Good morning everyone. Life is going good in the northwest. I went on a fun camping trip with the hubby and brothers family over the weekend. We went up to a gorgeous lake in the mountains and then did a day trip from there to one of the coastal beaches I haven't been to before. The beach was great and had a great time…

Good morning all. I am starting slow today but I am up and moving and will walk the dogs in just a bit. Then I have to make a side dish for the bday bbq for my nephew. We are going to try something new called summer corn cous cous so we will see. My hubby enjoyed his dinner and hen promptly feell asleep on the couch lol.…

Hi everyone. I am having a really good day. Sometimes I just love doing the whole housewife thing. I took the dogs for a nice long walk this morning while it was still cool out and then went and ran some errands. When I got home I picked up the house and cleaned up the kitchen. Did a couple of loads of laundry and started…

Happy to hear he doesn't have pneumonia agin at least. @Karen I am super jealous of your Nashville trip. There are so many places I would like to go and see but hubby and I are…

Good morning everyone. Just got caught up on all the posts. I have been a busy beaver all weekend and didn't get my food recorded because of service issues but had it enough to at least get logged on once a day and not lose my streak so yay for that. My son and I joined my brother and his family on a camping trip Friday…

Good morning everyone. Just wanted to pop in and say hi today. Everyhting here is just gong along like normal. I haven't had any more loss but have not once popped back up over the 300 mark so I am okay with that right now. My hubby is on his last trip for this contract so should be home in a week or so. We are planning a…

Good morning everyone. I hope all is going well with all of you. I think I might have to scale back a little on the walking we will see. I love my fitbit but I tend to get very competetive even with just myself. I have been trying to shoot for 20000 steps just because the ten was coming easy now. I need to step back and…

Good morning everyone. It is a fabulous day here. I finally broke the glass weight barrier. The 300's are history :) Needless to say I am in a very good mood today, lol.ON top of that it is a beautiful day here and will be having the family over for dinner to celebrate my daughters birthday. It should be a great day.…

Good morning everyone. It is going to be a gorgeous weekend here. I am planning on a doggie walk, lawn mowing, and a thorough cleaning of my truck for the day. We went on a nice hike on Wednesday and as true Washingtonians didn't let the rain and the hail stop us lol. Yesterday was my daughters 23rd birthday and she had a…

Good morning everyone. Sorry I haven't been posting but I have been reading and cheering you all on. I still need to lose that last pound to get out of the threes. For some reason I always stall right here but I am at least not gaining anything back this time. My food has been all over the place but I have been faithfully…

Good morning everyone. It is a beautiful day in the Pacific northwest. We had a weird story on the news this morning. A semi had a blowout on one of our major interstates right in the middle of the major commute area. No one was hurt but the semi tipped over and he was hauling bees and their hives. There are literally…

Hello everyone. I hope you all had a great Easter. I had a pleasant day with my family. We all met and had dinner at my brothers with everybody bringing things. I did pretty good except for the lemon poppyseed bundt cake that was brought. I had two pieces of that but since the only meal I ate was Easter dinner and I got in…

Good morning all. @Karen I hope all goes well with the specialist. It can be so hard sometimes to pinpoint what is causing pain in our bodies. @Tanya that "dessert" recipie sounds yummy. I might have to try that tonight :) @Laurie hope you were able to find some clothes that will work for your tri. Rcok climbing is…

Hello all. Had a really busy couple of days. Thursday I got about half of the garden put in. Friday I just did some housework but today was insane. I went and got a truckload of dirt a few more plants and got almost all of my backyard planted. I got 7 planters filled and planted and two out of four flower beds done. Also…

Hello all. Welcome to all the new faces I am seeing on here. I am having a good day today. I wasn't able to walk the dogs because I had my nephew home sick from school and now its raining but I am still at almost 8000 steps so far just walking laps in the house. Yesterday I went temporarily insane and had a binge evening…

Good morning everyone. Today is off to a good start. Yesterday was a bad day as the chronic pain in my side decided to flare up. Dr's have never found a cause and it is a lot less frequent with the way I eat and exercise now but can still put me on my butt at times. As you all know My main form of exercising is walking my…

Good morning everyone. I seem to be getting my mood back under control. Its been several years since hubby leaving put me into such a funk. I love that we are having such a lovely early spring but since we didn't have much of a winter here the allergies are already getting out of control. My eyes itch so bad this morning I…

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't posted for awhile I got the hubby back off to work for two months yesterday and my son doesn't come home for another month so its just me and my daughter for the next month. Probably be mostly just me and the animals since she has a boyfriend now and spends a lot of her time outside of work…

Good morning everyone. Everything has been going pretty good on my end. The son has settled into his job and the hubby is on his final week home. I live in the one little corner of our country getting great weather so been enjoying that. Todays plan is to get a bunch of yardwork done and then tomorrow is hiking and dinner…

Good morning all. Well today is off to a much better start then yesterday. I woke up in the wee hours of the morning yesterday with the stomach flu. Luckily it was fast acting and by mid afternoon I was starting to feel human again. My daughter was lucky enough to be there right along with me :( Oh well feeling pretty good…

Well today is going fairly well. I got out of babysitting as my nephew had a drs apt to get the all clear to resume normal activities after his concussion. I had my mom come over and help me get the computer set back up since hubby finally finished putting together the new desk last night. This piece of furniture took the…

Good morning everyone. I am doing fairly well. I am enjoying having hubby home as usual. Still a little concerned about son. Its a combination of worry and irritation at this moment. I have come to realize that I might have tried to much to make things easier for my kids. They dont always handle adversity as well as I…

Hello all. It is a good day so far. I got the kiddos off to school and then took the dogs for a nice walk. While I was walking the dogs my hubby went over to my parents house. They live real close so when I got back I grabbed my bike and rode it over there. Then we played cards with my parents. Now I am home and putzzing…
