game on Friday night. They were predicting thunderstorms, and it did come down, but we got to the 7th inning, the weather was beautiful up until then, and the Phillies kicked butt! We even got out picture taken in front of the field (we never get pics taken at events like…

Good morning ladies, Another morning glued to the TV watching the unbelievable events outside of Boston unfold. If I didn't have to be in work, I'd probably still be watching. Just praying that they catch this guy alive so they can find out who was behind these terrorist attacks and see if there are others involved in the…

Good afternoon, So much going on here, it's hard to process all of it, but trying to take it day by day. :huh: Liz - Thanks for the info on Euchre. I'll have to check it out. We play a game called "Hand and Foot" . Sounds weird, but it's a lot of fun! :devil: Laura & Sue (and others too!) - I wish my taste for sweets would…

Sending prayers to all who were touched by the Boston tragedy. It is too horrible to imagine. It seems like we are glued to our TV's watching these types of catastrophic events play out way too much in today's world. Let us hope and pray that we can unite to put an end to these evil deeds.

Thanks for the info. I never heard of it before!

Good Monday afternoon! First of all, I want to apologize for my rant on Friday. I don't know what came over me that day, but I am so grateful to all of you who offered kind words of support. Those feelings passed by the next afternoon, and I feel myself again. I'm thinking I might talk to the doctor about what I can do to…

Just checking in....I am off today, and you'd think I'd be happy, but I am just feeling down. It took all I could muster to do my 2 miles on the treadmill. I have no energy. I couldn't even get through all of the posts because my attention span is just about nothing. There is no reason for this. Everything is fine on the…

Good morning and Happy Hump Day! I feel like I got a lot accomplished yesterday. I got my exercise done before work and after work I spent about 45 minutes doing more weeding. I still have a lot to do, but hope to get it done a little at a time. I'm still sore from the four hours I put in on Sunday. We gave our dog Milo a…

Another page already!!! Bumping for later.....

This has been my biggest problem and the hardest to break. I am used to "grazing" all day long when I'm at work, and it's been hard making that change. I still think about snacking even when I'm not hungry. But this program is about changing our behaviors, and I don't know about you, but if I keep looking for things to…

Good morning to all, My butt feels a little better today, but I wonder if it will hurt the same way when I weed again (hopefully this weekend). I sure hope not! I could certainly feel it this morning when I did my lunges and bridges.:grumble: My daughter had told me about this stuff called "Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth".…

Whew! Took me all morning to skim through the posts (at work during breaks)! I spent four hours pulling weeds yesterday and my poor butt feels black and blue today! But I put on my big girl pants, upped the incline on my TM and proceeded to do my two miles this morning anyway. I am learning to embrace the pain! Aleve isn't…

OK...Update: I just went into my powder room and guess what I found? My pedometer! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I must have taken it off last night and laid it on the sink but I was so tired, I didn't remember it! That just made my day! Yeah!!!! Things are looking up! Thanks for all the good thoughts. I think they worked! MFP…
